It is common knowledge that **EVE Online** features **Factional Warfare** and **Pirate Insurgency** gameplay, where players earn victories and **Loyalty Points (LP)** by eliminating enemy ships and capturing combat anomalies. These anomalies are tiered by size: **1-man, 3-man, 4-man, 10-man, and 30-man** , with the **30-man variant offering the highest LP rewards**.

If you join the **Pirate Militia** and choose the **Angel Cartel** faction, however, your LP income will inevitably be the lowest—and many must wonder why.

The root cause lies in the **Pirate 30-man anomaly** , where both Pirate and Empire forces must compete to secure a **fuel ship that spawns at the far end of the site** after warp-in.

For **Angel Cartel pilots** , approaching the fuel ship triggers the message:

**“You have joined the wrong faction.”**

This bug completely prevents Angel Cartel members from earning any LP in the 30-man anomaly at all.

By contrast, the Angel Cartel’s enemies—the **Amarr Empire** and **Minmatar Republic** —can:

1. Run their own Empire 30-man anomalies for LP, and

2. Then enter the Angel Cartel’s Pirate 30-man anomalies to contest the fuel ship there as well.

This bug has persisted for **over a year** , allowing Amarr and Minmatar players to easily control the fuel ship spawns, quickly complete the 30-man site, and farm LP with impunity. Because **Angel Cartel members cannot even select the tractor option normally** , they have abandoned the 30-man anomaly entirely.

Forced by this bug, many have left the Angel Cartel faction and defected to the Amarr or Minmatar militias— **exploiting the bug to gain far more LP than they ever could as pirates**.

Well, that’s definitely a bummer…

Hopefully everybody involved has submitted a Bug report…
