CSP is, again, a member of EoN., so original post is  to begin with.
This is going to be ranty, and a lot of people are going to completely disagree, but ... no, I do not support. I'm not a guy that would get called in to ring anyway, but just on principle... it's bullshit. Stomp the living **** out of them until they stop attacking or come back with improved tactics and forces. If *that* makes them quit the game, then it's them or the game that needs to be fixed, not some community vet agreement.
A bit tangential to the topic...
I mean I barely support the community's babysitting of smaller corps. In New Eden they're called "renters" and they should be paying 20% of their income for ... protection, or grow a pair and l2play. No one "deserves" districts... seriously.
OP's post is just one more part of the welfare state mentality around here which is based on a deep-seated fear "OMG, this game might die, how can we save it?" which is honestly something the devs should be concerned with. We should be concerned with playing the game. I'm just the guy who pew pews and bitches on the forums. But I've said before the community viewpoint on "making ISK = baaaad... farmville! farmville!" is... weird... and reflects a pure FPSer viewpoint. Things like PFC are an effort to turn it into a lobby shooter and dilutes the "OMG Kewl long-term warfare!" aspects that I think a lot of people are drawn to.
All of these noob-friendly PC initiatives by the community, while admirable and well-intentioned and supported by most vets, are an artificial prop ineffectually holding up the hopes and dreams of, and having a marginally positive effect on, **a few hundred** younger players that happen to be in these 'small corps'.
I think full blown ruthless Machiavellian **** (i.e. WIN) is the only thing that might result in additional changes in mechanics and cause CCP Foxfour to say "wow... what is broken? how can we fix it?" which is the only thing that is going to open PC up to a broader audience. Ironically, I think he should be saying the same damn thing NOW: "Why don't people want to conquer more stuff? How can we fix that?"
Instant battles are for random good fights, and the missing mechanic of 16-man team FW/Instant-Battle queuing is the true issue that is causing the community to compensate in the search for gud fites. Conquest is the name of the game in PC, and the ironically broken part is that no one actually wants to conquer anything, NOT that noobs get stomped. Fixing the "PC entry point for Noobs" is something that CCP needs to fix (6-man district campaigns anyone?), not the community. But I guess... noble effort.
But once such a team-queue instant battle system is in place, why be afraid of conquering the entire map? Cuz lol-bad name? Cuz lol-overlapping timers? Build an empire, be aggressive, **** the carebear ****. The problem is there is currently no game mechanic that rewards attacking over not attacking... I don't know... the lack of aggressive ghengis khan types in a game about conquest just meme:grindsmygears I guess.

how does this help the smaller corps wanting to gain a foothold in PC?
sorry for singling you guys out but it seems to be you that are mainly posting 'no' to this. Yes you gave them the land but let them fight for it on their own, hopefully the larger alliances will leave them alone. To those who advise against the larger alliances participating in smaller corporation battles you have my gratitude.
personally i think its a good idea, let the smaller corps fight it out on their own, it will help them grow and will get more corporations participating in PC.
For my part of that, don't get my post wrong, I'm just a grunt bro and speak for neither Red Star. or Eon.; I do what I'm told by corp/alliance leadership as far as their policies go and I don't think EoN. leadership could possibly do anything more to support small corps known in the past... CRONOS troll is fail. |

As a member of a true mercenary corp that has been given props in the past for being a true mercenary corp, you feel it is inappropriate to ask for compensation when asked to AWOX a fight?

Why can't he awox just for giggles? We only had 12 guys to their 16, who most likely have more PC experience than us. We did not know which map we were playing on but now we do so will be prepared for the next time. Still I was joking with him, I even put "j/k" at the end of the message. Don't need a crutch like they did with cal logi and flaylock 
Why can't you pay him to provide a service? It's merc work bro. It's a harsh world out there. Welcome to... etc. etc.
Giggles. GIGGLES he says. 
hehe don't care, just trollin  |
