Your areas of expertise. In which areas of the game do you feel you are the most knowledgeable?
I know things in a variety of different facets of EVE, and no one truly is a master of any of them even having played the game for the last 20 years. I have most of my experience in logistical ships in large scale pvp, teaching new players general eve skills as well as NS skills that can be applied to any part of the game, small gang with friends, and SKINR. Being able to teach and provide information for new players is my main focus and light of my time in EVE. I would say I am also knowledgeable in history of the game from the corp/player perspective and would love to see more history made.
**
What qualities set you apart from other candidates?**
I can still laugh and have the light of joy in my eyes? Being funny/sarcastic aside, I am new blood into many facets of eve. Tournaments, teaching, and more are part of my day-to-day basis. I teach new players on a daily basis in Gooniversity, and knowing how to think like a new player can help improve the new player experience, help retain new players, and help bring more life into the game of our lives we call EVE. Without new players, players winning EVE all the time, and the amount of cyno vigils we have held in the last few years, it’s super important not to chase off any new players and help encourage them to grow and become a part of this game we all love.
Why are you applying for the CSM?
I would love to see new players represented, while also listening to older players or bitter vets. I hear people talk of stories from the last 20 years as I document history, and the game does not seem to be creating as much history in current times due to risk adverse groups, and cost of everything in the game increasing. I want to make it easier for newer players to be able to make and write their own history, on their terms. EVE is a sandbox, let’s add some more sand.
What can players expect from you?
Expect that listening to reasonable requests should be something a CSM does. Communication and making sure that the community’s interests are represented fairly is important to me. The game needs new life breathed into it by being inclusive to new players, and older players have the experience. Expect me to try to be there to help be that bridge between the gaps. I also want to champion more tournaments for EVE online to encourage newer players to try small/nano gang play.
My goals would be to help shore up some of the parts in EVE that have been neglected for a long time: carriers needing some love: panthers needing to be more like the rest of the blops and balancing that to make it a more utilized ship,: proving grounds as a great way to encourage newer players to use it to learn PVP in addition to current game mechanics; bringing some love to the micro and small gang, while encouraging the blocks to continue to have large fights; making caps more used in fights from LS to NS and less hanger queens. Ships are meant to be used and destroyed, and fostering the mentality of ships are ammo and helping make more ships cheaper is something we should all be holding on to. Outside of ships, functions like SKINR are close to my heart, and improvements to skinr and drone windows are something i would fight for. Including how many drones are assigned to a person seen by the person and the fleet leader, more skinr patterns and an additional skinr pattern slot or two, including adding in the addition of corp/alliance logos available as patterns.
The last thing I would champion is updating the scanner tutorial to actually include more than reading. As a newbie, this is one of the most complicated tutorial parts I’ve heard complained about, whereas the rest of the tutorial options are straight forward and make sense enough to get a player undocked.
My EVE Online story.
I started in July 2024, as a HS ratter, who had a love for PVP. Joined a streamer scam corp, where none of the funds went back into the corp and into the CEO streamer’s wallet. I was not ok with that and wanted to know more about the game I was falling in love with. Ended up having many people help me, as I started streaming in HS, and teaching me how to play on a more advanced level. I ended up joining them in NS, before starting to teach new players myself on the ways of EVE and the complexities that are things such as tackling! (Tackling is a skill, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!) I applied to help with my first tournament in the beginning of 2025, ended up hosting half of the Charity Cup 2025 and became hungry to learn more about tournaments, culminating in helping out with ATXXI and trying to improve my knowledge and commentating for the first time. I’ve produced over 800 unique SKINR skins for NS/WH/HS players. Currently, I teach new players how to be effective pilots, and work on improving my own skills.
