Dust 514 affects FW in Eve a lot, as far as I see.
I dual box Dust 514 with an AFK orbital provider in FW, and it is very, very entertaining.
We make the capsuleers work more or less in FW, therefore it would be cool to be able to see the map where there are contested systems, maybe we could "push" for a system more or not.
Would be nice to choose the system where you want to deploy in FW.
Mind you, this should NOT be the usual game flow, because if everybody chooses where to deploy, there would be no more matches, due to too few people playing.
A timer would make sense, for instance I could choose to search for a battle ONLY in Sosala Solar System for the first 2 minutes, and if no battle starts, then simply go wherever.
If there are people who don't care where they are deployed, then they're put into Sosala with you...
It's rather annoying that while I'm trying to take a certain system with the Eve side, the Dust mercs go randomly all over the place, making Dust 514 too random to be effective.
Could this actually be done? Was this requested before?
Thank you!

Would like to see it like this:
Let the current FW matchmaking like it is now.
But: Let capsuleers be able to set up contracts which then pop up under "Other Contracts". Only capsuleers engaged with the militia could do this. How would they do this? Simple: Every militia office lets you buy Merc contracts for LP and ISK. These contracts would cost about 10544 LP (that's the amount of LP that would be paid out if all members of one side have Standing 10 without boosters). Maybe just round it down to 10.000 LP. ISK fee: Maybe 25.000 ISK per contract.
Now the capsuleer can use this contract and issue it to a private person, a corp, an alliance or make it public. And of course set the contract timer between 24 hours and 2 weeks. Or maybe let them determine the exact time of the battle. So it's kinda like PC. And of course they can choose a system where the battle has to be fought. I'm not sure if it would make sense to determine a planet and district. All contracts would be attack contracts, for the sake of simplicity.
If issued to a private person this person only can accept the contract under "Other contracts" and join it with a squad. They side they join is predetermined by the contract. If the capsuleer bouht the contract from Caldari, then of course the merc the contract was issued to would join in on Caldari side. After they've joined the contract becomes open for all and will be displayed under "Other contracts" but may also be filled up by mercs using the normal FW matchmaking. When issued to a corp or an alliance the contract will only become public after the match has already started, to make sure the corp / alliance has enough time to fill up all spots. If the contrac is set to public to begin with it appears under "Other contracts" for all players and will be filled up with people using matchmaking after the match has started.
Now why would a capsuleer do this? I would say because he get's a nice reward if the battle is successful. But only then. If the mercs succesfully capture the district the capsuleer should get 20.000 LP (on T1). No ISK reward. If his faction loses on the ground he gets nothing.
This is just the basic idea so far. I guess especially the numbers would need some tweaking. I guess with the current numbers you could still abuse the system (4 Orbitals on T1 would give you more LP than the contract was worth). Also when and if the contract goes public could be up for debate. But I think it's necessary so you don't suddenly fight a 6 on 16 battle.

Sounds pretty good, but indeed numbers need tweaking.

or make it so your faction can only attack the closest neighbouring planets so the same planets remain under attack until you own all the districts and can move to the next planets, like a real war front. the starmap might mean something then too
