Says Aisha, as she tries to implement rules herself So answer the question. What would stop me from simply corp hopping when I want to change Faction? And most importantly, how many people would actually play FW? Really gonna enjoy those 30min que-times.
Atiim, it comes down to personal preference, either you REALLY want to do FW, you REALLY want to be a part of a corp and do PC and pubs, or you REALLY want to be a mercenary and do whatever the hell you want.
Let's break it down.
We have Twilight, Melphina, and Gene.
Twilight really wants to get into PC and do pub matches. She has countless corps to join of her choosing - if any are aligned with any specific faction, she can base her decision off of that or join a corp that is not affiliated with any faction. Twilight happily joins the corp of her choosing and plays PC and pubs to her heart's content.
Melphina LOOOOOOVES the Amarr Empire - she was born to fight in FW. She has countless corps that have aligned themselves with the Amarr Empire and their corp is enrolled in the 24th Imperial Crusade, perhaps she will join one of those corps. If she has no desire to join a corp, she can simply enlist in the 24th Imperial Crusade herself - done deal, now she is burning Minmatar alive with her LR.
Gene was born to be bad. He's a mercenary to the core and does whatever he well pleases. If he wants to fight for a faction, he can enlist, if he wants to roll with a corp that fights for a faction he can apply to said corp, if he wants to do whatever, he can faction and corp hop - he's at his own free will.
What you are failing to grasp is that if this WERE to be implemented, new corps would crop up to accommodate the wants and needs of the CEO's of those corps which would also align with the wants and needs of players as well. You would see more neutral corps crop up, you may see sister corps crop up of current corps where one is affiliated with a faction and the other is not, you will see faction affiliated corps only...it would sort out in the end.
I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.

Say you join a corp and later you decide you want to do Min FW, you inquire to the corp and they say we aren't interested in FW - I'm sure there would be a Min FW corp to join.
So if someone wants to fight for a faction other than what their corporation is fighting for, they have to scrap everything in their corp and join a "FW Only" corp? In what remote world does that sound plausible? You don't have to join a "FW Only" corp, you'd have to join a corp that is aligned with the proper militia in FW. That corp can still do PC and everything else. You really shouldn't be fighting for a side in FW that your whole corporation isn't, it just doesn't make sense. If you want to fight for say Gallente to get the Gallente loyalty items but your corporation is aligned with Caldari, then fight for Caldari with your corp, sell the Caldari loyalty items, and buy the Gallente loyalty items. If you want to fight for Gallente because you like them in lore or for whatever reason then you'd already be in a corporation that is aligned for Gallente in this example.
Mail me in game if interested in learning about the Amarr Empire and serving them in Faction Warfare.
Amarr Victor!

Ok, in EVE you must enlist in the factional army you wish to fight for - there is no "fighting for whichever faction you feel like when you feel like" per se UNLESS you enroll in a different factional army. Currently in DUST there is no system like that, you can just fight for whoever, yes it hurts your standings, but you can still fight for whoever.
First off, I would like to see this change where either a CEO of a corporation can enroll their corporation into the factional army of their choosing or a player can forego their corporation to join the factional army of their choosing.
Example time - Praetoriani Classiarii Templares can be enrolled into the 24th Imperial Crusade therefore making all of its members members of the Amarrian Factional Warfare Militia. Or let's say you're in Fatal Absolution, but you want to fight for the Caldari Factional Warfare Militia, you can enlist in the State Peacekeepers, but your corp now changes to the State Peacekeepers - you forego your corp.
This change would be a bit of a discouragement from "Faction Hopping" and would encourage going "all in" for your faction of choice.
My second idea will only work if the first idea is put into place. If players/corporations are enrolled in the militia of their choosing, there would then be highsec ramifications akin to EVE. In a public match on a planet/district owned by the enemy of the militia in which you are enrolled, enemy controlled installations will auto attack you (IE you automatically draw aggro).
Example time - PCT (not spelling it out this time) are enrolled with the 24th Imperial Crusade and we go into a pub match. That pub match happens to be on a Minmatar controlled planet in highsec on a Minmatar controlled district. Any installation on that planet will auto attack us (unless destroyed or hacked by us) because we are perceived as the enemy invading their sovereign soil. This will be akin to the warning that you receive in EVE when entering your enemy's highsec space.
**EDIT**
This would not be implemented until the Open Market was also implemented ideally so that way if your corp is enrolled in a faction that you do not wish to play for, you can simply sell off the unwanted gear you can purchase from the LP store.
Thank you for that note Viktor.
i lke the idea but i dont think the general public will its to much comitment for most f2p fps'ers
Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for,
welcome to New Eden
