So if i understand it corectly, I will no longer be able to plex minors (novice) in my thrasher, but with changes to npc's in site i will be able to actually run normals (small) sites? (talking about offensive plexing ofc)

That's correct

that ofcourse mean more LP in shorter time (right now im unable to run normals, my fw char was made only 3 days ago)

can't wait to go into a small plex with a corax and volley anything in there from 40km

Unless of course an opposing player tries to stop you.


That's a question for Team Superfriends, but I beleive they have a plan for war dec iteraction going forward, yes. If you have specifics to bring to their attention then I advise posting in the blog feedback thread which covers (alongside other things) their Retribution changes to war decs. I know they're keeping a close eye on it.

I updated Buckingham and tried all the plexes out on Sunday. I was able to complete all 4 sizes of site with a t1 frigate: a tristan with hobgoblin IIs, 1 web, 1mn AB, 2x neutron blasters. 156 dps seems a little low ball tbh (since that was all that I had and all that was required).

Nice work team, as usual! The LP store improvements were a great surprise and a huge quality of life improvement for Faction Warriors (Especially the LP *****s. I know, I know, carpal tunnel from shopping is one of those “1st world problems” but its just as helpful for us weekend warriors.)

Now, for the “what’s next” stuff – Timers, timers, timers. The lack of visibility on the timers and lack of rollback for unoccupied plexes is hugely frustrating. I sincerely hope there are concrete plans to address this in a .1 patch. They are critical fixes to the PvP nature of plexing and needed to create a strong danger of being attacked in a plex and encouraging pilots to fight instead of to flee. Especially with the NPC’s nerfed down this hard and so easy to kill, we’re relying on players now to defend and take space – so lets make it dangerous. This should be an immediate priority with what time is left for FW work.

Secondly, I hope the option remains to tweak the site balance. I think most of us expected the current Major plexes to become Larges, and I’ve said before there needs to be more opportunities for bigger fights in FW, not just frigate / cruiser combat constantly, though the new plex distribution is a lovely haven for small-scale combat. The ship balancing will contribute to a really fun variety of engagements now that the NPC’s won’t be dictate what we can bring. That being said, with the only place for BC and up combat being what were the old unrestricted plexes and bunker busts, I’m afraid we’re about to see a lot less battlecruiser fights in general. It’s two steps forward, one step back in terms of making Faction Warfare a place for true diversity in engagement size. We’ll see how it plays out, but I hope these can be tweaked if it becomes a monotonous frigate-fest too quickly.

And once again, thanks for jumping on the opportunity to squeeze in the geography changes, they look fantastic and I know it’ll go a long ways towards making our warzone in particular much more competitive.

A large source of income for me at least came from tags collected while plexing.

Will the new NPC contain a similar amount of tags as before?

Can you please slip in the ability to determine via API which militia a player is in as part of FW changes while you're making it easier to see militia status in-game? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=146311

I love how you add basic functions, then declare them new, game changing features.
