Bah, the board ate my reply. I'll try this again:
Quote:1.) Allow Alliance participation in Faction Warfare.
Yikes. That would draw sov alliances away from endgame while negating the corps that just want to be in FW.
They need to have a non-sov alliance classification so FW can join forces and be more effective. Maybe limit the number of corps in one and give it a new name like "conglomerates".
Quote:4.) Make plexing a PvP exercise, not a PvE exercise
I like what you put below that, especially the blinking alarm. However, to improve the PvP in plexing, you need to make the PvE more involved. It should require a gang or higher to take one, and they should resemble the new incursion system. The system should also be set up so a corp can plan on bringing a fleet of 10-20 and taking a system in a reasonable amount of time. Right now, taking a system is so out of our control, few bother.
With a system like that, you would increase the amount of gangs and fleets active throughout the day. As anyone in FW will tell you, nothing gets a fleet up faster than a war target fleet roaming around. If you knew exactly where one was and have a time limit to respond, it would increase the urgency to fight them.
And make the bunker a functional space fort, not a space box.
There's other tweaks I would like. An occupancy meter and LP store consequences for controlling systems come to mind. But I'll stop there for brevity's sake. |

For many of us, faction warfare IS the endgame.
It is the endgame PvP for a lot of the people who stay in FW. However, it can not be the best endgame option for the game of EVE at large. The game needs to be set up for players to be drawn out there.
We all agree FW shouldn't be a repellant. However, it just shouldn't be as strong of a magnet as nul sec for the typical EVE player. |
