Edited by: Friedrick Psitalon on 05/07/2008 22:24:21 Please link to any documentation of "petition losses" or "We're looking into it" posts.
Until then: You signed up for an Empire War. Empire wars make high-sec dangerous. You can always leave the militia if you don't care for it.

Originally by: baltec1 and just because you found a workaround doesnt make it legit.
It's always been possible to avoid the faction navy.
Quote: A dev has said that its not considered an exploit yet, others are looking into it as a possible exploit and others are telling victims to petition the losses. Its a mixed message from CCP at the moment.
IIRC, it wasn't that the dev said yet. They said it is not an exploit.
Quote:
I joined this war knowing high sec wouldnt be safe, but I do expect the NPC navy to turn up to aid me as advertised. It might be late or it might not but it should turn up.
Wait, so you joined this war in hopes that you'd be saved by NPCs? With 7000 other FW mates?
Cripes.

Before the patch it was possible to tank the faction navy with a passive tanked Drake. The navies were beefed up a bit during the patch, but surely, tanking them can't suddenly have turned into an exploit?
I am not a part of the war; however, as a pirate I've had a few run-ins into the faction navies (like playing when drunk, and accidentally jumping into a hisec system), and I've NEVER been accused of exploiting. The faction navies are not CONCORD. They are at war with the enemy militias, just as you guys are, and just because you're at war, that doesn't mean that you will automatically win.
Now stop whining, get your Caldari acts together, and start fighting back. Scram them frackers, and then help the Caldary navy to mince them into atoms, and please stop littering the forums with stories of your inadequacy to fight your enemies! ____________________ Honk if you think that I'm a n00b Lance fighter > Honk. |

There is nothing like what you're suggesting in that thread except Caldari crying about what they wish the devs were saying. I said documented proof - all that thread shows is the same crying we've got here, again.
And, btw, the Navy helps you - it would be a LOT worse for the Caldari if they weren't interfering with us. 
I'm sorry, but when ONE capsuleer pilot is all it takes to disrupt us, but the Caldari militia can't be bothered, I see absolutely nothing wrong.

That doesn't say it's an exploit; it says that he wanted the OP to report the absence of NPC navies.

Ah, I guess it was yet another thread of Caldari whining where CCP stated, after that post was made, that they had looked into it and said it wasn't an exploit. At any rate, I can't be bothered - I'll keep laughing at the 7000 member militia unable to field a single ship to stop us and crying for CCP to save them, right up until FacWar ends or a change gets made.

Originally by: Stab Wounds i thought if you avoid concord or the faction police it's considered an exploit and bannable
Only if you do something to trigger a Concord response. However they are only attacking war targets, meaning no Concord response, meaning they aren't doing that exploit.
Originally by: Friedrick Psitalon Look for the thread yourself. I don't need to prove what I already read.
And when he can't find it after he spends a few hours searching due to his incompetence, it would be quite reasonable for him to assume that it doesn't exist. Sadly the burden of proof is on you to show that it exists.
Also it would be a useful link to have over on the Gallente Militia forums.
Originally by: baltec1 Just to point out. The NPC navy were promised to help defend players in their factions high sec which they are not doing because of this "trick".
Keyword: help. As in they expect the players to do some of the work.

All I see there is a Dev asking for a bug report. Meaning that dev didn't have enough information to call it one way or the other.

Yes, help. Something they are not doing because of this tactic.

Originally by: Napro is CCP gonna fix this? Or punish those involved?
Depends on whether CCP thinks this is a problem.
What did CCP actually say that Faction Warfare is for? I think CCP said it was something about small gang pvp without a lot of strings attached. I need a source though for that.
If it's for people to be able to form casual groups and go and shoot other people, then is this sort of thing harming that?
Who is hurt (if anyone) by this sort of thing?
Many people need isk to fight in this faction warfare, as they cannot cover their losses with the income from their kills. If they can't make isk, then they can't continue in FW. Same as for any other kind of war in EVE. So what?
People in player corps can retire the corp from the militia to make isk then sign up again, so it's just a bit inconvenient.
People in the npc militia corp would have to be a bit more creative. E.g. they can choose less popular systems to do missions for isk, because those systems are much less likely to be affected by the opposition - lack of targets. Or they could have a non-militia moneymaker character/account. (Not such a good idea - EVE could do with less of that sort of thing). So, they'd be inconvenienced somewhat, but not all that much.
Is this inconvenience enough that fairly casual people (faction warfare's intended customers? I need a source for that) aren't interested in signing up for faction warfare? Then it's a problem.
But, I don't see that many people actually losing interest, so I don't see that there's a problem.

CONCORD yes, faction navy no.
It was always possible to tank the faction navy in the past and I've seen people (well TankCEO anyway) chaining them as if they were rats. CCP buffed the faction navy for EA but that doesn't mean they're untankable or that it has suddenly become and exploit.

You are exactly correct in your assertion that the totality of the Caldari Militia can't stop a small gang in Tama.
You would probably like to make the assumption from this fact that the whole 7000 members of the Caldari Militia are completely stupid.
However the actuality is that Eve is currently TOTALLY imbalanced and the current situation in Tama is merely symptomatic of that fact.

The problem isn't that FOOM are some uber pvpers (lets face it, you're probably average in the grand scheme of things), but that NPC AI is painfully bad. If you have a group of ships warping around, and another group sitting at a station, which would make more sense to attack? I know how the faction NPCs work, and it's fun flying around in Gallente highsec solo just shooting small solo ships here and there, but if there's a bunch of alts warping around in shuttles, I shouldn't be able to sit at a station blowing up people in militias with as little risk as I'd have in lowsec where there aren't handicaps in place that are suppose to prevent, or make hard, the ability to do this.
I mean honestly, cap at 10 set of ships? Really? I think the smallest gang I ever joined and didn't form, was 30-40 strong, including the mandatory boatload of alts of gal/min militia players.
If nothing changes I'll be rather surprised, but I really do think something's going to get changed, since I'm sure the faction navies were intended to be a pain to have to put up with if you want to sit and siege highsec, not circumvent by having alts warping around.

This made me think of FOOM and how BRUCE was incapable of not dying to a considerable smaller force over and over and over and over - eventually packing their backs and fleeing (will caldari militia take the ball and go home also?)
Guess FOOM has learned something at least - maybe.
(and no FOOM arent great PVPers, says more about caldari militia than them TBH)

The problem obviously seems to be that the caldari militia dont respond to attacks in caldari space and make even average pvp'ers look good. What do you need NPC's for?
