Get into a group. That will be the best way to shorten wait times for Faction drops. Hit up the lfg queue and get as close to a twelve man as you can, and you will be fine. Solo dropping, there will be a wait. Half hour is not un-normal.

chat in faction chat call for players (meaning write on which planet you are), when there is more IS than clan - attack IS factions, same for clan
prevent ghost drops, play the game not the wait, attack where you can meed defense, defend where there is attack

Dropping in 12 mans attracts other 12 mans. I find one of the best ways to move through queues is to find your factions TS and jump on their. There's always someone willing to group up as it'll lower time because you'll not be waiting for players to fill your drop.

I'm sorry for really newbie question, but:
does the faction you choose as Mercenary affect the number of Invasion mode "popups"? (I believe these popups are called "Call to Arms".)
Assume please, for simplicity, that the question is only about IS factions.

I'm seeing a VERY low number of popups for Invasion, and I'm wondering if this is because I was greedy/stupid and chose the one with the lowest population.
I'm not sure whether this choice is the reason. The other possible explanation is that I have last paid attention to these popups during a CW event.

Since you are aligned with Liao at the moment I will say it from their point of view.

Liao can

Defend other IS Factions from Clans
Attack Davion

This based on everyone can defend there tech factions from the other tech. Then you can attack Davion (based on Liao still) because Liao loyalists have voted to attack Davion. The only other way you can get another border is if other factions choose to attack you.

Thanks a lot for the reply!
I understand it now, you can defend from other tech and you can fight with the factions you are in conflict in.

What I really do not understand is: are there almost none Clan attacks on IS happening right now?

There is extremely few Defending popups I can see. During the CW event they would happen every few minutes, now I can spot them once per a long gaming session if lucky.

I would imagine liao is pretty quiet right now... if you owe no special allegiance to liao, but want to stay IS, go steiner or FRR for more action.

If you want try clan, go jade falcon...

You can break you liao contract by leaving you current unit (is it a one-man unit?), and forming a new unit under the desired faction...

Have a look at the scout status of the planet. See if the enemy has long tom (they mostly do if you are IS). Then go and defend that planet against the 70+ clanners still queuing. Insta match. every 5-10 minutes. You'll get loads of matches.
