A pretty big topic around these parts and something a lot of people have different opinions on. To be clear we don't want to make this kind of gameplay impossible. However we want to give tools to corporations to help better manage these risks.
In the long term we want to build upon the roles system adding roles to restrict who can enter a battle, who can invite others to battles, and those types of things. That is going to take time but we feel something needs to be added sooner rather than later.
So in the short term we will be adding the ability for a corporation's CEO and directors to kick players on their team from the battle while in the warbarge. Once in the battle the kick option is no longer available.
I'm honestly somewhat disappointed with this response. It's a bandage to a larger issue that isn't being addressed: Dust Side Director Roles and Corporation Management. At the moment, from DUST side, they are so anemic that they might as well not be there at all. Instead, this seems to be an unnecessary nerf which will only really ignore the real issue that is the root cause of AWOXing. |

I don't have an issue with the AWOXing non-sense... I think it's a viable tactic that eventually will force corporations to own up to their mistakes and actively look at who they're recruiting rather than freely accepting everyone, which a lot of the bigger corporations do.
You should be focusing on implementing API keys instead of allowing directors/CEOs to up and kick someone from the battle
PREVENTION, not REACTION. The entire premise of New Eden being dangerous is that you only trust the people who are at arms length and that should never change. This is a good post. I support this product and/or service.
While you did mention it, CCP Nullarbor, it wasn't definitive which is where my disappointment with just 'kick' ing as a 'temporary' solution in the warbarge comes in. At the moment, it is already a minefield and requires immediate API release and Director and Corporation Management protections a la EvE Online as I played back in 'the day.'
To exemplify how much of a danger Dust Created Corps by Dust Characters are in danger because of this minefield and because of a lack of API and real delinted Director Roles here's an example.
Dust Merc 1 creates a corp within Dust using his Dust Character.
He is now CEO and can create Directors. However, you cannot create a Director without making them a Full Director from Dust.
There is no way in which a Dust Character CEO can claim the Shares of a Corporation from Dust; something only Full Directors can do. .
Dust Merc 1, invites Eve Player 2 to his Dust Created Corp and, because he doesn't have access to his corp through an EvE Character, is forced to make the EvE player a Full Director.
EvE Player 2 is now a Full Director and, because of how much more intuitive it is in EvE he is able to claim all the shares of a Corporation and, effectively steal it from the Dust CEO, seizing control. Just because Dust Side Corporation Management is anemic.
This is something that needs immediate attention. |
