CSM Campaigns

Hello there wormholers of eve online!

I am Bane Cortex, a long time wormholer and player of eve. I am looking to becoming part of CSM X. The main focus of my campaign is to solely aid CCP in the further development of Wormhole content and mechanics.

There are a few things I would like to focus on if I were to become part of CSM X would be as follows:

- Anomaly mechanics

In relation to anomaly mechanics there are a few things I would like to look over. There is a definable issues for corps living in WHs mostly C5s with the randomness of the spawning of lowsec entrances to holes. This make corps living in these worm holes have to go through great wait times to be able to get to any content. Along with that being said there is also a large latency with spawn times on combat sites as well. I bring these points to the tables solely to aid in the creation of more content for players. Home content should be AS important as static content.

- Balance wormhole effect

I would like to point out Black holes and cataclysmic variables at this point. These along with some effect make certain wormholes undesirable. This is forcing corps that want to so content into wormholes where they may require more ships or skills in order to create content. The effects on wormholes should be more even across the board to make it so there are no wormholes left out, creating more content for players.

- Make wormholes more accessible for new players

This strongly follows suit with the last two points I made. There is a strong need for content to be explored more and possible have more mechanics made so there is more interest in wormholes for new players. Wormholes are a great part of eve online and every new player should be able to explore then.


- Refine corporate interface ( ie: Bookmark issues)

I know there is a corp management page updating coming but there has always been a large issue with having multiple corps in the same hole. It is understandable that ccp may only want one corp to a hole but there is being looked
over and there should be accommodations made so multiple corps can coexist in a single wormhole under the same alliance.

- Lower class wormhole content

There has always been an issue with the skill gaps between wormhole class levels. With that being said I would like to look into ways to ease the transfer of players through the levels of WHs so they can get a chance to see the entire content this game offers. As is stand c1-3 wormholes are excellent for starting up wormholes corporations. They provide decent content but do not allow the number of sites and isk require to fuel POSes in these hole so new corporations can get a foothold on low class wormhole space. I would like to see c1,c2 and c3 WHs be viable content for players.


- More wormhole systems
I know over the years there have been additions of more WHs but i would like to see a steady increase in the number of wormholes as the player base for WH rises. As it stands it can be a very tasking and difficult process for a corpotation to fine an empty wormholes to live in.

- Fix ore sites

The creation of more ore sites for wormholes would be a great addition for eve online and would allow there to be a larger player base for doing wormhole mining. I do believe that mining minerals in a wormhole should be more viable than it currently is.




The list goes on for potential ideas. Personally I feel wormholes and wormholers make up a critical part of eve online. They do require more attention and I would like to do this for us all.

Feel free to reply with question I will gladly reply.

ok, a few questions:

"my campaign is to solely aid CCP in the further development of Wormhole content and mechanics"

Do other eve players not matter?

Your platform

- Anomaly mechanics
What is this?
- Balance wormhole effect
Check the Hyperion change log please, what needs balancing after that?
- Make wormholes more accessible for new players
Isnt this what low class holes are for? CCP has made scanning, etc far easier already too, or do you want to put gates in for them to come in?
- Refine wormhole mechanics
How so? what mechanics, again too vague for me to have feelings for
- Consistence of context for WH players
Isnt rolling our solution? we do it pretty good, no content, make a new chain? please specify..
- Refine corporate interface ( ie: Bookmark issues)
Would be nicer if it was more user friendly, not sure what you would want changed exactly though
- Lower class wormhole content
Remove it or add more? and how? and why?
- Make C1s viable content
They seem to be inhabited... so it must be viable... not sure what you are getting at... p.s. blue loot for their sites went up in value
- More wormhole systems
Specific, finally, and completely against this, already added shattered holes, and enough empty systems around already
- Fix ore sites
Again how? if this is the make them need scanning down bandwagon of early 2014 (iirc?), please given reasons... i still see as many miners in w-space as i did before the changes (1 or 2 rarely per fortnight)

tl;dr, care to be more specific, seemed like throwing anything there for the sake of it with no clarification, and some points calling for change but not specifying how.. cant decided if its positive or negative without knowing what you want..

regards and good luck with the campaign o7

I don't mean to be probing, but something seems a little off. Some more indepth explanation would be good... but I have some concerns.

Zero Posts on the forum.

What seems like 0 wormhole experience.

Just left Sniggwaffle (been in and out of them).

Just started a alt corp for yourself claiming "wormholes". Your corps been around for 3 days, your the CEO, with 1 other guy in it.

Something doesn't pass the smell test.

I'll edit or remove this if more information from the candidate arises (everybody deserves a fair shot).

I will be adding to the post later today a expanded version of each point I posted originally, Also I am not picking wormholes because they are easy. I picked wormholes because I have almost solely been living in wormholes since their inception. I feel this is my strong suit in eve and I think there is room for improvement in this aspect of the game.

That's cool, but I still can't put some of your history together. One of the first things people look at is the kill board. This month, catch, last month, nullsec, more nullsec, and more nullsec. The most I've seen out of the kill board regarding wormholes, outside of what seems like a 6th month long layoff (happens to everybody) is a vargur and a Mack in w space. That and your loss of a guardian to a bomber ( I would love to hear the backstory on that one).

You seem to be primarily nullsec. Now to be a wormhole candidate doesn't mean you can never leave wormhole space, but it seems like you haven't sacrificed to BoB enough to really be put on the pedestal of a wormholer. If I am wrong here, please let me know, I have no issues with correcting my above assertions. Now if you are a guardian pilot I can get why the kill board looks like that (fly logi myself). But let's get past the conspiracy theory for a moment. Is there any wormholer you know, in your corp or alliance, who can speak to your character, play style, personality? While I may seem a bit skeptical, we really don't know who you are at all. What makes you want to be a wormhole CSM candidate?

What are your opinions on the previous and current wormhole csm's? That being Corbexx, Asayamami Dei, Two Step, James Arget, Chitsa Jason. Have you spoken with any of them regarding their experiences, future or past changes, etc?

Original post has been updates with additional information and refining of topics.

Thank you o7

I find them every day and there is the wormhole sales on the forum.. and the big addition wasnt over the years.. it just happened with phoebe.. -.-



I know a lot of people who mine and live in w-space, their mining alts live in high sec because of the safety. creating more ore sites wont change that.

Sorry but you seem way out of touch with the playerbase you claim to represent, guessing you have had a long afk from eve.. and wormholes..

Can you please tell us what type of wormhole you been living in and what you been doing in the wormholes . Tell us some more about you please.

Well this is one of the main points of my campaign :) I do agree wormholes can be very scary
