== Rewards ==

~~So far FW was released pre-nerfed so apart from gaining standing with the FW militia and the one of the four empires there aren't any inherent rewards apart from Ranks.~~

~~Plexing was never intend to be lucrative~~, ~~so there are no bounties for NPCs and apart from~~ militia ~~tags and salvage~~, which are ~~sometimes hard to gain there isn't much profit to be made~~.

With [http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=671 War is a full time job] CCP introduced the factional warfare LP shop, where members of the militia have a fixed discount on the faction ships in the LP store. In addition CCP offered additional faction navy items, which are only attainable from the factional warfare LP shop.

Missions do payout LP and ISK but compared to normal mission, ~~they~~ payout is way smaller with a far higher risk having to operate in low-sec with the “please gank me” sign on your pod.

Together with this CCP introduced gaining LP for shooting other ppl militia members based on the rank and shiptype the enemy was sailing. The formula used is:

[Total given LP value]: [Ship hull LP]x[Ship tech level LP]x[Pilot FW rank]

''The LP value will be evenly divided for each gang member in grid range of the kill, no matter which ship they may be flying. Also, LPs will only be given for killing your militia direct opponents, not allies to them (as a Federation pilot, you will not receive LPs for destroying an Amarr pilot ship for example).''

With the upcoming [http://www.eveonline.com/dominion/ Dominion] expansion CCP is [http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1172933 overhauling the existing faction navy ships and adding the tier one navy ships], again only attainable from the factional warfare LP shops.

Still Plexing was never intend to be lucrative, so there are no bounties for NPCs and apart from militia tags and salvage, which are sometimes hard to gain there isn't much profit to be made.

FW Missions do payout LP and ISK but compared to normal mission, the payout is way smaller with a far higher risk having to operate in low-sec with the “please gank me” sign on your pod, which should now be compensated with the items only obtainable through the FW LP shop.

=== Ranks ===

Ranks are the only visible reward you gain from participating in FW, which do sound and look nice are tied to your standing with the FW militia. They sadly do nothing apart from looking and sounding nice.
