for the record it was less that i let you and more that i didnt expect a blood thirsty imicus to scram me :stuck_out_tongue:

Accessibility to the region should not be reduced, but having filaments to control where you land in the region needs to be removed

absolutely not

Marauders are definitely making the obs meta in pochven pretty stale, although it does cycle through different marauder metas here and there

the main issue is that marauders simply have too much range and application and scale nearly infinitely for multiboxers

So prepared. Thankyou for replying. Good luck!

You picked an issue that you’re passionate about, the stability of content in Pochven . You demonstrated how it’s impacting the game and provided evidence to support your claim. You demonstrated that there’s likely a reasonable way forward. Other reasonable people share your concern and support your perspective. And you’ve shown that you’re capable of communicating your findings in an effective manner, that is also meaningful. and impactful.

So cool.

Big thank you to Loru for the interview and for streaming the Totality day event
(its a full stream video, interview starts at 12:55)

Voting begins today!

I will also be posting my personal ballot once voting goes live

67

Voting is live! Here is how I am voting, you can use my link below to get to the voting page with my recommendations but I stress that your vote should always be your own

@Drake_Iddon - me, obviously

@Phantomite - My homeboi who has been on the CSM previously, generally quite eloquent and has the health of EVE as his primary goal

@Seddow - My other homeboi, Seddow is a very well known pilot and FC who has huge experience across all of EVE, his primary goal above all is facilitating content which is exactly what we need on the CSM

@Mick_Fightmaster - The CSM has a very large mark sized hole to fill for wormhole representation, Mick has impressed me alot during the campaigning period and this was an easy include on my ballot

@Itaer - A very well respected small gang pilot who will provide vauable insight into ship balance and to constantly bring often forgotten and unloved content and issues into the light so that they get the attention that they deserve

@Gideon_Zendikar Gideon is another player who is purely conflict and content focused, who once again has been eloquently campaigning for what he believes in

@Dujek_Oneye While he is now primarily a nullsec player, he has many similar goals to myself and the others in this list, also a fellow pochven resident of old

@Kshal_Aideron Without sufficient retention of new players EVE will eventually wither and die, Kshal leads by example and devotes her game time to elevating new players and her ideas for the NPE and retention are something that deserves a 2nd term on the CSM

@Luke_Anninan Luke and I disagree on many things and agree on many other things, but the man has always been respectful and sincere in all interactions (and arguments) that we have had over the past few years, a professional through and through

@Kazanir Kaz is the nullsec man with the nullsec plan, he has recognized his favored area of space is not living up to what it should be, if his ideas get implemented then i genuinely believe that it would be a step up for the game as a whole

Honorable Mentions (i cant link these because a post is 10 character links max):

DutchGunner - the man lives the lore of EVE and is also a fellow pochven boi, I personally am fully focused on the health of the game of eve as a game, but if you want a lore candidate then i would say dutch is your man

Frozen Fallout - I have admittedly not interacted with frozen much, but he seems to genuinely have the health of faction warfare at his heart and it is no secret that, like pochven, there are alot of unsolved problems with FW

Ariel Rin - While this is ENTIRELY outside of my expertise, ESI and 3rd party tooling is part of the life blood of the game at this point and we see that it regularly has problems for everyone involved in it, Ariel deserves a solid shot at the CSM given how much he personally has done for the game on the 3rd party development front

If you want to use my voting ballot you can find it here: but again remember this is your vote, not mine, vote for the change in eve that YOU want to see

Thats a really nice interview, especially the part with the Observation Flashpoint Sites. I totally agree with your proposed changes, tbh I would love to have more “bounty” based rewards turned into “loot token” based rewards, so defending the loot is part of the income-generating process and it can actually be attacked, claimed by hostiles or destroyed entirely if not carefully handled. It adds more risk and more options for (non-consensual) interaction. Plan vs plan, strategy vs strategy…

And… yeah, even while I use them myself of course: Marauders are still too strong. They just overshadow any other option, even the faction battleships by far. And this cannot be balanced via “costs”, as the current income options allow to afford them easily, no matter how expensive they are. I would really see a nerf that limits their projection/range and/or application. Let them have an unmatched tank, let them have unmatched (brawling) DPS. But absolutely remove all range or application boni, from the hulls and the bastion module.

I also greatly appreciate your shown love and dedication for Pochven, even while I don’t agree that it is the best space of EVE, obviously, as I am a wormholer :). Pochen - in my opinion - is too small and too easily dominated by a numbers-blob full of alts. With the inability to use cynos and the inability to use capitals for hotdropping, Pochven really could be the small- and medium-scale PvP paradise Lowsec once was. If it would be 250 or 500 systems large. Too large to be controlled by one or some large entities, unlike the current Triangle that is too linear and too easily blocked/camped/dominated by the one big group of their timezone. Enough space to actually allow smaller groups to settle and roam, make their money and do their skirmishes and brawls without big groups being able to interfere with their mass-fleets. That would be a dreamland.

thank you for the kind words man i appreciate it

If it would be 250 or 500 systems large.

i feel like that would be to the detriment of pochven itself, personally i think the lucrative draw is great but the forced conflict isnt good enough, honestly i have been wondering about UPPING the payout slightly but cutting the sites active at any one time from 3 to 2

the linear paths i think are good, they draw out conflict (while it is sometimes tale conflict, it is conflict nonetheless)

i do like the idea of a few hundred systems without cynos, but honestly that would probably pull so much away from lowsec i feel it would be quite detrimental to k space as a whole, on the flip side i could see a future where pochven is larger (say 54 or 81? systems, 81 seems too much) and it had a 3 way eternal faction warfare system, but that would be a pipedream really

only 3 days of voting left!

Also big thank you for the write up and reccomendation by Lord Omega and Tali Yamo that you can find here: CSM 19 Recommendations

Fighting against toxicity is a strong case, as it comes with the territory of gaming -everywhere-

However. How would you handle a hypothetical stalemate wherein both parties are believe the other to be toxic, but only one party can really be telling the truth.

But then again, truth is based on the perspective of the perceiver.

How would you handle this?

73

the opinions of the accusers are irrelevant, they can both supply evidence to back up their claims and then any action done is based off of said (and any additional) evidence

74

So how do you handle a situation where the accused claims the victim has fabricated evidence?
