Plexing has definitely increased the number of small skirmish fights at least in the US TZ, I just hope it isn't a temporary increase. Usually it starts with a few people running plexes in a system, you get a couple of scouts poking around, each side starts calling in backup and things escalate. Personally I would like to get more LP off of other players than the actual plex. Maybe a bonus for killing someone inside a plex, since the current amount you receive per kill is laughable? |

I've been in a few major null alliances and in every case a good portion of the market was seeded by corporations specifically contracted to keep the main hubs stocked. Some of the items were manufactured locally but a sizable chunk was imported from high sec.
I'm really looking forward to see what they do with FW. ICRS - Intergalactic Certified Rocket Surgeon |

To CCP: Do you envision a dynamic that sets FW apart from other gameplay in EVE, if so, what is that dynamic?
Personally, I don't think making FW simply more accessible is the route to go. If there's a great enough incentive people will come and will find ways to make the system work for them. Think of the initial progress towards player alliances in the early days. ICRS - Intergalactic Certified Rocket Surgeon |

As to your second thought - I only have three words: HURRICANE FLEET ISSUE. Ok fine, I'll settle for a Cyclone Fleet Issue...since usually its the lower tiers that get the Faction upgrade.
Fixing the market from reward angle isn't enough though - the best idea I've ever heard for this problem is to make FW missions the privilege of those who have earned victory points through PvP efforts, whether its plexing or being on enemy militia kills. Assuming Soundwave delivers on the make-plexing-mean-something end of things (I have faith!) we could use those victory points as a token to entice the militia agents to assign their high-paying jobs to us. That way, "I've heard great things about your accomplishments, Hans Jagerblitzen" won't be just a fluff line, players will EARN their right to ***** on the juicy LP rewards.
Faction versions of the Tier 1 BCs only available through FW would be awesome. Also they should look at reevaluating the faction cruisers available through FW, especially the faction cruisers based on a logi hull.
Now for a non-crap way to get LP that has a real incentive for PvP. ICRS - Intergalactic Certified Rocket Surgeon |

I have found that sometimes there are targets in the system, but something like 12 plexes open with 5 of the same size. If I want to try to initiate PvP via the plexes, it's going to take forever to either find the one with enemies, or for the enemies to find me. And more likely, the enemy will have the same reaction to the situation as me... "I'm not going to spend a bunch of time running around to all these plexes looking for someone, nor am I going to sit in one for 15mins tanking NPCs (if my fit even allows that) hoping they find me".
In a vast majority of cases I haven't found this to be the case. Plus if someone wants a fight in a plex they will stay inside and give you time to select the correct one on D-scan. The more flighty plex runners will be warping out as soon as you're on short scan anyway.
The plethora of plexes is much more desirable over the old mechanic where plexes were absent.
I also question the association between FW and casual PvP. Personally, I find small skirmish warfare to be much more demanding on individual pilots where the weakest link is quickly weeded out. In general I think more FW pilots have been exposed to close fights than much of the PvP that happens in null which is heavily dependent on fleet composition, logistics (not the ship type) and pure attrition. From my experience in 0.0, only a fraction of the population regularly engages in solo or skirmish pvp, and usually only fights during large fleets or CTAs.
As far as the carrot on the stick is concerned, LP can be a major draw, but currently the main issue in FW is the risk/reward balance. The current mission types (particularly L4s) are far too easy to run without an engagement. Plexes offer a greater chance of engagement, but offer no LP. While the highest risk - actual PvP - offers a negligible amount of LP. ICRS - Intergalactic Certified Rocket Surgeon |

Great feedback in this thread. I'm taking a few notes and getting a few ideas.
One thing we might be able to do very easily is remove the faction NPCs, letting you freely travel in other factions space. How would you guys feel about that change? I've always found it a bit sad that we've isolated FW in low-sec when it could be done on a much larger scale. Awesome idea! terribad idea. if anything increase the npcs in highsec. they should **** your **** up when you enter enemy highsec. if you remove npcs from highsec. thats gonna make as much sense as flying threw planets.
I believe they should come out in force, but right now the navy response is a bit too concord-like. Going into enemy high-sec is too focused on the NPC mechanic, and the actual PvP is practically overlooked - either bring some speed tankers or a cap boosted BS with decent range. In particular the NPC EWAR seems a bit "unnatural." ICRS - Intergalactic Certified Rocket Surgeon |

@Hans:
An easy request on behalf of FW - the show info option for FW alliances should list their FW affiliation just as it's displayed next to a corp's logo.
