Regarding LP for FW kills, it would be great if more people involved on the kill would result in less LP per person. Therefore making thing less blobby and enhancing the small gang aspect of FW.
I'm dissapointed to see that docking restrictions is being implemented considering Hans was very opposed to this and voiced it to CCP. And yet CCP is still boneheaded to implement the docking restrictions. Always smiling :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

Punishing and rewarding the militia as a whole for their successes and failures is already going to make any individual's actions feel futile, and the time increase will only make that feeling worse.
Even now, when it takes half a day to conquer a system, there is a feeling among some of the most dedicated plexers that much of what they're doing is futile. What's the point of pushing a system for four hours during EU primetime when you know that the US primetime of your own militia won't be there to finish the job? Now you have to rely on other (mostly apathetic) people for several days.
Got my ships locked in a station? Now it'll take five times as long to get them back. Maybe won't bother spending a a week grinding. I'll just quit FW and go on as before.
Agreed. For some people, it will take a few days to move all their ships to a new system. Not everyone can do it in one night. So instead of fighting, we spend more time on logistics for a few days. Not the ideal way to spend your gaming time.
And to people who say train an alt. Alot of us don't want to spend months training an alt to fly all the various ships our main can fly. I feel sorry for people who can fly practically every ship.
It's all fine and dandy to tell people to HTFU but if half the people don't want to or end up leaving, you won't have a militia to fight along with. So it's a lose-lose situation for everybody. PVP is only as fun as the people you fight along with and against with. Always smiling :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

Hans-
Part of your argument is based on the idea that we don't want to use neutral hauler alts and people are whining about it. This isn't about neutral hauler alts. This is about neutral pilot alts. CCP is telling us that we need to train up a new alt just to pilot every single ship we have that was in locked in station. Wow. So let me spend a few months training my alt to fly every T1 ship and the T2 variants as well . I cannot think of a worse way to spend our training plan than to train an alt just to help us fly ships out of the warzone. Sucks for some of you guys who can pilot caps and expensive shinies eh?
And then others say that we can simply drop corp/militia to get the ships out. Sure, we can do that. That would take us a few nights to move the ships out and back into a safety zone. How long this takes us depends on how many ships a pilot has invested into frontlines. Again, more wasted time. We're spending time on non-combat activities. And don't forget that there are alot of weekend warriors in FW...as there are in other parts of space. So people are saying that it's okay for the weekend warrior to spend his entire weekend dealing with logistics rather than logging on for pew? I guess he just wasted a quarter of his monthly payment by just moving ships.
But then people say; "Well don't train a pilot alt. Just drop corp you whiner!"
Well, don't forget that it takes 24 hours to drop corp if you have roles....so you have to wait longer and become useless to your corp while they're off fighting on some other frontier. And then corpies also miss out on vital corp communications that were sent out when we left. Oh wait. I should just put another alt in corp to avoid missing out on vital details. And when they rejoin, directors need to reassign roles again. A huge headache for those corps who partition hangar bays for certain stations and heavily rely on corp roles to get stuff done. And don't forget about the CEO. He can't just drop corp if he doesn't believe there is someone trustworthy enough to handle corp wallet and other valuable assets.
Some may sweat this stuff and say it sounds melodramatic, but those who are in leadership positions understand that the devil's in the details. Paying attention to the corp operations is what defines the stronger corps from the fly by night operations. This crap just hampers corp operations and takes time away from us to paying attention to the big picture stuff. Like, you know...fighting.
Eve- a game of alts
So much making this part of the sandbox more accessible to others Always smiling :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

Quote:Without going into exhaustive detail:
2. There are 5 levels of discounts for a number of different things - if you own the system and have upgraded it - Medical clone discounts (from 10% in increments of 10 up to 50% discount) - Number of assembly lines increases by 1 for every level - All broker fees discounted (from 10% in increments of 10 up to 50%) - NOTE: You only get these discounts in the FW system - ADDENDUM: These discounts apply to neutrals not in FW
.
CCP- Get rid of the assembly line bonus. It's not like there's a shortage of factory slots in lowsec. And do not allow neutrals to use the discounts mentioned above.
Instead;
Allow for
-faster production time for the assembly lines. Maybe 5% per level up to 25%. -extra research labs. Perhaps 1 extra research lab per level. Though, I'm not even sure if there's enough or any research labs in the FW systems?
These bonuses should apply only to FW pilots. The extra research slots would certainly be of great appeal to the industrialists that is in every major militia corps. All strong militia corps have some sort of industrial backbone and the usage of research labs would greatly benefit militia corps from an indy perspective.
I'm all for pew and having LP for pew, but even all great wars are fueled by elements industrialism. :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

Good idea. That can work too. You can get more output from your PI. Not sure how POCO upgrades would work though as that isn't my expertise.
Of course, I realize that you'll just have some bears (or alts) come and join the winning side but it's gonna happen regardless if it's this, datacores or whatever. I can tolerate some level of exploitation as long as its not game breaking. :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

You cannot win the battle fought on the field until you win the battle that is fought in your mind.
Your proposal of CCP's resetting sovereignty will not fix that which ails your troubled mind, Amarrian soldier

CCP- By implementing docking restrictions, you are also making it very very tough for people to run missions. I won't say impossible but this becomes a major challenge.
People receive damage to their ships and they will need to dock up in order to repair the damage. But now this isn't possible due to docking restrictions. This is especially tough on the newbies. Yet one more way of making FW less accessible. C'est La Eve :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

