Update - 15th October 2024 by CCP Arcade

This post has been locked as the candidate is no longer eligible to run for CSM 19.

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 :eyes: 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.
    • 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
  • 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.

If you could snap your fingers and make your ideal null sec anoms spawn into the game, what would they look like?

I vote for Satan

(Paid Promotion by Pandemic Horde for an undisclosed amount)

Curious, whats your opinion on the new skyhook vuln changes and things like the reduced ansi requirements?

6

You have my vote brother. Keep on being great!

Suggestions from Satan equally take the first day null player and five super multi boxer into account. If you like PVE, killing people doing PVE and defending the people doing PVE, vote for Satan.

To speak about character, this man has managed a mindless horde of crabs for years and still has a motto of being nice and bringing positivity to people. Eve needs more of that.

A mixture of 2016, 2018, and 2024 eve

2016 had a lot more independent and “bluetral” enemies where they worked together but were still neut and you could shoot each other.

2018 was peak fun eve for me, being able to rorq mine and feed caps whenever yoh wanted, carriers and supers were relevent

2024 eve because theres a lot of diverse doctrines, fun ships introduced, the ratting meta is more than just ishtars.

The skyhook changes are a contentious topic currently amongst the players, and I think only time can truly tell what will end up happening.

Making them only vulnerable every 3 days will lead to larger and more rewarding thefts, and the increase in fight potential since you know exactly when a skyhook will be vulnerable to contest it or get a free steal.

The ansi changes, I specifically don’t like that it nerfs local movement within a region. It doesn’t touch projection at all, just fucks over people trying to pvp or pve within their own space while strategic routes will remain intact. I think removing a small amount of ansi’s are fine but a reduction of 40-60% is dumb.

aye carriers really need a buff. atm they…link/suit cases

Putting more and more minerals back to null just makes that area more and more self sufficient.

Doesn’t that hurt other parts of space and their income?

12

Satan for CSM! Putting in the good work for the community!

13

Of all the people I have met in the game none take their role as seriously.
If we need hard work, dedication and a productive train of thought to reach new heights,
Satan is the guy for the job.

I’d let him date my daughter.

Mineral CPI has been going up for years and ships/modules are more expensive than ever. Despite the increasing costs to minerals and increasing mining isk/hr, there has been no increase in the number of people going and obtaining those minerals where they could be found.

Introducing more minerals back into null will ease the pricing… eventually.

I disagree.

What you’re doing in collusion with CCP is trying to force players into Null.

How many times do you need to be told it won’t work?

A more even distribution of minerals will bring prices down, what you’re doing is cornering the market and forcing prices up.

Even if they put say a 10% chance of a rare mineral deposit left behind when an asteroid depletes in Low/High that could be mined it would even the score a little.

If that’s all you stand for you’re not worth a vote, fine it won’t make any difference to the block votes you’ll get, but my conscience will be clear.

But I wonder how many new players will fall for your scam.

Dreads are fine where they are at. We should look at buffing truly underperforming ships such as titans, carriers, and supers. Maybe get wild and crazy and even roll back some of the rep diminishing return effect
