I have put together some information for new FW corps and pilots that have just entered FW. Please read it if you are new. If any FW vet has something to add please add it and I will update the post to reflect the changes/ edits.
The New FW
Intention: This is intended to be a guide for how the new fw works as well as the new mechanics affecting station lock out, flipping systems and rewards.
Station Lock Out: Simply put you cannot dock in any system owned by the opposing faction in low sec. All high sec stations are dock able whether you are at war with the faction or not. There are several outlying systems that are outside of the FW space which can be docked in. Not all LS systems are FW.
Plexing What is it and Why do it:
What is Plexing used For: Plexing is the method for progressively flipping systems. You cannot take over a system (make vulnerable) without plexing. There are two types of plexing: Offensive and Defensive.
The Mechanics of Plexing GÇô Plexing is simple, use your on board system scanner when not in warp and the scanner will display different types of anomalies. These anomalies are classified into 4 types. Minor (enter name), Major (enter name), Unrestricted Major (enter name) and (enter name) plexes.
The anomalies that do not have a minor/major/unrestricted tag our classified as medium plexes.
Minor Plexes can only be enter by destroyers, t1 frigs , and faction frigs. You warp to the anomaly on your scanner (or overview) at 10 and you will land at a gate. Take the gate in to enter. When you warp in you will be immediately located at a beacon. This is called the warp in. Every ship will land here. You will see a timer with a logo of the faction that owns the plex. This is called the button. It is a timer. All minor plexes have a 10 minute timer and you must be within 10km of the button to run the timer down. There are 3 additional spawns triggered on a timer in addition to the spawns that are there upon warp in. Minors can be solod easily in almost any t1 ship fit for pvp. You can also GÇ£speed tankGÇ¥ minors. Killing rats yields tags a meta loot, the tags are what you get instead of bounties like normal rats. The rats do NOT improve your sec status and will decrease your standing with the faction you are at war with. Once the you capture the system you will see a green comment in local saying GÇ£Site has been successfully capturedGÇ¥. You will also receive a mail from your faction saying how many LP points you received for capturing the site.
Minor Plexes are worth 10k LP (at teir 1) split amongst everyone on the button. The higher warzone control tier you are the more LP you get from the plex.
Medium Plexes can only be entered by T1 Cruisers and faction cruisers down. Nothing above T1 cruiser can enter. Take the gate in to enter. When you warp in you will be immediately located at a beacon. This is called the warp in. Every ship will land here. You will see a timer with a logo of the faction that owns the plex. This is called the button. It is a timer. All medium plexes have a 15 minute timer and you must be within 20km of the button to run the timer down. There are 3 additional spawns triggered on a timer in addition to the spawns that are there upon warp in. Mediums can be solod easily in almost any t1 cruiser fit for pvp. You can also GÇ£speed tankGÇ¥ mediums using frigates. Killing rats yields tags a meta loot, the tags are what you get instead of bounties like normal rats. The rats do NOT improve your sec status and will decrease your standing with the faction you are at war with. Once the you capture the system you will see a green comment in local saying GÇ£Site has been successfully capturedGÇ¥. You will also receive a mail from your faction saying how many LP points you received for capturing the site.
Medium Plexes are worth 15k LP (at teir 1) split amongst everyone on the button. The higher warzone control tier you are the more LP you get from the plex.

