When i was reading the zoner - corsair thread i think of a possible solution. I thought of posting this thing there but dont think it can be seen by everyone as that thread is a huge mess.
I belive raiding is not that much problem. The only problem is raiding with cap ships. Trust me, i dont like to see 4-5 hessain bs with 3-4 BHG cap and some other raiding in gamma. Home system should be safer. And yes im taking about all the home system. What i post here is not about corsair but for everyone.
So the possible solution will be reuse the guard id with some features.
1) A Capital ship bs/cruiser must use guard id.
2) Player with guard id cant dock any other than thier own base or allied base.
3) Player with guard id cant go to CORE systems as Home system and guard systems other than thier own(NY,NL,NB,NT,Alpha,Gamma,Mu).
+ some if you think to be added feel free
I think this will reduce the problem significantly. Pls do share what you think and no crticism from anyone.
This is not to increase your post count so stay out if you dont have any good thoughts.
This is a very interesting idea. Restricting BS's and or other Capitals to what bases they can dock at would make things VERY interesting, specially if they where totally restricted to only using their own faction's bases.
It also makes a good deal of sense as well. Most marinas and shipyards in RL could not accommodate a single BS or Carrier let alone a half dozen. It would be stretching logistics to take care of a single Cruiser.
Edit: I agree with you on the thing that gamma raids are not getting fun at all. Sails decided not to " defend" anymore... Since the people who are raiding daily and ganking heavily does not mean fun to them in anyway ( meaning the defenders) Same with other houses too.. As GRN| we don't go to NL unless ordered by HC and never with caps ( we try to and we are successful so far). People need to know to have fun and at the same time let others have too... Usually people are selfish and don't care about others.. Its the people who need to change on this.... Not the rules... Why would anyone need a Guard ID? They still follow the same procedures as the normal one... Thats one of the reasons it was removed and normal Ids are used.... If you want to show you are very good with that faction Use the IFF. Its more than enough and that will be it from me:)
' Wrote:I dont think I will go all the way to Ild-De-France to dock sorry. Its really not bright to suggest SYs.
Neil, i request you read my post again. I never suggested that a player with guard id can dock on thier base and allied ones.
So GRN caps have plenty of bases near NL.
House core is the region to be safer.
You take 10 bs , roam in theta. We take 10 bs go fight you .. Its fine. But you come out of your home planet and see 10 bs there is not good.
Restricting guard id to enter others homworld will be good for everyone.
Player can pick the fight then.. Not forced to fight.
