Pockets is right,
all vets remember the multi-wave BC fights we had in BC-plexes. Those definatly where my best times in eve.
We did BS fights too - but those mostly where at gates or outside plexes.
These are gone now - totally - CCP made that decision to make FW small ship small gang combat. So they removed the big plexes and introduced the novice plex - the novice plex is nice, but removing the big plexes killed the BS fights.
This was a huge mistake - a plex is nothing but a content filter to keep crap like titan bridges out. The titan bridge was a big mistake in itself, violating the risk to gain equation.
As we where at the end of being active in fw a pirate gang moved to our hq system. Those guys were old school eve pirates that did nothing but station camping - the most lame thing that is in eve. They did not even dare a gate camp and were sticking to our station all day.
The pirates and us did a TS convo - the pirates were suprised to see the fw warzone empty. No fleets around, no roams. They voiced this, being back after a 2 year break, and seeing only farmers, no fleets.
They were hungry for a cruiser fight and we gave them one - that was their only engagment they could organize in 4 to 6 weeks in fw low sec.
Now they moved on, being bored to death.
We stood down from fw - there is nothing to fight in the amarr warzone but pirates.
Docking restrictions are ok - but why is evey thug allowed to dock in fw space? If the enemy milita - the emeny - is not allowed to dock - why can neutrals dock? |

Docking denial does not work as long as you can leave milita within a click.
Remember the bosboger campaign?
FW space is a concord created arena theatre - not a war zone.
Make only the controlling milita be able to dock . Pirates would need to roam and live in non fw low sec.
Logistics would be harder. Switching a system would matter - because when you asset get locked in you have an incentive to get the system back.
And enemy milita should not be able to dock in high sec - it makes no sense to let the emeny not dock in fw low - but in 1.0 high.
it would be fun to be able to dock in the ihub too and be able to increase its defences with LP.
There are so many ways to create content in fw.
FW would thrive if there would be some more militant thinking in it. |

Oki - let us look at the facts:
We have 3294 null sec systems in eve - most are deserted, noone lives there and it is useless to go there because the lack of content. Null bear space is the most safe space in the game, because noone wants to go there.
We have 1212 high sec Systems in eve - about 90% of capsuleers live there and nearly all industry is done there. Most ppl that think they are "PVP" guys do nothing but high sec wars and high sec ganking - but has only very small pvp content and is wanking in ist core.
We have 2497 wh Systems in eve - those are totally deserted, but a small part of capsuleers about 1-2% live or migrates there - which is a fault of ccp beause they simply forgot not make anchoring posses in whs not possilble.
We have 695 low sec systems in eve, about 10% of capsuleers live or roam here. |

Ppl do not realize how right pockets sadly is.
The battle of B-R5RB crap was paid by fw isk to at least two thirds, if not 90%. No profession in eve pays as good as fw farming - including scamming and wh - if you compare risk to isk balance.
The 75 titans lost crap - that is as important as 75 rifters lost, because you can easly get a titan per person in 30 days of farming at L3 or 4 in fw. It will take you 3-4 hours a day (you get 40 to 60 bil that way, more if you press and have some organization). You can buy lots of toons too . . . you can even get the toon with fw isk.
I do personally know pirates that did that.
What fw guys do not realize is that about of estimated 80% of their respective milita in amarr, minmatar and caldari are only russ and null farmers. In cal mil the percentage is even higher.
Those farmers - being afk or bot famring, farm for hour every **** day.
I personally have no interest in hunting them, because is is absolutly useless. Boring, non-combat activities, my game time is not worth it - I go play world of tanks instead, 100% pvp.
The problem is CCP - they said that BCs where used too much - and made them absoulte useless. Same what happend to BSs before.
They said fw is dead and with inferno they made it free isk for all.
Balance is what matters.
I know it is difficult to balance things out.
But a large unrestricted plex will be of absoluttly no worth.
A restriceted BC plex would bring BCs onf field in an instance.
As I lived in eha in cal mil we attacked oics next door and fought 3 to 4 times in a row in BCs - and our frig gangs even got bridged on by pirates.
So the game mechanic problems are quite clear.
Bridging should only be possible in null space - because all null bear allies would crush in 3 weeks, if those gyus had to move their fleets though gates and bubbles. Leave the null bears to their boring life.
Low sec should be about gate and plex combat. |

Funny to see that some eve players do not know **** about the game.
Fact remains.
Faction warfare is not playeed by fw guys to a big extent - it is played by null and russ farmers. Those are the dominating forces.
Fw is only there to provide null guys with free isk - no other explanation suffices.
Fw is not about new players - they usually do not have 4 to 5 farming chars or use bots.
New players have a hard time even to sort out which guys to shoot or not shoot - due to OV mess.
If ccp wants more titan kills - dunno why , all farmers plex the farming chars with fw isk - it would be faster and more easy to fill a rifters cargohold with plex and blow it up.
Assigining fighters is not possible in all low sec - why is titan bridging possible in all low sec? |

Not good to apologize for you own opinion.
There will always be ppl that do not get the bigger picture - that is life.
I could undock any time and do frig pvp - I did that in cal and amarr mili. I have the option to hunt afk plex bots or wts doing missions - both is absolute not worth my game time.
The problem is the fw zone as an whole is dying, fw corps and its player base too.
Eve is becoming world of warcraft - because of free isk.
The null bears always complain about some cloaky campers - null bears should imagine what it does to their game when literally thousands of afk bots would swarm their systems and run all their heavens.
Or wh guys - how would they feel when thousands of afk bots would run all their sites?
The problem with a **** storm is not the storm - it is the ****. |

The problem is not mission farming or plex farming - it is the impact free isk has on the whole game.
The balance of rats of different races would be an easy to fix problem.
The main problems are:
-Free isk destroys eve's economy and thus warfare (free titans). Poor game mechanics make the free titans kill game content (bridges in low sec). This system is pure inflation and subdues fw to the broken null sec game design.
-Farmers wage and decide the faction war. This is a massive blow to content, as null bears now controll fw low sec. Fw pilots do not decide fw war, in fact the pirates are more active in the fw zone than the militas.
Imagine fw farmers would control null bear sov . . . . |

Above statements are true in a specific setting, but what is isk?
In fact all isk is either created from sone sort of pve - that is the foundation of all eve economy. All pve is nothing put a players game time - usually wastest on some form of grinding and boring activity. Maybe eve can grow in a way that pve would be based on players interaction.
Eve is - historically, the second generation of ultima online - we are wittnesses and actors alike in a historical game development process.
The other source of isk is plex.
So isk is a mixed currency of players game time and plex - so real money. Money itself also has no value on itself today and is only a trade tool, that is completly virtual today.
With some fw missions and conversion of lp to isk you can easily made insane amounts of isk - many players use their isk to plex their toons.
Missioins create insane amounts of lp - so lp is a currency of its own, the only differnce is that lp can only be traded to ccp and not other players.
There is no sink of currency in an economy - there is only transformation. |
