I am bit confused... DCM has several agents ranging from level 1 up in mining and security.
The lower your standing is with a corporation the higher your boost in standings when completing a mission for that group.
Standings can be shared with a fleet even if you are not in system whe the mission is turned in.
So why not solve this problem by paying a player to boost your DCM standing? Heck, what happens if you have high DCM standing and aggress a DCM member in a belt with a DCM NPC fleet present?
Seems like a huge fuss over nothing.
Oh... And your actions over years have consequences? Welcome to eve. |

One point, many people seem to be assuming that the mining fleets are the end result instead of the initial stages of new NPC behavior. In addition, people seem to forget or not know of the past history of NPCs in eve nor the systems in place to help deal with this already.
For example, the NPC haulers of old. They would travel from station to station in system. If killed you would take a sec hit and standing loss. You gain some random loot that at one point was valuable. They did not have defense fleets but of your empire faction Standing fell you had faction police around. The new mining fleets are an extension of this.
Also, the Diplomacy skill would solve many problems here. Unless you killed a lot of DCM players, you can train Diplomacy to improve negative standings. Heck at level 5, Diplomacy turns my -10 Gurista standing to -6. I believe you would need DCM standing below -8 to not have Diplomacy eliminate this problem. |

Again, the idea of more dynamic NPCs in eve is old and a goal of CCP. It may not roll out perfectly and it may mess up some things.
Still, to play in a world that is more alive be it NPC life or not, i am happy to watch. Yeah it will be interesting. Yeah there may be oddities. But still to see more active consequences for our actions is great. |
