We shouldn't make evasion plexing easier by making each plex shoter. But the number of plexes you need to run to make the system vulnerable is too long IMO.
When inferno hit they made it so you had to capture 5xs as many net plex to capture a system. (they reduced the vp of each plex from 100 to 20) I think they should take a look at that.
Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve

Just half the vp for capping a plex then. it makes no difference to the overall time required to cap a system but it means you physically have to be more active to do so.
Half time required to cap, half LP and VP per plex and double spawn rate of plex. Makes the system exactly the same time sink but requires more active playing and less time effectively AFK. The rats provide the 'dps check' not we can work on reduce AFKedness (yes its a word I made up )
TBD this is probably the better suggestion rather than messing with plex effects and bonuses or trying to make more people pvp.

- Broken missions / mission balance
- Plex Farming
- Awoxing / militia overviews / cross-faction plexing
- Standings
A lot of folks have a lot of different ideas about how to address them, but if you read the minutes they're all actually touched on in the minutes: Mission balance - CCP Affinity is specifically looking at rebalancing missions, and notes that they'll be adding fast webbing frigates to the L4s in order to cut down on bomber alts being able to run them easily Plex farming - CCP is adding NPC patrols to FW first, which will move around the system and engage players. And yes, they'll chase you if you run. In part this is using FW space as a test bed for the mechanic before they expand it to other areas of the game - but it will definitely make AFK plexing a lot harder than it is now. And they won't even have to introduce gimmicky mechanics like banning WCS or cloaks to do it. Awoxing / cross-militia - They're planning on breaking up the cross-faction alliances and making it a four-way war. That will instantly solve the cross-militia awoxing issues and such. They're aware that they'll need to adjust the tier stuff if that happens, and they know they'll need to find a way to move between the Cal/Gal and Min/Amarr zones more easily, but they note they're working on that stuff too. Standings - For one thing, you'll get suspect timers for entering plexes, which should make it a lot easier for us to engage neutrals without tanking our security status all to hell. They're also looking at allowing individuals in a corp, or corps in an alliance, to join FW without the entire organization needing to. CCP Affininty mentioned they'd even like to decouple standings from FW completely as it would solve a lot of issues. So, when I read people bitching about how nothing is changing and noone listens and they're not doing anything and whine whine whine, it really makes we want to slap the hell out of folks. Folks like Sugar Kyle and Gorski Carr, among others I'm sure, specifically went out to the community in multiple channels to gather feedback on FW. And they pushed to get it addressed during the summit so that they'd be able to tell us players what CCP had in mind. So CCP is working on updating things as they can, while keeping in mind that a total revamp might be needed down the road. From the minutes: CCP Affinity wrote: A lot of the feedback we got from players is that they'd like an overhaul of the full system, but we don't feel that is beneficial at present when a lot of the feedback we're hearing is "we don't have enough to do in FW", "there's not enough PvP targets", "there's no reliable PvE" so we want to fix that side of things first, then perhaps the system issues go away, we'll see.
If you look at the overall EVE game right now, the roadmap, the massive freaking changes they're doing in terms of structures, nullsec sov, industry, capital ships... they're MASSIVELY shifting the bedrock of what has driven this game for the past 5-7 years at least. The fact that they're even taking FW into account, given that FW lowsec (and yeah mostly Cal/Gal) is one of the most active areas of the game, is a testament to how much folks like Sugar Kyle and Gorski Carr are willing to step up and represent a group of players that has become ever more whiny and entitled. Grow the hell up already.
The last thing we need is more NPCs getting in the way of PVP. The roaming gang idea is terrible.
If they want to do something with Faction NPCs that is clever and helps drive conflict - Remove the high sec navy so that NPCs do not stop FW groups from having pvp in High Sec.
Sugar Kyle is doing it right - by asking for ideas/feedback and having debate on topics.
But Gorski is driven by his own agenda and doesn't consider or listen to any ideas that do not agree with his own. Also - Gorski has never actually been voted in as a CSM.

