Warfare & Tactics

I love pirate tears.

In short, you do not favor a mechanic that will not impact you in any way because you feel it will be 'unfair' on your delicate, disenfranchised pirate sensibilities that your not-yet-outlawed companions lose an advantage.

Outlawed pirates are one thing, but everyone else who intends to hunt FW folks in their complexes are a problem.

Why is this? Well, when they enter your complex, you have three options;

A) Attack first if the fight looks winnable and accept your sec-status hit. You will then have to either deal with your slow decline into outlaw status or spend a large amount of your time grinding missions/ratting to get it back up - this costs you time you could have spent fighting in FW instead, so it impacts your play-style.

B) Do not attack first and accept that the neural non-outlaw now has a tactical advantage on you - he/she get's to attack or not based entirely on if THEY think they can take you. Either that, or do whatever else they want, like get in position to RR one of your militia's enemies, on their way to the same complex. Oh and, they also got to scout it before entering, so that's great too. In other words, you have surrendered your initiative and your new guest can do whatever they want on their terms.

C) You warp out to avoid options A or B - thus losing your complex and having your activity affected by a random non-FW visitor.

This created a lose/lose/lose situation for the FW player, when instead the complex could be considered military space and thus restricted. Entering despite that restriction makes you a TRESPASSER inside military property and should thus flag you as suspect.

This means that anyone that enter a complex and is not allied to the occupants becomes a legitimate target to the FW player(s) inside; either you are a hostile FW enemy, an outlawed pirate you can shoot anyway, or a random neutral that went somewhere he should not, even ignoring a pop-up upon entering that stated he/she entered a restricted area and could/would be fired on. (Assuming this mechanic is implemented and a warning pop-up shows up, much like the low-sec warning and so on.)

Ofc, feel free to ignore non FW blues who get flagged just like people ignore their flagged, blue pirates. This would make life much more tolerable for the non-pirate FW members.

as neutral entering a plex you have the intention to kill and are ready to take gcc as penalty. If you are in militia you primarily care about wartargets and try to avoid gcc if possible. Those are two different motivations. I wouldn't have a big problem with being a suspect when entering a plex as militia member but that does not make much sense.

How many players can capture a FW plex?
Or once it is captured one time does it disappear?
Sorry in advance for the stupid question, I couldnt find the answer anywhere.

Thank you
