Would love for a good reason to participate on my main, but Crime.Net can't really beat Ushra' Kahn or the farmer swarm at the moment and the other groups seem too small to really make too much of a difference. It is just more fun when there is some give and take to the fight. The only thing that would do that now is another corp or alliance joining Amarr (or coming to this space from Caldari). I love the Minmatar, but turns out being on the winning side is pretty boring.
Eventually the LP market will crash and everything will reverse course and the Amarr will regain numbers, I just hope that middle period where there are lots of good fights from actual PVPers is longer this time around. |

That complacency is what caused the fail cascade of minmil when Amarr kept pushing and got their medal. There are some guys pushing warzone control in the hopes of doing something new that will merit recognition, but there is the catch. What may very well be a vain attempt to giving FW an end game goal that is recognizable and verifiable. Without medals being awarded there is really no other reason than farming LP that can drive pilots towards this mad endeavor of consistent pressure and constant fighting. Citadel reshipping makes for some of the fastest neck breaking PvP, but prove that there is no reason to take the loss of a home system to heart anymore. A tool that has become too useful and broke took too many other things when it came to FW.
To be fair, I played in FW long before docking lockouts, and probably got some of the best fights back then too. Yes there were alot of stupid Station games in Huola, but we also had lots of fights, despite the fact that victory points counted for basically nothing back then. Though the population of Minmatar low sec was just much higher for certain back then.
What really needs to happen though, is LP needs to be able to be put in hubs in order to upgrade systems, and those systems need to be able to do something like spawn anoms that will give LP when completed, or give isk, but only to one from that faction. You can put an Astrahaus in every system in nullsec, but it still matters who owns it because due to all space being upgradeable all space has value. Tiers are stupid, just do away with them and let upgrades happen.
The caution is though, that you don't want to be able to upgrade a system in a way that will benefit anyone who is outside of FW, so there would have to be big limits, but it seems pretty natural to me with citadels to make holding space valuable in some way. |
