Like my glorious leader previously said, the only problem is that greyscale indicated that you will lose sec status for destroying ships while flagged as a suspect. So a suspect defending himself from attack will lose sec status, which would pretty much end all highsec PVP that isn't wars or suicide ganking which is probably not the desired effect.
It might have just been a miscommunication and CCP Greyscale may have meant that destroying a ship that is not attacking you while flagged as a suspect causes a sec status drop, which would be much more reasonable. |

All of the above seems fine...right? The twist on this; at least as far as I've been led to believe is that
- Killing somebody, while you are a 'suspect' incurs a sec status hit (even if they shoot at you first) up to -5
- Killing somebody, who is +5, while you are a 'suspect' incurs a sec status hit up to -10
Yes this is the part that really looks like they're pushing High Sec PvPers out of High Sec. Which would be fine if they also pushed lucrative PvE out of High Sec as well, but no sign of that happening yet. I'm still waiting for the complete story before final judgement, we haven't seen the Wardec changes yet.
The thing is you can't push people out of highsec, PVPers or otherwise. If you make it prohibitively difficult to engage in PVP in highsec the people whose entire playstyle is built around killing things in highsec will just quit and go and play another game. At that point the nullsec people who constantly advocate for changes that would make highsec PVP more difficult now, will whine that highsec is too safe and that no PVP happens there. |

Now all I have to do is canflip my alt and I suddenly am flagged to everyone in EVE.
That is ******* amazing. The number of fights a high-sec PvPer can get all over high-sec now is amazing.
Except that even if someone shoots you, you won't be able to shoot them back without going GCC. |

I like it how people whine about station games and then advocate for mechanics that would basically force all non-war highsec PVP to occur on stations. |
