Currently CSM voter turnout among certain voting blocs for the CSM is very low, simply, many people don't use the forums. Is a plan being made to add CSM voting directly into the game somehow to alleviate this?

This is certainly something that we are pushing for. More visibility = more votes. I would like to see a couple 'test runs' of such a thing before the next election cycle as well.

Nothing even on paper beyond, "What?????" There's enough lag to deal with atm. Smile

Plus there are more than enough "defender" advantages in place already tbh. Mines would make gatecamping far too powerful.

Yep. The UI is under constant revision.

This is also being iterated on.


UnInv - They first stated they would work on it weekly until it was done. Then they said it would be worked on as they could. Now it's been 3 months without even a comment as far as I can see. (If i've missed something recently, please let me know) Could you get whomever is working on it to atleast post saying "HI, we know it's still not right, and we're going to keep working on it."

Tooltips - same thing as inventory. they said they'd work on it, putting in a slider for the popup timer, then they went quiet. if we're just stuck with it as is, atleast let us know, so we can put it in the bin of underdeveloped changes.

UI in general: is there any chance they'll just give up the files and let us mod them client-side?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

too bad
lag wise should be used of course as unique object managed like bubbles
and for implementation it could be a good way to revamp 0.0 sovereignity, not using it as a "new weapon" only approach, but something like a new bonus too defender as you say, but costly both isk and time wise

and would be occasion for 2 new ship class, wil not name them, would be an insult to your intelligence :)

I'll give him a poke and let him know that a public update would be appreciated.

Not a chance, nope. Client modded UI is something CCP has been against for a long time.

Say Selene.

Do you have any information on how subscriber number for EVE are trending at the moment? I would be interested to see if the refocus has had a positive effect on subscriber numbers.

That's not usually something we get talked to about until around Summit time and even then CCP doesn't really like to share except for when it hits milestones.

When the CSM started, did CCP actually ask you what you saw as the player/subscribers biggest X concerns about the game and if so what did you tell them

One more request .. probably my last (no promises though Big smile )

This thread has been going on for quite a while and was started at Team Avatars suggestion
Captains quarters ideas fixes and enhancements

It would be great if you could poke Team Avatar and ask them to respond to that thread, maybe get them to indicate if any of the suggestions are possible.

With a nerf to moons coming soon, will there be any buff to nullsec alliance incomes, whether through anomaly buffs for corporate taxes or other alternatives? It doesn't seem like sov is worth having anymore, perhaps something you can relate to, being in PL.

Income lost from tech moons will be balanced against income gains spread out amongst the other moon types.

Have you (seleene) given up on worm-hole stretchers, stabilizers, curling irons, washers and dryers?

Edit to add: And kick the devs in the shins and "ask nicely" if they will ever do Quarterly Econ Reports again?

Bob is the god of Wormholes.

That's all you need to know.

Last Seleene response Sept 09...

Three weeks since my last question.

Has this thread been abandoned like an unwanted child?

(I'll start with an easy one for you.)

Hey Seleene ... why you give up on this thread?
