Originally by: Cpt Fina If, according to your claim (got a link btw?), the benefits of being in a corp is paid by the risk of being war-decced then what are the startingfees for?
My claim is that war decs are the price for being able to claim space - nothing more, nothing less. The starting fees, I suppose, pay for the benefits listed by Venkul Mul above.
Quote: Buff: Increase the general tax-rate on the market by 5% but buff player-corps so that they don't get affected and decrease the general NPC-bounties by 10% but buff player-corps so they don't get affected.
That is still a nerf. A buff could be anything that improves on the existing advantages a corp has (again, see above), or perhaps adding new stuff that only corps can have.
Quote: One's buff are the other players nerf. Alot of people fail to realize that it's relative.
...and thus you counter your own rhetorical point. Indirect nerfs don't attract the same attention (and whines). The ones who don't care either way still won't care, and the ones who do are the ones that might now change to a player corp to get at those extra benefits...
...and that was the goal all along, wasn't it?
Quote: The social aspect of being in a player corp and the common goals that it sets are reason enough for many. I would imagine that they also accept the fact that ones action in game can and should have the desired consequences that the ones being affected by these actions wish.
In other words, and once again as stated above, there are distinct advantages to being in a player corp - couldn't it be that these already make it worth it if you care about those things? If you don't you're not likely to join a player corp, no matter what changes are made...

"No, being war-dec:able is the price you pay for having control over your own allegiance and being able to expand your empire."
"Having control" as in being given the means to control it? If not then what?
Also not to forget. Your argument is based solely upon that you personal belief about this matter holds tight. If one were to say the direct opposite their argument would bear as much weight (in this particalar mattter) as yours.
Would it be ok for me to also arbitrarily designate cost to costdrivers and base my arguments on that? If so then I could simply claim that the transactiontax of all NPC-players actually goes to the restauration-cost of the NPC-stations and not the actual transaction. Thereby an additional tax should be implemented to compensate for this. The repairbill that all NPC-players recieves when repairing ships actually only covers the repair-staff's sugar used on their coffeebreaks and therefor an additional fee should be implemented.

Yes, itÆs still a nerf just like I said in my post. As long as you tilt the balance of NPC/playercorps towards to player corps the NPC-corps will experience a nerf.
If you were to introduce a ship, module or whatever that only could be used by playercorps it wouldnÆt change the fact that they compete on the same level in many aspects but without the same penalties.

No, I donÆt counter my own points here. To make sure that NPC-corps doesnÆt compete at the same efficiency as the rest of us you basically have to nerf them.
Example: 2 traders. 1 in a NPC corp and one in a player corp. Both got 0,5% transactiontax and both got 0,5% brokerÆs fee. The NPC-player can compete at the same efficiency but do not have to fear the repercussions from other entities that the playercorp-player does.
A decrease in tax/fee for the Player-corp guy would not be sufficient. YouÆd have to increase the tax/fee for the NPC-guy to have any significant effect.
Originally by: Tippia
...and that was the goal all along, wasn't it?
The goal is to have NPC-corpers compete at a decreased efficiency since they override the very means players have to fight competition.

Well, you can say that about almost everything in game. I, personally find the Harbringer Battlecruiser aesthetically more appealing then the Drake; obviously the harbringer got distinct advantages and should not be considered to be buffed.
Common goals and socialization isnÆt aspects that should be taking into consideration in balancing since itÆs highly individual and could also be seen as major drawbacks.

Quote: The very idea of EvE is that everyone is subject to PvP, regardless of wether they choose to or not. RTFM.
I assume by that you mean he ability to dec em?. People in npc corps ARE subject to pvp, you just got to pay the piper to engage them...
Quote: Carebears in NPC corps who stay in high security space all day and farm isk with no real risk and cannot be war dec'ed.
Translation: Waaa, I cant dec and make life miserable to 100% of the populace wihtout getting concordokened, my risk-averse mentality forces me to whine for Empire nerfs! They are ruining my game!
The ideal is wtf-ever the Devs who designed the game want it to be, and apparently they have no problem with this. I'm sure it saddens you that you can't dec 100% of the populace, but that's the way it is. Suck it up and quit whining.

Leave The NPC corp ? Why ?
If I leave I want back,..
The 100's of n00bs I've helped, they are mine. I helped them put their villard wheels to together, picked them up when they got shot down. Pointed them in the right direction when they were lost.
The billions of isk, time, & assets I've given away. I accepted just a thanks, refused promised hours of servatude, the repayment of isk, few fittings & loot, but if your forcing me out, I'm going to want something back in return.
Please take your troll some one where else.

For me it's not really a matter of advantages and disadvantages. I mean, I don't really see NPC Corp vs. Player Corp as an important balance point in the sense of tallying up their pros and cons and trying to make them roughly equivalent.
What - is - important to me, is that almost everybody past their rookie stage be susceptible to WarDecs. Exactly how that's accomplished--whether it's be kicking people out of NPC corps, heavily incentivizing them to leave under their own power; or by creating new kinds of decs targeting NPC corps or individuals--is secondary. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

All well and good - except for the impression that being in a starter corp means no social interaction. This is completely inaccurate.
And as for profound understanding of what the game is meant to be about - sandbox, remember?

