This is a idea i had..
Basicly, you would be allowed to declare war on npc corps as part of faction warfare.
Right, ill go thou a few basic points:
1) what about the noobs? people will just war dec "state war acd" and sit outside kisogo station blasting noobs for ages.
Well, fighting a npc corp would be different to fighting a standard corp. Each Empire system would now be split up into which npc corp owned it, as well as the race. If you are at war with SWA for example, and you went into kisogo, well they own the place, so their sentry guns would shoot you, they would spawn faction ships to engage you (mabye dependent on your skills etc). If you are sighted at a gate or station in other systems faction ships could be deployed to chase you. So for the very newbie corps it would be hard to really fight effectively.
2) what about other corps like caladri pro?
Well, they are not a fighting corp, but they have their own wing, so again you would not be able to dock at their stations, their guns would shoot you, they would deploy faction ships to chase you. But as you go down the list of sec status, it becomes easier for you to engage. 0.5 they wouldnt even spawn faction ships to attack you.
3) isnt this just gonna hurt noobs?
well it would hurt noobs a bit. However i believe that it wont be much, and eve is harsh....i mean i see someone in a GEDDON sitting in 1.0 mining, 10 day old player...makes me cry. Eve should always have a risk of loss, i dont think thats enough. Also, many hard core pvpers could well decide to join the newbie corps etc, if they feel that "protecting" noobs is a good cause, and also if they want good targets in empire who are also looking for a good fight- something lacking in high sec currently.
4) what about the cost?
War cost would likey remain the same, considering if you do declare war on a npc corp, the odds WILL be against you. it wont be EASY. you will be able to get off a good kill against that afk hauler in 0.9 sometimes, however most of the time its going to be fighting against pvp players in npc corps- ones that go looking for you, and against faction navy forces.
5) faction warfare and agent missions.
If a faction has had war dec by player corp, then it could be possable for missions to be created against that corp. kill such a player, steal ore off etc etc, dependent on your skills again, you might have faction navy help etc. a good way to help mission runners and new players to get into pvp.
6) what if i really ****ed off a npc corp?
then i dont see why they wouldnt be able to declare war on you....the hunter becomes the hunted.....
Those are some basic points, constructive points ONLY please :) If you really dont like it, please explain why, and how mabye it could be adjusted to compensate :)
Have fun all, good hunting.
