Would be super awesome to have conord stations dotted aorund fw low sec that would permit a dock and rep, but nothing else and only one ship (your active ship+pod) to dock, would be a nice breather place and rest stop, low sec is meant to be a little of high and a little of low - too inconveint behind enemy lines atm.

RollSigh... really? Just get over it already. if you relocate to the front lines you only have to go one jump to dock up. It's not CCPs fault that you can't adapt.

If you keep your home base in Gal Low sec 5+jumps from the front line of the war then that's your stupidity for calling it 'inconvenient'

I was tempted to add a statement saying "and stay away from Princess Nexxala. Don't trust him, never go near him, just log off if you see him in local :D"
tbh, it's the only way to avoid a loss mail from Princess Nexxala. The old saying "If you don't log, you're dead" is true when Nexx is in system.

And it changes all the time. While in nullsec I've never soley played EVE as a video game; you're right, it is somewhat infrequent. I hop on battlefield3 and if a jabber ping goes out, see whats up. The level of communication and organization within our alliance and with other allied alliances lets us play like that. We're attempting to bring the same level of meta-game communication to not only our FW alliance, but also our entire militia. It will double the effectiveness of the militia when the plan gets up to 100%. And, as for action, recently we've been getting hours long brawls in Delve with the entire southern bloc, several times a day. And it's been amazing and epic.

Keep in mind as you "double effectiveness" that if you raise the bar, your opponents either need to raise the bar, accept lessened competitiveness, or quit. This being a video game, it often makes sense to quit and find something better to do. If you want FW to stay fun, be careful about tryharding, there are an awful lot of people in FW who have done the endlessly escalating nullsec warfare thing and found it wanting.

The Website is the most official killboard I know of. I didn't even really know it had a forum. I just use it as a killboard. I would note that I assume that Wolfsbrigade does not seem to use it.

Son, that amarr killboard is about as 'not up to date' and 'broken' as can be and we really can't be bothered to use it because of that simple fact. Iirc it also doesn't recognize alliances in Amarr FW.

You should look up things on eve-kill for a more accurate picture.]


I'm disappointed in that. That killboard was a great thing.

Is there any way to get an idea of faction war kills from eve-kill?

I know in game we can get current kills but I do not know if we can go back and look at the numbers of kils and kills in each system etc.

Are there any good ways to determine this sort of information?

As you'll soon hear a bit more about in the upcoming CSM summit minutes, a lot of this info is slated to be integrated into the in-game interface itself. The goal is to have FW data easily accessible, without having to rely on third-party killboards to accurately track all the statistics. The new UI we received with Inferno is just a framework CCP plans to build on.

You know. I'm not sure my milltia understands why taking all Gallente systems isn't wise. To be honest, I think it's a waste of time to even have that disscussion. F*ck! I don't even care that much. However I'll help and by extension my corporation. It may limit our militias target pool, but my corporation engages any target of opportunity (piracy + 0.0).

@ the same time. If Caldari can win it all AGAIN. Why shouldn't they go for it? Meh! A win is a win. One thing is for sure. The new mechanics have put alot more importance on orbiting a button and holding systems. Which translates into more organization, fights and maybe even larger engagements.

There may be a day when we start seeing a large Caldari Rokh fleet going up against a large Gallente Abaddon fleet on a reg basis. 0.0 Style!

Maybe once you beat the Gallente you can come help the Amarr. :P Not that they need it, tbh. o.o
