My 15 years in EvE (created 2009.12.15) started in high sec space with a trusty Drake running level 4 missions which was loaned to me by a nice friend who wanted me to succeed. I moved on to nullsec with Wildly Innappropriate and did a bit of nullsec combat. After a few months, I moved to exploration learning wormholes before eventually joining a corporation and running archons for C5 wormholes. After living in wormhole space, I moved back into high security space where I hosted incursions as a logistics pilot flying a trusty basilisk and then bought my personal bowhead to bring my guardian/basilisk/scimitar. I personally quit EvE once when the Force Auxiliaries were announced and returned shortly after Pochven was created. I am currently operating out of Pochven and like to run meme fits for PvP such as the battle venture and battle nereus. In a serious fight, I will be flying support ships such as logistics or ECM boats (although the nerf to them was pretty hard).
I don’t know everything about EvE or how to best improve the game we all love but I just want EvE to improve the accessibility to get more capsuleers into this massive sandbox. I am looking forward to serving all of you and helping improve EvE Online.
@OP 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?
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.
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? - I support this since the loss of Dust 514 interacting with the game.
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 support any quality of life improvements for EvE as playing this game is already hard enough.
As a solo player, I find myself having a lot of issue with the fact that finding content is difficult. Years ago, you could warp one system away and find people mining, ratting and doing other activities, and the game seems deader than ever. I want to change things and give a reason to put certain assets like capital ships on the field and at risk.
