Greetings, We have just [released a development blog](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/state-of-the-union) going over the upcoming Factional Warfare changes and the Frontline system! Please use this thread to discuss it with other Capsuleers. You can also submit more questions for the upcoming Q&A on the official [EVE Online Discord](https://www.eveonline.com/discord). ---

Will the “mercing” feature at Fanfest be included in this update? It was not in the dev blog (i.e. the ability to join FW without leaving your existing corp or forcing your entire corp to enroll) ---

Only one question. I will be able to join FW without changing corporation or enlisting corp/joining NPC FW corp like it is now? ---

It’s all WIP yet after all even 3 months since the fanfest yeah ? Poke me again when you actually can deploy the implementation at least on Singurality. Not sure if the game still exists at the time though. ---

Do EDENCOM, ORE, Triglavian, and the various non-pirate, special edition ships count as pirate faction or T1 in the new system classification? ---

My understanding from previous implementations is Triglavian, Venture, EDENCOM all count as standard T1 though this could change so clarity would be nice. Tomorrow’s livestream might offer Q&A opportunities. ---

Let’s see how it goes. Most people in my corp are very, very disillusioned with things regarding EVE updates so if this is an actual, functional engaging thing like it was done with Pochven (talking space design not especially all site design since those really need some attention (world ark and non observatory flashpoints)) then perhaps the status quo of them all expecting only failure might shift to being more engaged about EVEs future. Their current est. is 0.69/10 in regards of what they expect from EVEs future you better go and make it 6.9 CCP 😉 ---

Great I love what I am reading, nice thought put into this. The complexity of the capture system will keep us developing new strategies for awhile before it enters solved state. +1 CCP well done. ---

Edencom is Navy Ore is t1 Trig not sure it has its own Precursor folder lol for its strength and balancing purposes I would say pirate for sure. Vedmak is the strongest none t2 cruiser in the game imo. ---
