I have proposed one over years, put the focus on frigates, destroyers, and cruisers.
All those are easy to lose, and thus encourage people to just get one and get in. Reduce the amount of sites and people will start looking for them and thus fighting for them, and with factions in the mix, they will starting coalescing in those plexes.
With Uprising and Havoc, they put the emphasis on Battlecruisers and Battleships, dreaming of Battleship brawls and FW fielding dreads.
Well, we can see the result, none of that happened
Instead, we got a farm fest, they made all those sites out of plexes, and they are only used to farm and never contested.
It’s a massive failure, and that because they went against the natural advantages of the zone, to please pirates and pirate-adjacent FW corp leaders.
I mean I live there, I fight there, I know the region. This is simply wrong.
FW is livelier with more fights than ever right now. Cruiser 1v1s and even Battlecruiser 1v many are common. It’s a fantastic environment and it’s a ton of fun. It’s, in my opinion, the most non-failure in their recent history. Two thumbs up!
Yes it is. Larger fleet action definitely still exists, but the core of FW is a training ground for pvp for new players or a hunting ground and dueling ground for solo players.
