defcon
The current IVY Defense Status tends to be permanently locked at Defcon 4. After awhile, the system loses any real meaning. This proposed reorganization is intended to make the Defon categories useful enough to be worth checking on a daily basis.
DEFCON 5 Peace
Keep an eye out for gankers, but there are no War Targets today.
DEFCON 4 At War: Decreasing Danger
We are still at War, but one or more enemies have recently dropped out. Please check the Alliance chat and update your information.
DEFCON 3 Normal War Ongoing
One or more wars from small groups are in progress. Significant hostile actions are unlikely, however you can be fired upon anywhere in space; so please be cautious, especially around HQ and trade hubs.
DEFCON 2 At War: Increasing Danger
Additional wars have recently been declared but have not yet taken effect. Please check the Alliance chat, update your information base to include the new War Targets, and increase your vigilance.
DEFCON 1 Major War in Progress
A widespread War with an active and powerful enemy is live. Military action is under way right now, and you should watch for War Targets at all times.
Neither Peace nor Major War is expected. The normal state of affairs is one or more ongoing limited conflicts that require caution but not a full blown response. The strategic change would be to make Defcon 3 the normal state of affairs.
Changes in the normal state usually come about when one or more wars end, or when one or more organizations add to the declared wars list. Defcon 2 and 4 would indicate that such changes were underway. After a period of time at either Defcon 2 or 4, the status would automatically drop back to Defcon 3 to reflect the new normal.
Presumably a Major War would require extraordinary measures, and a jump to Defcon 1 would be accompanied by a broadcast message from the Leadership.
Although the original cold war language of the Defcon system is accurate, a more icon-oriented public information approach might be more effective.
DEFCON 5 Peace
Jita!! Go, go go!
DEFCON 4 At War: Decreasing Danger
Don't be a sitting duck.
DEFCON 3 Normal War Ongoing
Watch your back.
DEFCON 2 At War: Increasing Danger
DEFCON 1 Major War in Progress
