NPC Corps should have a scaling tax rate...
0-3 months = no tax then for every month they are in a npc corp they'll get taxed 10% with each month adding another 10%, for every month he/she is in a player run corp they'll get one months of npc corp tax deducted.
So 4 months in npc corps means you would pay 10% tax, then if you'd stayed 4 months in a player corp you'd be able to go back to the npc corp and pay 0 tax again. - - -

Raise all bounties and payouts by %15.
Add %15 tax to NPC corps.
Voila.
Suddenly if there is a corp with low tax rate, there is a benefit for me to join.
I'm not going to pay someone isk for the privilege of fighting for them.
I fight for you, YOU pay ME, not the other way around.
Maybe next you want me to wash your dishes and pay you a salary.
What is the point of taxing at 15% if you raise all the payout by 15%?
I do not see the logic. Doesn't mean it is not there, I just don't see.
EDIT: Keep payouts the same tax at 10-20% NPC corps, then you have a reason to move on to player corps. YOu should pay for the protection that the Empires and Concord provide.

What he's saying is that if you then leave the NPC corp for one with a 5% tax rate, you're going to get 10% extra for doing missions.

Bounties and payouts go up %15.
NPC corp taxes me %15.
I gain nothing, I lose nothing.
Suddenly I see a PvP corp recruiting. %0 tax. Pew Pew.
I join, because I get an extra %15 income.
There is a benefit to me for joining.
Right now PvP is not a profession. It is an isk sink. It is a way to DISPOSE of your income.
PvP should be advantageous, people should have BENEFITS for doing it, to encourage it.

I see now. Now that is clear then that is why I said in my 1st statement that the NPC corps tax rate should really be between 20 and 30% considering the level of protection they recieve without any obligation to the Empire. The NPC player pilots have no obligation to logistics, protection of territory, etc. so all they do is profit. No Empire would stand for that. I say again NPC corp tax should be 25% or so.

Why do some you people even play games? So what if someone has a trillion isks but doesn't fly around doing pew-pew?
If you want a lot of the precious isk you need to spend time on that aswell...the average age EvE is said to be 27, i think the forum's average age is 16: confused, eager to impress and unwilling to take responsibility for their own choices or acts.

Originally by: Avon Edited by: Avon on 26/03/2008 11:26:17 I think there needs to be a difference between an NPC starter corp and other NPC corps.
New players in a starter corp should have the same benefits as the currently enjoy, but with the same restrictions which are placed on trial accounts.
When they are ready they can move to an NPC corp of their choice (within RP background selectivity). These NPC corps would be pretty much the same as they are currently, except they could be war dec'd, but with consequence. The cost of going to war with this type of NPC corp should be much higher, and should include corp & faction standings penalties, and ultimately retaliation (Stations refusing docking, station guns firing, and ultimately faction navy support for the NPC corp).
A system such as this would also remove one of the obstacles which stand in the way of heavily nerfing suicide ganks. It would also make a great starting point for factional warfare.
This, OTOH is an interesting idea. EVE RELATED CONTENT |

Then PC corps will make their tax %35.
After all most of them are %15 now for no benefit and most people join them like tools.
The alliance game is not end game, it's midgame.
First you're a noob.
Then you join an alliance and all excited, then you find out you're a tool.
Then you go your own way and do your own thing. That's endgame.

If the big alliances want to bring freighterloads of moon minerals to hisec to trade, they should pay %30 for the privilege.

I also propsed a tax on trading originally. Itmakes no since in a game system where taxes exist that profits from trading would not be affected by it.

Edited by: Amarth Thargan on 26/03/2008 14:58:49 BTW why can't a pilot be independent? Or only affiliated by their race and bloodline. Would have been to simple maybe.
If you quit a corp one is put into a npc one automaticly. Instead of forcing people to either create their own or find a new one immediatly, you could give the option to be independent.

CCP wants people to "get involved" and "mix it up" and "be part of the politics" but they never put in the mechanics to make that advantageous.
I can think of about a dozen ways to make Eve rock. And by that I dont mean a PVE game, but purely a PvP game with more destruction and an economy that isn't stagnant.
But it doesn't matter since there is no competing game, there is no reason for change, the subs will go up up up until a better company comes along to pick up the genre.

