If they take away the small gang aspect of FW (plexing) and just make it a structure grind i'll probably be unsubbing my accounts. There should be something similar to bunkers that creates opportunities for the bigger fleet fights, but it shouldn't be the only theater in FW. If i wanted to only blob and press f1 to get a killmail without having any kind of cognition going on in my head i'd have joined a nullsec alliance to do structure grinds.

All due respect Damar, you wrote the book on plexing and I understand you will be passionate in its defense, as will most of us. But we have to keep this grounded and not get sidetracked by old grudges that have little to do with the situation at hand.

If we had a year to discuss this, maybe thereGÇÖd be more room for some trash talk. But we have a matter of weeks to get CCP to change their minds before theyGÇÖll be knee deep in programming. We cannot afford to bicker at this time.

ECCM. Its in the game for a reason.

I really think they need to be adding pirate factions into this pdq. After all, there are tons of NPC 00 planets that could totally benefit from the dust link, and the faction warfare method to space.

"Consequences" have to be positive, otherwise it drives people away from militia in general and away from the losing militias in particular.

Yes, and my main is a member of GalMil, you dunce. This is about the health of FW in general, not about point scoring in your own little corner of the warzone.

dude, it's a game. eve is a video game.

If this happens, mail me immediately. I will look into it. You need to realize you are an older pilot than me, and stop blaming me for not reacting during a time I wasn't playing the game. I'm trying to help here, but I can't help you if you don't communicate with me.

Also, the mechanic proposed by the developers was that members of hostile factions would be locked out of every station in hostile systems, not just those owned by the opposing militia NPC corp.

The bottom line is that the ideas shown at Fan Fest were just not fleshed out enough to be "the plan" at this point, in terms of commitment. I think there is plenty of room here to point out that there just isn't time for complicated Sov Infrastructure systems if they don't have the balance right, and the bottom line is that the current package is NOT balanced, and CCP admits this.

We look a 40 man fleet over to Intaki on saturday and helped resecured Intaki and Agoze.

I think what is important and being highlighted here is that players will need some sort of incentives on the losing side to prevent all out collapse. Perhaps payout rewards are higher for players on the losing side, showing that their small victories are worth so much more?

IIf I wanted to be as disingenuous as you're being, I could suggest there are other games you can play that provide much more in the way of instant gratification; EVE may not be a good fit for you if you can't stand taking more than 15 seconds recovering from a loss. But I try not to be quite so condescending when talking to someone just because we disagree on a point. You might want to try that... just a thought.

ie want that navy issue ship? yea it cost 20% higher in LP because your boys aren't doing so good, get in there and fight if you want cheaper stuff

Forget the past.
