New to FW (going to give it a try since I have become tired of 0.0 caps and blobs)

From what I have seen the last few days playing as Amarr is the out numbering (10:1 at a guess). Cleary its too easy to force T5's when outnumbering the other side , so it really needs to be fixed so 50/50 gives the most PVP and the most earnings! Not saying I know how to do that, but it must be the goal! Perhaps killing the outnumbers (take the ships in local at the time) gives less than the other way around or something?

The easy take off a "home" system, NPC's should be hostile, but perhaps with the twist that when "hostiles" enter they switch targets and the timer stops (so it can't be miss used).

I really want this to be a way for me to play the game in a more casual way , but still the PVP way.

While I have no need to earn billions, I see nothing wrong with PVP bringing in an income, in fact I think it really would help the game along. I don't want to spend my free time playing eve to care bear, I hate it. I pay real money, so give me real fun.


Edit: Just want to really stress that LB (in the end isk) should be given mostly for killing the other sides ships (PvP), not the PVE (taking systems). Also why the whole LB thing, can't I just get isk pending the current state of play.

The most efficient way to run FW missions is to take your warp core optimized interceptor to every single agent and pick up a mission. Then you go run them all at once which increases efficiency because I think the missions were originally balanced with the expectation that the player would make 12 jumps or more per mission. If you run them all at once, then the travel time from agent to mission is reduced since you only have to make the initial trip to the enemy warzone once.

Limiting the number of open missions directly nerfs the maximum LP/hour a hard core FW mission farmer can make. It doesn't, however, nerf the amount of LP/hour a more casual mission runner can achieve.

Like Fozzie said, this isn't the entire FW package, just a rollout of the already-finished stuff. Moving the button to the warp-in, new system upgrades, NPC changes, and more will still all be coming in Retribution. The dev blog is just talking about the imminent changes and the new changes to the old plan, its not a replacement for the roadmap previously discussed in the other two official threads.

I do hope the new system upgrades will have an impact far beyond FW pilots and their immediate concerns. An empires control in a heavily contested area should have sweeping consequences for anyone living nearby or passing through the area regularly.

The more you impact pilots not directly affiliated with FW, the more interest you will generate in the struggle.

Not really. LP reward from killing an enemy pilot is based upon the worth of their ship when destroyed.

So, unless someone wants to use an alt to start blowing up their main's 200M ISK ships, the LP gain for this sort of exploitation is going to be reasonably low (not too mention slow.) Of course, the LP gained has to have an estimated ISK worth well below what the blowed-up ship is worth.

Say what?

Ranger1 says he wishes the largest payouts came from killing other faction's pilots, but that it would be hard to reward that heavily without it being exploited.

You disagree (with something), and point out exactly why ship destruction isn't the highest reward: because of the exploit-proof implementation.

What was your point?

Well done CCP, you just handed total control of the warzone to the Gallenteans forever!

Glad that CCP is doing something about this problem, whether or not it will be effective, I simply do not know, mostly due to ignorance of the mechanics of the issue.

I do wonder though, how long it will take for the effects of these changes to become apparent. Much like the real world economy, changes to supply and demand in EVE often take some time to show their effects due to stockpiles and market manipulation by those with large reserves of capital.

Perhaps this will be the bursting of the PLEX bubble?

Why don't you post a blog about it and spam it in 5 unrelated threads.

btw i forgott.

Good to see csm supporting this.
