I tried EA on test server until got podded.  Can't be arsed to move back to the stage.
Anyway, my experience with it is two big not very well organised blob fighting each other in certain lowsec systems, while eliminating occasional single self-overrated pirate trying to get some kills.
Will that be it? or i have not gotten the whole picture. please inspire me

no
blobs are easy to avoid, and there are multiple entrances
also... lack of bubbles mean camps are entirely passable in the right ships (ie nanohacs)
no-one forces you to join or fight a blob, and the 'beauty' of FW, if it can be so called, is that you don't have to face off a blob and can still achieve 'objectives'

think of it like this...if your enemy have blobbed up into a huge blob, then they are making very inefficient use of their time. I think the objectives of FW are designed to discourage blobbing if you want to win, not simply 'not losing your ship qua winning', or so i have been told.

Yes, yes it will. What happens on the test server is always completely indicative of what will happen on Tranq(uiliser).

There are multiple objectives in each system; mission objectives and the faction instalations themselves. So sure, go ahead and blob on one gate - someone will go around you and strike another location.
There will of course be gate camps - and lots and lots of people are going to get fried at those camps: its just part of EVE. But they'll be as many people succesfully penetrating outer cordon defences and striking deep inside hostile territory.
I for one am really looking forward to this.

Well i seriously hope that blobbage and gatecamping is cut to a minimum because otherwise it will meen that CCP needs to yet make good use of the "unspoken object" to balance stuff a bit.

arh.. haven't been on Sisi lately are you
You need to probe a warp in gate, then warp in and stay there for 20 minutes or so, and the gate is shown on the overview. all gates must be taken to make one bunker voluneerable in the system inorder to take it.
And if you sneak into a deserted system and finish all the sites yourself you won't get standings towards your milita corp.
Well there are many systems, haven't studied the map myself yet, but i hope there is no such "choke points" where the blobs will happen.

Nope, i've been watching most news and improvents from work, so i need to scan a gate for the bunker area?
Can someone point me to a link or something i seem to have missed those parts.

Can't you warp off to safe spot first before scanning for the objective
totally off topic, but is the faction standing required the real standing or after skills?

You can be podded on sisi, and nobody will be banned for it unless you petition him.
Most people prefer to smack in local to writing petitions, because it's easier.

You can scan the "objective" anywhere you want, after you or anyone have the "objective" rather warpgates co-ordinates warps to the gate, it will appear onto people's overview with correct set-ups.
Then the attackers have to activate the gate, clear the site, stay within the beacon's limitating area for 20 mintues. Then you have captured a VP. (victory point) During that time, the opposition faction can get in and kill you with overhelming numbers or just camp the warp-gate, not letting anyone activate it.
that's where i suspect blobing will occur.

I did not petition him, (or i don't think anyone would on the test server) understanding he must did it as a mistake.
And......After you got podded you can't smack him 
Edit: or smack in local to be percise

Knowing how much work a fleet takes to get organised, I suspect FW fleets are going to be very un-organised. So does all the action take place in the low sec regions or will there be action like a Amarr npc fleet enters Rens and the call goes out for all FW pilots to aid the Republic Fleet?

You failed to realize there is more then one entrance to the system. Even a 10 AU system has billions of safes and your the dumb arse for jumping on bad numbers.

Doesn't matter, the warfare will wind up being blob on blob anyways, one side will jump into another, and one side will have more.
The whole thing fails in so many ways... ruining it for RP alliances, gonna have blob warfare to chase away most of everyone else (0.0 dwellers are used to lag, wait till the people that are new to eve try out eve's "pvp" in FW...), FW will wind up being for nobody.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve by calling me a dumb arse, and not sure what you talking about either.
yes i am aware of multiple entrance into one system. since the beginning i am not talking about stargates, i am talking about warpgates. well, star and warp might look the same to you despite the differences in letters and thier arrangements.
Anyway you have to be at one specific place which is warpable by ANYONE to achieve FW goal, situation might be different if killing everyone is in your mind. (or is it?)
Edit: Your trolling efforts fail as always, seeing your kind of irresponsible posts, the corp that you are in must be a alt posting corp, (or the quality of it seems) thus you must be an alt. alt troll

That is possible, but I doubt very profitable.
Many gates are limited to certain sizes of ships. Lowest only accepts T1 frigats and destroyers. 2nd allows cruiser and T2 frigates. 3rd allow BC's and I think also T2 cruisers. And the last is unrestricted, you should be able to bring a titan if you want.
You don't have to clear all the NPC's to get the timer started, so while you are clearing, you are also capturing. Not sure if you can actually conquer the plex if NPC's are alive, havn't tried that yet.
There can be many complexes in a single system, so blobbing just one gate will result in losing the system. You don't need to get all the plexes to make the SCB (System Control Bunker) vaunrable (can't spell it  ). You just need enough victory points and plexes will keep spawning.
When the SCB is conquered, no plexes will spawn in that system until next DT.
Missions are spawned all over the place, but mainly in enemy territory, havn't gotten a single mission in friendly territory yet. But the missions I have tried are usually "Destroy this thing", which you can do before to much reinforcements arrives.

Blobing takes organization, and I doubt the fleets will ever be that orbganized.
