Hexator (Crabsalot) Gaming for CSM


I hope you enjoy these doggos as much as I do. I can share more if you vote for me.
Now, the question is, why should you vote for me? Maybe because of the dog picture. I really don’t have any other arguments.

Now the part where I talk about myself. (You can skip it if you want. I’ll mark the next part.)

If you didn’t skip, I actually have to write something now. Or do you want to skip now? Okay, you got me, I’ll start now.

I started EVE as a small guy. I was mining Veldspar with a friend of mine, and we watched YouTube together. One day, we saw a video of someone making MILLIONS doing level 2 missions. And we wanted to do the same. We died. My friend became inactive afterwards, and I went back to Veldspar mining. I found a new friend, and together we grinded for a Covetor. One day, he left me, and I was alone in space again. So, I looked for new friends and found a corporation. They took me in, but I had to fill out 10 pages of paperwork. It was a German corporation.

I was happy again, surrounded by a lot of people who mined with me. But there was one problem—I had to leave the cozy Highsec and go to the scary Nullsec. I DID IT! And I was happy afterward. There were a lot of funny people. I spent some time there, grinding my skill points and building up my wallet. But I always had the desire for more. I wanted to do PvP, and I did. I grabbed my Caracal, roamed around, and died. I was saving money for a Raven to fight the baddies with it. I died again. This continued until, one day, someone approached me and invited me into an “elite small gang” group (his words, not mine).

With some help from friends, I started to get better. They told me unbelievable things like “faction missiles hit better than Fury missiles.” Ridiculous, I know. Anyway, we blasted together. One day, they left me. Took the famous EVE break. Won the game. I was alone again.

After flying solo for a bit, I found a new group. The vibe was perfect. And I mean perfectly. We drank a lot of funny liquids, sang songs until 3 a.m., and somehow managed to dominate on-grid. But everything comes to an end. More and more people went inactive until, finally, the day came when I took my well-deserved break after four years of playing EVE. Some old friends tried to pull me back, but I just needed my break.

After two years, I had the desire to return. But where should I go? None of my old friends were playing anymore. So, I looked for new people, new groups, and a new corporation. Anything was better than playing alone again. I found a group, and we clicked. I made new friends. We had fun together until we didn’t. So, I created my own corporation: The Loot & Scoot Salvage Co. I scooped up some new people I had just met, but old friends also came back and joined, even some from my early days in EVE.

Opening this corporation was the best thing I’ve done so far in EVE. But the start was scary. Now, we’re a bunch of funny people, joking around and doing what we like.

As for the CSM thing, I saw it and thought, why not? I can’t lose, and maybe I can make some things better than before. My focus is around wormholes. Last year, my corp and I decided to leave Thera and stop doing PvP in Nullsec. We temporarily deployed in a wormhole and waited for the summer patches. It sounded so promising. We were hyped for Nullsec, even planning to take a bit of sov. But month after month, we became more and more disappointed. Every new patch note after the initial summer patch crushed our dream little by little.

I hated that, and I’ll try to make it better if I get voted onto the CSM. I think I have some good ideas too. We’ll see.

I will mainly focus on PvP and PvE content, especially wormholes and more single-account PvE content. Newbro content is also important to me. The game needs new players, and we have to work on that. But I won’t promise anything—that would be wrong.

Love the content you put out on YT, but what are somethings you want to focus on in the PvE section on WH space, or rather more specifically C5/C6 wormholes? Do you think that there can be supplemental content for the drifter income loss for sub-caps? Do you think that you can get the Drifter back to run with only sub-caps?

I think C5/C6 ratting is in a decent spot. I do it myself, and it’s still good money. However, the data sites are poor for hacking. They should get a little rebalancing. Also my corp mates had a brilliant idea: in lower-class wormholes, it would be awesome to have better hackable sites that are less contested by rats than the current ones, with a focus more on hacking. Something like sleeper caches but more frequent. Also, finding a way to make C1 more popular would be great.
About the drifter I don’t think I, you or any csm member has the power to revert it. It is a change ccp made and we have to live with it.

I disagree on the drifter part and on the whole of c5/c6 ratting being in a decent spot. The amount of isk capital you have to put in is ridiculous for chump change. I would say that bringing supplemental content in to makeup for the income less would be ideal such as roid belts in all whs and certain classes getting wormhole specific ore just like Pochven does.

The most popular aspect of C1 holes though is PI. It sucks but it is what it is. If anything C4s are pretty dead. Its in the same category of C5 space with it not being worth the isk and risk.

CSMs do have the power to revert it as we saw earlier this year with the Equinox changes made for null-sec after a reddit post went out about how much it sucked. Also things to keep in mind is that after CCP nerfed incursions, they changed it, they nerfed Pochven income, then changed it. I do not like the current thought of “CCP did it and we have to live with it.” It has been shown they can revert changes and make the game better… if you have influence with CCP that is…

Hi man,

I saw a good youtube video.
" How to make 5 bill ISK per\hour in 2023 EVE Online"

Maybe you can try this. It seems a lot of money.

I agree with the C4. C4 must get better. Maybe reduce the spawnrate of C5 and C6 WH sites and increase the spawnrate in C4 wormholes.
