This came to me in the midst of a conversation the other day.
Most people want to toy with PvP, but the possible losses are keeping them from it. There are others, still, that have grown tired of chasing pirates and are unwilling to become outlaws themselves.
So how do we get PvP into the game for these people? NPC Corp Wars.
It's that simple. In the current news with this food taint business...have a couple of those NPC corps from each side declare war on each other. Any PC's looking for consentual PvP join one side or another with an alt and enter the fray.
I can't see any drawbacks to this, actually. Anyone see a flaw that I don't?

I can't speak for others but there are two big things making me reluctant to go into low sec space and toy with PvP right now:
a) JIP camping. Dying before your screen loads seems a singularly pointless activity.
b) Implants. Even at current much-less-than-they-were-once prices I have more investment in implants than I can casually replace out of petty cash. One pirate who thinks it's fun to podkill (or just a leftover cruise missile) and I'd be looking at a painful and currently uninsurable loss.
Taken together, that's too big a risk of too big a loss to take PvP lightly. We need JIP camping eliminated (but with some other means to let pirates (and bounty hunters) have a chance of bring people to action). And we need implant insurance!
*Or* they could make pods from the same materials they use for secure cans... :-)

Hence using an alt.

It would be a cool idea, only flaw I can see would be that some races, such as Amarr are outnumbered player wise.
When on the battlefield, if you try not to let others take the lead and have the sole intention of breaking into the enemy lines, then you will not fall behind others, your mind will become fierce, and you will mainfest martial valor. Furthermore, if you are slain in battle, you should be resolved to have your corpse facing the enemy. |
