Reinforced

From our standpoint, it's not. Manpower drops at the weekend, for obvious reasons.

Say will Empire factions be issuing Letters of Marquee that give CONCORD immunity as long as your targets have high enemy faction standings? Obviously you get automatic -10 faction standings from enemy faction navies...but not necessarily civilian stations unless you attack.

I'd say that is an idea that its time has come. All standings would just need to be public info and instead of just CONCORD security standings.


Hopefully all those Caldari internal struggles producing damaged stations were just preparation for making high sec stations destructable. Too many players have too much junk stored up and its ruining economy and its unfair advantage. Good fits should expensive and poor T1 fits more common among corp with losing PVP records.

A few years of PVP forced player corp consolidations with wider spread of T1 to full T3 ship population and maybe T4 intro -- and then CCP can switch it up with adding Jovian or Elder invasions or opening Sansha faction to real players.

Actually Letters of Marquee should let you shoot anyone who is NOT flying a clear friendly faction flag -- specifically neutral merchants can be accused of transporting war supplies and enemy merchants are clear targets at all times.

Though maybe neutrals might be given a pass in systems where friendly navies are in control.

All you CODE alliance types and so called pirates should form a petition calling for Gallente Federation and Caldari to issue Letters of Marquee.

Of course the down side is that there is usually a fairly hefty tax 10-25% on public goods sales for holders of such Letters of Marquee. But it would worth it to be shooting folk with whom you had no specific wardec right in front of civilian stations and CONCORD without penalty.

Plus eventually there might be dueling with enemy faction gates and stations to damage or destroy them. The carebears should support that too since they could make a killing on contracts to rebuild/repair NPC stations while faction navies tried to protect them.

From what i understand faction warfare has been something that has been needing revamped for a number of years. it would have been impractical, and likely a bit stupid to have done every change at once which is why they have had to spread it out of the past couple of expansions.

Orbital bombardment had to start somewhere. The best way for it to have a direct impact on the main game is through FW, with the added benefit of it being small scale, DUST after all is still a game in Beta. I would imagine, that OB is something that will eventually be added to other areas of gameplay and not restricted to FW. Give them Chance!

GALLENTE SUPERIOR, DEATH TO THE CALDARI

They aren't.

It seems to be CCP's new policy to hand out easy victories to the gal/min militias and to exclude vast swathes of paying customers from live events.

Good job CCP :(

burn.....

First, I agree with what almost everyone has said. My entire corp should not be excluded simply on the basis that we actively fight for the state. The system should be given 0.4 sec status so every one can participate. It may be tough to get to the system, but at least no one is excluded.

Second, isn't the titan under orders to obliterate all Gallente settlements if it comes under attack?

CCP Affinity is so power mad, she refused my perfectly reasonable demand that the event be run in J105934 (aka Nova). This is terribly unfair to those of us too lazy to scan our way out of the wormhole.

When will CCP realize that without wormhole players the game would be dead, and they would all be out on the street begging for some rotten fish? Who among the fearsome forum warriors can right this terrible injustice????
