Corporation wars

[Echo 7-7]

The only problem with this is that your corporate "only" system where fighting is taking place will inevitably fall into the ZOI of at least one pirate group, and if it is lucrative enough to be mining there to begin with, you will have the inevitable pirate swarms heading in there as well. Even if you can come to agreements with the other side for the purposes of RP, you'll still end up with certain groups and players (like the Hellfire Legion and various indies) gatecrashing your roleplay for their little blue PvP messages.

It can still be done of course, and I like the idea, but there's no way you're going to ever be able to keep it strictly a corporate fighting affair, you'll always have pirates involved. If its out in the borderworlds though, at least you won't have house militaries involved (although you may eventually wish they were).

I didn't specify actual mining sites. I just suggested things of value which a corporation has the ability to exploit, which a pirate group would not. Bear in mind that this discussion originated on a conceptual level, yet people are jumping to the execution stage. I believe the purpose of this thread was simply to gauge a reaction to the concept, not decide upon means of execution, and so far I am pleased by the positive response.


PS. In case it's not obvious the HF has no interest in corporate affairs and in fact protects Libertonian shippers against pirates (except for Xenos activities to which a blind eye is turned). A corp-on-corp fight is not something the Legion would get involved with.


Edit: @Chase.
While additions like that are starting points for what we're trying to achieve, it's not quite the same as carte blanche to kill anyone who tries to take over your claim in a certain system.