No. Saying that there is a beneficial social aspect of one thing doesn't imply that there is no social aspect of another.

The game is also about spaceships. Saying that one gamecharacteristic is a part of the fundamental idea behind a game doesn't have rule out another.

Who is trying to flame now? For the record I am not, but it appears perhaps you are.
Cpt Fina - you were the one to claim that people in player corps had "a more profound understanding of what this game is meant to be about". My simple point is that, in a game which is widely touted as a sandbox, the idea that one set of players has a more profound understanding than another is simply laughable, and frankly meaningless.
As for the other matter, it still reads to me that your implication is that starter corps lack the social interaction that player corps have. I am quite prepared to accept that was not your intent, but that was how it came across.

All that can be constructed only at a POS, included reactions and moon mining.
Nonsense. You simply create a 1 man corp with 5 minutes of training, anchor the pos with your 9.9 standings from grinding missions all day, and then use a placeholder alt to hold the corp.
Reactions and moon mining cannot be done in highsec, NPC corp protections don't matter once you go into lowsec. Red herring.
Originally by: Christari Zuborov
Can't rent hangar in station, can't put up pos, can't purchase labs for pos.
What would you do with a hanger exactly in your 1 man corp? Yes you can put up a pos, and yes you can purchase labs for the pos.
Originally by: Christari Zuborov
No, even if I would be very curious to see how someon can use a supercapital in a NPC corp. but probably using alts it is possible to manage it.
Why wouldn't it be possible?
Originally by: Christari Zuborov
Beside the above? Can't be helped by other players in the corp when aggressed. Can't be helped by other player in the corp when can is stolen. Essentially if you get aggro you don't get anyone that can help you.
None of which has to do with npc corps and everything to do with your chosen playstyle of being solo. 1 man corps don't get these benefits either.
Quote: Weakest safety net as some NPC corp players can help you, but in a good corporation they will support you much more.
Can't access corporation BPO (a good corporation will have a noticeable number of researched BPo for production, locked against corp thieves, but usable.
Bull****. The vast majority of corps don't have BPOs available for you to just use. The ones that do tend to use those BPOs in production.
Quote: No access to a corporation hangar with plenty of "free" ammunition and low metalevel modules.
Red herring, corp hangers are only stocked because members contribute towards it. You contribute nothing, therefore you get nothing.
Quote: Can't wardec someone (rarely, but you can want to do it).
Bull****. You can setup a corp in 2 seconds and immediately vote to wardec with your one man corp.
Quote: Harder to set up group operation.
Not really, setup a common channel for you and your friends and voila, instant organization.
Quote: A good corporation is way better than the NPC corp, sadly there is a large percentage of bad corporation and hardly a good system to recognize the good from the bad.
Which is just a red herring, because the real reason you're in an npc corp is to dodge wardecs, otherwise why wouldn't you be in a 1 man corp?

According to CCP, the makers of Eve, they're trying to get more and more players to join player corporations. They have it as a goal. Thus a reduced number of people in NPC-corporation and an increased number of players of player-corpiration is in line with the vision that the founders of this universe have. These players would have a profound understanding of the direction this universe is aimed to go.

Because the two people in the NPC starter corp running missions are destroying the game. Get a grip, its working as intended for the 4000 other beginners in the starter corp. And those guys with CNRs that seem to be invincible? They get suicide ganked all the time.
Raising taxes is not a good solution because if it were to force players out, they would make their own 1-man corps - oh and have fun finding them all to wardec. It also cuts off more communication necessary to find a good player corp (the newbie corp chat - believe it or not people form new corps from the pool there). Either that or they would join corps just for lower taxes, oh and what a loyal member that shares your vision you would have then.
Yes, I think there are things that could be addressed, like certain obvious exploits by industrial vets, but don't blame the 0% tax rate on the fact that no one wants to join your stagnant 0.0 corp with no goals.

If CCP objected to players remaining in the starter corps for many years, it would be impossible. It isn't. Therefore, while CCP may encourage members to gravitate towards player corps, they do not force them. That means that it is an accepted part of the game. I repeat, the idea that your understanding of the game is more profound that someone who has remained in a player corps their entire time in Eve is laughable. *shrug*

*sigh* And again, by touting the idea that social interaction in a starter is limited to corpchat you demonstrates how limited your understanding actually is of what can go on within a starter corp. Sure, there are some restrictions on activity - I have never denied them - but it still allows much room for interaction and community and experimentation. Why is it so difficult to understand that some people can find satisfaction enough within those limitations? And still be making as valid a contribution to the game and its wider community as you?

