A lot of people have been asking me for gameplay specific ideas that I would also strive to try and push into the game if elected, made a list of changes I think would benefit the game but are also achievable in a year.
Skins and other monetisation ideas
- SKINS, SKINS AND MORE SKINS
We have the designs and patterns of all subfactions in the empires (eg: kalaakiota, thukker, roden shipyards, etc) which can be quickly adopted to work on ALL ships in the game, the lore of skins is to enable ships to pass as different factions, there is no reason why these subfaction skins should be made available to all flyable ships and available on the new eden store
Extending past that, the art team is well known for producing some amazing skins, putting some of them to work on making great, sellable skins would be a key method in CCP being able to raise funds without having to increase subscription prices, if needed why not open skins out to the playerbase to submit to CCP? It can then go through a quality control check and the ones that pass through could get a small portion of the plex that was used for the sale.
- AN ALTERNATIVE TO ALTS
This would potentially need alot of dev time, however this would be a MASSIVEimply put, a new account certificate like MCT that would allow you to FINALLY log on multiple characters as a cheaper alternative to plexing alt acconuts.
- FIRST PURCHASE DISCOUNTS
A tried and true practice in the games industry and insanely simple, one time discount for the first selection each subscription duration, this can be used to bring old players back and to entice and retain more new players, I don’t think this needs any more explanation, more money for CCP, more players for EVE.
Quality of life and balance changes
-
Expansion of search functionality, add shortcut word links like “prop” would bring up all propulsion modules,
-
Improvements to the ingame fitting tool ; allow selectable implants and scripted command bursts (using the players skills) to apply to the simulated fit
-
No cooldown on swapping clones in an NPC station, block it by standings or double the cost, I don’t care how its done, just get it done
-
Allow creation of redeem queue item shortcuts, letting you put the new drugs into your ships cargo hold without taking space up which allows you to take the drugs once needed without extra clicks and having to visit another menu
-
Allow pre-heating of modules while cloaked
-
Have a long discussion about the allowing of swapping ammo/scripts while cloaked, this has large balance ramifications and disproportionately buffs minmatar and caldari ships over others so a long hard discussion on it is needed
-
info/skirmish faction mindlink, it is the only (non shield+armor) combination that is used in game by players, simple item addition, nuff said
Edencom, vorton weapon love
-
The Thunderchild right now is pretty much a joke, giving it more utility highs and a tad more damage to its weapon should be in order to bring this inline with the cost of the ship
-
add target priorities for the vorton weapons so they have a higher chance of hitting useful targets:
Small vortons prioritize drones, then frigates, then everything else
Mediums prioritize destroyers, then frigates (or vice-versa), then everything else
Largest prioritise cruisers, then battleships, then everything else -
Allow implants, drugs and external effects (wormhole effects and e-war) to affect vortons
They are the only turret/launcher system in the game that cannot be interacted with either positively or negatively, at the very VERY least it should be possible to produce the originally event, time limited, vorton drugs -
Make active hull tanking viable
Passive hull tanking has been here for a long time now, with citadels giving free repair services the point of hull reppers has gone out of the window, lets make manly active hull tanking a thing again, make it a low slot, give it a similar cycle time to armor reppers, dont touch the amount it reps, let the madlads loose.
Pochven (these will be unlikely to be done in a year, but lets push for it anyway)
-
Dockable anchorages in home systems, a centralized, high risk point situated right next to both exit/entry gates to the home systems, have a higher standings requirement to dock and allow it to be a production/refining capital for each clade with bonuses similar to (but probably just short of) citadel bonuses
-
CCP is currently redesigning missions, why not add some to Pochven for some high risk carebearing? You could even add specific items to the rewards which don’t (but should) drop in Pochven in order to buy…
-
…the remaining LP store items! the fact that we still have items in the LP store that are literally impossible to obtain constantly cements the idea that this is unfinished space to the locals every day
-
bring back the chaotic roaming AI to gates, Pochven used to be brutal to roam around in, nowadays without drifters and drones on the gates it is almost risk free to fly around the space if you know how to deal with gate camps, As long as the old hyperlocking NPCs does not rear its ugly head again I don’t see why this shouldn’t come back
-
expand or refine the current non-flashpoint anomalies so they can actually provide a decent income, right now only two sites are used for standings and the rest are basically ignored.

