EVE General Discussion

This is how FW plexing works: you enter a system, warp to a system-visible beacon, maybe kill/chase off a wt that's already there, maybe sit at the button doing nothing or else kill the rats and mostly sit at the button doing nothing (or wait at the warp-in), maybe kill/chase off wartargets/pirates that come in. There's too much PvP in it to call it "a type of mission". And if you aren't a farming alt and actually desire PvP, plexing is a great way to get it. When you do something in order to get fights, 'mission' is an odd label for what you're doing.

Or rather, if that's a mission, then ratting/anomalies/exploration can likewise be presented as virtualized missions for the entities that give you standings boosts for doing them, and you can deploy this 'duh standings-for-missions' quip to anyone who objects to extending standings boosts to those activities.



"Familiarity should breed adoration". Given deriving standings, this might be irritating. For instance, someone grinding Guristas standings wouldn't like having to grind away the Guristas penalties from merely shopping at Jita.

I agree that standings should have much more impact in game, not sure if jump bridges are it?

For example:

Factions allow high standing autopilot distance closer to gate
Portrait displays different tattoo/hat/medal etc.
Upgraded captains quarters with some use
Able to remotely complete and request missions from greater distances
Cheaper office rental
Rental of hangars shared between characters
Starbase licence that isn't consumed instead of charters
Cheaper PI tax
Ability to use hisec gates with caps
Access to exploration sites with better loot
Etc. etc.

Only if the players were going to pay a tax, a very high tax, and fuel them.

That's the spirit.

I would agree with the fact faction standings gain should be mainly from FW, after all why would you gain faction standings by killing rats or mission to corporations?

Corporation standings raise with missions, yes
Gain concord SS by killing rats, yes
Faction just by doing some important mission every 16 missions, no, this should be reserved for FW only.

Would promote more high sec/low sec pvp and make players get involved faster on cheapo throw away pvp, this can only be good.

On topic:

High sec JB's? -If they need you to fuel them, are destructible (so, player owned) and limited range to half of those null ones, why not?

ITT: comparing shooting at red crosses to the :effort: of taking, holding, and defending sovereignty, setting up and fueling two POSes, installing and paying taxes for sov upgrades, and fueling bridges every time some idiot jumps an orca with MWD on through.

Didn't read the rest of the comments but.

This would only work if:
1. Members of the Faction ONLY can use the jump bridges, this means that freighters will have to take a risk by being constantly wardecced to do it.
2. These would have to be fueled by someone in the factional warfare corporation.

Why are you using commas and full stops the wrong way round?

Also still no.

If CCP really wanted to make Eve smaller they'd bring back the highways. They removed them for a reason.
