I feel like FW was forgotten by ccp to allow such an obvious exploit to just pass by for the last decade. Sitting on-site then having an ally jump in and immediately lock then attack me, while albeit not very often, or going to a BF and immediately being attacked by alts of a corporation that wants their 5 accounts each all to get the lp themselves is ruining the whole “Faction vs Faction” thing that I thought this was supposed to be about. Why is there no punishments for this? Killing a member of your own faction should immediately boot you out of said faction, but instead I’m seeing -10 security status people with a zkillboard of nothing but their own faction allies, like what?

Those sound like tax collectors.
Make sure you pay all faction taxes on time.
Could make it so you literally cannot shoot people in same or allied faction. In order to enlist you have to give them access to your ships targeting system and safety features. Would make sense. Prevent people from avoiding consequences of faction choice. Win win for everyone.
How is that a win for me?
But i heard there are also people that center their playstyle on those consequences? What about those then? You want to limit the sandbox and take fun away?
welcome to fw, where the stab is mandatory and allies are just red with a shade of blue that will also stab you for that LP
obbligatory: shot frat
So after AWOXing someone, how do I get my standings back up to do it again?
Is it fairly easy?
Yay lets finally fix this - either disallow FW blue on blue kills or auto-kick and ban on rejoining for a week.
Could remove NPC militias to eliminate AWOXing while keeping the sandbox intact.
FW needs something like a military “friend or foe” (IFF) system.

How should a smartbomb exactly be teached where to apply the damage to and where not to? That discussion will be interesting… 
CCP just needs to remove corporation enlistment for FW, or have it hard kick you if you’re under -2. Regardless of corporate standing.

What do you think the red flashing icon on war targets is?
Anyone who enters a FW plex or has the standings for FW missions should be able to do the content, no enlistments required. Everyone would start neutral then and form their own militias naturally, reducing AWOXing and seagulling while possibly bringing more players to low-sec.
As a side note FW systems shouldnt just be FW systems. But at the moment you only see the cov research combat anomaly and fw anomalies there. How about some more variance. Like some hubs or dens. Spice it up. But i digress.
The enlistment is required so that the opposing side of the war can shoot you without penalty should they see you in highsec.

Thats a terrible idea
Sure it is…
Because you should be able to fly risk free in space belonging to people you’re actively at war with?
Do you even think before you post?

So no, you don’t.
Got it.

If enlistment isn’t required, you’re not at war.
