CSM Campaigns

Dear Everybody,

I am koahi and I want everyone to have fun and be cool. I also want EVE to make sense which is a much more difficult goal to accomplish.

EVE could use a lot of changes but I'm going to start with 2. First, I want entosis modules to affect ships the way cyno modules do. If the module is active, you are immobilized and defenseless. If an attacking entity wants to successfully take a node, they'll have to actually hold the grid. Imagine if an attacking fleet actually had to weigh the risk and rewards to choose which nodes they need to focus in order to take a region, instead of "lol, I wasted both our times, this is so much fun."

Second, who pays Concord? Who pays for all their ships and fancy modules? Surely its not all the NPC corporations, they're separate corporations. Surely its not player corps, they don't pay anything to Concord for protection. I think its about time Concord started collecting dues for all of its duties. This actually needs to be broken down into 2 parts.

1. Players/player made corporations will now need to pay a monthly fee to Concord if they wish to remain in the same protection in place right now. The actual amount will need to be determined with some good data-mining to ensure that the number doesn' bankrupt new players, but will still have a meaningful impact to veterans. Corporations will receive a bulk discount. A group of players will pay less than if each player paid individually. If a player in a Concord protection corporation chooses to attack another protected player, Concord will raise the corporations rates up until a maximum percentage.

2. Players will be automatically removed from their starting corporations after a predetermined amount of time after creation (or maybe it should be after amount of months subbed). They'll be marked as Corp-less, or thrown in some corporation named Corp-less. They'll either need to pay Concord protection themselves, join a corporation that has protection enabled, this or be open to attack. Obviously this will be communicated clearly to the player.

What is the point of all that you ask? Well one it would add another level of cooperation and social interaction within player made corporations. It also gives highsec players a choice. Do you wish to remain in Concord protection and have everything remain the same? Well throw some ISK at Concord and you won't have to worry about a thing. Do you want the law to leave you alone? Now they will!

I highly appreciate any feedback and criticism, although not as much. Also as I believe in transparency, I must inform my constituents that I really dislike anything that has to do with butts. Thank you!

Also questions are welcome! I imagine since this is EVE Online forums you would have to keep your questions EVE related.

Well it's not just about ideas. CSM members bring to the table a vision of what they want EVE to become. The process is definitely more a conversation rather than a one sided pitch. For example, I want more game mechanics to have a certain level of interactivity with players as opposed to being just a blanket mechanic, hence my Concord idea. But that idea is just a very small part in the grand direction that I wish to see the game progress. Even if the idea is dismissed, other ideas/opportunities might arise from the discussion, I will continue to try to take EVE in the direction that I feel is best.
