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.

Let me guess- you were redline sniping, and someone purposely teamkilled you for being useless.
Or someone stole your sweetroll.

oh god, here we go

Welcome to new eden.

Adapt or die.

Can i haz your stuff ?

So how can you Team Kill now?

Grenades and Vehicular Homicide use to work, but they were fixed.

I used to team kill, until I took a LAV in the....Oh sorry.

I saw that coming from a mile away but managed to restrain myself from using it.

So untrue, in order to get robbed your corp has to grant access to the thief, a poor choice can result in a poor outcome. Having an EVE toon that is a CEO of a corp as well as a leader of a small Alliance I fully know the player choices you make have consequences, CCP put the AWOXer on my team not me, big big difference.

Never been robbed because I have a choice as to who has access to corp stuff, welcome to New Eden where your actions should have both results and consequences .... think they call it the "Butterfly Effect".

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 could not restrain myself, your post put it in my mind as soon as I saw it.

I don't blame you, I was half way through writing the same thing you did when i thought to myself " I have more class than this" and I went for the inb4 instead.

Ya, I don't have more class. But in my defense I did look at your post and this thread in general 4 times at least before I broke down and posted it.

When that happens, and human nature indicates it is indeed when and not if, it will be because of a choice I made. I'll be pissed but such is the nature of EVE gameplay.

A simple fix like not allowing vehicular homicide blue on blue to occur for the first 2 minutes of initially entering a battle would solve this. Perhaps a "Retribution" like criminal timer should result after a blue on blue kill, right now no risk for the killers, if they become red to both sides I suspect their like for ganking will subside. Then they could have a taste of the blue sniper rifles they so despise.

As far as player choice is concerned, I check the team composition now and will not battle with II on my team, I also keep track of who the idiots are and don't team up with them once their actions have proven who they are.

A Kick or Forgive option after a TK resolves this. It also stays true to the lore as malfunctioning clones were disabled in Templar One. Autokick should be automatic after three friendly kills.

-100 SP is also a deterrent as is a hefty fine from CONCORD at the end of the game [10-50M ISK] a small portion of it going to reimburse the victim for lost gear. Turning off FF has done nothing, players will find a way to TK if they like. CCP has to implement consequences.

Being killed by your team mates during a battle is something that should not happen.

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...

I don't think he was talking about himself.

Perhaps.... that is what you think .... any chance you might be wrong? lol the insufferable arrogance of ego, always entertaining.