Morning all, make sure to vote after downtime today!
If people are interested in who i’ll be voting for and why, here is the list:
1: Drake Iddon - Kinda obvious i would put myself in 1st place
2: Ithica hawk - An extremely knowledgeable and passionate long time player with a vast array of experience, after Suitonia became CCP Kestrel I cannot think of a better person that could carry on and provide the same perspective that Suitonia brought to the CSM
3: Mark Resurrectus - Another experienced and well respected player who specialises in wormholes, Through out the weeks of campaigning Mark has eloquently fought for an underrepresented area of space and I believe he will be an asset to the CSM
4: Phantomite - As I have said before, Phantomite is kind of like marmite; you either love him or you hate him. The main thing I have found in my interactions with him and watching his interactions with other people is he has a very valuable skill of getting under peoples skin in order to force them to explain their reasonings and ideas. Alongside myself I feel he will annoy alot of other CSM members, but at the same time will make the CSM more effective because of it.
5: Stitch Kaneland - Like Ithica, Stich is a well respected passionate player with a deep knowledge of the game, specifically in ship balance. He has already proven himself able to push good changes through to the game, getting him a spot on the CSM will enable him to do this even better than before.
6: Jinx De’Caire - Delving into nullbloc candidates for now, while many feel that nullsec candidates don’t require help and non-ballot votes I think it would be a waste to automatically write them off because of it. Jinx has a long history in the game and his perspective from a smaller null entity combined with the history of brave alliance training up new players will be a very important one that needs to be represented on the CSM.
7: Steve Ronuken If you don’t already know who he is, Steve runs fuzzwork.co.uk which has provided almost everyone in eve with a huge amount of resources from LP and market data and almost any tool you can think of. There has been multiple instances of 3rd party developers being frustrated with changes to how their programs and tools interact and pull data from the eve servers, Steve is absolutely one of the best candidates to make sure this can be as smooth as possible while also empowering 3rd party developers to do what they do best.
8: Alasker - While I would say Alasker is one of the lowest profile candidates on this list, He can be seen as the Chinese communities version of Ithica, a capable player with high piloting ability while also being a rare Asian community candidate, Building a bridge with this large community who would otherwise be generally left out makes him a reasonably strong pick for the CSM.
For 9 and 10 I am going start by qualifying why i chose them, my last two picks are purely pragmatic choices that I feel would benefit the CSM when combined together, Incumbents that have had experience in dealing with CCP already which would give the CSM a head start that can provide otherwise lost practical wisdom and connections.
People may have reservations with these picks and I will admit there are inherent risks in the choices, I do feel that they balance each other out somewhat to mitigate those risks.
9: Arsia Elkin - Has current working knowledge and connections with CCP and has a solid FW background that will synergize well with the upcoming overhaul of it, Arsia strikes me as the person who will be completely frank during CSM meetings when it is necessary.
10: Brisc Rubal - I think alot of people will be surprised at him being on my ticket and I will not deny that he has been subject to drama in the past. But the fact of the matter is Brisc has had long working relationships with CCP which would benefit the CSM as a whole if he is willing to pass that knowledge on, he has also made it clear that he will go out of his way to inform the playerbase if CCP steps out of line which is the exact sort of principled action that I hope all CSM members would have. He is absolutely not a risk free pick and I urge everyone to make up their own mind on him, but weighing the balance of that risk against the upside he can continue to bring to the CSM, coupled with the fact he can be balanced out with other picks on my ballot? I think overall he will be an asset for the CSM and the game
I hope this list has given everyone food for thought, I encourage everyone to vote based on their own research and not on the recommendations of other people, but this CSM more than ever make sure you fill out all 10 slots when voting, every vote counts!