Major Plexes can only be entered by BCs down. Nothing about battle cruisers can enter. Take the gate in to enter. When you warp in you will be immediately located at a beacon. This is called the warp in. Every ship will land here. You will see a timer with a logo of the faction that owns the plex. This is called the button. It is a timer. All major plexes have a 20 minute timer and you must be within 25km of the button to run the timer down. There are 3 additional spawns triggered on a timer in addition to the spawns that are there upon warp in. Majors can be solod easily in almost any battle cruiser fit for pvp. You can also GÇ£speed tankGÇ¥ majors using frigates. Killing rats yields tags a meta loot, the tags are what you get instead of bounties like normal rats. The rats do NOT improve your sec status and will decrease your standing with the faction you are at war with. Once the you capture the system you will see a green comment in local saying GÇ£Site has been successfully capturedGÇ¥. You will also receive a mail from your faction saying how many LP points you received for capturing the site.
Major Plexes are worth 20k LP (at teir 1) split amongst everyone on the button. The higher warzone control tier you are the more LP you get from the plex. The tags in the majors are worth the most. If you are going to kill the rats be sure to loot all the cruiser and bs wrecks
Unrestricted Plexes allow any type of ship in the system and DOES NOT have a warp in. When you warp to the site you immediately are in the site. There are many rats already spawned. These plexes have 30 minute timers and you need to be within 35k of the button. These are the most difficult plexes and yield a great amount of value in tags.
Unrestricted plexes are worth 30k LP (at tier 1) split amongst everyone on the button. The higher warzone control tier you are the more LP you get from the plex.
Defensive Plexing is the term for a pilot to run a plex in his own factions space. The pilot must adhere to the same mechanics as in offensive plexing however the RATS ARE FRIENDLY. DO NOT SHOOT THEM. Defensive plexing reduces the contestation of a system by approximately 1.2%. Defensive plexing yields no rewards in its current state.
System Contestation, Plex Spawns and System Vulnerability.
Every plex you take is an approximately 1% boast in contesting the system. You need to make the system 100% contested in order to make a system vulnerable. Once a system is vulnerable the attackers can destroy the Infrastructure hub (IHUB/Bunker). Once the Bunker is destroyed the system changes ownership. With the new changes Bunkers are easier to destroy due to a signature increase.
Plexes spawn approximately 30 mins from the capture time. With the new release spawn times are not GÇ£systematicGÇ¥ as they were re-patch due to some bugs. A GÇ£pile upGÇ¥ occurs when a system is not plexed for periods of time. Plexes will pile up and allow pilots to run many plexes at once. This can give you a head start to flipping a systemGÇÖs contestation percent.

System Upgrades and Warzone Control
There are two types of GÇ£upgradesGÇ¥ system upgrades and warzone control. System upgrades have 5 tiers and a buffer. Warzone control has 4 levels of tiers. The number of systems and the tier upgrades influence warzone control. An upgraded system receives station bonuses for clones, broker fees and industrial slots available. Warzone control effects the amount of LP received from taking a plex and how much your LP rewards cost. At Level 3 warzone control LP rewards equate to the old system.
IE: Faction Frig = 10k LP
IMPORTANT: A system can be contested and still be upgraded to lvl 5. The level of the system upgrade is NOT effected by the contestation.
Systems are upgraded by pilots contributing LP into the IHUB. Warp to IHUB at zero right click and select IHUB control Settings. Each Tier cost approximately 20k LP. There is a buffer of 50k LP that can be dumped into a system after Tier 5
When an opposing faction pilot captures a plex half that lp that is earned is drawn directly from the IHUB if there is any LP inside it. If an IHUB has zero LP the pilot still receives the full amount of LP for capturing the plex. This is why a buffer is important. If you upgrade a system to T5 with no buffer a single plex captured reduces that system to T4.
New PVP / FW Tips
If you are new to PVP and FW I recommend fitting up a destroyer or t1 frig and staying in the minor plexes. You will only have to fight ships that can enter the given plex without worrying about bigger ships ganking you.
Learn to use GÇ£short scanGÇ¥ Short scan is 21,000,000 on the dscanner. This will tell you if there are ships on the acceleration gate and what type.
Take a look at the Faction Warefare Console (under business) It has been updated and provides a lot of helpful information/
If you are new to FW but not PVP ask in the militia channel for which corps are the GÇ£veteranGÇ¥ fw players. Most factions have a dedicated GÇ£organizationGÇ¥ that works together instead of separate corps flying by the seat of their pants. Find out the GÇ£whoGÇÖs whoGÇÖs listGÇ¥ and contact those pilots. This will ensure you are being the most effective and you get the best fights.

