Warfare & Tactics

Faction warfare should be a game of actual warfare and not pest control.

Think of world of tanks - before each battle all 30 tanks roll over the battlefield in search of cloaky farming tractors and kills them.

Or war thunder - before you take off you search your barracks for farming dudes and kill them.

Farming is nice - but not on a battlefiield.

The minnie mili is totally inactive - they only farm - I see that there are also tons of amarr farmers and I am not accusing any mili in general.

In fact the pies in fw systems give far better fights than our non existent war targets. And we had some wars against other amarr fw corps that gave better fights than fw.

Pockets is right - the fw missions also need fixes or been removed as a whole - they are inbalanced and useless.

LPs should only be given for ship kills and systems taken.

Like a war.

Almity leads nightly roams in the DayZ beta if you want to join in.

Please do this. The 100 ship cloaking fleet will utterly break FW. Alternatively the destruction of a hojillion rookie ships with cheap t1 mods fitted to them will be used to infinitely earn money.

I can see only few things which can be done to solve problem with farming (remember, It's only my point of view - viewer discretion is advised):

1) Timer reseats - when you go out of range of the timer, cloak, warp off, WHATEVER - the timer resets to default time.
2) If acceleration gates can limit SOME ships from going in, why they can't limit usage of modules? Let every acceleration gate on novice/small/med/large plexes deny entrance for every ship with CLOAKS and STABS. No, I don't want to delete these modules or to change them in ANY way, I want farmers to be forced to take much GREATER risk for that reward, PERIOD.

I believe that 2 things mentioned above would solve the problem. Dedicated farmers will farm of course, but we pvpers will be able to kill them if they try too hard.

When bots play eve and players are bored - - - then I as a dev would pay attention and not think about deployable kitchen sinks, but game mechanics.

FW has to be war - or it is not worth playing it.

Farming belongs ot null sec where all the farmers live.

Having 7 bill - small change - who cares for that?

When I log in I want to fight for my faction and corp and not count my isk.

When farming in bots is the ultimate goal in eve - then eve is not worth playing it.

I do not accuse you farming players - you would bend every game just to feel comforable with the "wealth" you have accumulated, because you do not understand the game. The problem is game mechanics that lets you act this foolish in the first place.

If there is no reward in fighting for your faction, and you do not care for your faction - why be part of a faction milita?

Timer resets are a bad idea. Timer rollbacks would work. In other words, the timer could be started into a rollback mode by having a FW character within 30km and the timer would continue to run towards neutral even if the player leaves the plex as if the player was still there.

Having "reset mode" when you're not in the plex is just another form of AFK play. You shouldn't be able to impact the plex timer without being inside the plex.

Getting more rewards for deplexing (50-75% of oplex rewards, not scaled by contested %, for example) could make it worthwhile to stick around.

Dual timers means equal effort needed to cap a plex for both offense and defense.

Anything punitive timer-wise gives an unfair advantage to a defender. The warzones would become even more stagnant since it'd be so much more difficult to flip defended systems.

All this talk about "the good old days" is rubbish. My entire corporation is overloaded with PvP TODAY. It's never been more active. We'll have about 30 guys with 200+ kills by the end of this month.

Anyways, it's very interesting to see the differences between the two fronts. I firmly believe it's because both sides (Caldari and Gallente) have committed to putting themselves at risk by basing in FW low sec. If Templis or OMG decided to "opt out and base outside of FW low sec" it would be less "stressful" and result in less pew.

how will stopping cloaks and stabs stop farming the farmers will sit as far away from the warp in but still inside button range as they can and watch dscan like they do now anyone comes on shortrange they warp to a pre made safe and stay there till u get bored and fk off ... please think about these so called fixes before u spout them

Missunderstanding man, I said so, as an oposition to "big blobs trying to capture plexes", that's it. If it happens, good. More fleet fights to be had.



Good, but how would you change it? Most of you only criticize how all FW is bad, why you can't say anything how to fix this?
