While other treatments will be made, this document is decisively pro-PVP, in favor of larger scale objectives, and in favor of doing what it takes to funnel the faction warfare economy through wholesome faction warfare playstyles. This document was drafted out of the iterated proposals to create a monolithic, coherent representation and leave no doubt to downstream consumers that the proposals are intended to work together. Most items in this document were individually presented to the Eve Reddit and linked here.
Many of the original designs in the Reddit thread were represented, iterated, and debated. Later, during the most recent CSM campaign, one of the pro-facwar focus candidates, Matthew Dust organized a FW Discord to receive various proposals.

Access to new LP sinks will be exclusive to achieving warzone milestones. Warzone control will affect the use of citadels in ways that reward winners and present dilemmas for losers without stifling competitive forward deployments. Meaningful dynamics to system & warzone control including access to endgame opportunities to cash out new LP reward accounts.XL & Large plexes to create new apex meta niches. Multi-timer objective plexes for warzone milestone and endgame challenges. Checkpoint plexes to periodically limit low-effort system control progress. Much more overall variety in combat plexes and use of combat plex style fighting for objectives that presently invite no PVP such a system upgrades & downgrades.Eliminate opportunities for unlimited passive & anti-social playstyles that encourage botting, farming, opportunist, AFK, and other dilutive forms of play.Buff PVP rewards overall and shift most PVE income to PVP while also tying maximal PVE income & opportunities to PVP participation. PVP-centric shift in rewards & content richness.Focus & drive conflict with more diverse PVP objectives while equitably engaging all TZ’s, preventing timezone gaming or anti-social opportunism.
