That's silly.
Not only it penalizes normal players with an abusive tax, but also has no effect on macro corps which you obviously haven't heard about. Those that set corp tax to 100% (presumably so that nobody steals money from the boss), and vanish instantaneously after being decced.
quite alot of PC corps have 10%-15% tax rate and as you are working for the NPC corp it would make sense if they got some of your money.

My point here was to provide a motivation for pilots to leave NPC corps and join player corps. Atleast in a Player corp (Providing its atleast concerned for its pilots) that tax atleast means something in terms or returns.

2) Standing towards NPC corps / faction should be positively affected by making sales at their stations, and negatively affected with by sales with their competitors PROVIDED you are in a player corp.
If you want standings grind for them. And that's for another topic.
As far as I know the only way to get standing with a NPC corp is missioning / rating - miners and traders have little options.

Won't change a thing, aside from screwing over legitimate players and forcing those that don't want to deal with corp politics into a solitary lifestyle in their own 1-man corps, effectively ruining the game for them.
Farmers will use the very same mechanics they have been using to avoid wardecs, because corp hopping is not against the rules and they do it all the time already.
Putting (more) restrictions on trial accounts is pointless as well, because macros don't use trial accounts anymore. They just pay for their accounts with CCP sanctioned GTCs using the billions of ISK they farm daily.
In short: bad idea. It's just not gonna happen.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

What for?
You could also say that your player corp tax gives them more value that the isks they pay in tax (due to economies of scale, shared facilites or whatever), and that by not paying taxes (and being in a noob corp) they are profiting less.

Originally by: Tawrich Tistrya while in an npc corp you still have a corp chat right? why would being in an npc corp be less social then being in a corp led by another player , the only real dif in social interaction i see is lack of a real corp leader
Exactly. I'm still in my NPC corp precisely because I enjoy a good socialise with a lot of experienced alts and the new players as well. I found a lot out about the more complex parts of EVE this way. When I find a corp that matches what I want to do, I may consider joining it, but the social interaction is hard to beat. ___ "If you can't debate using logic & fact, and at least recognise other people's point of view, don't waste time posting on forums.

There's a big problem with macro miners in this game. Not only does CCP have a problem keeping up with the bannings, but we can't even wardec them.
Sure this will effect some non-macro miners too, but TBH you hisec risk-adverse noobcorp pussies should die too.
It's time to put the hammer down.
and what would class as a "noobcorp" and how would it graduate to a "non-nobcorp" and what if an older member of EVE wanted to form his own corp and found out he couldnt use his own battleship. and what about grifers from a "non-noobcorp" war deccing on said corp when all the defending noobcorp can do is attempt to swarm some HAC's and command ships in frigs ..... you didnt think this out at all

macro miners are using exhumers so they have fully paid accounts. They also could just make a corp of their own. 1mil each person. If that were happening.
Absolutely stupid idea.

Ok I didn't figure that. It shouldn't be hard to simply make exhumers not allowed for newb-corps.

I agree that players in noob corps should have restrictions. Certain skills should not work past X level and certain ships should not be able to flown, say, because the 'educational license' granted to all the starter schools doesnt provide for say, accidents resulting from improperly trained pod pilots, etc, while any player corp pilot could use the skills and ships without limitation.
My proposed limits: No Freighter piloting No Capital ships No tech 2 industrials No trade skills past wholesale 4 Mission taxrate of 20% starting 60 days after character creation. Broker fee and sales tax escalation beginning 90 days after character creation.
Further, after leaving the NPC corp, you should not be allowed back into one. To do this, make every character have corporation management trained to one by default, and if you quit your PC corp (or get kicked) without joining another, you automatically create a corp named after yourself instead of joining say, deep core mining, or the scope. to remedy some of the problems that could occur here, waive the fee for character creation for automatically created corps and limit the corp to one member, but allow the character in it to pay the regular corp creation fee to get a real name, real ticker, and all the normal corp management options if they so wish.
And yes....I realize the Ironoy of posting this stuff on an NPC forum warrior alt...but my main has long since left the NPC corps behind.

