Or better yet, fixing the default overview so that all the little militia newblets know that I am not trying to kill them? We've suggested a default overview pack available for Newbros in the militia channel MOTDs as well as on the FW page, but haven't heard anything from CCP or the CSM on it yet. We have been told that we won't hear details about what Team Space Glitter has in mind until after the CSM summit. It's also worth remembering that there are a limited number of Dev's at CCP so prioritization will likely affect how much stuff they can do.

Some may even be basically repeats of already requested details by many others, but I simply also support. 1) Corp LP Tax We would love it, but not currently feasible since it's a giant mess. Maybe some day we'll get it, but highly doubtful it'll be done in the next year or two. 2) Weapons timers for combat related links. Been asked for for a long time, though I think maybe if we're lucky they'll go halfway and give em a suspect timer 2.5) Also, put links (and logi) on KMs. They affect the outcome of a fight, show it. Could also help differentiate true solo from link-solo when waving KMs around like a hot shot. Meh, guess it might be nice, not sure how much work it would require. 3) FW Ranks meaning something outside RP Ranks already provide you with a standings bump when you are promoted the first time. Some have asked that it give a standings bump each time you are promoted because repairing standings atm is an absolute ***. 4) No docking rights in enemy hisec Dunno about all the side affects. Another option that should be considered is a buff to Faction Navy NPCs.* 5) One more sized plex. Messing with the plex meta by implementing additional plexes when it is the most functional thing about FW atm seems premature when there are things as broken as FW missions that CCP has already confirmed they will be working on. A BC specific plex shouldn't be considered till after the BC changes, if ever imo. Smaller adjustments like suspect on gates (woot), and maybe persistent plexes through DT will be better first. 6) FW Ihub changes. Might as well call this system upgrades. Right now they suck. 7) LP Stores. Probably won't be touched this year due to amount of time required, but you might want to ask the CSM and CCP. Here is the current little things list off the newfw tweetfleet doc. Keep in mind CCP Affinity already confirmed suspect on gates, newfw missions, and likely a 4 way war, I'm not sure if they will have any time beyond that to pile in more stuff, but it never hurts to ask! The Little Things List: Remove FW standings hits in null sec. Remove purple icon for allied militia - or allied militia should take standings hit if they attack you (or just get rid of allied militia). FW standings eligibility should be applied on individual basis, not on corp basis. Remove faction standings hits for AoE effects (or other weapons) when in same fleet. (or remove standings hits for all AoE weapons everywhere in lowsec) FW overview for newbroGÇÖs in militia MOTD and FW panel. GÇ£Future militia fleet finderGÇ¥ -Fleet finder should have an option that allows FCs to announce future fleet ops to entire militia so that newbros can be ready for a future op rather than log in and hope thereGÇÖs a fleet. Militia-only contracts. GÇ£MilitiaGÇ¥ filter for POS access, Citadels, etcGÇª Remove T3Ds from small plexes Strengthen Faction Navy to make it harder to camp opposing highsec to farm newbs. Have plexes persist through DT and redo spawn mechanics of non-outposts (keep them semi-random though) Randomize plex respawn rate by using a respawn window. Useful System Upgrades

Haven't seen anything about them, you'd have to elaborate. A couple of the many reasons to redo FW missions are the imbalance between the factions as well as the ridiculous Tier4 Stealthbomber junk. We've been told we won't hear much more beyond that until after the CSM summit, but I trust in Team Space Glitter and Sugar Kyle.

They definitely need reworking. Personally, I'd exclude the LP payout from Tier bonuses and compensate by making them a viable means of contesting a system. Allow pilots to allocate a target location, and a successful mission adds VP to that system. Failure reduces the VP. Add a time limit that has some meaning, rather than the arbitrary expiration timers that currently exist. As for difficulty, well that's a racial thing and would require a serious rethinking of PVE mechanics as a whole. There may be some Tier work done in relation to missions, 4 way war, and kill value LP, we won't know anything till after the CSM Summit. Having said that, I think it highly unlikely that they will have pure PVE missions impact system control because almost all of the PVPers in FW would flip out and burn everything to the ground in protest.

No more allied militias, 3 full factions of war targets for one low price! 2. Suspect timers on entering plexes. Not outside, since reasons, but once you're in you're flagged and freely engageable. I may even have to reconsider my dirty piwat status... actually had over 6.0 sec status before joining FW. That went away in a hurry, and tagging my way back above 5.0 seemed pointless after the first 2 times I did it. They're also well aware of the mission imbalance and have "something" planned to address those issues. No idea what that will look like at the moment. I just hope they preserve the necessity to move around the warzones - otherwise it's far too easy to hide in backwater mission systems. New Missions.

It seems to me they pretty close to the same thing. Sorry Cearain but you are wrong on this one. We don't push the warzone because we want an extremely strong PVP ecosystem at the moment. There are still enough people in Gal Mil with the know how, as well as pilots with the skills and gumption, to take the warzone. It would totally suck at the moment due to how much neckbearding we would have to do in the AU tz due to Cal AU tz strength, but it would be doable. Having said that, it would be a terrible idea. In fact, we don't even want to take Caldari home systems. Killing off all your targets is a great way to end up with no targets. - Than