So I think my idea of having rats from both factions spawning seems pretty popular. Maybe I'm just getting confused with the obvious consensus that more PvE in FW is not wanted Personally I'd like it if they banned FW missions.
Not sure how many times this points been covered. But if people enter a plex and they aren't in FW make them flashy?
Better yet if for example its a calmil vs galmil plex And lets presume theirs going to be either a calmil rat or a galmil rat or both If I'm in Gal Mil or Cal Mil the rat attacks me If I'm not the rat attacks me and I go suspect
I don't think this would be too hard to implement, doesn't the game already have this in some form?
Also something about plex timers, what about at least changing how plexs respawn so if theirs a fleet bigger than 5 guys they can plex a system up instead of just sitting around. Make it non linear so X amount of plexs can respawn in a given time.
Making activity bursts actually useful
Lets face it none right now attacks a system We just wait for some farmers to not refarm a system until it gets really high
Expecting 24/7 effort and not adjusting the system to most peoples length of play, is FW's problem.
We are not bored and want PvE
We are bored and want PvP, whenever we log on, even if its for only 30min.
How things are looking currently... null has become a place for people with short attention spans, while FW/lowsec is glacial. |

To the man at CCP who actually reads this. One suggestion was that if a system was controlled my your militia, and someone has negative standing towards your militia they cannot dock in system stations. This is absolutely a game changer as long as this includes non faction warfare people as well. And remember not all low sec in controlled by FW. |

This should not be done. Neutrals are .... erm ... "Neutral" by definition.
Less stick more carrots. What needs to happen is generate real incentives to being in Militia's and I mean incentives to being in long term.
The prime thing to change, for neturals in the FW WZ, is prevention of the sec status loss for all inside a FW complex. This is already on the table. Station lockouts for neutrals does not bode well (another conflict suppressant when more conflict drivers are needed).

I agree with sgt here. Neutrals are not so bad. We provide quite a bit of content for each other. The plex flag on neutrals is good. It need only last two minutes, like the dueling aggression window, except uncontrolled. Also, a lot of FW systems are main branch points towards null and other parts of space. Not being able to dock between all of this hurts too many people.

already told -2 npcs in plex one gallente one calda -disabled acces to WCS ships -increase the spawn rate of large/medium and maybe small plexes -add a new one for BC and below ( with gate ) -no links effects in plex unless on grid ... - no lvl 4 missions for FW. only lvl 5 or more ...^^
and put a system that give you regular isk for your lp and not market driven , because actually people don't want their lp to loose value , and this is non sense , we should fight for more ( lp ) and not for max lp value ..
CCP it's time to remove Off Grid Boost and Put Them on Killmail too, add Logi on killmails
.... Open that damn door !!

On a particular system or constellation, sure. But warzone is all about manhours spent in plexes and the farmers give the advantage to whoever they're plexing for.
The general militia gets to pvp wherever they want while the farmers take care of the warzone for them. |

Everyone thinks we need a whole bunch of adjustments to LP or rewards. Just deny tech 2 and tech 3 advanced hulls from activating the mission gates and that single-handedly will be the biggest judo kick in the **** to donations.
If you want something constructive to do, just hit their leveled up systems. Force them down to donate more.

The actual empire navies that were allies, would still be allies. The militias, which are supplemental military forces that engage in rebel or terrorist activities in opposition to the regular navies, will no longer be allied.
To make it more simpler, the militias will have their own rules of engagement that are different from the empire navies; which we essentially now have. |

So minnie militia pilots will still have access to Gal high sec without the navy messing them? But would be open to engagement from gall militia?

That part hasn't been addressed, but I hope that's how it works out. The whole idea is to fix it so you don't take a standings hit for shooting/killing allied militia members. |

Really?
Thought it aimed at preventing cross plexing the other allied war zone and blue killing from the allied militias - which I thought doesnt currently have a penalty. At least my Amarr standings indicate that there is no penalty.

Yeah I thought it was to stop purple ganking of the unwary but GIVING them a standing hit or making them fair game so the new guys don't just get ganked by 'friendlies''
I never had any issue killing purples when I was in Calmil.
oh yeah and the cross plexing crap that happens when one WZ is stagnant because the locals don't want to fight the war machine of the of the enemy.

Combination of both purple ganking and cross plexing. When you get attacked by purps and you shoot back, you take a standings hit not only to your allies militia, but also your own militia; because that's is how the current standings mechanics work. |