Thanks for the guide!
I've heard there are 50% discounts for implants but couldn't "trigger" them on test server. What exactly do I need / have to do to get that 50% discount?
Also how to grind faction standings back? "Parallel faction" corp missions? (like grinding minmatar missions to get standings with gallente) |

50% rewards our at T3 level I belive
Standings I went from Gallente to caldari and I did plexing. Thats the best way imo to get the standings fixed.

1 Minor addition. defensive plexes do offer a reward. the offer a standings boost to state protectorate, actually a higher one then offensive plexing. this is actually a very nice thing because every time you get promoted which is based on standings it gives a huge faction boost to your state standings. |

I would like to know which actions trigger a standings drop with the opposing faction. Is it possible to have fun in FW without ruining one's standings? Is it possible to meaningfully contribute to FW without ruining standings? |

Thanks for answer! Thought it's not clear - T3 level of what? Solar system upgrade level, personal rank?
I've checked different systems (including lvl5 upgrade) on Sisi but with my starter FW rank I couldn't find any discounts for implants - just almost standard prices (67.5k LP + 67m ISK as I remember) while expected something like 35k LP + 35m
Faction grind - you mean if I'll be in Caldari militia and I'll lose standings with Gallente I'll be able to switch to Gallente militia and improve standings in plexes having -10 stand? |

hes refering to FW rank. if you click on FW in the neocomm under business it will list what tier it is at top t1 = worst lp t2 = bad lp t3 = normal t4 = good t5 = best. its based on how many systems your side controls + what level they are |

Will be sending my new recruits to read this information Bolster. It saves me having to explain it all again and again. Appreciate it.
Hopefully this can help all factions get more people involved in Faction Warfare.

I was told mediums allow t3s in. I'm not sure if that is true. I don't think I ever saw one in there.
Mediums and minors will take their toll on any armor buffer tank fits if you are flying for the amarr.

Excellent guide, Bolster, for those who like to plex.
For a Caldari, you can be pretty alright. ( Had to do it. :P )
Win or lose, it's just a game. Respect your enemies and your teammates. |

Ill admit I am not that good at pve. But I have spent some time trying to figure out how to tank the minmatar rats.
But unless your pretty much in a heavy missile drake you will not be able to solo these easilly. That is you won't be able to keep doing them without docking to repair or replenish your cap boosters.
If I am wrong please post your pvp BC fits that you use to easilly take these plexes.

Very much so. I like to use destroyers for the minors. There are a ton of fits that are really good. You will have to choose something you think is competitive with the FOTM ships and fly them to counter those.
A couple weeks ago long range dessys were the rage in Cal V Gal space. The incursus and merlin buffs changed that so they could mwd quickly into the dessy and get under the guns.
When things like this happen you need to be able surprise the guy by rocking a 200mm AC thrasher or whatever.
I havent flown the merlin or incursus since the buff but I have seen incursus do nasty things

Good guide! Thanks Bolster.
Your short scan range is a bit high though at 21 million km. I find 200,000 works nicely for detecting ships on your accel gate.

The standings/captures to get next rank seem to have changed also since the patch. More captures needed to get to next rank.
Can someone confirm?
Here is the old matrix for Gallente:
(This is from else someone who posted in forums years ago, so I have no credit in this)
Breakdown per rank:
1 Federation Minuteman: 0
2 Defender Lieutenant: 4 (+4)
3 Guardian Lieutenant: 10 (+6)
4 Lieutenant Sentinel: 19 (+9)
5 Shield Commander: 37 (+18)
6 Aegis Commander: 65 (+28)
7 Vice Commander: 108 (+43)
8 Major General: 177 (+69)
9 Lieutenant General: 292 (+115)
10 Luminaire General: 522 (+230)
Defensive plex capture standing yield:
1 Federation Minuteman: +3.0%
2 Defender Lieutenant: +2.0959%
3 Guardian Lieutenant: +1.2457%
4 Lieutenant Sentinel: +0.8584%
5 Shield Commander: +0.6425%
6 Aegis Commander: +0.5071%
7 Vice Commander: +0.4152%
8 Major General: +0.3493%
9 Lieutenant General: +0.3%
10 Luminaire General: +0.2619% |
