was recently decced by Phoenix Naval, and they made themselves not war eligible the very same minute, no way of countering this. please fix ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/0/5/059c2a24fb7ed70bcc317a35a83147eba3919e06.png) ---

What’s the results of this look like? - Phoenix Naval Systems decalres war - Structures corp leaves alliance, making the attacker war ineligible At this point doesn’t the war cancel after a 24 hour cooldown? ---

Correct. But they did it about 12hours before final timer. So they came and destroyed our structure unopposed. They pulled similar stunt at armor timer. No way to get help against them ---

Ah gotcha so using the 24 cool down as a window to attack a structure without assistance. Pay 2x the wardec fee to attack the station unopposed. Clever. Eve players never cease to amaze me in their ability to manipulate rules. Easily fixable by placing a 24h “warm up” on WarDecs. During this period attackers can’t recruit or remove corporations and defenders can rally support. ---

@CCP_Habakuk would this be an exploit that needs fixing on the War Dec Mechanics? ---

Yeah. Kudos. It just makes the war assist mechanics useless. ---
