If you join the pirate side and pick the Angel Cartel faction, your LP gains will be the lowest by far. Many players must wonder what causes this issue.
Inside the pirate 30-man anomaly, pirate and empire factions compete for a fuel ship that spawns at the far end of the site after players warp in. When Angel Cartel pilots approach this fuel ship, they receive the prompt: “You have joined the wrong faction”. This error completely stops Angel Cartel members from earning any LP in this site.
Roughly four to five 30-man anomalies spawn each day, and a new one always appears right after daily server downtime (DT). Ironically, only the 30-man anomaly spawned post-DT works normally; all others are affected by this bug.
Factions hostile to the Angel Cartel, namely the Amarr Empire and Minmatar Republic, can first complete their own empire 30-man anomalies, then move on to the Angel Cartel pirate 30-man sites as well.
This bug has existed for more than a year. Amarr and Minmatar players easily take control of the fuel ships and finish the anomalies quickly to farm LP. Since Angel Cartel pilots cannot use the tractor beam function properly, they have completely given up on running these 30-man sites.
Forced by this long-standing bug, numerous Angel Cartel members have left the faction and switched to the Amarr or Minmatar militias, purely to take advantage of this glitch and gain far more LP.
