Suggested fix that is already implemented:

1. stop pvp'ing in empire
2. stop playing station games
3. ??????????????????????????
4. profit!

No need for additional fixes.

Not supported.

You obviously don't understand how this really works. Empire or not has little to do with it.

The whole point of being Neutral is saying "I dont want to be involved." Becoming involved invalidates neutrality. Supported. In fact why not go as far as saying that any neutral getting involved in a PvP battle (at least one involving 2 warring parties in Empire) automatically puts the corp into the war, and the necessary war dec/concord messages/fees are automatically sent and the corp goes to war 24 hours later.

So if [for example] I'm a member of Really Big Alliance., and some pissant corp ticks me off, and I see his corp is at war (or I just have an alt corp dec his), I can get a free dec against him by simply RR'ing one of his targets?

Aggression timers should be increased to 2 minutes (at least). I dislike neut RR, but its something everyone uses (or would if they had it available), even if they swear on bible/koran/torah/baghavad gita/pasta they wouldn't.

I like the way neutral RR works now, so no support here, yet.

Having experienced this first hand, I know how broken it is. Remote repping should be classed as aggro for the purposes of the dock and jump timer when the target of the rep is engaged.

personally i think this is too soft. If you remote rep an enemy under attack, or apply any gang modules to an enemy who's under attack then that enemy should have killrights on you for 7 days. If you get involved in the war you have to be involved imo otherwise wtf is the Yulai convention for?

...You do realize this will continue the killing of small-gang warfare, no? PVP shouldn't always be about who has the bigger blob, and hit and run tactics should be encouraged. PitBoss and supporters, if you want remote reppers to have no escape, then why not fight in a belt? Oh yeah- because then you can't deaggro and dock up if things get nasty :).

Personally, I actually enjoy it when people use RR- neutral or not, against me. Reason being, 90% of the time, they end up doing something stupid- they aggress in something I can kill even with RR, they leave themselves open to EWAR, or (my personal favorite) they leave their rep alts in harm's way.

This thread was started by The PitBoss, executor of empire's premier griefing alliance, Privateer Alliance. Privateers are good at one thing- griefing. I'm sorry, Pit- you talk a lot about neutral remote rep abuse- but when was the last time you fought outnumbered (including all participating ships, RR or otherwise) against someone who actually had a fathom of experience in PVP? I'm sorry if you missed out on a couple mining barge kills because their buddies were generous enough to help them get out of Jita. And I'm sorry if you've lost a few ships to Wildly Inappropriate because your 'PVP' alliance is too disorganized and divided to learn to work as a team.

The current game mechanic supports teamwork (between corp mates, alliance mates, and just friends you meet in the game), guerrilla warfare (you can hit and run when heavily outnumbered, and force your opponent to adopt a different PVP strategy than just the bigger blob wins), and the element of surprise and danger that Eve is known for.

Pit, why not just bring anti-RR support? It ain't that hard. Let's consider the circumstances that recently took place- Privs decced WI- about 5 members of WI were interested in fighting, and between us, we had maybe 5 more friends/alts who'd help out as needed. That's 10 total versus an alliance of 200+, and you were still unwilling to fight because you couldn't work together to come up with an adequate counter to our strategies. Would it make a difference if all 10 of us were in alliance? Why don't you just bring 10 DPS ships and 190 remote rep ships? Find your own counters to remote rep. We have :)

tl;dr: Quit whining and find counters to it- there are plenty.

This is the EXACT reason why I brought up this ISSUE ...

Stop hiding behind the facade that its going to kill small gangs ... If you the had skills you wouldn't need to rely on 5 alt accounts

---

As usual, taken out of context- and still not particularly relevant. What exactly is wrong with me helping out friends who are getting station camped by a priv blob? If you guys can't deal with some RR, find someone else to camp.

Edit: Not to mention- how the hell does bringing RR to make a 2 on 20 a 5 on 20 classify as 'cheap'? I'd say picking on carebears who don't know jack about PVP is a bit more 'cheap' than surprising griefers by winning a fight in which EVEN WITH remote rep, we are heavily outnumbered.
