Good evening. Many of you might remember me. Most wont. I was not a pilot of any great consequence or deed. I've come to peek my head back with the news of the new CSM elections and to see if there is any (worthy) candidate and what the issues FW is having and if any have at all been resolved. I missed some of you bastards something fierce, but when I saw Citadels loom and overshadow the greatness of FW system conflicts, alongside with various minor changes which enabled Gallente FW missions to be gamed, I was struck too much with sadness to continue. Like a despondent Robert E. Howard, I walked out of the clinic and off'ed myself for a while. Fortunately, I am immortal and found myself back here in some way or another, and after reading some lengthy FW threads here, a little less whole than I imagined. In honesty, I have not even attempted to log into Eve just yet. Alpha Clone status has been the only thing that enabled me to roam around here like a gossamer ghost of my former self, hopeful, yet translucent.
tl;dr: 2nd post skips the lame history to present what appears to be the current (unchanged) state of events.
I see that FW life is still suffering from the coming of Citadels - of which, some might remember, I was in ardent opposition to. I take no pleasure in the fact that some of my apprehensions were prophetic..
For those that will say I had nothing to contribute, I will lay my defense in brief. You can contest it if you wish. I helped bring about the breaking away of the stubborn use of only meta4 modules, when 1-3 were considered worthless and before they were restructured to specialization. When these began to rise in price or decrease in availability (you see, I have always been a dirty half-breed of an indie) I pushed and tried to convince others to simply buy BPO's of the meta 0 originals and mass produce them, given, at a loss, for the sake of convenience and maximum effect in blobiness and healthy stockpiles. I tried to push PI on some folks, as it afforded me much cruiser and sub-cruiser flying and extra beer/minmatar slave-girl money. This, as it was much more complicated, never caught on with many. I continued to sell t2 small arms and the most used modules such as t2 armor plates, DCU's, damage mods, and warp disruption modules (webs and points). It was a good life. Until the best faction (Gallente of course!) went down the road of the mission farming epidemic. For years, you see, The Federation was free of this impurity and poison in the fact that the ewar NPC's (jamming! alas, they were Caldari) made it nearly impossible for so long that only a few good ol dogs did them here or there. Nothing like how easy Amarr or Minmatar missions have always been, with the Squid missions not so expeditiously done but still far below the level of availability of Gallente missions. You see, no one really did them. Gallente FW pilots were always the button spinners (post Inferno) and odd entrepreneurs, each with a peculiar craft. In honesty, most of us PLEX'ed to get our thrills. The good ol days, before goons dumped on our pvp payouts and an Incursus could tank a legion of brainless NPC's for a Large plex. It was the dawn of the Incursus - how she shined! across every large throughout FW dukedom.
I was a wee lad to pvp in those days, ne'er had I yet laid eyes on the fair Comet, the hussy that, in times to come, stole my heart and chained it to her service forever henceforth. What I thought would be forever.
You see, FW missions hardly changed at all much, though they remain the single greatest dynamic in FW tier and sovereignty influence, manipulation, and stagnation. Many have not seen eye to eye, but it being the eye of the amblyopic FW mission running addict, I dare say, was the reason for difference to that point.
Now we have Citadels to thank for an even greater portion of the added stagnation. For not too many pilots knew of the riches which could be found in the labor of agents who never tired giving missions without collateral or consequence, on the hour; nay, they contented themselves with the scraps that fell from the tier table, 2 or 3 spans above their heads. Indeed, for the common 800dps Thorax it was more than enough. Even now it might seem as though the spinners have the best of it, and the Scrooges chortle and cackle in their golden Citadels. ...lol but to the point now. Here we go: |

Dual-timers are good because they make defensive plexing that much less ****y. I also had the idea that the button should be destructable, which would cause a timer, irrespective of which side is running it, to count down when there is no pilot present within the warp-in radius. The best of both worlds. |

The buff for high sec faction navy. I would suggest a stationary turret with FW navy aggression AI over every station and gate in systems .6 and above. With added turret for .8 and .9 systems. |

Yours is always a good face to see,Than. Glad you're still taking a central role in FW.
I've since learned it's better to take a small break than burn bridges. Sometimes I take Eve a little too much to heart. But what! does CCP think this is a game! |

You know nothing about that, easy you said ... well let see your kills in ennemy hi 'sec". The problem is not the strengh of the faction navy but its stupidity and how it has been designed(with feets). Result : all the fw spawns can be moved to waste their fire power to a magic neutral drone, its not a question of strengh at all, just lame |

Maybe I should draw you a little picture. You cannot lead the turret away if it works the same way as a gate gun. It doesn't matter where the navy is and they can leave that borked mechanic alone and implement this so that it emulates the parameters of engaging enemy faction pilots. |

Glad to see you back.
