Also there will be a cool down timer to prevent toons from bouncing in and out of corps to avoid the mechanic.
since when?
OK thats just full of crap…
i have an alt in an NPC corp and just now i set my safety to red…

CCP had to remove docking access to gankers own citadels because players were unable and unwilling to fight them. Your proposal doesn’t affect gankers at all, but creates a loophole that can be abused by gankers to make any corp that allows their alt to join to be wardeccable.
Yeah…bring that back ! If people don’t have the means to defend a station then they shouldn’t be setting one up in the first place. Why should sitting a stationary 2bn ISK station in space be any different to placing a stationary 2bn ISK Vargur in space and leaving it there ?
It is CCP catering to every whiny carebear in the game that will ultimately ruin it.

You have this wrong.
That is the case now, you have to have a structure to be war-decced, previously any corp (except NPC corps) could be wardecced, structure or no.
This resulted in some greifing.
Except players cant defend or put up stations. Never could
But what keeps someone from ganking in one corp and using a different toon to mine?
The real fix would be giving killrights to all toons of the aggresssor. Get smacked by one guy with 21 toons and 7 accounts? Get 21 killrights.
How to enforce this would be… beyond me. If the alts are plexed it’s not like you can track it down by subscription payment.
Why not give 500 free killrights to every miner?

The only reason not to is that I don’t think anyone has that many toons.
Why is it a problem in the first place ? What people do in other chars is none of your business. People can choose to let others know of other chars and associations, as I do with some of my chars, but the underlying theme of EVE is that chars are distinct persons living their own EVE life and can be as independent from each other as people choose.
Your silly idea violates that principle. You are manufacturing a ‘problem’ that exists only in your own mind.

I have 18 chars. In some cases people know several chars are me…as I tell them. But I also have chars that nobody has the feintest idea are me. That is not a design flaw…it is how to play EVE !
I think the fairest thing would be, when the Safety is placed on yellow or red, the driver in high-speed mode would automatically become suspect for everyone, unable to dock at any station and unable to jump the gate.
You need to jump the gate so you can hunt miners.

That would indeed be “fairest” because that would eliminate 99% of ganking. Well done!
Unfortunately the rest of your post would indicate that you don’t.
I’m just gonna make a crazy suggestion here…bring back unlimited wardecs against player corporations.
Yes, a bunch of people will hate it and it’ll probably cause a boatload of other problems, but the ganking issue will be resolved because aggressors can just declare war on people instead! 
In all seriousness, I realize that’s got a snowball’s chance in hell of actually happening, but at the very least I’d prefer it if the devs would gradually start making the game more dangerous again.

20 Alts Highsec Miners is more parasitic than 20 Alts Highsec Gankers.

Indeed, and that’s why I’d also support adding a minigame to mining like what was suggested in this thread. Not only would it make mining less mind-numbingly dull, it’d also decrease the effectiveness of multiboxing mining ships and make them easier to ambush, since the player would have to focus on the minigame as well as their D-scan.
Of course that still leaves the issue of the various established null blocs being able to sustain losses newer players and corporations can’t thanks to the massive resource stockpiles they’ve built up over the last ~ten years by the various null blocs. I don’t know how to solve that problem short of CCP outright deleting all stockpiled minerals in the game, which they’re never going to do because it would cause innumerable players to ragequit, and if they did it anyway the folks out in null still have more than enough high-end mining ships and PI setups to restock faster than anyone else can match.
I don’t see any simple solution to this, and whatever solutions the devs decide on will have to be done slowly lest it kill the game.
I think there is only one clear way to fix this issue and that’s to allow gankers to gank freely without consequence in high sec. If you want to mine you need to claim your turf and throw hands.
