btw , rulesaremy enemy : a war without a prize is stupid , caldari militia showed that frags aren't important : when they will control gallente space , will u still say that true pvpers care only for kills ?
Name one benefit that holding space in the faction war provides a militia (Hint: the answer is none). What did the Caldari get for their effort? A worthless medal and an ISD newspost. 6 months later, CCP have proven through inaction that the FW will not have any major impact on the game.
Pilots join the faction war for three reasons:
1. Roleplaying (lol)
2. Easy "on demand" PVP (essentially a free war dec)
3. Farming faction war missions for LP (more profitable then level 4 missions in high sec)
Agreed. Factional warfare was started with the intention of bringing people into PvP and low-sec and eventually even null-sec. Not for worthless giggles when a system flips.
Yep. The Caldari were focused on taking systems, the Gallente were focused on PVP (if you check the stats the Gallente average many more kills per day then the Caldari). Unlike in no sec the ownership of a system has absolutely no effect on the outcome of the game (besides the roleplaying aspect. The Caldari militia was awarded a medal for their efforts). Unfortunately CCP never gave the militia's a true incentive to fight for sovereignty, and it remains a broken part of the Faction War system.
yeah i thought about giving FW a try but was told i'd have to leave my corp to do so, so forget that. just as an outside observer, though, FW seems way too insulated from the rest of the eve universe. i understand it's mostly for helping noobs and carebears get into PVP, but like you said, gaining occupancy should confer real ownership and benefits (similar to that of alliances and sovereignty). that would go a long way towards giving people a sense of purpose when doing FW.
I wasn't attacked because drakes don't do much damage, so I wasn't a threat.
The proper PVP overview should only show enemy ships. Check out some of my other videos for an example of a good overview setup.
As for the Hyperion, it is a decent sniper boat but extremely expensive. You'd be better off using a rail fit megathron. No amount of armor will prevent you from dying under concentrated fire from a large fleet. If you're primary'd, you're probably going to pop.
I was flying a drake because there was a call to arms and my mission ship was the only battlecruiser I had available. It is fun to kill the enemy using their own technology, though. :)
right click "remove from overview" on the actual overview interface....do that with planets, belts, wrecks and stations...it would of taken like 5 seconds. I don't know how you managed that overview cluster fuck. Nice job...Decent engagement
Haha, this is *definitely* not my usual overview setup. I had just reinstalled my Eve client, and was logging in for the first time when I saw the call to arms (This is also why I am flying a PVE Drake). It didn't occur to me that I should reconfig until we reached the engagement :)
lol my statement im Gallente but i am a part of the Amarr militia.

no offense but I hear that gallente got wiped off the map by caldari in FW (they have occupancy over pretty much all your systems)
