By the way, OP, if you think this is an exploit, then you will definitely go raging mad once you hear that your corp got robbed of all of it's assets and ISK while CCP does nothing but congratulate the thieves.

You look like a very intelligent player. That said, you probably already realize that even your closest Eve pals can become traitors overnight. It's all part of the meta game of building trust and then exploiting that trust. Take this as an example:

Once Upon A Time...

There was a massive alliance during the early years of Eve Online called Band of Brothers. They controlled so much of the economy and chunks of null sec that they had practically a monopoly on things. One day a director who was within the innermost circle of trusted members and who has powerful connections and access to key roles became disgruntled. He got in touch with an alliance known as Goonswarm Federation (a fledgling alliance at the time) who were already building up one of the most elaborate spy networks in New Eden history. Later on, when the time was ripe, that director took most of the ISK, Assets, and even went so far as to literally disband the entire Band of Brothers alliance within a single day. Territories became opened to the enemies of BoB and the CEOs and remaining directors were scrambling to do damage control (too little too late).

The event made such an uproar that players demanded CCP to undo such treachery and that no one player should have that much power. But CCP responded by saying "Sorry, no rules were broken. It stays as is."

Think about it. One man who was among the most trusted in all of New Eden's most powerful alliance became a spy and traitor overnight. If that can happen to such a powerful group, it will happen to your corp one day.

I'm looking forward to all the spying / deep game mechanics and what not, it is that aspect of game play that places the New Eden universe atop the pinnacle of gaming experiences, imho.

At the moment, I keep reading about how EVE players are planning how to capitalize on Dust's assimilation into EVE.

I am hoping that somewhere along the way, us Dust bunnies turn the tables, one economy to rule them all, right? :)

You can topple a line of dominoes from either end...

There will always be those to whom the concept of vigilante justice is offensive. They will demand that the police apprehend the dangerous "criminals" because they are easy to hate.

But think hard, sir, before you advocate their destruction. It's the vigilantes, not the police, that stand between you and an endless tide of AFK farmers and other red-line cowards.
