OMG this is so true. I hear MDs firing in my sleep this week! I'd have to say I'm a little disappointed that I'm not seeing more lazors on our side. I was envisioning a whole squad of amarr assaults with viziams melting everything in their path.


Also, not that we spend as much time in the war barge as we used to, I would still, at least once, love to see it when every person is wearing the appropriate races suit. That's how I picture FW, at least during a coordinated offensive like this. Make it happen, PIE!
(Lol, like I need to tell them; I think Aero or True might get so excited they would pass out or have a seizure if they saw that! Medic!)

They are in EVE too. Whats your point? They are mercs after all.

Its just like how ANON holds the entirety of Minmatar FW together, without them, you don't have enough squads to take the fights through numbers alone.

Admittedly though Cubs has been working with us in PIE GD closely and has been a great help to the war effort, its not like he brought his corp in with no reason given, etc.

In this case we happened to get EoN who stated months ago that they supported the Am/Cal factions. Whenever they get into FW properly or if they have now is up to them.

In space we just got Fweddit back after they left for god knows where, and hopefully CVA might return, if so our fleet with have some serious numbers to them as well.

Nope. Fought them twice last night. Still matari.

Oh good. I read a post by trapper awhile ago saying he was switching support to the Amarr. Can't log in to check myself though.

I feel like FW needs to be done in a way so that sure you can support your allies when you want, but its not profitable for you to do so.

Why not? That's kind of the point to an alliance.

There wouldn't be anyone in minmatar fw if that was the case.

Few Allainces cross the boundaries between FW zones, some do but that normally isn't the done thing, because in FW eve side you sign up to a milita, and are loyal to that one until you drop it, also if you do drop it your are stuck with negative penalties against the opposing factions.

So sure a whole bunch of Gallentean supporters can come out to the FW zone but they cannot see the complexes in space, so all they can do is fight at the gates.

In FW we need to discourage overlapping, encourage loyalty to one faction, and ensure FW is a variant and enjoyable mode where allied groups can squad up and do things together, but cannot cross over willy nilly depending on what takes their fancy.

The argument, "Oh but were mercenaries" does work here because capsuleers are essentially mercenaries as well as they only fight for one factions at a time.

There's kind of a major difference between capsuleers and mercenaries. But that's not the point.
I don't see anything "not fun" about crossing over sides. If anything being stuck in one militia is pretty unfun. Plus I doubt it'll ever happen considering CCP's current stance: Do whatever for whoever.
I would rather have it so you can jump between allied factions, but can't switch to the opposite alliance. Not without paying some sort of penalty or just having it be super limited.
Jumping between Gallente to Minmatar, or Amarr to Caldari = fine. But no Caldari to Minmatar or Amarr to Gallente. Maybe allow players to defect once per year or something, maybe have them grind up standings afterwards some how.
