I think EVE's militia's should be viewed in that light.<br />And there's no reason why different minmatar para-military groups should like each other, the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend after all.<br /><br />And I think it would be bad for EVE if CCP forces corporations to work together just because they declared support for the same empire.<br />Don't take this the wrong way but some of us don't give a damn about roleplay (or even the background story) and might still want to be in the militia for some reason like you know; exploding space ships. And not want to have to deal with other militia organizations at all (chat is easily ignored).<br /><br />In the hypothetical case that say BRRC were to join the minmater militia we'd do so for the extra targets and the ability to engage on gates and making some ISK maybe, Not because we actually care deeply about furthering the minmater cause or god forbid capturing space. <br />And as an almost 100 man corp we'd frankly not really 'need' the other militia corps to fleet with, we likely would if an opportunity for good pewpew presents itself though, but *forced participation* would be almost certainly be a deal breaker we'd never join at all (I think).<br /><br />Not being being allowed to shoot -EM- (if alliances would be allowed to join) the thought gives me shivers :PKaeda Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954843678698092456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-88501310974924093712011-11-22T09:07:47.983-08:002011-11-22T09:07:47.983-08:00I agree that being able to wardec other faction wa...I agree that being able to wardec other faction war corporations is very weird and doesn’t really go with the role-playing aspects of Faction War. Due to the ‘open’ nature of militia, corporations still need a means to defend themselves against other ‘rogue’ militia corporations. However, there are probably ways to do with without allowing outright wardecs.Susan Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283038126491111382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-60761637575330844042011-11-22T07:29:46.199-08:002011-11-22T07:29:46.199-08:00Hmmm.

Should the wardec mechanic be changed to prevent this? After all, why would any faction run a militia in which the member corporations haven't agreed to put aside their disputes with one another while fighting for the common good?Mord Fiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734756410122516725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-70826682450816481412011-11-22T06:11:12.186-08:002011-11-22T06:11:12.186-08:00Agreed.
