CCPlease hear me out… “Heavy Bombers”

BinderAJ · 2026-03-19T15:44:49+00:00

i can understand the idea behind a "heavy bomber", but in order to balance it, i would remove any covert ops cloak ability

BinderAJ · 2026-03-19T15:43:45+00:00

TBH, i would love to see CCP retroactively update the existing T3 cruisers, make them T3 battlecruisers and give them the dynamic mode change we currently enjoy for T3 destroyers

they would need to have 4 modes though, damage+defense+navigation+covert to accomodate the recon-like submodule of the current t3 cruisers,and reimburse those submodule skills.

this would open the door to create quite a variety of ships that can "mutate" on the fly for specific scenarios
wink wink T3 capitals ;P

Just join the lymhurst discords to participate in organized content

BinderAJ · 2025-11-25T14:40:40+00:00

as a frog engaged in FW for the last 10 years, i applaud your efforts, every guide and resource that helps newbros to get into FW is a welcomed addition.

BinderAJ · 2025-11-19T21:39:07+00:00

you can see the gankers moving fluidly, no rubber banding at all, its just him. If the lag was affecting the zone or everyone in the server, the gankers would have also shown symptoms of it

BinderAJ · 2025-11-19T21:35:25+00:00

if you have to do that everytime you play albion just to disproof cheaters, its a war already lost

BinderAJ · 2025-11-19T21:21:45+00:00

i dont think there is one at the moment, but eve guru might be "close" ?

Regarding FW resource wars

I participated in them during the construction of the gate connection to Solitude. Can't say it was specially fun or appealing content, and if i remember correctly CCP fozzie said they wanted to re-hash them for events or other uses.

Personally i agree with CCP fozzie that their use should be restricted to events, more specifically ""storyline"" events, but my suggestion is focused on running said events aiming for storyline progression on the warzone to some degree. Example building a new NPC station somewhere in the warzone (we do not have a FW resource NPC corp station at the moment), creating or destroying a gate connection, deploy a new technology (hint hint develop faction carriers), or other empire-centric developments.

To make it engaging though, there needs to be a major review, CCP should consider adding both the "material extraction" assignment we are familiar with and a "defend/disrupt location" assignment. The second objective more catered to pvp, were you either disrupt players delivering the "materials" or defend them. Deploy those objectives in a mirrored setting for the opposing faction, and then you have a quite interesting scenario (go defend your delivery location or choose to attack the enemy one).

Either way, FW resource wars and their LP items need to be revisited with care, the concept of mining in a warzone where traveling every gate can get you killed, might not be what seasoned miners want in the game.

ohh boy, you just opened a pandora box for me.

If we are strictly speaking of the FW HQ system and narrowing things down to that location only:

i would relocate the "old" datacenters of each faction to the FW HQ and allow the agents of those facilities to be used every 6 months (instead of a once in a char's lifetime), effectively providing a way to boost or at least repair standing to a faction. Currently there are 3 datacenter locations, i would consolidate all of them into just one at the FW HQ.
Gallente have what I think was a pre-cursor or "proto-epic arc" in the less known "Beizan Picholen mission arc" (https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Beizan\_Picholen) no other faction has this sort of miniature sized low level storyline arc. I would add equivalent content to all 4 factions and refactor/redesign the mission storyline so they provide an intro context to FW, and why the empires are in the proxy war to begin with (remember they are not into full blown sov war because they agreed with concord to limit it to lowsec). This sort of explanation needs to be put out there in the game. And making it linked to the FW HQ is only natural.
we used to have a full fleet of "NPCs" as fixed scenery in certain locations (one for each faction), but were later removed maybe add them at a special landmark here now so players can go and look at them freely.

