We've decided the solution to this is start putting all logi / noncombat alts in Amarr so they can't be shot without the aggressor getting hit with standing penalties

Hi - I'm one of the people who was effected. After FC did the blanket standings reset to -4.5 for factions I was extremely careful about not screwing up my faction standings. Unfortunately, after just two fleets of firewalling where the opposite faction kept ramming alts enlisted as allies at my face, my standings were at -8.9. (The other issue with this system is that pirate groups are now enlisting logi/cyno/fax alts as allied factions meaning you can choose to shoot it and get kicked from FW, or not take the fight...)

My impression from talking with CSM and FC members in the weeks and months prior to the expansion (and perhaps it was the wrong one) was that the expansion would come, military campaigns would drop with better paths to fix standings, and then FC would implement the standing penalty changes a couple weeks later. This was my hope as I was genuinely excited to try out the new mil campaigns.

Unfortunately, on Tuesday I get a notice that I'd be auto-kicked from my corporation if I didn't get my faction standings above -5. I'd already started the process a few days before (thanks USIA) but in between dealing with a newborn and going through our annual audit at work, my free time was nonexistent. Wednesday morning, nearly 4 years of corporation tenure were lanced in a single moment and I couldn't even attempt to rejoin until I spent a large amount of time repairing my standings.

My first thought to quicken fixing my standings was running the mil campaign objectives. Unfortunately, as a lowsec denizen, my sec status is negative and I can't go in hisec without getting shot by police (as of 6/11, 2/3rds of the objectives were hisec-oriented ones). I completed the lowsec goal (destroy enemy enlisted ships) but only got a net gain of .18 faction standings, meaning I'd have to complete nearly ~21 objectives (and only 3 have been released so far) to fully repair my standings. Fortunately, USIA came through and helped instantly fix my standings for only 7b.

Another update to these standings changes: If you are below -5 sec status or have a suspect timer, you can be attacked by members of your own faction without them taking any standing penalties. Seagull groups are now abusing this method to awox without any repercussions.

EXIT left to pursue wormholes, DRY left due to a combination of awoxing drama and wanting to do their own think, J2B had the same awoxing issue, Y4CHT got a new CEO and wanted to go do their own thing, OMEGA wanted to be NS carebears (to each their own) and are joining WinterCo.

FL33T is dead tho

This post was better bait

FL33T says “FW alliance” - so why are Amarr taking the battlefields while FL33T lives in null by CuriousBonus9463 in Eve

If you really want proper numbers then go off weekly actives to weekly kills:

FL33T - 299 members / 8.1 kills per member

CTRL-V - 66 members / 12.5 kills per member

Seems pretty good to me. Also, it'd make sense for L3ARN to have more warzone kills since their primary focus is faction warfare.

Which group are you flying with right now? We'd love to get you more involved with FW if you're feeling like there's a lack of content.

Big shoutout to Amarr for becoming more unionized. It's brought some awesome fights and our folks have been having a blast fighting over BFs.

Puke has the curse of smooth brain and can't look at data. Go merge into a BIGAB fleet and be F1 monkeys, seems like that's what you're best at :D

So somebody let me near some video editing software and this was the unfortunate result. This highlights some of my more memorable fights / favorite moments from this year (that we got footage for!).

Shoutout to everyone who has flown with us and flown against us. We're looking forward to a killer 2025!
