I donGÇÖt rp but this is sort of an attempt at it in order to envision how I think fw should be. ItGÇÖs the story my character would be able to tell about himself if ccp got fw right.
High command = ccp fw mechanics. My fat cat high sec traders = my alts. Earning navy equipment = lp store stuff. The empress = the new more enlightened ccp. Carrying out personal vendettas for the brass = missions.
IGÇÖm with the 22nd myridian defensive command. IGÇÖm in the amarr militia. The militia as a whole has broken the minmatar amarr front into 10 zones. Most corps are assigned to one defensive zone and one offensive zone. However this is not set in stone and can be fairly fluid. Some also have clones in Caldari Gallente front for when the squids need help.
My corp is assigned the GÇ£**** and siphGÇ¥ pipline covering tzvi, siflar and the 2 systems in that cluster up to arzad and ezzara. Our offensive area is Vard, lantorn and sisede and we share responsibility of dal and hoff with the another set of corps.
In my defensive zone I have 30 frigates, 20 cruisers 10 bcs and 8 battleships, all fully fit and ready to go. I have half that number in my offensive zone. My supplies are actually running low.
Since the changes in high command 2 months ago the fighting has been intense. I have lost 170 frigates (many of which are high tech and navy issue) 70 cruisers 50 battlecruisers and 20 battleships. However I helped kill over 400 enemy frigates 180 enemy cruisers 140 battle cruisers and 70 battleships. I helped capture over 500 complexes for the amarr.
Thanks to the change where the high command actually compensates people who help in the war effort instead of just carrying out personal vendettas of the brass I have earned allot of navy equipment. By capturing the complexes themselves I earned enough Navy equipment to pay for over 80% of my losses. The insurance (when you fight for the militia you know your insurance money wonGÇÖt go to waste) and the loot should more than make up for the difference. (even if it is minmatar crap loot)
That is, it will make up the difference when I get around to selling that stuff. I have been putting it off. ItGÇÖs just that every minute there is a new complex to take or defend. 95% of my waking hours are spent fighting for these complexes.
What am I supposed to do? Tell my commander GÇ£yeah I know we are under attack and you need me, but IGÇÖm too busy carting all my loot into high sec in my big fat luxury transport ship, so you will have to wait?GÇ¥ Actually I canGÇÖt even fly those fancy transport ships.
And anyway I would probably never be able to live down being seen in one. You know the joke: What do transport ships and fat girls have in common? They are both fun to ride until a friend sees you on one.
What I need to do is contact one of my fat cat high sec marketer friends to haul this stuff out and get it sold. They have no shame riding those big civilian transport ships. Plus most of the loot is in those 2 zones instead of scattered thought the 4 regions of our front like it used to be. But I know they are keeping a bigger cut than they claim. I just know it.
One of my favorite marketers tells me she canGÇÖt sell my amarr navy armor plates in even in jita! She says they are worse than plain tungsten plates. I donGÇÖt believe it. But she tells me I can take them back anytime if I have a use for them GÇô and frankly I donGÇÖt. But thatGÇÖs beside the point. She is just bitter over our break up.
Yeah most of the women I loved died because they werenGÇÖt immortal. The rest decided they didnGÇÖt want to fight in the militia and left for distant regions of space. They left me and the glorious amarr for isk. Not to say there arenGÇÖt women in the militia. About 40% are women. But reading some of what they write, they often seem like men. And IGÇÖll be damned if 95% of their voices donGÇÖt sound like a manGÇÖs voice when I hear them on coms! It creeps me out. High command claims that if we get more fancy clothes more women GÇô the kind with feminine voices - will join the war. I think thatGÇÖs BS.
Well what are GÇ£the changesGÇ¥ that happened 2 months ago? Well basically the Empress found out that high command was idiotic and cleared them out. Plexes were being attacked and no one was even being notified! When we needed to clear out spies from our own plex we would ask were we need to go and high command said they lost the maps. So we would have to wander around scanning our own complexes out again!
Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=53815&#post53815