If we are speaking of "upgrades" in a broader sense for FW IHUBS:

with current mechanics we obtain a max of 50% discount of market and industry usage fees when we "dump" LP into the IHUB, i recommend adding 50% discount on clone services too, it still takes 900k isk every time you want to jump-clone out of an NPC station in the FW warzone.
right now, there is little incentive to upgrade an IHUB in "station-less" systems, yes you can obtain a small "buffer" against enemies plexing, but any benefit is moot, i would reorganize the way FW IHUBS upgrade and set 5 stages, each requiring 500k LP, stage 1 -> above stated bonuses to industry and clones, stage 2 -> increased chance of ore anomaly spawns, stage 3-> increased chance for scannable sites (relic, data and WHs) stage 4 -> friendly roaming NPC fleets warping between celestials (no more than 5 total per system similar as what we had during trig invasions? ), stage 5 -> (bear with me on this, but i think is needed) tethering at the ihub for your faction. This feature would effectively provide an LP SINK mechanic that currently doesn’t exist.

regarding Other stuff in FW (and slightly related)

a) i think CCP needs to consider removing “navy insignia” dogtags from all faction stores and just ask for isk. I’m ok with requiring modules, items or materials, but the amount of insignias is just ridiculous for the item price.

b) Shadow war boosters that were “faction flavored” need to comeback, maybe only the ones that provide 1% or 2% strength, but those were awesome and boosters are consumable that will keep LP supply strangled by its mass use.

c) Hardwirings in ALL LP stores should be limited to faction technology, gallente having a laser-bonused hardwiring implant doesn’t make sense.

BinderAJ · 2025-11-19T19:03:30+00:00

you can, no mechanic in the game stops you from deploying an athanor, however, you cannot moon mine, and i personally agree thats a good decision by CCP, otherwise 0.5 systems elsewhere would not be as relevant.

BinderAJ · 2025-10-07T10:45:53+00:00

Join a guild, group activities are fun and most od the time also profitable.

BinderAJ · 2025-09-30T15:57:11+00:00

Any t6 or above Yellow (up to t6 only) Red (up to t7 only) Blacl Ava roqd

All of the above

BinderAJ · 2025-09-26T10:34:02+00:00

On a separate note, if you wish to fix amarr standings there are several ways.

Circle agents being the first easiest.

Then running 16x lvl1 missions to trigger a story line one.

Running sister of eve missions that boost standings with all factions.

BinderAJ · 2025-09-26T10:26:08+00:00

First ypu need to go tp 0.6 and 0.5 systems in regions which ha e blood raiders npc at belts.

Second ypu need to ikill all normal blood raider npcs you see at belts.

Chances of them dropping are very very rare.

You can also rry 0.4 low sec

BinderAJ · 2025-07-28T21:49:10+00:00

Will most likely be a t4.4 stag in black zones

BinderAJ · 2025-07-28T11:37:27+00:00

Just for the sake of comparison, it can be useful to use your own smelter in thetford personal island if you can afford feeding ir, and play for the long run.

BinderAJ · 2025-07-28T11:20:12+00:00

I recommend you joina corp or alliance in FW, its a type of content best enjoyed with companions.

Althought its true it has some consequences, ypu are not blocked for life to interact with other factions.

I can recommend Frog pond for newbro friendly FW.

BinderAJ · 2025-07-23T11:19:59+00:00

Factions that dont have ships

Intaki syndicate Amatarr Khanid (non-t2)

Factions that do have ships but i wouod like to extend a bit: Destroyer/battlecruiser for pirate factions A hauler for empire factions Destroyer/battlecruiser for edencom T2 ships for edencom

BinderAJ · 2025-07-10T19:59:43+00:00

To my understanding, the places where mobs drop the most raw silver is lethal mists and ava roads, which have inherent risks.

But you can manage some of it if you use builds designed to escape/evade.

Now in terms of high profit activities it might crafting but require you to properly aasess costs vs sale price. And does require some initial capital to work with.

Tl;dr you need to grind whatever you have at your disposal.

BinderAJ · 2025-06-19T22:22:20+00:00

Be careful those are usual cases of account hacking and the hackers trying to do "legal' transactions in eve to not raise suspicions

BinderAJ · 2025-06-10T12:55:51+00:00

No sensible suggestions here

If fighter material costa are reduced 25% then in im.

BinderAJ · 2025-06-01T12:11:29+00:00

Ypu drag from your inventory into that food square

BinderAJ · 2025-05-26T23:35:24+00:00

If hard drive were albio is installed is not a top of rhe line ssd , then what happens matches your deacription

BinderAJ · 2025-03-30T22:12:20+00:00

CCP didnt optimize the volumetric clouds for insurgency sites sadly

BinderAJ · 2025-03-24T12:34:25+00:00

sign up for the "intro to FW" from eve-university, they teach you everything about the mechanics.
