Whether or not you guys think plexing should be a PvE or PvP activity, you can't seriously believe it's fine that a tanked frigate can capture sites intended for battlecruisers.

I applaud the recent changes to make FW more interesting and even profitable, but it still seems like a jumbled mess of ideas, many of which exist on the poorly thought-out whim of a dev.

The changes that ccp implemented in inferno were generally well thought out. Its not that the work they did on plexing caused issues its more that they havent really worked on plexing. They gave awards but nothing, other than removing ewar, really changed in how you most efficiently run plexes. I think they are planning on working on that for winter.

Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815

ehh just make it so if the offensive plexer warps off or is killed in the plex the defending plexer gets the LP for the plex. It wont stop gunless pve ships but it will promote PVP because people will be actively trying to take your plex.

Something like

offensive plexer finishes 9 out of the 10 minutes in a minor then warps off as defensive plexer comes into the site. defensive plexer only needs to finish the last minute of the plex to get his LPs though he would only get 1000/10000 since he only has to wait the remaining 1 minute. This way the defensive plexer doesn't have to spend to much time in the plex before he goes and attemps for the guy in the next plex.


This would give LP for defensive plexing but only if the opposing faction is actively attempting to plex your systems.
This would encourage PVP fits and slightly discourage Pure PVE fits because you would have to defend your site or not get any LPs.

I would warp in my alt in cheap ship to the plex , warp in 2nd alt in opposing militia, pop the first one and claim the lp in 10 seconds. And move to another plex.
