IGÇÖd like to add a couple of my thought on the new war-dec system. My only experiences of war-decs are being in a corp that is decced, so forgive (yeah right, flame away) if I am ignorant of how the mechanics actually work.
IGÇÖd like to see consequences of starting a war. From what I understand, the aggressor starts a war and if they donGÇÖt like the way things are going, they can just let it lapse after the 7 days is up. What IGÇÖd like to see is the defender be given the option to keep the war going. I know that the defenders could just dec the aggressors back but if the defender is a 10-man corp and the aggressor is a 1,000-man corp, the cost would be over -+ a billion ISK.
So give the defenders the option to declare a war for free. Or for the same cost as it cost the aggressors (if less than the cost to start a war). Or even make the aggressors continue to pay.
So if you declare a war, be sure you can win it or it may bite you in the arse.
Allies of the defenders should be able to continue to help out the defenders (though they are now the aggressors) but should also be able to opt out or renegotiate their payment now the war has changed from one of defence to one of aggression.
I would also like to see a permanent agreement for a corp to have allies. You pay another corp a weekly or monthly fee and if you are war-decced, they automatically get drawn in to the war as your allies. This information should be available so that when you are thinking of war-deccing someone, you know who else you are starting a war with.
Obviously this will give merc groups a way to earn by offering protection to those corps who canGÇÖt defend themselves. The defenceless corps can protect themselves from decs as aggressors will see that they have allies ready and waiting.
ItGÇÖll also give high-sec war-dec corps ways of setting up protection rings. They start a war on a corp and as part of the surrender terms, they get their targets to accept (and pay) them as their protectors. So, as long as they pay, they donGÇÖt get decced by them and they get defended (possibly) if other entities dec them.
