The FW missions need balancing amongst the factions. Minnie and Caldari missions need to be made easier or Amarr and gallente more difficult. The later is probably easier to implement and with all FW missions requiring robust ships and/or teams of players to do it would encourage fights, which is what FW is about.

Except that we will still have to spam HICs to keep them on field long enough .. gets worse as their numbers increase as the ridiculous ECM burst can essentially perma-jam an entire fleet once SC count goes double digit.

Remove immunity when outside own sovereignty!

Either that or hit them with draconian limits like the Titan's and their inability to DD in low-sec .. kill off remote burst in LS and we won't have to field 2-3 HICs per SC to insure they stay put.

Sov Wars - I did a poll about taking away the navy NPC's in high sec. Pretty interesting responses so far.

You do not still have any good ideas how to make fw better.

You are stuck on idea that nerfing missions solve something or forcing people to do something.

Ideas has to be so cool that everyone want to plex after those and without rewards. Then you have something.

I would like it if when I was in a races complex there was a boost to the sensor strength of that race's ships. So in an amarr complex all amarr ships would get a huge boost to radar sensor strength. All ships in Gallente complexs would get a boost to Magnometric, all ships in minmatar would get a boost to ladar etc.

The idea would be that the complexes are set up to boost their own races ships. So if I am in the amarr militia flying a minmatar ship I would still get the bonus if I am in a minmatar complex.

The bonus would be considerable like 10xs the ship sensor strength. In other words ecm would be all but pointless if you are facing that factions ships in their own complex.

1) I think this would add some amount of role play even if small

2)) I think this would give some encouragement to fly racial ships. Although it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

3) It would give some small discouragement to using ecm ships and drones in plexes. I don't want to turn this into an ecm needs a nerf thread (I'm actually not really in favor of a nerf to ecm) but I think in the solo and small gang setting ecm is a bit overpowered. A griffin with multi specs can pretty much permajam every bc out there.

I think the vast majority of cearains ideas are ********, why you even read his posts still is beyond me.

Ccp no mention if fw in notes ?

is this another round table momnet again. Looking that way

I would.

Please no more threads covering the same ground.

updates?

This is hands down the possible outcome that I am MOST cynical about, given the current environment.

Unity amongst the Faction Warfare corps is not only difficult to achieve, but also useless in and of itself if there isn't miltia-wide goals to be pursued. Right now, no organized groups of militia corps care enough about "winning" FW enough to make concerted, strategic, cross-timezone and cross-corp efforts to seize and hold occupancy.

There are little pushes here and there, little victories and losses, but no long-term strategic objective.

With a lot of corps scattered geographically, pursuing various territories and engaging a wide range of targets beyond just the enemy faction, there is a lot of room for disagreement and ego-driven disputes about how resources shoudl be shared, decisions made, blues adjusted, etc.

I say we need to get the war started again in earnest for their to be enough incentive for corps to set aside their individuality and self-sufficiency to work together across corp lines.

This could be entirely from my bias as a Minmatar pilot, it may not be the case in other militias.

Hmmm .. didn't they promise a blog where we would be able to see some of what they have planned beyond allowing blobs in?

Start counting, they are already a week late .. hahahahahaha.

Thinking of having a doctor remove my balls before the blue turns darker and gangrene sets in!

You never know, CCP might even show up this time.

BTW, I'm extremely jealous. I wish I could be there to lead the charge. I'm sure you'll do an excellent job though, Har, you've been one of FW's most stalwart defenders. Keep in touch, I'll most certainly have a list of stuff for you to ask them on my behalf!! (Not that I have much to say besides stumping for the top issues in the thread).

I'll definitely check in on that thread when I have some time (still keeping with 789 other threads atm) and see whats being tossed around....but i'm not worried. We all want the same thing in the end, more or less.

Forsoothe! The entire cluster, nay, the UNIVERSE must learn to bow to the Clusterfornication Coalition.
