In the last 2 years I have made a number of threads encouraging this change to EVE.

A combination of changing how sec status interacts with highsec to increase pirate vulnerability there relative to their sec status, opening up pirate stations in those lowsec systems that have no NPC stations currently, changing FW mechanics so that it's harder to farm and adding NPC patrols of either pirate or faction ships (relative to which faction 'owns' the system) would be four changes that together I think would be worthy of an expansion *especially* if these also coincided with pirate faction ship rebalancing.

I support this but ... also i would love to see more low sec. And part of this war to take also in low sec, not just null.

But this is absolutely one of best things (at least for me) that can happen to EvE. I would be loyal AS HELL Corpus or Centus Soldier !

Not sure about who would fight with who ... As far as i can tell you it would be Blood Raiders + Sansha vs Angel + Serpentis. I think Dread Guristas are more friends with Sansha/Blood Raiders than with Angel / Serpentis too. That could lead to some imbalance like 3 factions vs 2 . But in the end EVE is cruel world and is not meant to be FAIR ;).

i would say it could depend on the territory, for example, between Amarr and Caldari we could have war between the Guristas and the Blood Raiders, maybe make it a 3 way warzone, with the Sansha as a third enemy. so we would have 3 way warzones like this:

Amarr/Caldari : Guristas vs Blood Raiders vs Sansha's Nation

Caldari/Minmatar : Blood Raiders vs Angels vs Guristas vs Sansha's Nation ( 4 way warzone)

Gallente/Minmatar : Serpentis vs Blood Raiders vs Angels (Serpentis would be allied with the Angels by default of course)

Gallente/Amarr : Serpentis vs Blood Raiders vs Sansha's Nation

Amarr/Minmatar : Blood Raiders vs Angels vs Sansha's Nation

Caldari/Gallente: Serpentis vs Guristas vs Sansha's Nation

as for the OP, how would this affect the Incursion Rewards?, i mean, would it be a way to get rare blueprints like for example, the Revenant?

I think this would be fantastic. It would be even better if they could actually seize the systems from the FW navies. Toss in some 3 way action and see where it goes.

I'd absolutely love to be able to fly for the Cartel.

I don't think pirates should be in faction war but i believe that players should be able to join and fly for pirates corps. Think more of a jihad sort of game play. Pirate players join said faction, take missions to kill players of other factions for booty(akin to what a pirate would really do), Raid highsec in player supported incursions. What is a player run incursion you ask. Well it is a incursion that pirate players can go in and fight along side the regular rats without any repercussions from concord. These raids act as a normal incursion except the addition of players with the normal rats. Objective is as long as players keep the bar on the rats side, the incursion stays, think beachhead. The slaughter would be glorious, tears would flow when pirates start to hold highsec for periods of time. How would a -10 pirate get there, easy wormhole like sansha already do. Players would have to turn to powerful allies to help fight them off. The blood would stain the stars. Make rewards for players be worth the effort but not to great that pirate ships become the next isk sink. They could limit the rewards to implants like the concord incursions do. In lowsec they could take space the same way the fw pilots do but i believe that would bore the type off player that wants to be a pirate. Plus a pirate is abut raids not holding space if you want that join regular fw.

if you read the end it states, that the type of pilot who wants to fly for the pirates probably wouldn't want to own space. I added the ability just as a after thought. In hind sight i should not of added it at all. The ability to invade and hold high sec hostage, even for a short time, would be enough to make this game play fun. Also it goes more with what pirates would actually want to do. To add pirates to the FW mechanic would just not make sense. Now taking missions to disrupt faction war, that sounds like a pirate thing to do. missions could be to kill so many pilots, collect so many frozen corpses, Raid I-hub bashes and such.

Pirate FacWar sounds keen, but it's going to be a 0.0 thing, and joining a pirate faction is going to have to have to some pretty horrible consequences for your empire and CONCORD standings.

Am I seriously the only one that noticed this post. What do you know that you're not telling us? :)
