YP2 has has been very engaged with his community and with CCP on his focus areas. As iāve stepped away from EVE for a bit, iām happy to see heās been able to carry the torch for FW, balance and overall ecosystem health and is doing a good job managing that burden, while staying respectful to his fellow CSM.
He is a good resource and communicator to utilize to help the players get their message to CCP and is a good choice for another round of CSM work.

YP2 sets standards for CSM activity. I know for a fact he has reached out to numerous people for feedback on various ideas/questions he has had. I know he will continue to put in the hard work if he gets elected again.
+1 from me

When it comes to candidates whose experience lends valuable insight into perspectives ranging from small-scale, faction warfare, alliance/corporation leadership, and nullsec PvP, Youngpuke2 is the first that comes to mind. As someone whose flown both alongside & against Youngpuke2, he has my utmost respect as well as confidence that he would be an excellent contributor in helping drive this game forward to becoming all the more engaging for those new players finally taking that first step in EVE. What I value most in leadership is one who leads from the front, takes part in the community, and remains accessible & open to those around them, Youngpuke2 is an excellent example of that.

In my opinion, Carriers are in a lackluster spot and need a stronger battlefield identity. Iād like to see their Command Burst strength and duration bonus increased to 5% per level, pushing them into a more meaningful fleet support/utility role.
I see Carriers working best as true utility boats platforms that bring EWAR projection, subcap influence, and command boosts that actually shift the outcome of a fight. This means carriers allow for the beginning of an escalation chain to dreadbrawls. This is also where I think T2 and Navy Carriers could shine: Navy hulls could emphasize having more tank and racialized bonuses, while T2 Carriers could specialize in even more advanced EWAR, that can jam capitals, logistics, or even enhanced fighter bonuses. That split would let pilots choose between frontline staying power and specialized utility, giving Carriers a real identity instead of being watered-down versions of whatever they are now.
One of the mostāif not the mostāactive CSM members out there. yp2 for CSM

YoungPuke2 is an excellent CSM. He legitimately cares about the game and serves as an enthusiastic voice for many people who often go unrepresented in the game. Iāve known him for a long time and heās always been kind and happy to listen to anyone.
I wholeheartedly endorse him for CSM.
