Additional ships from your faction will not make the timer count down faster; if you leave the complex, the timer will pause (but will not reset). If an enemy ship enters the complex, the timer will also pause until ships from only one faction are present in the complex, and then it will resume counting down. Note that the timers for both factions are additive - so if a Caldari pilot has spent three minutes capturing a complex, and is then destroyed by an incoming Gallente pilot, the Gallente pilot would have to spend an ''extra'' three minutes in the complex in order to capture it (in order to "undo the capturing" previously done by the Caldari pilot, so to speak). | Additional ships from your faction will not make the timer count down faster; if you leave the complex, the timer will pause (but will not reset).

Neutral pilots (i.e. pilots who are not enlisted in a militia) can enter a complex, but cannot capture it (their presence doesn't affect the complex' timer). Pilots in a militia can capture complexes in their ally's warzone, but only on their ally's behalf (so, for example, a pilot fighting for the Minmatar could go to the Caldari-Gallente warzone and capture a complex on behalf of their ally (the Gallente)). | ||
Once a complex has been captured, it disappears from the scanner/overview and despawns after a few minutes. A new complex of the same size will spawn about 30 minutes after the previous one was captured. On average, there will be one or two complexes of each [[#Complex types|type]] in a system. However, if many players have been active in a system recently, it may be the case that, for a brief time, there are no complexes available to capture. | Once a complex has been captured, it disappears from the scanner/overview and despawns after a few minutes.

Formally, how "contested" a system is is measured in how many victory points have been accumulated by the attacking faction for that system. If the attacking faction has not yet accumulated any victory points for that system, then the system is [[#Capturing systems|"stable"]], and if they then capture a complex (regardless of its size) they are rewarded with 20 victory points<ref>[http://www.gamerchick.net/2013/01/the-beginners-guide-to-faction-war.html GamerChick42: The Beginner's Guide to Faction War Plexing] (2013)</ref> (conversely, if the defending faction captures a complex, 20 victory points are subtracted). In order to bring a system to "vulnerable", the attacking faction must accumulate 3000 victory points (i.e. capture 150 complexes more than the defending faction). Once a system is vulnerable, the attacking faction can continue capturing complexes until they have a "buffer" of 100 victory points<ref name="patch notes inferno 1.3">[ | Formally, how "contested" a system is is measured in how many victory points have been accumulated by the attacking faction for that system.

If at any point your (unmodified, i.e. without taking [[Skills:Social|skills]] into account) standings towards your faction drop below 0.0, you will receive a warning mail to raise them back up at the next [[server downtime]]. If you have not recovered your standings until the downtime after that (i.e. two downtimes after the standing drop), you will be instantly kicked out of the FW militia. The same rules apply for corporation who join FW, except that in that case it's the corporation's faction standings which counts. | If at any point your (unmodified, i.e. without taking [[Skills:Social|skills]] into account) standings towards your faction drop below 0.0, you will receive a warning mail to raise them back up at the next [[server downtime]].

After you leave Factional Warfare the navies of your enemy factions will still attack you for several hours (even if you join the opposing faction militia!) Your status as an "enemy of the state" does not show up in your standings, so be careful when you attempt to travel. Either re-logging into your character or waiting up to 16 hours is enough for the enemy navies to forget about you, though this mechanic remains unexplored as to whether it is functioning as intended or in any form of consistency.<ref>[ | After you leave Factional Warfare the navies of your enemy factions will still attack you for several hours (even if you join the opposing faction militia!)
