1: You can fight for whatever faction you like in FW, you're not locked into any particular faction.

2: This is known as the 'SP cap'. The idea is that you can only earn so much active SP in a week and once that's exhausted the rate of SP gain is pretty drastically reduced. You still get passive SP at the same rate but active SP comes at a rate equal to your WP in a match (up to a limit of 1000, so past 1000 WP you don't earn any more SP in a match).

Until the cap is reached you earn SP in matches at a rate of 5 SP per second plus your WP for the match, with no cap on individual matches.
The cap refreshes every Wednesday downtime IIRC, and you get I think 190k a week allowance. It doesn't add up, so if you miss out on 50k one week you don't have 240k the next.

It's a pretty stupid mechanic, but there's nothing you can do about it.

You know if they got rid of the cap more people would use boosters. Like me because i dont want to use a 7 day boosger when it will only benefut me for (hardcore playing) 2 days.

Hi guys,

Long eve-player, I tried dust these days.

Now I have 2 questions that really bother me, cause I feel, that cannot be "working as intended" or I really do something wrong:

1st: Long ago I made a Minmatar Character, which has in the meantime 5m SP. Can I change faction for factional Warfare like in Eve or am I stuck with Minmatar Items from FW? I mean I skilled into Amarr and Gallente suits, so it also would make sense to fight for their factions

2nd: Bonus SP.
I played for a week or so and made about 6-8k SP per round. No Idea if this is good or bad (bad I guess, cause I-¦m a noob), but fine for me.
After a few days I just got like 800 SP per round with the message there, that I have no more bonus SP.
To be honest, this is so few that I stopped playing, cause it-¦s faster for me to wait for XP that come automatically,.
Is this intended? I mean, I understand that they limit it, but I didn-¦t play 24/7 and after a few days I get so few SP that I feel they DONT want me to play their game?

But maybe as I said, Im doing something wrong here.
Btw. i always plaed solo without random squads.

ps: how much SP are you making a round?

Thx for your help! Zores

My advice is "get out now. you're playing in a corpse."
