I fly a Rattlesnake.

Your move.

If you can fly a rattlesnake, you can fly a Dominix. If the performance of your shiny doesn't match your desires, that's too damn bad... but don't be too butthurt about it, since the pirate rebalance is next on the list. Buffs are likely incoming.

After building up my first character, I started making industry characters to help corp and alliances I had been in. Making some isk in the process as well and I imagine would have made even more if I had been in a null group at the same time with JF to come in and out.

I do think the industry needs to be tweaked a little. I haven't done any mining or industry since they changed the mining barges so I maybe a little outdated

Get rid of T2 BPO's or make T2 BPO's available for everyone. I really do not understand why this has not been done and why a lot of other aren't off the rails about them being around. I like the invention of T2 BPO's and the odds or success or fail on them. But some people / groups having T2 BPO's sitting around and others not able to get them is wrong for a sandbox game where competition in the markets is everything. So fix the mistakes made so long ago and give people equal footing. If you force them out then you have to give them something to make up for the time invested and such, but that is on CCP to figure out (or smarter people than myself ) what compensation should be.


Data cores - I would like to see these go back to being free, but if you don't do the daily mission, you hit a snag and don't gain any of the points for a new Data core. I would make these missions a little harder, a little longer, and spawn in a random way (as in, you get them sometime in the next week, not one a day so you don't have to mission for them every day, but every day you wait after you get assigned a mission the less points you get towards data cores )

PI - While I didn't agree with CCP having high sec POCO's be taken by player corporations (as really it only hurts new players who where looking to try PI before moving it to low or null, guess there is still SISI for testing stuff ) I still like PI a little. I do wish there was more powergrid and CPU for the stuff, and I liked the older system when it fist came out to what we have now, but PI you can make money, and doesn't take too long to train so new people can get into it and make money by themselves or with others. If you cannot do anything with one toon, make another on the same account train the (I think a month or so ) on that toon for perfect skills and grab yourself more planets making higher tier stuff.

I would like to see a tutorial for new players on PI, perhaps even giving on of the Skill books for it. (or just link someones YouTube tutorial about it in the industry agents missions )


So, for the TL:DR, Get rid / make available T2 BPO's for everyone, Data core change again, perhaps other/advanced skills for more PG/CPU on PI and a tutorial for PI for new pilots.

I have found that I actually usually like industry more than I like shooting others. Both are fun though and what makes this game worth it to me. If you are smart, you won't be scammed ( in fact, just don't look at local or contracts and you will be fine most of the time ) And have made plenty of isk selling my items, even when giving some to other corp mates and corp for war stocks.

You are a CSM member and this is your response "Your problem seems to be mainly that you're not very good at the things you're trying?"

Is it possible at all that you could enter into a somewhat rational discussion of game mechanics and the direction that CCP and/or others have pushed this game?

I recently returned and I'm beginning to see that the game is now worse than when I left. If I want a drama-queen game then I can play "Hello Kitty."

CCP == WAKE UP. Your game subscriptions are stagnant and you have pushed the game into the hands of a few people and ignored game mechanics for the sake of holding on to these "Big Fish."

PS I've scanned a few of the forums and find that the responses to legitimate questions, as indicative of how people feel they can act, are less than juvenile, sophomoric or rude. Intelligence wise "bestial" comes to mind. This is not a problem of moderation but of the kind of mindset that CCP is encouraging in its players.

Yes, I agree, please devolve oh disgruntled player. Perhaps back to the trees with thee would be less stressful an environment as clearly your attempt to evolve from, was, indeed, a mistake.

i have 1 high sec PI char , 2 low sec and 1 null sec. i make a ton of isk from PI and the recent high sec changes have lowered my taxes.
Manufacturing makes the majority of my isk with a 10 mill SP char.
i do a ton of invention (although that is a minority of my manufacturing income)
trade is fine but i don't have the patience for more than dabbling.
i spend a bit of time doing exploration /wh diving and sometimes missioning and have a FW alt about to try that.
all my income goes to PVP because i enjoy that even though i am bad at it.
still at least i don't suck at the trivially easy bits of eve like you OP.
i am less than a year old have i would guess a ton more assets and isk than you for far less effort.
work smarter not harder.

Have to agree. Just as an FYI to the CSM member mentioned, the player behind Psyue Mi has been in game design and was computer gaming long before there even was an internet - so have I. We've got enough crap in our hangers to sell off to plex these accounts for years - but to what end? We've made a few suggestions over the years (mostly ignored) and have pretty much come to the conclusion that CCP is just clueless, and the CSM is a joke.

In the end CCP - the game actually has to remain FUN to bring in and retain players.

That's right, buttercup. I'm not Mr Rogers, the OP isn't special to me and I don't think he's fine just the way he is.

Tens of thousands of players manage just fine making their income from invention, manufacturing and so forth. The OP is the whiny fat kid complaining that athletics aren't fair because he doesn't get to win.

What he needs to do is, metaphorically speaking, cut out the snickers and skittles and run his fat ass around the block a few times instead of bawwing for special treatment.

(Luckily what he actually needs to do is considerably less energetic and he can actually keep right on troughing the skittles. All he needs to actually do is play a competitive game just like those tens of other thousands of players did.)

let me guess, someone gave you some spreadsheets that were terrifically profitable at the time, they stopped being profitable, and now instead of actually learning where you can make a profit you decide to whine instead

If you can't see where the money is, you don't deserve it.
