Fog Of War (Consensus)
Just wanted to get a general consensus of Frontier Wars new Fog Of War system (Where you have to discover a system before it exists to you)
I like it imo. It adds a lot of mystery and exploration to the game and introduces new aspects and strategies that werent previously present. Sure it can be annoying at times but thats part of the fun.. The game definately seems a lot more space-like then it was before, u go through a black hole and you're in a whole new area and u have to explore to get back. its different, but enjoyable.

I love it Forces more teamwork when a corp moves into a new area, or else various corp members get lost in the fog and have to find their way back to the group.
Sure, artis/taxis/escorts are mostly impossible, but so what? artis can be found in ports for around 1-5mil credits, and are actually probably more common there than they were on planets to begin with. And really, who taxis or escorts? trading is so much more efficient.
Altogether way more fun than non-fog. I like the added necessity for corp mates working more closely together

Re: Fog Of War (Consensus)
i've said it since the beginning and i'll say it again:
FoW is a great concept but should be on an extended, not a perma. As cloud pointed out it will just end up being the same as any other perma, and a dead, mod one at that
it averages in the high single digits in the evenings.. which isn't bad for this day and age

Re: Fog Of War (Consensus)
FW is definitely more active than p5. Are you thinking of p1? I've seen a slight increase in activity there since Chaos came, but nothing really over on p5. Even still though, I almost always see more on FW than p1 or p5

Re: Fog Of War (Consensus)
perhaps if there was something unique to search though the galaxy for, or unique about the server itself it would be a good idea. but all it does in its current state is make the server have to be played at an incredibly slow pace to start out on.
Re: Fog Of War (Consensus)
thats why a lot of people play blitz, its unique from anythin else
Re: Fog Of War (Consensus)
Any1 who said Ga is way more active than Fw is so wrong, fw usually has more or just less than ga, the other day i saw 15 on fw and 2 on ga
