I have previously fought for Caldari and done some L4 missions in sealth bomber so I know that side of warfare. I have finally gotten my Gallente standings up and I want to join to their side of FW. So the questions is, are the L1-L3 missions worth doing (e.g. kill just one ship or stargate like in L4 missions) and can they be completed in SB (i.e. do I fight only against frigates so torpedoes are nearly useless)? So, should I first grind my Gallente standings all the way up to 5.0 so I can immediately start doing L4 FW missions or just join immediately and do those lower level mission also? I've also heard that destroying a structure gives more standing penalty than killing a ship, is that true?

1. You will be at war with your chosen faction’s enemy faction militia. Pilots enlisted into the enemy faction will be able to open fire on you without CONCORD interference.

2. Entering the high security systems (0.5+) of the opposing faction will cause the navies of that faction to attack you.

3. Any entity, pilot or corporation, is required to have and maintain a standing of +0.5 or higher with the faction they intend to enlist for and to remain enlisted. Note that social skills are not taken into account for this requirement, only the raw unmodified standing counts.

I don't know a lot about FW but the way I understand it is:


You gain Faction standing much quicker in FW.
You gain rank for completing FW missions.
Agent level is determined by your rank.
Everyone starts out at base level rank.




Yeah, NPC structure kills usually give a larger negative standing hit compared to NPC ships.

Hi,

FW lvl3s are pretty good around 7k LPs per mission and there are a lot of low sec lvl3 agents. Take a chain of say 10 missions then go and complete them all. They are v. easy in a well skilled bomber and are completed quickly often with 2-3 volleys so not too much trouble from players invading your missions.

Also doing FW lvl3s will be the quickest way to improve your standings. FW lvl3s pay better per hour than standard level4 missions.
