These pirate neutrals create more worthwhile content in fw space than the militiamen. It is a pvp feature after all. I would suggest that if there is a perception that the pirate neuts are more experienced players than fw pilots, and that they fly more expensive ships, it's maybe because those experienced players realised along time ago that there are much easier ways to make isk to pew than orbiting buttons. I'll never understand the plex farmer mentality. If you're not in the plex to pew, what's the point.
Also. There are many fail pirates and experienced militiamen. Pick your fights better perhaps.
Ed. Myself and my corp would consider our home system as our space. We will shoot anything that shows up to prosecute that claim. It's not our fault the empires decided to wage their proxy war in our home. We're the space Belgium. That man is the noblest creature may be inferred from the fact that no other creature has contested his claim. |

There's something called highsec dueling that might be more fitting for you. Solo Pvper in all areas of space including wormhole space. Check out my youtube channel @-áhttp://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd6M3xV43Af-3E1ds0tTyew/feed for mostly small scale pvp in lowsec/nullsec

No to OP idea and the other 'fixes'... make neutrals go suspect? Really? In low sec? FFS, just have all the weapon systems on all neutral ships disabled as soon as they enter LS then!!!
Soo tell me mr snowflake how you would like it if you had to wait to engage the enemy every time you engaged them in you wh's ? You engage first, you take a security knock, pretty soon you can't go into HS....not every PVP'er wants to be flashy red.. The thick plottens...

Random PVP'ers don't belong in FW plexes. They earn nothing from it but they do gang up on and attack actual players. For the sheer thrill of it. At the very least anything but the FW side of the plex should be attacked by NPCs on sight. More reasonably people who aren't engaged in FW shouldn't be allowed into FW plexes at all.
Those random pvpers sound awesome, can I join? Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

I really really enjoy killing neutrals. I actually kill more neutrals then Gallente these days. Just give them a suspect timer when entering, problem solved. Why would I restrict access? I like having more targets. |

@OP: Learn to set-up your overview. you should be able to see someone belonging to your faction, EVEN if his sec is below -5. stop crying just because you're bad. Google for overviews and how to set-them up. There's loads of presets out there.
Besides, most of them FW risk averse farmers don't put their isk on the line anyway. I'd go one step further and say :
Acceleration Gates should DENY access to any ship with a warp-core stab fitted. YES, it should. that would be the a nice way the balance between risk & reward would be restored in FW, really. Not having to commit to a fight and getting derpy amounts of isk for an almost AFKish activity and protected by an acceleration gate which makes it almost impossible for someone to land right on top of you. Great mechanic.
now, OP, HTFU ad deal with it. fit stabs like the rest of the FW poodles.

PVE to offset sec hits. Works for 0.0. Do a few low sec roams if 0.0 is dead rat away any sec hits.
Don't kill pods. Lessens ths sec hits over time. What means more, sec status not going as bad as fast or padding isk effieciency with a pod kill with implants. If the latter well then they can enjoy that pretty number running loops in sb's at some point a bit longer.
Wait for first shot. Works off gate just as well as on one.
or do what most low sec peeps do when running loops does not thrill them. Go slum it on 0.0 for a bit. Most 0.0 crews are happy to take in good low sec skirmishers as they have some skill usually. And you know up front why they are there...to fix status. At least they get someone with a pvp history for a bit till they clear the sec status. Know more about them than a guy walking in off the streets of empire. Is he a nullbear, a pvp'er, or a mix of both? |

You can get out of there whenever you damn-well please, just like any mission runner or explorer can get out of his lowsec site when it's getting too hot. There's no god-given right for FWers to earn LPs under all circumstances. |

Same demand/request comes up every time a newcomer realises that being a militia conscript means wading through rats and other vermin more than it allows for shooting 'real' enemies
Pirates/Neutrals are and have always been a big part of what keeps FW alive, without them it would have degenerated into a 100% pure farming experience rather than the 85% it is.
Now, if CCP would only sit their asses down and cook up a scheme that allows pirates to participate proper in the landgrab so we could have a full on menage-a-trois, complete with tears, blood and forum bashing.
Ought to do away with most farming as every plex, regardless of location and size, would have value to more than one party. |

I would like to keep random PVP'ers from entering any Signatures or Anomalies once someone else has already entered them unless fleeted with the person initiating the site. I would also like for this to include but not limited to: missions, asteroid belts, wormholes and stations.
All PVE'ers are fine to enter however. |

Use tags, kill a rat, HTFU! As it stands now, even if you aggress someone first, if they shoot back and reciprocate hostile actions, and so long as you don't pod them, your sec loss is SO minimal that up to a few battleship rats in a belt will do the trick. The drop is TINY when they shoot back.
Fitting warp-core stabs should make you require 100% speed before entering warp, not 75%, as your warpcore gets "altered".
For every additional bad suggestion on "bad neutral pirates ruining my bajillion isk farming plan" i'll make an equally derpy suggestion. |

But i would appreciate if all non fw-players entering a fw plex would be handled as if they were of the enemy faction and they would be automatically flagged suspect so that u wont lose ss for engaging them. This would be a good idea. You can yellow box them without going suspect, so I don't think it's a big deal really, just yellow box them and wait for them to aggress first, then probably die a few seconds later if your a terribad pvper flying around in half skilled **** fit ships like me. A far bigger problem is the fact that you're in enemy space with no access to station facilities, while they are usually operating in a home system with off grid boosts, friends to back them up and can go to a staion to ship up at any time, so they have huge advantages. But they account for the majority of pvp in plexes now, taking them out would turn it into a boring lp grindfest, so I don't agree with the OP, I know where he's coming from, but at the end of the day we earn tons of LP to cover our losses, they only get loot to cover theirs so in the end it all balances out pretty well.
yeah but when u r in a brawler u need to get webs and scrams on them fast so u should try to shoot first

now i do fw mostly for pvp and im honest im not rly good at calculating my chances but its fun so who cares. Thing is in my experience u normaly end up fighting neutrals and they normaly hunt u in the plexxes that i dont mind either but why not make it that u wont lose any ss in a plex because its automatically a consense that both parties want to fight (like a duel, but including fleet fights)

It does seem like non-aligned players should at least be attacked by NPCs, and that security status loss should be suspended for FWers within plexes no? Never done FW myself so I'm just going off my theoretical knowledge of it. |
