AWOXing in Faction War:;

As i understand the term its, When a player of an militia attacks the other allied militia player without provocation or as an act of piracy. They don't get standing penalty for their respective militia. This is flawed, they should be penalized somehow, or don't appear purple at all.

Clarifying what's going on...

The root of the issue: Retribution changed the "in my militia" overview state to "in my militia or one allied to mine".

What the issue is:

  • Shooting neutrals gives you a Suspect Flag (used to be GCC) .
  • Shooting people in your own militia (blues) gives you Suspect Flag (used to be GCC) and docks your standings with your militia to discourage shooting allies.
  • Shooting people in an allied militia (now also blues) only gives you a Suspect flag (used to be GCC), and does not penalize you for shooting allies.


Previous to Retribution, the third bullet point did not exist, as allied militia just showed up as neutral. The lack of differentiation between "my militia" and "allied militia" is making it unclear who is shootable and with what consequences.

Please keep the comments constructive.

This was a problem before retribution. The standing hits to your faction are easy to circumvent.

Finally listing who is in an allied militia is a big help and saves a precious a column on our overview. I would definitely not be in favor of changing the ability to easily see who is in an allied militia.

The solution is to wardec the corp but I am not sure how long this lasts and therefore how costly it is. Also this won't help people in the npc militia.

As someone who DGAF about my security status

The 'allied' militia are neutrals as far as I'm concerned seeing as attacking them doesn't hit your militia standings. The thing that annoys me is I can't seperate them on my overview (unless you guys and gals know of a way i can?) as they are treated as 'allies'.

I'm amarr and the caldari militia is fair game to me unless my corp/alliance has blue standing with specific corps/alliances in calmil or I know them and have personal blue standing towards them.

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

Color the amarr gold, minnies rust brown, gallente green/blue (whatever that new aggression color is), and caldari light blue problem solved, and rainbows for everyone to boot! Big smile
