Shiplosses will be abundant and currently as I like to say I'am more inclined to go pirate the foolish ppl who will play fw, only sec status to worry about, no standing hit to empires, not being shot by navys in two highsecs by default.
the system need reward as been said 'It was good fun pewpew' dosent hold to ppl on tranq where potentialy hours been made to get a ship, the reason its fun on sisi is alot due to 100 isk ships, no grind just shot things up(Ofc, its better fun when ppl dont bother about brining their 100 isk caps out again and again.)
I said: I dont care about becoming rich running FW but I do want to break nearly even.
Even here includes that going 50/50 in wins/losses should drain my wallet but not make me bankrupt ffs, that will just send me back to highsec to do missions and not bother) count a 'regular' fit that you risk as number of fittingslots*1m(1m/t2 mod) and you start seeing that a frigate dosent just cost 200k. (And now some will say 'fit t1', you dont spend months training(and paying $ to ccp) to fit basic t1 stuff)
Yes I do have a problem with pvp being the 'reward' when I can have all that "fun" on sisi without the painstaking hours of grinding isk with highsec missions(Which is the most boring and utterly timewasting thing in eve)
The sad part is I'am slowly giving up, 0.0 pvp is... painstakingly boring for the better part, you have mainly old entities sitting on the treasures. But 0.0 is the place to make isk, without bothering about standings, sentryguns or if that guy in local is probing you(If hes not blue your gone) and you risk a ship or three to make isk, to go + in your wallet.
Which is why I have hope fw will be alot of fun for smaller scale(a 50v50 brawl is about the tops that is actually 'ok this was... ok fun i guess') conflicts.
Right now, pvp is the reward, fighting for occupancy yields nothing(standings: wohoo I can access higher grade missions wooohoooo the joy, and to top it off Ill probably ruin my standings to two empires so when I leave fw I still wont be able to go into their highsec wooohooo the joy')
Occupancy must mean something. Refinery rates? Give me a break who mines/refines anything worthwhile in lowsec. If I fight for and help win system occupancy that better darn well be worth something for my pockets considering I can/will lose so much in the process. For the fun? For a rank? This is not wow, things cost isk and you lose them when you die, a shiny rank means nothing but a full stomach that I can understand.
