Why can a faction frigate like a Dramiel or a Daredevil enter the small sites, but an AF, Intereceptor, or EAF can't? That's just crazy, and it means that 90% of the ships (at least the ones I see) used in FW are:
Stealth bomber Dramiel Hookbill Slicer
Seriously, either ban faction ships or allow T2 variants.
No, just the pirate faction and T2, leave the navy faction to have entrance (they aren't nearly as powerful). However, if the dessy changes are true this will no longer become and issue. Now with the destroyers buff there is no reason to do minors in anything other than thrashers. Although this request is not part of the op I do destroyers were not allowed in minors.
Nah. Dessies are fine inside of Minors. If you're in a minor to fight, then some frigs sitting on the warp in would work fine methinks. I'd sure as hell engage with with even numbers against destroyers if I'm already inside the plex. 1/2 the time a dessie is range fit, so it's a nice gamble to take with expendable frigates.
Hell, I even caught a Catalyst outside a gate (I was in a punisher) while his friends went in and survived long enough to my friends to get there from a stargate and pop him. However if I'm frig soloing in a plex with absolutely NO reinforcements nearby and I see a destroyer inbound, I'll be doing a nice GTFO maneuver for sure. |

Well, I don't want to have a big sign saying WE'RE PLEXING IN AKIDAGI RIGHT NOW!!!! I want them to take a look at the occupancy map and see that there's a big ass blob over the system and say to themselves 'self, I think there's bad guys plexing in Akidagi. I think I should scout it/take a fleet in and see what we can do.'
It's still pretty easy. Heck, if the Caldari want good fights, then they should just come and plex over near Nenna. Open plexes, sit in plexes. Cap plexes. Soon enough it'll get noticed by us and we'l come a fightin'! A few of us have been known to come into a plex with even numbers. Or down 1. We just want fights, same as them. |

I guess where you go from our disagreements is what kind of notification system do you want? Something in Militia chat? Something in your notifications (that I largely ignore because of PVP notification lag)? I'm guessing what you want is something that's non-intrusive that gives an up to the..... 10-15 minute update of current systems being plexed?
I also wonder if all of this is a moot point because of the last CSM and the fact that they discussed FW during it. |

That's WAY MORE than knowing where the fighting is occurring. I would almost keep the intel open ended and let the militia coordinate on their own.Like if a militia had a channel specifically for plexing. I think CCP is trying to stay away from NPCs as much as possible and get that kinda stuff into the hands of the players. I don't think there's ever been someone's job to just check all contested systems and see if there's someone currently plexing there.
IF there was to be an NPC plex reporting channel, then I'd also have less intel in that it. Maybe just letting you have a real time list of what's contested or...... where there's plexes that are currently being run with updates around 10-15 minutes. From an RP standpoint, you could say that the intel/comm routers in low sec are old and in disrepair so that they don't give EXACT intel.
I'm still not sure if I would want NPC updates though. Maybe if FW gets some sort of Sov system where we can install upgraded comm relays, then sure. Otherwise, I dunno. |

I fought in and on plexes yesterday. This happened:
Kill 1 Loss 1 Loss 2 Kill 2
If you'll notice, that's 3 separate systems that plexing was occurring in. I realize that you color your 'plexing is a PvE activity' with the word primarily. I think that since the recent update with more plexes spawning, it's shifted a fair bit toward the PvP side. |
