Hello Everyone, my name is Frippyy and I am running once again for CSM.
I’m the CEO of the Nullsec corp R3B3LLIUM in Get off my Lawn.
Like many of you reading this, EVE is a significant part of my life and I want to give back to this wonderful community by representing YOU as a member of CSM20. I am eager to maintain the quality of EVE and its community by listening to and spreading the voices of the players so that YOU can have your voice heard!
My campaign this year is for the improvement of SOV-Nullsec, Industry in all areas of EVE, Highsec mission running and some overall quality of life changes to help every EVE player regardless of position, allegiance or location.
**My EVE Online Story
**
I have been playing EVE Daily since March 2024, Now you may be thinking that 18 months of play time and experience is insufficient to run for CSM however in these glorious past 18 I have been entranced by EVE, the community of this game is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and the relationship of corpmates and alliances are akin to family.
76 days into playing EVE I joined Karma Fleet in Delve and during my time there I learned a great many things from the wonderful and knowledgeable members of KF.
One of which is how EVE is as much about the social interactions and diplomacy as it is making or blowing ships up. With this in mind, and some minor encouragement, I ran for CSM19 (Links to the post and podcasts at the bottom of this post).
During this time I started streaming EVE over on my Twitch doing PVP roams, faction warfare and Level 4 mission running in Highsec. Which really expanded my knowledge of the game from just SOV-Nullsec.
In February I Left Karma Fleet and Created my own corporation R3B3LLIUM alongside some of my faction warfare buddies. A month of growing and forming ourselves later I moved my corp into the wonderful alliance, Get off my Lawn, where we remain today.
Since being in LAWN not only has R3B3LLIUM grown into a prospering industrial corporation with a love for PVP, I have become a Fleet commander and Diplomat for LAWN.
As an FC for LAWN I have Ran Dozens of strategic operations ranging from defending friendly structures / SOV hubs to destroying hostile fleets and structures alike.
**My Areas of Expertise, Knowledge and Unique Qualities
**
My main areas of expertise are:
-
PVP - This involves the organisation of small and large fleets, solo PVP and ship fitting for all types of PVP purposes.
-
Leadership and Management skills - As both a Nullsec CEO and Alliance FC / Diplomat I have developed and improved on my ability to clearly communicate with other team members and bring forth points and argue my case, for example within monthly CEO meetings i advocate for improvements at the alliance level.
Being a CEO has taught me the valuable skill of negotiation which I believe is a paramount skill for a CSM as well as being able to create and manage large scale projects. -
Idea Projection - In my time as an eve twitch streamer I have spoken to thousands of players new and old, I have also built a community of just under 600 people who frequently discuss the game and ask questions. During these conversations as well as within my corporation/alliance comms, I have listened to many player’s ideas for what they would like to see implemented or changed.
Being a streamer allows me to vocalise the ideas of every player and broadcast your voice to the rest of the community. Its one thing to Listen, but to vocalise the voices of the many is an invaluable tool.
**So What Can You Expect From Me As A CSM20 Member?
**
If elected as a CSM20 I would do all I could to progress and improve the experience of all players new and old by spreading the voices of all I speak to and making sure that progress can continue in Nullsec’s development as an almost living body. In EVE, community means everything which is why I would put the community first and do everything I my power to help and support all.
Whether you are an Indy fanatic or PVPer I have your back regardless of playstyle because we are all EVE players.**
The Campaign:**
The areas I will focus on during the course of my CSM20 campaign involves both my own ideas and those of corp/alliance members, twitch viewers and the wider community. this includes but is not limited to:
- In order To Improve the current state of Ratting and Mission running I propose increasing the bounties in combat anomalies by 10% (excluding CRAB Beacons) to fit with the games current economy as well as scaling the ISK and LP gained from completing agent missions in all areas of space to the players standing with said agents faction at a rate of 5% per standing Level (e.g. a player with a standing of 4.0 will get 5% more ISK and LP per mission completion than a player with a 3.0 standing) and finally change the interference map mechanic to only activate after an entire CRAB beacon has been used.
- Revamping certain areas of industry by reducing the Planetary Industry components by 10% for all Navy issue and T2 subcapitals making ship production like what it used to be, as well as reducing the amount of exploration loot required in building the regular/enhanced Neurolink protection cells by 5% helping bring down the cost and effort of capital ship manufacturing. To help industrialists outside of wormholes, the introduction of rare spawn scannable wormhole gas anomalies in Nullsec systems. Add a “compress all ore” button to allow for a smoother mining experience.
- To keep Nullsec PVP fresh I think skyhook raiding mechanics should be reversed to how they initially were as this is a great content generator and gives small and large groups more targets/content creation opportunities. It also brings back a secondary objective in each SOV-Nullsec system other than the ESS. Buff mobile observatories by increasing the chance of decloak to 60% from 40% and disallow decloaked ships to recloak for 5 mins or a session change (e.g. change systems or dock up)
- Carriers can assign fighters again and also use heavy fighters, increase bandwidth to use more fighters & having fighters pre nerf (e.g. chase enemies if they warp off). This would also incentivise carrier ratting.
- To help counter the recent marauder nerfs, introduce a T2 bastion module that adds bonuses to neuts/scrams/webs/ecms.
- some Highsec tweaks such as keeping Highsec agent’s level 5 missions in Highsec and introducing R8 moons into certain Highsec systems (0.7 and below).
Finally jump freighters are brilliant however for large scale move ops there is room for improvement such as more cargo capacity either by increasing the base cargo hold size or an extra low slot for a cargo hold expander. Another way to improve jump freighters and other jump capable ships would be to create a set of implants that reduces jump fatigue and a set that reduces fuel consumption when jumping available from the ORE and CONCORD LP stores.
As previously stated the above ideas are my own as well as from fellow corp and alliance members as well as my twitch community.
Saying this I talk to many people about their views on the current state of the game and I want to hear from you too!
Feel free to post questions or thoughts on this post, I also accept in game messages, respond to Evemails and Discord DMs, so please feel free to reach out and give me your two pence on EVE as I’d love to hear what you think.