I am a new player,since early Jan.
I am in an NPC corp,not because I don't see the appeal of PC corps,or because I am worried about being War deced, but because I have little interest in empire space based corporations.
Contrary to what the general consensus seems to be,not everyone that comes into a game like this is new to the genre as a whole. I know full well what a newbie corp is and I also know that 90% of guilds/corps in these games that promise things never deliver. That said,established corps who are recruiting,are not generally looking for new players,most have a level of SP required,some require previous experience with PVPing or what not. The corps that are not generally interested in these things are empire corps,who are there to play and have fun in safe space,which is totally fine,but that's not my interest in the game.
So for the time being I need to develop SP and focus my skills,and basically muck around Empire doing missions and such and becoming familiar with combat and my ships.While PVP isn't my sole interest,the entire aspect of being in a player controlled environment like 0.0 is what appeals to me in this particular game, if I simply wanted to participate in NPC derived combat and such then there are much better alternatives out there than eve,should you not be to attached to the spaceship genre,which I am not.
You could put whatever penalty you want on NPC corps you wanted and I would simply drop the corp, no big deal. It isn't going to suddenly cause me to go looking for a player corp because I have no interest in becoming another body in the myriad upstart corps that become active on a daily basis only to lose it the next week, if I am going to join one it's because I am interested in being a part of it for long term play, and the majority of the ones out there in places like the recruitment channels and such,are decidedly not long term established corps,they are mostly other newbies who made corps who make all the common promises and dissolve a week later.
Give new players the opportunity to develop and learn in an existing Corp or a rookie corp designed to feed a large corp with trained recruits then I'm game,I'll even bet these exist , the communication from those to new players though is fractured to say the least. This sort of thing works in other games,guilds made of 70% + max level players often take in new players that they can mold to suit, EVE players seem overly concerned with a players SP and less concerned with how the player itself may develop. NPC corpations don't make these judgments.

Says who? They've wanted a supliment for local-chat for very long to but they haven't come around with a good way to fix it. That doesn't mean that they are satisfied with it. Not wanting something and not having done anything about it yet aren't the same thing. I hope you realize this.

And I do think that it is possible for NPCers to make as valid a contribution to the game and its wider community as me. I don't however think that they are playing the game on the same qriteria as the rest of us.

Cpt Fina
You made a list social interaction activities that were possible in a player corp. You then listed corp-chat as a social interaction in a starter corp. That was a clear implication that corpchat was the be all and end all of starter corp social interaction. If you did not intend that implication I am quite prepared to accept I misunderstood your position. Indeed, I am very glad if that is the case. But the implication was pretty plain, and I will contend that it was not a very useful way to state your position. 'Simple English' is often anything but simple.
All that being said it appears that we are indeed talking at cross-purposes. It happens.
Finally, no I am not flaming or ranting. I am a little tired of a certain mindset of certain players - in and out of game (and on both sides of the starter corp and pvp/pve divides) that seems to say that just because they play in a certain fashion that method of play is somehow superior to others. Some of what you were saying seemed to be on the same bandwagon. As I say, if I am erroneous in that I am delighted.

The bottom line regarding all this bs is, a lot of players wish their game enhanced at the expense of others and they try to rationalize the hell out of it.
Comes from both sides, whether hardcore bears or hardcore pvp on almost any subject.

A =! The -Meaning the possibility of one or many other aspects
You took this sentence and interpeted in your own satisfying way and on that interpetation (which indeed was faulty) you blamed me to have limited understanding about it.
Still, you continue to blame me for this when it is quite obvious that it is your obvious inability to comprehend simple english or/and your appearant overwhelning need to jump to conclusions that made you make this misstake.
Now, are you going to continue accusing me of claiming things I haven't claimed?

Given the context that I wrote said response the implication was not "pretty plain".
Initial argument: Alot of players reside in player-corps because of social aspects.
You: "it still reads to me that your implication is that starter corps lack the social interaction that player corps have"
My response: List of some social aspects not available or rare in NPC-corps Aswell as an (not the, an) aspect seen in both.

I do that certain playstyles are superior, given a context, to others. I don't simply believe that one playstyle is flat out better than another but given a goal or a vision, then yes.

I agree, to be honest. The best way to convince players to leave NPC corps is to make being in a player corp FUN for them. For some players, it just isn't, and I totally understand why it isn't. I was in the same boat a while ago, but now that I've gotten a taste of PvP and 0.0 life, I don't want to go back. ---

Nonsense. You simply create a 1 man corp with 5 minutes of training, anchor the pos with your 9.9 standings from grinding missions all day, and then use a placeholder alt to hold the corp.
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Too bad your logic is only limited to justifying your own selfish point of view.
Forcing players out of NPC corps would simply create a bunch of 1 man corps who would bail at the first wardec. The end.

Take things one step at a time
first the corps
then the wardec changes
players will quit
forums will go down
butts will be hurt

Yes, one thing at a time. List of things that CCP needs to do in order of importance:
1. Fix the goddamned bugs 2. Improve the UI 3. Reduce lag 4. Fix the broken sound engine ... ... 326. Do something about the couple hundred people who don't want to leave NPC corps

if fixing the bugs was always #1 then nothing would never get done.
