The entirety of plexing mechanics has promise for variety of ship types to be used instead of just battleships, logi, and caps as the order of the day. All we needed was a meaningful reason to fight over plexes. Lower skilled pilots could have an impact on the "war" by fighting in minor plexes forcing the enemy to ship down in order to capture the complex. You had all sorts of fights, frig/dessie brawls, cruiser skirmishes, and BC engagements in majors, and then the eventual cluster **** where everyone flies as big as they want for the bunker bust. CCP should understand that having all shiptypes meaningful is really important to the playstle most of us enjoy in faction war. Players have the option of hoping in a frig and brawling cheaply, or flying bigger ships too. I enjoy the variety. All ship sizes are relevent.

Didn't a few frigs/dessies just recently cap a minor plex making a system no longer vulnerable while a minmatar blob was busting a bunker, buying time for the amarr to rally a counter fleet? I think the current system has a LOT of potential for something dynamic. You could have fights in multiple sized plexes as well as the bunker simutaneously. This excites me. Having one big fleet shooting a structure is kind of boring. I hope they don't completely scrap what's in place. It just needs improving, not removing.

Ok I'm not knocking the fit. You can kite other cruisers in it and take out smaller ships. I have no issue with that. I may actually get a few to plex in.

As to whether its an oddball fit. Well we can look at killboards of good non-fw pvp corps and reach our own conclusions whether its odd or common.

But it's one fit.

My point remains that several other more typical types of pvp cruisers(ruptures thoraxs and vexors) are not viable due to rats. Caracal and other missile based ships are going to be king of plexing because they can also pve.

I know damarr has said that plexing is now basically fixed after the downtime spawn mechanic changed. I disagree.

Maybe some others now think its fixed so long as they give more rewards than the tags we already get. I would just ask how much more?

I think they need to do more changes to plexes and not just add more rewards. I think plexing needed fixing before the crucible changes and it still needs some fixing.

Dosen't it Honestly feel like plexing and missioning should get switched? As in missioning is about spinning a buttion and staying in one place for a time and plexes are about a acopmlishing a set goal very fast.

And a r..ard whose corp members (with his own approval) are part of evemail spamming, convoing hostile FC's durng fights and other welll documented shenigans once again attempts to play "All Gallente players are totally cool and mature" card...

Any fix would require some form of additional reward for factions that are not doing well. The biggest problem with the missions vs. plexes is that missions are basically just something that promotes afk mission alts to ***** all the missions with little to no initiative to fight in the area. I'd say 75 to 90% of all FW missions are run by people with no desire/want to be involved in the pvp aspect of FW (which in and of itself is not that big of a problem). As I understand it, the whole point of the FW missions was to A) promote conflict, and B) allow pvpers access to funds to replace their losses. Neither of these goals is adequately met by FW missions. Plexing needs to hold a stronger benefit/cost for pilots because they generally drive conflict much better.

Just my .2 isk.
