The hard thing about tracking alts is that a lot of players have alts with a high amount of SP.
Option D is my favorite, missions though random have a few that are generally easy to complete. no reaons why you cant log in to play at least a few times a week if your hardcore enough to play PC.
Passive isk, or rewarding players for not playing has had terrible effects on Dust. This is why locking districts with alt corps or alliance corps is widespread, because its profitable.
We could havee penalties for a ttacking a district within the same alliance, attacking corp is kicked from the alliance as they have become traitors, as well as a massive penalty for no showing a match.
Loyalty ranks is not so good, stops new players from getting involved and is more tied to AUR than paytime.

Well, new players shouldn't "really" be jumping into PC. This guarantees that you are using your proper character, that in most cases has spent a few AUR on SP boosters. Very few players would bother creating alts, dumping aur into them to self attack districts, just to get ISK.
^^^true, yet on LR
is it on AUr spent or AUR boought?
Say i , as a regular Aur purchaser buy 5 boosters for my main character, AUr is spread between all three, so i could just in theory drop two on my alt and there ya go, Alt character with relevant Loyalty rank set for life.
Also, if its Corp average, nothing to stop very high LR ranking corp members tasked with locking distreicts from leading avereage or low LR players into battle.
Wthether people would spend Aur for Isk , cant say for sure, but PC corps have earned billions. Concerning the paperclip for isk scandal, i wouldn't put it past overly motivated players to do so.

Very few players would bother creating alts, dumping aur into them to self attack districts, just to get ISK. Corporation loyalty ranks earned via engaging in squad combat with corpmates. Make them independent of aurum. Make this a requirement for the Defenders as well. If a player ceases playing with their corp the ranks fall off. If they corp hop they start from zero again and have to get their corp status back up. Ringers should be hirable from people proven reliable to their own corp so you can invite friends and make alliance useful.
^^ this, you can manipulate player alts pretty easily, but a corp that has to built up over time, not so much. Instead of tying it to squad corpmates, because not everybody squads with their corp all the time, i would tie it to player activity and daily missions.
This way, we can tie in the requirements for keeping a individuals Warbarge maintained with the ideas Rattati sugested to avoid farming Warbarge bonuses, and have that tie into how much it can help or hinder your corp.
I imagine a Corp getting having to gather warbarges for an attack, and if the indivudal merc warbarges are not being kept up to scratch they wont be able to form up with the Corp. Players wont be able to launch an attaack with a corp full of alts if their alt warbarges are in neglect. Two birds, one stone.
