The apoc 1.5 patch was a very good improvement for fw. I don't think CCP has given up on FW. I do think they are trying to make eve into a total sci fi universe including other things than flying spaceships. Its a big idea and I hope it works out. Its just not going to be popular for people like us who play fw now.

The npcs and the structures wouldn't be necessary if we just let the actual players know when a plex was entered. Just make a intel channel that will post things like:
"Cearain,amarr,destroyer,minor,auga"
This would be posted automatically and no players could post anything in this channel. There would be 1 channel covering the amarr minmatar regions and another covering the caldari gallente regions. But all fw participants would have access to both.
That way we will end the silly hide and seek plexing. Plus doing plexes won't be so damn boring. It will actually be a fun way to pvp. If occupancy plexing was actually fun we would no longer need to try to build in carrots and sticks to get people to "grind" them.

There are already channels where you can do this, it just required 5-6 guys patrolling (travelling through) low sec space looking for trouble and then physically typing the words.
Consider this: For offensive plexes the npcs of the militia are already there. (and for defensive plexes there is a plex to capure so that plex would presumably have some sort of enemy presence - even if it is just a non combat spy- that should alert the opposing militia) Why is it they do not let the rest of the militia know they are under attack? I mean how is that even *conceivable* that no one would ever communicate to the militia that they are under attack? By entering a plex you are in essence taking over the other players space (offensive) or kicking out rebels (albeit not military rebels) that have established themselves in your space (defensive). This is not some secret mission that the other militia wonÆt hear about.
As for wasting a bunch of time jumping from system to system trying to find someone in a plex only to have them run when you find them - well that is the system we have now. Your right it needs to change. Very few people want to do that. The current plexing mechanic is a failure due to it being boring pve.
Having this intel channel would drastically change plexing. Your chances and therefore your *expectations* of being involved in a pvp engagement while plexing will skyrocket. If the other militia was informed where and when you were plexing it would will almost always find a ship or gang similar to the ship and gang you are in (or could get in shortly) within a few jumps. If you let the enemy know where you are they *will* come and come relatively quickly. In other words when you go into a plex you will no longer have the *expectation* that you will be able to cap them without a fight so you will not be there to run at the first sign of trouble. Entering a plex will in essence be an announcement that we are going to kick youÆre a__ out of here unless you come and stop us.
If you want to pve in fw you will do missions. If you want to pvp you will do plexes. Hence it will turn plexing into a fun pvp activity instead of the boring hide and seek pve activity it is now.
This intel channel would make fw plexing a bloodbath! Small gang and solo fights would be going on constantly. If they did this I bet people would plex like crazy and people would joing fw in droves. And winning occupancy would indeed be a real accomplishment- not just proof you can endure endless hours of boring grinding.
