CSM Campaigns

Agreed, mining itself hasn't seen many changes except for the rebalancing of the industrial hauling & mining ships.
The addition of the venture mining frigate gave a great boost to mining in itself allowing players old & new to dabble in mining adventures where they otherwise probably would not have done.
I'm curious to know exactly how you would propose mining changes without taking into account the addition of new ships or further rebalancing of current mining ships.



You already can do that, when you have the proper scanning skills (planetology & advanced planetology) to scan down the planet.
Improved scanning skills allows you to see where the best place for positioning on the planet is and you can always tear it down and move it to another side if you so should wish... upgradable structures are always a bonus, but on the other hand it is a passive income which in my opinion should require *more* interaction for better yields instead of just making it easier for everyone to have a passive isk sink.
Yes moving the setup costs isk as it should do and of course the time put in to tear it all down and set it up again, but the way it is now is beneficial to all PI producers allowing more than just 1 person to use the planet for PI production.
With what you're saying basically ignores other users of the planets for PI production and gives the general assumption that the planet is your's and your's alone.
The assumption that a planet is your's to do with as you wish is completely wrong under the basis that this game relies on everyone working as a team in all aspects including PI production and would knock the rest of your corporation out of the ability to produce PI themselves should they wish.



POCOs are usually empty or next to empty so siphoning them is not really a viable solution to changing PI into a more positive aspect.



On this point, as an industrial pilot, I would totally have to disagree eventhough the changes have had a strong adverse effect on both myself and my corporation as a whole.
Carriers are *not* intended to be industrial ships or haulers... their purpose is as a combat ship and to allow refitting and reshipping during combat as the dynamic situation of battle demands... as a PvPer you should know this.
Therefor your proposal of turning back the jump drive changes to carriers will again make nullsec static giving the bigger powerblocks again a greater advantage of keeping it to themselves.
That defeats the purpose of trying to break the major powerblocks hold on nullsec and denies smaller alliances once again the ability to venture into nullsec in their own right which we should never do again.
Everyone should be able to experience nullsec should they so wish and the change to jump fatigue not only fits with lore but also allows smaller alliances to get in on the nullsec experience.
What is any game without it's lore?

The 90% jump fatigue reduction for industrial ships greatly offset the negative impact of jump fatigue as a whole for industrial pilots making your statement invalid and totally moot.
You can already fit 6 battleships with fit in a JF to bring them to the frontlines in a major battle should it be necessary to give your carriers on field extra support during major battles.
Those 6 ships in the JF is more than the 2 fully fit battleships you can fit in a carrier.

GO ERIKA!!! I know for sure you are the right person for the job. And I know from first hand you are as helpfull as one can be.

A carrier may not be intended as a industrial ship, but it is used in logistic operations to move ships around. I'm not sure how that is promoting that you should have mining drones in your carrier for mining?

And as far as the time commitment? As I said before, time commitment is not going to be an issue for me, also, I am not involved with SSR, so I'm not sure why that is being pointed out. I'm also not sure how it also equates to saying that I shouldn't be running because I am from Eve Radio, I am not doing Eve Radio stuff 24/7. I have done my homework and again, I am not seeing me as having issues with the commitment. So with that said, I'd like to go over the next bit of topics that were pointed out from Raesha.

So for the mining, I'm assuming you would like me to go in another angle besides the ideas for new ships and re-balancing or what I had mentioned in my initial post. Well there are a couple of things in addition to that. For instance, another idea is that we have something like we have with combat sites. When you finish a combat site you have a chance to get an escalation for better profits. We do have mining belt anomalies as well, I think that if we could get something similar for those it would be interesting as well. It would add more sense of reward as well; say that when a anomaly belt is mined out (or I suppose this could work for normal belts as well?) you have a chance for a mining escalation to pop up where if you go into it, there will be richer ore, and perhaps much harder rats that you would have to deal with. So that's another idea there, and with these ideas, these are to see mining become more interesting and more interactive than what we have now.

There's also another idea that was brought up, which is not my original idea, but one that I support: Comet Mining. Both of those ideas there, I feel would add more for mining.

