Plex Despawn when Vulnerable

I've noticed in faction warfare that plexes still spawn when a system is vulnerable and unable to be defended or recaptured by the owning faction.

I think this should be changed so that plexes do not spawn in systems once they go to a vulnerable state. This will stop farming of vulnerable systems and make systems change hands slightly more often and create more pvp and interaction between factions.

Systems should probably only be allowed to reach 105% contested.

There should be no LP rewards for offensive plexing at this level.

There is one very good reason why plexes need to keep spawning, so that the system can be defended.

I like that idea, for that to work vulnerable systems will have to give some form of reward for defense of them. Maybe just a minor amount of LP to the defenders when only in a vulnerable state.

Would encourage flipping of systems to gain tiers rather than farming

I'd rather they went to 80-90% after the next DT if they're not flipped. That way the aggressors have to run plex again to get it to vulnerable, meaning before a major flip, you know where they're going to be. Knowing where the WTs are is what leads to pvp.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

this would change nothing on the current situation where systems are farmed and not flipped

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
