I for one am excited about the upcoming faction war. For the longest time now IÆve been forced to hunt lowest weeks a time to perhaps have a chance to find a good fight. Failing most of the time and only encountering blobs, runners, or Stab*****s this war might actually bring people to low sec.
Perhaps the days of hunting weeks at a time for just a fair fight is over. IÆve never been a fan of frigates, the cruisers on the other hand thatÆs where IÆd like to be. As far as going beyond that, I think IÆll just stick with Cruisers, thereÆs no way IÆm replacing HACÆs or Battle cruisers daily for the ones that need their ego protected by being in a blob.
Speaking of which, if the faction war turns in to one big blob I predict lowsec to completely dead afterwards. But enough about jumping to conclusions. IÆll remain positive just at the chance of finding people that want to fight and best of all not taking a security hit.

Edited by: Jakke Logan on 03/06/2008 19:16:44 I'm positive that CCP will make the needed changes to make FW actually relevant once reality smacks them upside the face.

Originally by: Dravius Luxor Edited by: Dravius Luxor on 03/06/2008 18:46:40 Hehe, I care not about Caldari or Amarr standing.
Give me the tools to flush them from my region, and it will become all I do!
Furthermore, give me the tools to increase the Republics territory? Why thank you, I shall be making full use of that too.
I'm testing Jag setups when Sisi is actually running, and I'm avoiding applying to any corps because I know I'll simply leave to become a General after the patch.
Laugh if you like, but it's a game, see? And it just got a lot more interesting!
And has anyone else noticed the spate of roleplaying? Characters who before had no reason to affiliate themselves with their respective empires are now beginning to think of themselves as "Amarr" or "Minmatar" instead of just "trader" or "pirate".
Certainly FW, to those of us who find the word "toon" and the manner in which it is used offensive, will be a welcome and much anticipated core of our gameplay.
edit: Hmmm, on second thoughts I suppose I should be testing Rifter setups...
I totally agree, and the increase in roleplay should be fun! It's just a shame i'm caldari with the rest of eve I'd love to join the struggle for one of the smaller factions!
Do you think they'd take a convert?

Seems i hadn't read the blogs correctly. It's only the sites within the contested systems that have ship class restrictions, i guess that would actually make sence I really need to get onto the test server to see how this is going to work....

If there's one race that would turn mercenary, it's yours... :P (I imagine they would, if you have the appropriate standing...)

honestly apart from a few issues (like the mission time vs reward) I think they have a good idea overall, but it will be interesting to see if Caldari ends up owning their warzone by defualt due to all the existing cald mission runners ***** **** Trust Aura. Aura is Your Friend.
If your too paranoid to play EVE. . .
Then your not paranoid ENOUGH to play EVE |

I think that the way it's set up, and one of the reasons it's so appealling, is that you are judged and ranked by your actions.
We'll have to wait and see how the mechanic is implemented, but I think you could form a corp and declare war on your chosen militia...
Not sure if you'd get ranks though...
I'm really just looking forward to the carnage! Everywhere! I also think that the professional gatecamp may become obsolete. Too much heavily-armed traffic!

I reckon the gates will play a big role here tbh. If i do a lvl1 mission then sure i'll more than likely get away from a lot of gate camps in my frig and only frigs or destoyers can follow me into the plex but anything bigger is going to be engaged on the gates i reckon. It'd be interesting to see how many devote mission spammers will want to get involved, personally i only do missions because i have no one to go kill stuff with or i've gone and lost a load of ships (this happens a lot) Well either way...It's going to be one messy pew pew fest

I can't wait, 0.0 became stupid and good corps are rare and far between. This will be fun at least for a while especially the standard cheap ship battles. Even the newest players can buy a cheap frig and fly into battle. For those like me who just like fighting for the sake of fighting and have little to no loyalty to corps or alliances it is a good thing.
If people are whining about it well most likely because they are part of the corp/alliance establishment. Down with the MAN and let anarchy rule.

Uh oh, I don't think we've taken in the account of what kind of effect the MGRL might have on FW.
Anyway, despite the Backdoor Bandit, I'm still waiting for the FW. Just have to install one additional armour plate.

Five minutes between your two posts may have had something to do with it too... 
Yes, faction warfare will be fun I think. I havent had time to try it even on the test server, but I might try it this weekend.

Originally by: Zephyr Rengate I'm just wondering, how do I find FW corps, looked in recruitment channel and most corps are just mission runners or 0.0 corps. Is there any current channel to look for FW only corps for your side you wish to chosse?
Once FW goes live you will start seeing more dedicated FW corps, I imagine. Keep an eye on the Recruitment section of these forums once it starts and they should be able to give you a flavour of who's looking for members.

Thanks for making this thread. I love Eve and am hyped about the expansion. Finding ways to sneak in behind enemy lines -- alone or as a unit -- is going to be interesting and challenging. And have you seen the designs for the new rank ensignias? I know they are only window dressing. But little touches like this are what the designers really excell at: http://myeve.eve-online.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=559
The only thing I'm really wondering about is whether to play for my primary faction or not. I can afford to lose some standings with Caldari. But I'm afraid if I fight against Gallentean/Minmatar I will never be able to venture into their empire space again. I'm already in the hole with them.

He only posted it five minutes before your reply, numbnuts. FW is an exciting subject but I think it's a bit silly to expect instantaneous replies.

now now... no need for name calling.
I know I replied only 5mins after the OP, it was just meant as a joke.

I've been playing for almost a year now (since Rev III) and the sky has yet to stop falling.
I blame Eve's cut-throat atmosphere bleeding over into the forums :P

CCP are looking into sorting the standings problem out i've heard! So no matter how nasty your standings have got, you can actually fix them.....

Loving it. Can't wait. Gonna be rollin' Caldari, though. I'm too attached to the State to choose otherwise regardless of balance or standings. Hopefully no steamroll, that'd be a disappointment.

Can someone clarify or point me to official info on what affect will be once you join a militia in regards to flying in high sec of other races space?
I read posts alluding to not being able to go into hi-sec of the other races, just like being criminal flagged to concord. I was looking forward to getting into FW but not so sure it is worth being confined to Lonetrek and Forge for rest of my gaming time.

Played FW on Singularity. It is SO MUCH FUN! Can't say it'll be exactly the same as on TQ, but man...! Only thing I wish they'd change would be the "You must leave your corporation to join a militia" or "Your corporation must join a militia as a whole, and can't be in an alliance!". I would hope they would make it so you could join a militia and not have to leave corps or anything. _______________________________________________ "If you want to taste the ground, feel free to attack." - Kenshin Himura -CDS Now Taking Contracts-

The Minmatar coalition will have no reason to not take me if I choose fight for thier cause.
When the timing is right I will die freeing my brothers from their pompous, slumlord slavers and those that support their terror upon the Minmatar race.
