Hi,
i was under the impression that any faction wartarget in hostile space will be attacked by the Navy on every grid eventually. Seems that is not quite the case, and according to a GM response i had it is not an exploit either. So this is just a heads up for people think they will get Navy support. This is what happened to me:
I missioned in Motsu in my Golem. I was followed by a neutral frigate user who obviously scouted me out in my mission. Then a wartarget (fwguy) warped into my mission and attacked me in a typhoon. I managed to drive him off, but i did not see any support from the navy during the 120 seconds fight. Attached the convo with the guy after the fight:
[21:51:08] fwguy > greetings
[21:51:10] Executus Primus > hows that typhoon
[21:51:20] fwguy > hurting like a walrus
[21:51:33] Executus Primus > how exactly did you evade the navy?
[21:52:01] fwguy > thorough experimentation. i suggest you try it out in minnie/gal space to discover the secret
[21:52:18] Executus Primus > i see
I don't mind fighting wartargets in caldari space, though i was under the impression that i would get support from the navy.
GM just said something about "concord cant be anywhere".

If I recall correctly Faction Navy and Customs ships are only on gates and do not spawn like CONCORD in regular systems. But I am unfamilair with the concept that Faction navy ships acting differently in faction warfare space.
EDIT: Remove all mentioning of GM correspondence and your thread will avoid lockage.

That is not my experience though, they did spawn on stations for example when we entered hostile space. Maybe they just don't enter mission grids? If they don't, it is pretty much a free ganking ticket, since the navy cant really stop anyone from moving through space.

Back on topic: No, navy ships will not warp in and save you during a mission. Neither will CONCORD as FW works like a permanent wardec. The guy who attacked you probably did nothing more than travel to Motsu in a pod/shuttle and had a neutral alt move the typhoon to him in a SS, thus avoiding the sentries and navy on the gates.
Is this comment due to actual experience, or are you talking out of your *ss ? Because everytime i go to gallente space the navy attacks everywhere eventually, not only on the gate. If the navy worked as you described it would be entirely pointless, because who the hell cares about some npc ships at a gate who don't scram. Faction warfare would be all over highsec.
