Faction Warfare 101

FW is where SLINS cuts its teeth: constant PvP, steady LP/ISK, and a perfect training ground for new warriors.

How FW Works

  • Militia vs Militia: Minmatar vs Amarr; Gallente vs Caldari.
  • System Control: Capture complexes (“plexes”) to flip the warzone.
  • Rewards: ISK via LP payouts + constant fights.

Plex Sizes & Ships

  • Novice: T1 frigates only
  • Small: Frigs + destroyers
  • Medium: Cruisers (no BS)
  • Large: No gate restrictions

Quick Start

  • Fit a cheap T1 frigate (AB + scram/web + small rep).
  • Undock with ammo, paste, and nanite.
  • Use d-scan every few seconds; watch local.

Tip: In a novice plex, orbit the beacon at ~20km with AB to live longer.

How Plexing Works

  1. Warp to a plex in an FW system and enter the gate (size-limited).
  2. Inside, orbit the capture beacon until the timer finishes.
  3. If enemy militia enters, the timer pauses — that’s your fight.
  4. Offensive plexing (enemy space) pays most LP; defensive is safer.

Making ISK in FW

Plexing

Run offensive plexes for higher LP. Defensive plexes are lower risk but pay less.

FW Missions

Courier/kill missions with big LP payouts. Great once you know the routes.

LP → ISK

Flip LP into faction hulls/modules (e.g., Firetail, RF mods) and sell in Hek or Jita.

Fighting in the Warzone

  • Expect losses. That’s normal — fights are cheap and frequent.
  • Fly the meta. Frigs/destroyers/cruisers shine; SLINS doctrines overlap FW.
  • Comms & Intel. Be on Discord; d-scan and local are life.

With SLINS in FW

Daily content, ISK to fund your PvP, and fleets that teach — fast. Start in doctrines you can fly now, then scale up.
