I looked into FW for the first time today. It seems like a lot of fun. I think there should be a tutorial about this. Ingame i mean. Basic mechanics like signing up or well, doing something. ---

Faction warfare is good fun, the most important thing to understand is it will trash your standings with some empire factions. This means the safest faction to side with is Caldari, they don’t necessarily have the best lp store, but you won’t cut yourself off from Jita. If you have a hauling alt or pay the frogs though that concern can be negated. In my experience most public pvp roams leave from Jita so you won’t hamper future pvp aspirations for that toon either. That being said you can fix faction standings it is just a slog. The best way currently you learn about FW is to join a FW corp. in my opinion the roleplaying FW corps have the most fun because it’s not just about grinding that LP for the market. ---

There are various guides and videos for it, easy to google. Two helpful ones are: [https://wiki.bravecollective.com/public/dojo/wiki/faction\_warfare](https://wiki.bravecollective.com/public/dojo/wiki/faction_warfare) > **[Novice Frigates Yearbook 2021.pdf](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IriZDp5vFOoFFpuJKmg9Tj0sEdXwaPUs/view)** > > Google Drive file. Faction standings are an issue. Best to either try it out with an alt or new account, or plan to spend time repairing them later. ---

It’s likely to be pretty vague still especially with the flak they took for announcing the industry changes too early and having to change some of them after. There has been some mention within the community of pirate FW but I don’t know where that originated. I am a little excited by it though. ---

Another important thing to know that I wasn’t told when I started. Just because they are on the same side in the war doesn’t mean they won’t shoot you. If someone flies into your site they are probably an awoxer. ---

And? I ran Caldari missions until I was 5.7 with Cal State. I have run very few Gallente missions. A portion of your standings are _derived_. But no portion of my Gallente standings are the result of Factional Warfare. Here: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/6/5/f65c482cdbf4366f053c458afe002e96ddf2b00c.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/7/8/9/789a369f86bf85fed010c1844c70acb8f2576775.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/1/0/b/10b5836abf921acac702db750ec1d791018c2afa.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/b/5/3b51b620ab211da9ce677900de048febe455bbf2.png) The only FW activities that affect your standings are: killing FW mission NPCs (applies to regular missions as well btw), killing the rats in complexes, and being promoted. But these changes are miniscule. There are people in CalMil who have done FW for years and are still positive with Gallente Federation. It’s not something to have any concern over.
