Turn on friendly fire in FW.

The idea that any empire would actually hire some of the lazy peeps that we see enter this low security theater is laughable.

I propose a few things

1) Losers of said match don't get paid at all (free cash win or lose should be a pub thing)

2) Payouts double and triple when an Empire is underrepresented in FW aka is clearly losing eve side.

3) Merit based rewards (salvage/LP), you get rewarded more (or less) based on your history/contributions to the war effort with said factions equipment/weapons.

Thoughts?

meh, i would just take my alt to the caldari side and start murdering people.

That shouldn't prevent it from not being turned on. I like the idea of never knowing who is your 'real' ally. Adds an interesting element to the game.

Agreed.

FW should not degenerate into who has the best team killers.

1) Even in PC we pay out both sides, I can't see us not doing that for FW. That being said while raw ISK may be paid out that doesn't mean other things have to be. :)

2) Interesting, shall have to think about it. I am a bit tired right now but we had some reasons for not wanting to do that... those reasons may have changed now but as I said, tired... :)

3) Agreed. :)

That's not the point, just a facet of what can happen.

However it cannot and rarely does happen in EVE, this is AWOXING. This should only be possible if the potential is given to kick the player from the match (equivalent to kicking from a fleet thus removing the problem).

before you do the third can you bring out mim and amarr vehicles

Those are not my area, but I suppose we could delay the feature until they get done at an unknown point in time...

Since you are here CCP Foxfour.... are there any plans to introduce a Dust side Militia Systems like the EVE based system.

As it stands the only reason to stand loyal is for loyalties sake or if you like to RP.... as such no real Dust based efforts come together in a meaningful way.

But either way I love the premise of FW. Its the whole reason I play this game.

Just so you guys know, giving nothing for losing a match leads to a lot of backlash from MMO players from my experience with DCUO. Mainly people who were previously useless decide to quit if they don't think they can win, then the team and the quitters replacement are disadvantaged and complain. Then they introduced a deserter penalty to address the quitting problem and then no one wanted to play the PVP because it all broke down to team composition and luck.

Now admittedly dust is much better balanced than DCUO but that's just how I'm afraid it would play out.

There are plans yes. No ETA. :)

Unknown point in time, really? Unless you're just playing with us, which I hope you are, does the team at CCP really not even have a general idea for when they want to release these? Quite frankly I don't know how you can balance all the vehicles when you're missing half of the variants.

But alas, I realize I am griping to the wrong dev here.

I'm not interested in the when. Thank you for the confirmation, I am glad that improvements are on the way. I would also hope/ assume that factionalised loot is possibly being added as well.......

By Militia system do you mean to imply a "sign on" system for both individuals and corporations that enforces or ensures player loyalty. Does this system affect faction relations/ standings?

They are two completely concepts and are unlike each other in so many ways, so you really can't compare the two games. Also, adding a deserter penalty as in DCUO would be frustrating, especially to the players IN squad that can't get in game but are still in the squad OR players that get the black screen or freeze. Said penalty would affect them too to an annoying extent.

I will say this....DCUO devs care more about their game imo. They have a test server in which players test for a week BEFORE any DLC/update goes live, just as many sales promotions, a weekly show with the devs on Twitch TV, attentive GM's and responsive support when you have an issue, IMMEDIATE bug fixes and an accurate annual roadmap that they allow players access to, so we aren't left scratching our heads. We know what will be coming every year and they deliver. I just wish CCP was as ambitious.

*sigh*

I would love to see players getting increased rewards for their loyalty for playing with a specific faction, however I don't want to lock people into factions.

DUST is meant to be a very social game and I think it is incredibly important that players can play with whoever they want.

For example, it would suck a LOT if you joined one corporation that was in say the Gallente militia and then some friends of yours play Caldari and you couldn't join them or had to jump through hoops just to do it.
