Introduction
I’ve been a Horde Alliance and Blessed Bean Director for almost 8 years now, and I lead the Capital Umbrella famously known as Pankrab. I joined Horde in the midst of World War Bee 1 right before we full moved to O1Y-ED in Fade because I saw this video on Reddit, lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9yZnKieUhA
Why am I Running Again For CSM 19?
The late Kobe Bryant said it best https://youtu.be/fY7l2pcxdHM?si=WT5UPio9dCoOseB3&t=8 Jobs not finished. Jobs finished? No, I don’t think so.
CSM 18 Accomplishments
- All minerals back to null
- Reduced Megacyte requirement in CRABs which made them significantly cheaper than pre-expansion
- Metenox introduced in Equinox
- Also re-introduced the manual rep requirement for passive moons as a means to get more chances at fights
- Single target DD buffed to 3m damage
- Null Anoms buffed from their Day 1 Equinox release
- this is still not in a good state but am constantly in talk with CCP to try and improve it further
- Worked with CCP to increase the number of sites per sec band for ratting and make it less punishing for the lower sec bands
- Worked with CCP to make continuous balance updates for Power and Workforce provided by a system and consumed by different sovhub upgrades
- Carrier Balance Pass
- though way more work needs to be done
Other stuff that can’t be talked about just yet but hopefully can soon:tm:
My Area of Expertise
- Capital/Supercapital/BLOPs defense umbrella tactics and wealth generation
- Rorqual and subcap multibox mining
- SOV Mechanics
- Running a 30k character alliance and all that goes with it
- Structure and POCO bashing
- They laughed at me. Called me a madman. Look what we got, Metenox and skyhook content.
- Guiding new players through the game
While the above is what I know most about, I have dabbled in almost everything such as industry, exploration, salvaging, market pvping, FCing roams, and whaling.
CSM 19 Goals
I have 3 major goals I’d like to push and accomplish if I’m elected to CSM 19.
- Fix Various Issues with CRABs:
- Fighter Aggro - CRABs will often times insta-frag fighters without any recourse which often means going completely isk negative, or barely making any money at all if it happens to you running something in a 30 billion isk ship. This needs to get fixed ASAP.
- Alternatively, or maybe in addition to this create CRABs specifically for Supers and Titans
- For Super/Titan crabs what if you anchor it, it takes the usual 5 minutes of being hic pointed, but once it’s anchored you remain hic pointed until the CRAB has been completed or killed. Dreads/Carriers/Fax/Rorqs cannot link to the beacon, only supers and titans. Instead of regular rats, it only spawns capital rats that are like suped up versions of the NPC carrier/super carrier spawns that already spawn in drone space. Force you to use ACAP guns/fighters, increase the rats damage and tank bigly so that active tanked dreads won’t be able to run it (carriers are already so turbo bad they wouldn’t be able to do it to begin with) and buff rat/red loot payout. Could introduce mutaplasmids for cap guns and fighters.
- Alternatively, or maybe in addition to this create CRABs specifically for Supers and Titans
- Interference - Change how it is displayed on the map or have it deleted entirely so that groups without umbrellas will be able to run CRABs allowing more targets to be in space for whalers
- Fighter Aggro - CRABs will often times insta-frag fighters without any recourse which often means going completely isk negative, or barely making any money at all if it happens to you running something in a 30 billion isk ship. This needs to get fixed ASAP.
- Nullsec ore anoms need major help - This has been trending in the right direction but still needs major work
- Carrier and Super Balance - Specifically work towards undoing some of the damage Surgical Strike and Patch 18 did to fighters
After that, I also have a literal laundry list of other things I’d like to push/suggest to CCP, with the more major ones being:
- Regular balance updates throughout the year to keep things fresh, even if small and minor changes are made
- Create a way to exempt from being conduit jumped
- Continuing updates to Corp Projects
- Remove the need to right click > compress > confirm. Maybe even get CCP to delete the compression window.
- Continue to push for more casual objectives and changes that lead to fights in space
What can people expect from me on the CSM?
As Horde’s resident Captain for Team Hopium, I know that CCP can continue to make good decisions and while this year has been a wild ride, there is still definitely some good spread out over it. CCP still needs people to also help bring light to the bad that still needs to be fixed. I’ve spent the last 6 or so years coming home from a fulltime job to train FC’s, teach crabs, assist new players and beans, making sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible while fulfilling my leadership responsibilities and I’d like to keep bringing that dedication to the CSM. I also have a reputation for spending the time researching and consulting with experts on topics to improve my knowledge base when discussing a topic that I am unfamiliar with. Since New Eden is full of so much content, I will continue this practice which will help provide the best feedback from/to CCP and players as possible.