So now taking a look at the other points mentioned, carriers. I'm not saying they should have timers like a jump freighter, no, they shouldn't have timers like a JF. I was just looking at seeing them more "viable" ... if that's the right word I'm looking for. Carriers are not industrial ships and I know that, nor should they be, but I do think that they did get hit too hard with the jump changes. But aside from that idea of reducing the fatigue on carriers a little bit, I think it's a love/hate relationship being a JF pilot. I like the jump changes, it created some localization in null-sec, but null-sec is still stagnant, and major alliances just reorganized themselves. Though I think that's going on another topic there ...but it does also encourage teamwork as well - the hate part of it is that it's just more annoying to have to wait a bit before you can jump again.

Now the moving around on the planets, I know you have to tear it down and then just reposition currently, however I was looking at making it easier and less tedious. You're right that it is a passive income though, and with your skills you can find the right spots and replace your structures, you are still interacting with the structures, wither you are able to upgrade them or just place more down, but the upgrades would also be more convenient in my opinion.

You aren't owning the planet, you still have the same restrictions, corps can still work as a team, I don't think that adding that is going to change that personally.

Hope that answers your questions there

A single PI production facility per player per planet is already a good system.
There are limits to how much a planet can be mined and stripped of its resources.
The way its set up now doesn't allow for a planet to become over-mined and gives other players a chance to mine what they need for their own reactions.

I'm sure if CCP were to implement the ability to place more production facilities on a planet, they would also implement the ability for that planet to become barren due to over-mining to balance it out.
And going back to lore, how would you propose for that to be implemented in Empire where the planets are our original birthplaces before cloning without making everyone homeless and space being full of nothing but refugee centers?
What happens when all planets become barren?
Of course that is pure speculation but you need to be thinking of how CCP would balance out those changes to again not make them an over-powered isk sink as you are proposing.

Being able to move your PI Production facility about willy-nilly again doesn't take into account your corp/alliance mates and their production facilities on a planet.
What if your corp/alliance mates are already mining on that spot you want to move your facility to?

As a passive income, it shouldn't be made easier with less interaction... then it becomes an isk sink which is never what it was designed or implemented to be... which is a fact you're ignoring and not addressing.
It also causes an over-influx of PI materials to the markets making the price on them bottom out and also with an over-influx you get an inbalance and overflow of PI materials versus other materials needed for building and reactions.

It seems that you are more of turning around what I'm saying and It would appear that you may be losing sight of the topic at hand and are confused about my statement, so please, allow me to clarify:

The thread that was linked has no relevance to my statements, and what he was proposing and what I am saying have yet to meet on common ground. Let's be intelligent about this and try to maintain some level of "focus" to these topics of discussion, and not clutter them with confusion.

So in closing, you'll have to excuse the forthcoming awkward silence, as this is a forum thread for CSMX, and not the forum for "Hi-Jacking of Threads for Personal Entertainment"

So your referencing a blog that I haven't updated since 2013? or a twitter account that I haven't kept actively kept up to date either? I'm sorry but I'm not seeing how this is relevant.

But I'm not here to debate about that to be honest. I have dozens that can vouch for me on that, I don't lie.

That is done.

And in response to this, you saw fit to update your DJ character in-game with your CSM thread yet you have not "updated" your in-game DJ character as such.
As for twitter, you were just on there the other night advertising you were playing STO, and you haven't seen fit to "update" this either?

My apologies for the criticism, but it again lends valid credence to the questions on your time constraints to effectively do the job at hand.
The only reason I'm concerned about this is for your own well-being and because if elected, I want you to do a good job representing not only myself but all other indy pilots as well.
So maybe you should have thought about "updating" that information before campaigning for CSM to avoid such questions.

Posted some thoughts here on regards to fleet broadcast options; which would also help those who can't hear well; like me, or Deaf - but breaking it down. I am talking about those who do need to relay on something simple like fleet broadcasts to get information and the ability to make it more friendly and not have to also rely on relays from coms to fleet chats.

Relays also can delay your reaction time since you have to wait for commands to be typed; so this brings me to my other idea here: Tabbed Fleet History!

Being able to set up tabs with filters set for each; for instance, the example I used in my blog:

1 Tab that shows Navigation Broadcasts, 1 Tab that shows Target Broadcasts, 1 Tab that shows logi Broadcasts.

Something like this would def help the clutter and easier to keep track of when there's a lot of broadcast being thrown out to the fleet.

Thank you so much for the interview! It was a pleasure being able to sit down with you guys.
