Those sure aren't pretty figures Jash I have to admit, and something sure smelled fishy when Sally and I ended up on the same side of the argument ;)
Edit (damn - trust me not to read dev-blogs)

On reflection chaps, (and having now read the thing) ...
Its a real shame. I love the idea in principle but we can't do without non-consenual war decs.
I have posted in the dev blog my opinion.
I think the standings should allow multiple non-consensual war decs, but the control should be money, with a sliding scale of cost to each subsequent -10 (declaration status) ... with inherited -10 decs (from allies) being free.
As a principle I am with Sally, Druken, Athule and Jash. Non consenual warfare must stay.

Don't despair Jash, we're in agreement on this one. Lets just lobby the chap and try and get the idea refined to allow non-consensual war in some form that works with the new system.
Clearly TomB isn't a loon (or he wouldn't have bothered floating the idea and inviting comments).
Lets not panic till the fat-lady sings.

Yep, for all I got called a communist by those lovely chaps at Taggart ;) I do believe cash is the answer to most dilemmas in balancing.
Making corps pay for non-consensual war decs is the way to go.
Roleplay wars (where both agree) can be free and thats fine.
But for professional mercs and pirates and people going for kills in empire space it would make total sense for them to pay for the maintenance of war decs.
Plus .... the cost of it, would provide a driver for ending war decs.
At the moment there is no real way of encouraging corps to end the status of war. (beyond bashing them).
What do you think TomB?
1+2+4+8+16m per week per war dec? (-10 standing)
(free if the target repicrates with -10 standing)
Is that doable?
And can it work with the system you propose?
Love and peace
(PS ... if you were really daring you could set a various price on each stage of dec based on the total number of decs outstanding. A market economy in murder and mayhem ... think of that!)
