I think they should allow sp in Faction Warfare and make it uncapped so that it will promote people to play it.

After all,that is the reason for combining Eve and Dust together, Faction Warfare.

For the amount of time it takes to actually get into a FW, I do not see how this could be manipulated.

There this one time at band camp, CEOs will set up a corporation matches, the opposing players will use free militia suits for sacrifices.

I rather get Loyalty Points, Loyalty Point store where players can spend LP aquiring Army Gear (better than proto not as good as officer) better interation of FW system, better interface, clearer impact of your efforts, Vote for next planet to attack, reputation Gains and Losses, NPC challenger system (Ie npcs make contracts defenders don't show up they forefit) Removal of the Ante system, (move that to a new challenge system)

To top things off a hybrid certificate system that uses skill level training and active use of modules/weapons to reward players with additional amounts of SP/isk and help train them further as well as have new grind goals.

pffft...good ideas....who needs em anyway

THIS.

@ OP no to SP in corp battles and **** no to making it uncapped because nothing stoppin ppl from making alt corps and farming SP. ppl need to stop thinking about SP SP SP all the time as a reason to play the game needs other things to play for other than just character progression jeez

@OP

No. When it comes to faction warfare, skill point gains mean nothing. Loyalty Points, ISK rewards, and territory become the dominant currencies. SP gains have no place in faction warfare.

Funny thing is these are not ideas.... well cept the certificate one having an active component.

If faction warfare had some juicy UI, a few videos, but mainly some really good graphical maps showing territory gains and losses that would help a lot. Even a screen you go to where an agent of the faction you want to fight for offers a contract. Something you could skip once it got boring. But the warbarge lounge in playstation home offers a much more compelling intro to the EVE universe than anything actually in the Beta.

Right now our interaction with faction warfare is so barebones as to be almost metaphysical. It must be made much more tangible.

But what are these loyalty points your speak of? We are mercenaries for hire... Is there some sort of mercenary equivalent that we could work for that would give us something good, no matter which side we fought for?

But it would be a very good thing i we had another, uncapped marker of progress to work for in faction warfare.

I also think we should get some sp for mercenary battles, something between instant battle and the corporate matches in FW.

I edited it due to not actually meaning uncapped, but it did slip.

You hit it on the dotted line.....sp sp sp, this is what alot of people worry about, it is in front of everyones eyes to see, and a simple solution to people not getting invonved in FW is to allow SP. At this juncture, what elese would motivate people to get involved? As it is half the people logg in for 1 hr to collect their daily,and addios.

I am not speaking strictly on my behalf as if it is something I want, yet perhaps something that can be used to lure more players to FW.

i support that post.
Also there needs to be something added that gives Dust corp the feeling they're not fully funding the fight.

Amarr sets contract. corp A pays, corp B pays. Corp B wins, Corp B takes its money and Corp A's money. End.
So where the hell is the Amarr reward. And dont suggest LP, if i fight i want freakin money from the employer.

What couldnt be exploited is a simple refund of equipment lost in battle by the faction when you win the fight (except for rare stuff maybe).
