ok... i dont know anything about FW... and writing this from no FW member point of view... Attention
but i have one guy i know thats starting EVE and i have one question from my NOOB side... Idea

Noobs dont know that FW exist untill they read forums and things like that... thats wrong.
FW members are military... and that we should see and have feeling of it... Idea

- when ship skins are coming... i would like that they get free FW skins for ships (they cant sell it and when they leave FW they need to return it)... that way wee see our military members...

- and can you make that we can see military members in overview and/or local (marked with some color/sign) so that we know in space that we just fly by one of ours soldiers.

- and i hope when WiS comes that FW will have its place (command) in stations



give us a feeling that our army exists. Attention


EDIT: Adding some more suggestion from responses:

- FW uniforms (you get it when joining and must return it when leaving FW - no selling)

truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Actually the FW members are not military - they're civilian militia, a bunch of rag tags with pitchforks...even if some of the pitchforks are military grade weapons of mass destruction.

As for the special skins - it would be nice, militia uniforms would also be cool...

Ship skins is something that hasn't yet been implemented on SiSi so I'd wait a bit more before asking for special FW ship skins.
However, this made me think up of adding FW uniforms for player characters.

We already have militia ranks, how about adding FW uniforms which depend on race and rank. Adding other decorations, such as those from corp and similar may end you looking awesome like this.

The militia was a good idea at one time... when CCP wanted to increase the attractiveness of low sec pvp and pve.

It has since then turned into a ghetto pirate outfit for all factions who mostly fly around low sec in drake blobs or camp gates hoping for easy kills since there is nothing to fight over.

Sure, they have complexes they can capture... again and again... that do not amount to anything of value for them or their FW corps. Hence, join the militia (As a cheap alternative to your own alliance) and go pirating. yarr.

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

updated forst post with uniforms...



and about military/militia/freelancers - they all serve for the same cause... so they need to have some characteristic signage in/on ships and uniforms and distinguish in space from "civilian"

truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
