Ariels got my vote.
Ive asked a few others, ill ask you too. With the high plex prices and prices of mods, what would you think about missions getting a raise in rewards considering its been YEARS since theyve had any raise.

Putting the ESI stuff aside where I’m no expert. I can vouch for Ariel Rin being a solid player that can give CCP valuable input on all kinds of gameplay.
Missions are something I’ve used and abused on the regular, and like a proper nerd I’ve written detailed articles on the how and why. I actually sincerely like the fact they are something to do in EVE thats not ISK (LS burners aside)
There are a lot of mission methods that are extremely lucrative, and there are a lot that are hot garbage. But staleness leads to hyper optimization, which while this is precisely what I enjoy, isnt healthy when left alone for 10 years.
There are some easy wins that come to mind such as re-evaluating what missions are available for which factions, and either levelling the playing field or adding in some geographical flavour
The reward for most missions is in line with where I expect risk/reward to fall, its just not always tied to the raw mission_reward_payout. Moving this payout towards ISK and away from LP/Tags/Standings would only serve to add more faucets to the game and devalue missions over time as isk inflates.
@Ariel_Rin Do you support hiring (EVE Vanguard) Warclone Mercenaries as an attack/defense vector in Capsuleer conflicts? Like attacking/defending Planetary Infrastructure, Skyhooks/POCOs and Upwell Structures?
As a CSM would you try and pitch for CCP to make stack multi-split (splitting a stack of items into multiple stacks of same size in one go instead of just on split at a time) happen?
I am a Dust Bunny, I am in full support of Vanguard <> EVE interactions. Where I can add some context is in making sure this isnt a whole bunch of boring space paperwork in an obtuse UI that takes time away from flying spaceships (or treading dirt)
Karkur’s little things are so entwined with the way we play eve today in the most amazing ways. There are thousands of these small QoL life things that id like to encourage these things to return. Limiting it to one pitch only limits our possibilities, its about a culture of improvement.
O7 Ariel Rin,
Last year I asked eight questions and then compiled the answers into a huge mega-thread. It was massive. With the exception of MILINT_ARC_Trooper, no one had a thread bigger than mine, to be fair MILINT_ARC_Troopers’ thread was so weighty and knowledgable it teetered on the edge of collapsing into its’ own core.
That catalogue of replies is now a time-capsule and encapsulated within are the hopes and disappointments that CSM 18 candidates considered worth speaking about during the year of EVE’s 20th anniversary.
The responses gave voters en masse an opportunity to test and compare each hopeful CSM 18 candidates commitment to their claims of being community oriented, knowledgable, responsive and representative of player values. Given that the CSM does not directly control any aspect of EVE’s development and that the successful candidates are those that can identify existing and future consequences, co-operate with other CSM members, and communicate issues -from a player perspective- to CCP staff one-to-one, I’ve formulated a set of questions designed to seperate the compressed ORE from the Long-Limb Roes in this years election race.
Year-on-year the Independent Representatives, Solo players with single accounts, Worm Holers, Triangle People, Semi-nomadic Role-Playing Sandbox Explorers, and Salvagers, have been organising and gaining traction against the self-secure Null-Bloc Empire Candidates and their vast hordes of leather-skinned, evil, flying-monkeys. More-and-more players are choosing to vote in members they believe can positively impact CCP’s approach to the game regardless of their in-game affiliations.
Exposure matters, who are you, what is your clue?
As was the process last year I will post each candidates reply in a super thread, first-in first-served.
This years questions:
What ONE identifiable consequence requires CCP’s attention?
What PROVABLE evidence can you supply to support your belief in this situation?
What practical, and balanced change can be made to support a solution if any?
What support do your observations have from other CSM candidates?
How will you present your findings to CCP?
If you have already identified and spoken about a problem in your CSM candidacy bio at the top of this thread feel free to copy pasta that response where applicable. I’ll copy paste directly from your response to this post. Choose your goblet…. wisely.
Let the games begin, and may the odds ever be in your favour.
The Excel Addin that CCP have put all their promotion and effort into, is dead in the water, as it, as with all Third Party Applications it relies on ESI.
Support Ticket #2270789, Issues logged with the EVE Excel addin, caused by ESI 504 timeouts. EVE Support have denied assistance.
Communicating the issue is by far the absolute minumum of effort that should be required.
Most other CSM candidates aren’t directly in the weeds dealing with ESI daily putting the fires out and keeping people flying spaceships.
As we already have, as data driven clear reports of the direct impact this is having on players
Have you tried communicating with the excel guy on here?
We have had many discussions in the #spreadsheets channel in the EVE Online Discord
They are who confirmed CCP is atleast aware of the issues, but have no further information.
Had a great chat with Schad, what was supposed to be 20 mins ended up as nearly an hour and a half
I was so keen for this add on but it seems that I must subscribe to Microsoft to run it even though I bought a version of excel many years ago, I mean seriously. A complete and utter disappointment. Absolutely hopeless.
Absolutely hopeless.
Man reading your reply made me angry. Thanks for your efforts, good luck!
