Ive been a FW pilot for a long time and missioned a lot before he changes to agents, etc


I recently mission-ed for guristas and the systems to get to the objective were less then 2 jumps. In FW it took almost 15+ jumps to get to the mission site. So my question is:

1) Is this still the same for FW?
2) LP to isk ration is the FW lp worth more or is it the same?
3) What were the actual changes to FW mission agents?

Yes, still many jumps

LP value has been slowly dropping over time

Not much, other than quest fail/decline changes that happened long ago.

The faction warfare agents of the same level are now all of the same default quality (+ 20), and all require the same standing to reach, but that did not change the FW missions themselves or their placement in the opposing faction's low sec space (thus the many jumps). The drop in LP value is probably more a herd effect as the story spread of the FW faction store discounts and the potential profits to be had, so more players (or their alts) joined FW to make isk through the FW LP stores. With more folks selling off their FW LP and competing for buyers, buyers could get better deals on the faction ships. The agent quality change kicked out some extra loyalty points too (all agents at higher quality), but my guess is that the real reason was the increased number of FW mission runners over time.

Don't write off FW LP too quickly as it looks like the new Player Owned Customs Offices will be cheaper through FW stores.
