I have two questions regarding standings towards empire faction and FW.

1) Will shooting pilots of an opponent FW milita result in standing losses towards that pilots empire faction?
Example: When enlisting to Caldari FW - will shooting a Minmatar FW pilot result in standing loss against the Minmatar Republic (not militia)?

2) If the answer to question #1 is "yes": Will I gain more faction towards my own militia and empire faction than lose against the oponents empire faction? Will I be able to enlist in different militias to "see-saw" empire faction standing like discribed in the Faction Standing Repair Plan - only not in PvE but in FW?

1) No, shooting players only changes corp standings, if they are in npc corp.

2) It is still no. As long as you are not killing NPC ships, standing should be fine.

As Cynthia wrote, if you only shoot players, you will not lose any standings.

Thank you for your answers!
Defending any FW space should be no problem then.

Aggressing against another faction (i.e. flying to Gallente space as Caldari and trying to take over sites) might be a problem, since one might be forced to kill the NPCs on site?

taking FW complexes will give you standing which eventually gives you a promotion that changes factions standings.
