First Impressions from a noob
Being relatively new to eve, I was pleased to see this expansion coming as trying to pvp against veteran players tends to leave me broke. As ceo of our small corp, I signed up my friends and I as soon as I was able. So I take my Brutix out to Villore and on the way see a fleet forming up a couple jumps away and decide to give it a shot.
At first it was pretty tame meeting only 1 or 2 caldari at a time and we take a instalation. Then we move deeper in caldari space and get stomped. It wouldnt have been so bad if it werent for the lag. I expected to get blown up but to be able to at least see some of it would of been cool.
Ok, I ask around a bit only to find out after the fact that i should of taken off the effects to not lag out so much. Fine, done. Try again.
Ok, well since I can't afford to lose another Brutix, I go in an incursus and stop at villore for a militia mission. Grab a lvl 1 mission and this nut case sends me 14 jumps away (11 in low sec) to go kill a commander. So I zip through low sec to get to the mission area and find 4 cruisers with 5-6 frigs. Hmm. Well the devs said the missions would be on par with the ones out there already, even easier, so I head in. Well by the time I got close enough to target them I had to warp out and made it with only 3/4 of my hull left. A lvl 1 mission!!!
Fudge that, I head back to Villore to tell that agent where he can shove his mission when I come across another fleet forming up. So we romped around Black Rise all evening and even if my contribution was minimal, I had a hoot of a good time and will strongly encourage my friends to come along next time.
Things I liked:
-Being able to go pew pew things in low sec
-The capturing of instalations, pretty cool IMO
-The potential to learn a lot of new tactics without dying for every single lesson learnt
-Quick implementation, great job there, cheers
Things I didnt like so much:
-Missions, even though I only took one, it was much more than I expected. I can do pretty much any lvl 1 mission in an incursus and that one was near impossible alone IMO. 30 jumps just to go and come back for a diferent ship is a big time sink and the reward was like...meh.
So in conclusion I rate FW a 8/10, great stuff overall, mission might need a bit of balancing.

Opinions are like asses, everyone has one and only yours doesn't seem to stink as much
