Warfare & Tactics

yawn another thread for cearain to sperg about that damn notification .... IM OUT

That's pretty funny.

I actually do this already. Honestly all you need is a meta 4 torp launcher and t2 fit purifier. Character bazaar can probably pull for like 1-2bil. Its super easy and you can actually make around 1 bil per 6 hours. notice how i PVE on my minni alt and pvp on my amarr main. Because that shows the system is working as intended.

Here's my take on FW.

"the war is won...". But did you stop and consider that maybe "the war" is not won by conquering systems? I might even go as far as asking, what exactly is "winning the war within the current Fw mechanics?"

Here's how things are right now in Fw as of Sovereignity and Lp rewards:

--If you conquer/upgrade more systems, you have primarily more Lp rewarded from offensive plexing and missions, plus other less influencial bonuses (faster production, less taxes, less repair costs at stations)
L---> But: since upgrading systems now is a lot more costly Lp-wise (300.000 Lp +increasing taxes up to 70%), and you would end up with a less fertile plexing ground, there is no real incentive on winning the war. Probably what would happen in a 90-10 map, is the dominating side turning to missions, as the minority continuing offensive plexing on the numerous available systems, the result? probably back to initial state of balance.

Since the new mechanic grants up to +225% Lp reward for offensive plex at T5, the question is, where would you offensive plex at T5? Since no one seems incredibly motivated by going above Tier 2, things will probably remain stagnant sov-wise.

My take, is that a red-blue balance of the map is silently accepted by both flags. Meaning continuing to have farming ground to fund our pvp. Which has seen increasing numbers as never before. And that to me is a war that's been won by ccp. By us.

There is no war to be won. Just a game that fuels its own end: keep doing what you love.

In regards to pinkys cloak frig.

We at FWEDDIT and YOLOCOLO are currently particitpating in a No Metal RUNMATAR campaign. Where we are using kills of their cloaky ships and doing exaclty what the minmatar have been doing. AFK cloak plexing.

We started Thursday and are continuing until the end of this week.

So yes you will see stabbed and cloak pve frigs for the next few days.

WE are using this to make a point that you dont actually have to pvp to win the warzone. So far Fweddit has some pretty iconic numbers in regards to VP.

I think we did 49.4% of all amarr VP yesterday. and many systems are now over 50% contested that were orignially stable. We have flipped 2 systems already and plan to flip a large number by the end of the week.

The game logs and fraps will show that amarr is able to push back and actually gain warzone control if we stop having fun and turn into drones that plex all day

Great point. Now go attack Huola or a system the Minmatar care about.

That +225% LP gain is used in missions. which lvl 4 FW missions is where the isk is.

Thanks for proving that you have no idea what you are talking about, because you are either bad or have never played FW.

And since it works for you that must mean its awesome. Congrats.

Atron ftw.

Attack, as in spend countless hours flying around beacons while trying to coax minmatar to come out and fight, then leave when RL requires sleep to come back to a system that is exactly the same because Russian TZ reversed it.

No Thanks. If it meant we got fights, sure, but it doesn't force sh*t.

No, it just means it works. If a moron like me can get a mechanic to work, I'm sure brain surgeons in MOAR TEARS and Fweddit can.
