SO....

You left the Imps....?

Screen your recruits properly; problem solved.

Isn't there a fix in the pipe for this?
In the mean time most corps have set up holding corps.
An imperfect solution but certainly effective.

You don't, there's still FW (where FF is disabled, even though it shouldn't be), and there's still instant action (honestly, where I've run into my stiffest opposition; FF is disabled here too). There's not even a difference in the points or money you earn, except for the more META benefits of PC.

The fact is, EVE is not a nice place. If you don't want to be shot in the back, stop recruiting ******* randoms out of local. Play a few matches with people before asking if they want to apply. Be suspicious of anyone that applies without having played with you a bunch, especially if you haven't asked them if they want to apply.

There are so many SIMPLE things you can do while STILL enjoying the game, that helps screen against these people. Even if you turn FF off in corp matches, what's to stop them from infiltrating and just sitting there, wasting slots while the other side wipes the floor with you?

Quite simply, there's no way at all to prevent AWOXing of one kind or another, other than mitigating the risk by proper screening of recruits.

Perhaps you missed the memo... DUST is within the EVE universe... you don't get decide how much of EVE CCP is going to bring to DUST.

I guarantee you it won't be zero.

P.S. Length of time in or imaginary legendary status from a bygone era does not confer immunity from anything.

Just as soon as early arrivals stop sounding like pompous asses. You own nothing. You are owed nothing. You are nothing. Just like everyone else.

I think ringers should be able to be kicked at any time, at least.

And how would you propose doing that? Come up with a system in which no one can shoot a friendly, deliberately waste a slot, or repeatedly kill themselves to help the enemy team.

For that matter, it would be a trivial matter to just follow along with the unit and appear to follow orders, while intentionally not killing anything (or only doing so when it won't hurt the other side.)

I'd love to hear your suggestions, short of a kick button (inappropriate; you brought them along, you're stuck with them and the fact that they decided to fight for the other guy instead of you is now your problem to deal with). But really, there's nothing you can do to stop it, so do what you CAN to stop it: screen people like you should be doing in ANY game, regardless of the consequences; I dunno about you, but I'm not fond of playing with annoying assholes.

That's not a fix for the issue, though, that's a fix for the symptom. The issue is grouping up with any random.

Now others here have mentioned that people can invite non-corpies into the PC matches? That I would say is an issue, given the limited size of matches at the moment. I'd be fine with a kick button that would only work on players not in the attacking/defending corp in a PC match. But if you accepted a spai or traitor into your corp and then brought them into the match, you should be stuck with them; no one held a gun to your head and made you accept their application to join.

The solution is childishly simple.

Create a squad leader role for PC that allows one to join a PC match with a squad.
Allow that leader to remove someone from his squad.

You keep your meta-game as an infiltrator could attain the rank of squad leader.
You eliminate huge gaping security crater of allowing anybody in the corp to join and invite any of his friends along.

It's done in business today to protect assets far less valuable than planetary districts.

Access to the server room is granted to select people who can then bring others into the room as required. No business just leaves the door wide open for any member of the corporation to wander in with his friends. If someone violates security the business can electronically remove that person's security access.

Considering that shooting the enemy is also metagaming. I don't see why it should STOP on the ground, its what you're getting paid to kill.

It needs a role fix, then the players can use that role to control access to PC.

As it stands you would need to apply director level standards and interviews to every single recruit and that's asinine.

It's like making CCP hand out the root password to Tranquility to every single employee they hire and telling them to just "be careful" when hiring. It's completely inadequate.
