that would be nice, i remember many wars in hs fondly, even made freinds and recruits from wardecks back in like 2010/2012.
Obviously needs to be fleshed out more if they were to actually use something similar to what you posted in What we need is more tools not a wardec mini-game. A proposal for the expansion of the contract system - #27 by Max_Deveron but i get the idea and its not all that far off from what i was thinking myself tbvh.
Naaaahh cant see that happenin… o wait…
Dammit.
AS for the rest of it (everyone else) i really am not so interested in protecting high sp players who can literally go do one; there are few exceptions to this rule - i guess maybe getting older has changed my view a little.
But my main conerns is that new player retention is hurt by the mechanics
and that yes, the wardeck mechanic or those that use it or what it has become is severely uninteresting. Its like everytime im wardecked i go take a look around highsec and see no one and when i do they wont make a move til neutral logi is in place - and yes, its easy to spot that scythe or augorer sitting on a gate next door and yes its easy to link it to the wardeckers and yes when im decked i do literally go watch how the wardeck corp plays for a day or two on a cov ops alt… just not every wardeck; i ignore ones from pirat for example, not gonna go scout them every time, its pointless…