Originally by: Overwhelmed There are times when they discuss PC corps and many of them either don't feel ready - or even more commonly - haven't found a corp that stands out.
And there is the root of the problem. Newbies have 5,000,000 corps to choose from and they can visit the recruitment channel where they are subjecting to 10ish corps spamming identical sales pitches (usually promise of stuff for joining). The forums are similar in this regard.
So the point is, its not that newbies suck at leaving, its that you guys suck at recruiting - and if you're in one of those very common elitist "reference-only" corps, you also have no right to speak on the matter.

I like this line of thought, though I don't particularly like the idea of subsidizing ratting and missions even more than they are already, especially over other isk-making activities.
Maybe base service, transaction, and broker fees could also be raised somewhat, and then discounted a little below where they are now for people in player corps.

You're wasting your time with these kinds of ideas. For several reasons.
The only real protection an NPC corp gives a player is protection from wardecs.
Someone who doesn't want wardecs at all, ever, is not going to have them. They can simply make their own one-man corp and then bail if they get wardecced. This is not terribly inconvenient to do, only requires a few minutes of training, and costs very little isk.
The end result is that players who don't want to be wardecced have to live a miserable existence in a one man corp with nobody to talk to. But they still won't be able to be forced into PvP because they do not want to be.
There is no isk faucet. EVE is experiencing a deflation right now, despite all of the highsec mission running carebears. I wonder why.
Taxes for NPC corps probably wouldn't be a bad thing, but would penalize new players just for being new. I think having pitiful skill points and lack of experience is good enough.
Just leave it alone. The amount of players who actually enjoy living and playing in an NPC corp is pretty small and aren't really affecting you in the big picture. I see no reason to worry about it currently. Maybe if it becomes an epidemic...

I think CCP does want the things you mentioned...but I'm also pretty sure they figured out early that there's no money to be made in forcing people to become serial victims. They are letting people find their own way and make their own fun - running a sandbox game, in a word. The rules are there to make sure that some groups don't trample all over others and drive the game under.
What those of you with a yen to make this a "pure PvP" game seem to miss is that there has never been a successful, purely PvP MMO to the degree you want (else you would all be playing it). Half of you only mean PvP in the context of "me ganking the defenseless crafters/industrialists". Sorry, no one is going to sign up to be victimized for very long. Why do you think UO introduced Trammel, and EVE put in Empire? The other half want all of EVE to be like low sec and 0.0. Great. Low sec is almost depopulated, so that won't do anyone any good. But what if every single high sec miner and it's player vanished tomorrow, along with high sec? My guess...mining alts would sprout all over null sec, and there would be immediate whining about how defenseless miners are, and how they need protection.

Originally by: Barzam Carebears in NPC corps are not contributing to the online experience anyway. They are playing a solo game void of contact with other people. Just forget about them.
This is just so inaccurate it is not true.
Here is newsflash for all those player corp dwellers who can't understand why some people don't move out of newbie corps: because *gasp, shock, horror* there is a sense of community within those corps for those that intend to stay there. Strange I know, people actually interacting with each other in a MMO game.
That they are doing so in a fahsion that is different from how you do so in no way invalidates it. That your perception is inaccurate however does invalidate your comment, and the comments of several others here.

Originally by: Avon
The thing is, quite often that is exactly what is happening. Not direct attacks, but NPC corps are used not just by new players, or low SP players, but also as a "safe" way to provide industrial and logistical support to PvP organisations.
If that is the problem, which would apparently be pvpers acting like the carebear-stereotype they so despise, why seek to punish those people who are not complicit in such?
If the above is true your real problem is with you fellow pvpers. But then, that is the logical consequence of the easy use of alts in this game. I believe empire dwellers are constantly told to 'adapt or die'? It is a phrase that has wider application.

There are plenty of people that want to "fight"; there are a lot fewer that aren't trying to gank you.
Everyone wants to be the ganker, not the gankee. Hence the whole reason behind the OP, to force more players to be gankees....

Don't understand the reason for this post...
This game is what anyone expects of it and how anyone acts in it. Some people like to pvp, some like to pve, some like to mine, some like to kill miners, some like to kill pve'ers... So what is your point?
I think CCP should put a BAN on the term carebear because in essence there is nothing with a carebear. Unless they are macromining carebears.... The term alone is insulting. Now, I'm not a carebear but I'm getting a little tired of all the people here whining about carebears.