When I first started FW I was on Minmatar side and to be honest Amarr used to curb stomp us pretty much when ever they wanted to. Minmatar used to throw total crap gangs at Amarr's Guardian supported Abaddon & Geddon gangs to the point there wasn't anything Minmatar guys could do aside from lose a lot of ships or stay docked.
Minmatar's "late night crew" was only a successful late night crew because that's the only time zone Amarr couldn't dominate them.
At the same time Caldari was curb stomping Gallentte and was getting medals for owning every system while Gals were crying about NPC's and that plexing didn't matter. Meanwhile their high sec systems were camped and they couldn't do much about it. Caldari blobs ruled their space and even started coming down to Minmatar space because they couldn't get fights out of Galentte.
Now a year or so later roles are reversed for the time being and Gals/Mins seem to have forgotten how they used to get curb stomped daily while trying to be smug as if it never happened.
It would be very funny to have seen these changes go into effect back then as all these posts would be reversed with Gals & Minmatar crying for resets or that their side wouldn't be able to compete because they are out blobbed and Caldari & Amarr guys telling them to man up.
Absolutely true. We used to be a bunch of bickering tribes more obsessed with a killboard race against each other for 3p33n reasons than actually cooperating to win the war. The Amarr on the other hand had superior organization and a centralized sense of discipline. And you're right, we cut our teeth by throwing crap against well armored BS fleets with proper logi, hoping to take down an expensive ship or two before we lost our cheap stuff. Why did we do this? Because it was fun, and we had a laugh. We griped and griped and griped about the Amarr "blobbing" us to death, and whined about how they would always outship us and outnumber us. It won't be the last time either, eventually they will bounce back and we'll be back to whining again. Welcome to Faction Warfare, where its always the enemy's fault for not "playing fair". Times change. Winners and losers change. The stakes themselves are about to change. But War? War never changes.
Exactly. Which is why there is no need to reset sovereignty for the sake of "fairness"
As the countdown to Inferno continues, I have noticed bigger and bigger fleets formed up on the Caldari side in the past three weeks. Corporations that never flew with each other and are now flying with each other. Corporations that couldn't take on the so-called Jesus Blob aka, Gallente Armada, on their own now stand a fighting chance as they fleet up with the veteran corps. Sometimes they curbstomp the Gallente and sometimes the Gallente curbstomps them.
Anyone who thinks that a reset will fix their problems is hopelessly naive. The issues with the Amarr and Caldari is not something that can be fixed with a reset. A reset will only buy you some time before the inevitable happens. The issues you have is systemic and has been highlighted already. Fix your organizational issues and you will be fine. The Caldari seem to fixing that as we speak.
Stop having such a defeatist attitude. You can win or you can make excuses but you can't do both at the same time.
The day a militia can afford to blob is the day that militia has done one thing right;
- Established diplomatic relationships with other fellow corporations in order to achieve a common goal.
Two militias have done that. One is working on that. And the other (or a few from them) is asking for a reset hoping it will save them. C'est La Eve :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp. Selective recruitment open. http://iamsheriff.com/eagle.html |

The only thing that needs to play out is which side is going to be the winning side or whether some large alliance, will show how great they are, and decide to grind a losing faction to a winning one so they can profit. The mechanics are very well suited for a large null sec alliance to come and do just that. They can easilly quell any opposition just like in sov null sec.
.
Fearmongering at its best. Reminds me of all the fearmongering people did when CCP introduced Alliances and said that various nullsec alliances would come and ruin the FW sandbox. Puhleeez....

And btw Cearain- If you really want to fear monger, do it like this;
There's been secret conversations that the Minmatar will bring down the Gallente and help capture the remaining few systems that the Amarr have thus killing off the Amarr.

Sure, it will be tough and it'll require cooperation and effort on their part, but honestly, I think it will be a good catalyst to inspire cooperation/effort on their part, an element they are sorely lacking.
It will be impossible. We decided to flip Enaluri yesterday. Caldari had their best effort that I've seen in ages, 50 guys all in one system, coming at us over and over again. We just rallied ppl, got more than 50, curbstomped them and then dreadbombed the bunker before they had the chance to run another plex to get it out of vulnerable. They are rebuilding and they can't cope with fighting against superior numbers, more experiencd pilots and better ships. So all in all they are gonna lose system after system. Not only that, but it's a lose lose situation. We win, we have no targets left in lowsec. We lose, we get locked out of stn. IF it's a balance, lots of hours of spinning around a boring button. And once in a blue moon when stars align a dessie fight in a plex. We had a meeting among the corp CEOs recently where I once again tried to push to get fleet fit ships ready and pretty much just got the same flack on the subject. I asked " what happens if Gals show up tomorrow to take Enaluri?" Ironically enough you guys attacked and captured it the next day, so I guess we now see what happens..
I wish I was a fly on the wall for that meeting. I really don't know why these guys would give you flack considering your advice is just common sense stuff. Anyone who has been in the warzone for a month can see the value in your advice.
I barely got to fight yesterday during Enaluri but alot of the GalMil guys were giving Caldari props for rallying that many people. Just imagine how much more competitive it would be if they actually had any sort of organization and fleet doctrine C'est La Eve :) Gallente Militia -áPVP Corp.
