1, Display a different icon when there is player(s) contesting a FW site.
2, Add a map feature to see if a system has player contesting FW sites.


It's realistic: FW militia are not men made by straw, at least they know how to request help when attacked.

It's good for game experience: Randomly wondering across the systems to search invader are either pointless and boring, make defensive action difficult, reward-less and prone to "cloaky FW alts".

CCP should encourage engagement more than captures, being able to aware(in time) when under attack is essential for people willing to engage.


Non-engaging fw alts not only frustrate active pvp players, but also average the income of active fw player.
These are just two little changes, but may have great improvement on gaming experience.

You may argue that these little idea will not change much, maybe, but it's "not much" towards the good direction, why not just have a try?
