ABRAXAS ZER0 Sharpe TEC 0	Posted - 2014.10.10 07:35:00 - [1] - Quote actually i know that FW so so so gr8 but i don't know anything about the disadvantages of the FW
Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation Abyss Alliance 558	Posted - 2014.10.10 10:50:00 - [2] - Quote Ruined standings. Limited coordination - FW corps are easy targets for spies which limits most fleets/ops. Boring repetitive mechanics like button spinning. Hordes of alts.
IbanezLaney The Church of Awesome Caldari State Capturing 1269	Posted - 2014.10.10 11:26:00 - [3] - Quote It all depends. If you join Caldari there are no disadvantages. If you join Gallente - your basic maths skills including the ability to count will suffer. If you join Amarr or Minmatar you will have nothing to do most of the time apart from being blown up a lot by purples because everyone knows only awoxers join those two factions. Docked since 2009.
Icarius The Wings of Maak Defiant Legacy 20	Posted - 2014.10.10 11:40:00 - [4] - Quote There is no real disadvantages, regarding advantages... As example, if you are running a mission in hi sec while enrolled in fw, you may have an additional officier spawn for each mission while you will be protected by a faction police spawn Join caldari / amarr fw !!! aditionnal content granted
Bad Messenger Nasranite Watch 817	Posted - 2014.10.10 13:27:00 - [5] - Quote when you are in militia enemy highsec access turn bit complicated because of npc, you may lose standings if you do wrong things, but usually this is not problem if you know what you do. personally i have been in milita from 2008 and now when i am not in militia i can access every highsec freely.
Oreb Wing Windrammers Bohica Empire 35	Posted - 2014.10.10 21:27:00 - [6] - Quote Standings plummeting due to neutrals. There should be a system in place for flagging non-fw pilots that enter fw warzones, adding to that they will bump my sec. status UP for policing my territory by shooting these criminal suspects. But somebody pinch me already... This is past dreaming up. Maybe a flag for activating a plex acceleration gate? I'm confused why a soldier would become red as a pirate by doing his duty. As it is, we are more vigilantes, fanatics, or radicals. ..i guess I'm cool with that too.. Sec tags ftw, because gate guns are best when they're friends

Bienator II madmen of the skies 2874	Posted - 2014.10.10 22:52:00 - [8] - Quote nightmares eve style bounties (done) dust boarding parties imagine there is war and everybody cloaks - join FW

Gonna assume thats a reply to someone else because it doesnt really make sense in the context of orebs post. However, in relation to orebs post i have no problem losing sec status, but i do remember days where i did. Choosing between shooting first and not being allowed in high sec and shooting last and dying in a dps race or worse, getting kited, is a hard one for those without sufficient alts.

If I can get away with fighting neuts, great, but you're missing the point by not seeing the penalty and broken illusion of being a cool freedom fighter for your faction. This is just my view. You don't have to like it, but its a common interruption (though welcome content) to our agenda.

If you join Caldari your allied militia won't go across the space just to awox you cause they suck. If you join Amarr your allied militia will go across the space just to awox you cause they suck and sometimes just (by accident) lack even a single system to be based of. edit to make the post at least a bit informative: FW is good money but only once in a while, and only after you've skilled enough to do level 4 missions. Before that you earn by starring at a timer, running away from anyone, and it can add up to as little as 20-30 M/hour. Your money comes from buyin LP store items and selling them for isk, so you also need some money to a) start buying at LP store b) transport your goods to the hub. IT can be taxing for a beginner, so help from a good corp would be welcome. From what I notice around my parts and remember from my humble (pitiful?) beginning you get chased of a plex/deplex ever 5 minutes by players you have no chance of going against in ships you cannot dream to engage in your T1 frig. They will call you farmer for that :P When you have enough patience/hobbys you can fulfill listening to radio and watching timers in eve go down, you will accumulate the SP and cash required to pvp properly and be happy ever after. Awoxing contrary to the Caldari dude doesn't happen too much, but yeah - there's a certain level of distrust among the militias. In Amarr from what I've seen it tends to go into rare war decs and, for me, it makes it a really legit militia where you can at least assume the other dude is a sane and mature person. On a side note - go Amarr and experience how awesome it is to look down at trivialities of other militia. Grass is greener over here ;-) "NUTS!!!" - general McAuliffe
X Gallentius Justified Chaos Spaceship Bebop 2594	Posted - 2014.10.13 13:58:00 - [12] - Quote Too much small scale pvp. Distorts timescales. You'll start thinking anywhere else in the game is f'ing boring with no action. You'll start questioning the very foundations of Eve as well. "I don't need an alt to make isk? I can make plenty of it while getting nonstop fights all the time?" You'll be forced to use Courier contracts to move stuff to market if you're Gallente. The side effect is that you'll realize you can actually pay somebody else to do the boring work in game while you are making isk pvp'ing. Some guys are less inclined to go into null sec space because they have ridiculously expensive implants - others don't care about implants because they can easily afford them. What else? You won't be able to sit on a Titan for 7 hours a day waiting for the perfect hotdrop. This of course means less time for you to surf thechive.com for interesting 'articles' to 'read'. I think that about covers it.

To put that in perspective, I got bored of RvB in less than a week because I got more action in FW.

As it is, we are more vigilantes, fanatics, or radicals. ..i guess I'm cool with that too.. Sec tags ftw, because gate guns are best when they're friends I just enlisted in the militia a few weeks back and I actually feel pretty much the same way. I care about my security standing, because I am here, fighting for the cause of the Caldari State! Anyone entering a complex not associated with the Caldari Militia should be free game for me as part of the Caldari Militia. Now I wouldn't take it as far as saying they should be free game every where as there are miners and traders which support the militia as well. But anything entering a complex not associated with you, is a war target! Thats just my 2 Cents about that! Concerning your question: 1. Steep learning curve! 2. Can be expensive, if you are a noob like me! * 3. It can ruin your faction and security standing But: - being hunted - fighting the elite in new eden - the adrenaline of engagement - earning great amounts of Loyalty Points - everything you can do in high sec is more thrilling in low sec makes it all worth it!** Many talk about the ISK you will be making, I am new in the militia and so far my losses out weight my monetary gains by far. * can be fixed Tanking since 1982 Reporting Caldari Faction Warfare news on www.caldarinews.wordpress.com

Honestly, the benefits of of the militia life greately outweigh the disadvantages. - Crimson Draufgange, CEO of Extreme Overkill Inc.

This right here. Even being GalMil, with no natural access to Jita markets, resupply is never an issue. There's so many militia industry types and jump freighter services that I never even have to worry about contracting to Black Frog. We Gallente have a saying: "CCP created the Gallente Militia to train the Fighters..."

Nah op asked why is it bad.. Well it is as God's Apple said, you are blue to half of lowsec which limits the number of possible victims. At least I don't like to shoot blues but I just leave that to your discretion signature