Aside from ease of sharing assets, there are really no benefits to their profession (macros, farmers) for being in a player corp so there is really no need for most to bother. The ones that do, simply leave the corp when wardecced. Only legitimate players dare to put up a fight.
If they were automatically kicked into a wardeccable corp... well, it only takes a few minutes to train corp management to level 1. You can figure out the rest from there.

This idea appears to me as well thought out as the starve people to stave off hunger campaign arraigned by the ghouls in my head.
Also, the idea of every Empire corp being a "highsec-risk-adverse-noob-corp *****" is neither true, nor accurate. There are many people in Empire who are there to fuel their PVP in low/null sec. Next time, it would be advisable for you to put some thought into your posts, it could only help.

Originally by: Samantha Watanabe A series of restrictions on NPC corps
Why? This is the bit no-one for this idea has explained; why force people into player corps? So far I've seen two possible explanations, both selfish and testosterone-fueled.
The first is so you can wardec real players - well frankly if people don't want to be wardecced they can change corp, and if they are industrialists, they won't have the combat skills to defend themselves immediately, so you're just being selfish and wanting more targets that can't shoot back. This is not a legitimate reason.
The second is wardeccing macroers - again, they can jump ship, it makes no odds. This has no effect on macroers.
Forcing people into a player corp where they're there for the skills not the other people just promotes anti-social behaviour, lack of loyalty to the player corp, and is a wholesale bad idea. It is not a fix for exploits. Indeed this game is freeform for a reason, and shouldn't force anyone to do anything. |

Then your point fails because macro farmers operate without roles so the second the wardec hits they hit the leave corp button and proceed to join fhsdgsdfjksdgfs B. You dec that one, hey leave for C. You dec that one they leave for D. And that point you are screwed because you can't have A, B, C and D deced so they'll hop around depending on the dec flavour of the day.

And the same way I say getting people out of npc corps doesn't do a lot wardec wise given the brokenness of the system, I say that people staying in the noob corp to be "safe" flying their freighter are abusing the system. I'm sure they'll get suicided somewhere along the line tho.

NO.
Trial accounts = 0 cost
NPC corp = can be trial (and has its limitations) or a paid account, and then no limitations on what he can fly. |

And then fhsdgsdfjksdgfs plot 1 go to kjkjkjkjkj, pilot 2 to klklklklk and pilot 3 to l=l=l=l=l.
Next wardec they go to asasasas, sdsdsdsd and dfdfdfdfdfd.
They never get any corp role so they can swithsch as soon as wardecced and they can open as much cor as they want, they only need to leave a alt training to be an hulk pilot in each old corp and return to the corp with otherr characters when it is no more wardecced.
As they aren't reforming the same corp but moving to a different corp with each different character they are never exploiting so they can't be petitioned. |

"Safe" from what ? From a wardec ? Well, guess what, wardecs were created to allow for corps to deal with each other, not for players to shoot others in highsec just cause those said others look "rich".
And it's perfectly intended that you can't wardec someone who manages to get by without the need of a corp (or any of corp's benefits).
That's the whole point of highsec - you can't "just shoot" people here, not even if you are willing to wait a couple of days. Same way as in 0.0 you have to deal with being a fair game for everyone, in highsec you deal with inability to shoot some people without concord gettting in your way.

There are various "intended game mechanics" which are arguably flawed.
My buddy and I decced a chinese mission farming corp and after a day they all left their corp. To this day they are still in a noobcorp running missions and no doubt selling isk.
Here we were doing legitimate Eve players a service, but due to CCP's "intended game mechanics" the isk farmers are protected. They just can't use their remote repping Armageddons anymore. ----------------------------------- You're not a pirate unless your -10 |

If they are selling isk, CCP will ban them. RMT is not something players should deal with in character. (Makes me wonder how is that your know they sell isk. I mean, if you have proofs, petition -> banzor on them.)
Aside from possible RMT, mission running is perfectly legal, I see no reason why someone doing missions for the "goverment" should be wardecable by default.

You fail big time. |
