seems some people in EVE are starting to care about Dust influence in FW :p

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=280426


on topic:

- Influence gained in system
- A warning if something became (in)vurnerable
- Ships and Clone kills in the last 1 hour/3 hours/24 hours/3 days/1 week (per district/planet/system)(this should be viewable in EVE too, so they see how many mercs are dying)
- ISK and gear gained/lost in battle (inc. an overview on ISK and gear gained/lost per battle per district per planet and the time of the last battle on that district) (like a Dustbattle wide killmail)(this should be viewable in EVE too, so they see how many mercs are dying)
- LP earned (and include an LP store in Dust :p)
- Your own bulletpoints, since they were pretty awesome :3
- Amount of players in system (since you can't choose were you fight, you can't use it to scout reliable, also you don't see their names just a number and if they are Pilots or Mercs) at the time of the fight
- Any lore that was written over the system/planets with a link the the evelopedia to read said lore

Wow, from that link, it almost looks like the EVE community can be as whiny, entitled, negative, and pessimistic as the DUST community.

Hey guys,

I am back from vacation today and diving right into getting some work done. I wanted to create this thread before vacation but there wasn't time and I wanted to be involved in the discussion so waited until now.

So, hypothetically speaking, say we had a screen for Factional Warfare that was showing how a specific battle effected the EVE universe. What kinds of things would you maybe possibly like to see on it?

For example:

• Districts owned by the faction out of all possible districts they could own
• How much time this battle has saved your faction for the solar system it's attacking
• How many EVE players this affects (EVE players that have received LP in the system in the last 24 hours)
• Did this battle make the system vulnerable in EVE

That is just a small list to give you an idea. I figured you guys might be interested in being part of this random discussion. :)

I love data and stats. I'm a firm believer that if you track or measure something correctly you'll get a corresponding POSITIVE change in behaviour.

FW WAR stats

*number of Dust battles won/lost, by faction in last 24 hrs / week
*districts won/lost in the past 24hrs / week
*even better: a chart for each of the above going back over the past 7 days. Would mean you could see how the war is waxing and waning over time
*top 5 most contested districts/planets/systems (in terms of where dust battles are fought most often)
*Faction KDR / WP / isk/AUR destroyed, etc in last 24 hrs/week. Again, perhaps in a chart.

FW Battle stats

*Scoreboard for the battle
*Orbital Strike stats: how many, kills, isk destroyed, etc
*The affect it had on the eve system ownership. i.e. 87% -> 90%
*Related to the above, I'd like to know the possible minimum and maximum values of the eve FW ownership, based on the current owning zero and all districts (at the current eve contested state).
*This would show how important districts are in that system, and how much could be achieved by focusing on getting dust battles in that system.
*This could be shown graphically. It'd be nice to know if you lost/won an important battle as either a defence or an attack.
*Ship/pods killed in grid above the district. isk destroyed. Where they in a faction, or 3rd parties?
*I'd like to know about how recent battles in the same system have gone. Did we win the first battle after being in a losing streak? Is the tide turning? One thing I like about FW is that it's about the wins/loses in aggregate that is important.

I do have to raise a concern about having zero choice from the Dust-side in which system that you fight. As battles become more meaningful, the desire to choose WHERE you attack gets higher. They go hand-in-hand, otherwise all the FW stats you'll be showing might as well be random values for all the behaviours you'll be changing.

For example: you might have arranged some orbital support, but you don't know in advance which system you'll be fighting in. You can't even guarantee that you'll fight in the same (or close) systems one after the other. Any possibility of being told which systems have the most VP being earned (and so are candidates for battles) or being able to do some choosing? Or being able to prefer attack or defense battles for the side you'll be fighting for?

I'd start with a screen that allows you to deploy an entire team into battle. When you start doing that it'll matter.

Then you'll see stuff really happening in FW. But people are so hard up for team deploy that 90% won't care what faction.

We have a channel going where we try to get a number of squads together and choose sides so that all of us are with/against each other and sync deploy.

TEAM DEPLOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need it
