Council of Stellar Management

Ahoy. The topic of the election system used to choose the CSM has been with it from the beginning. Just to make it clear, the recent discussion was done with my knowledge and approval – for the purpose of discussion. I admit that having the CSM posting...

According to Hans' blog, he won't be running for reelection: http://hansshotfirst.blogspot.com/2013/01/clear-skies.html While I've not been shy of poking at him when I think he needs to look at things differently, I have to say even from my outsider's...

Over the past few CSM elections, it has become increasingly clear that the simple "vote for one candidate" election system should be revisited in the hopes of finding a system that produces a CSM that better represents the electorate (ie: those members of...

So the purpose of this thread is to ask the obvious questions that seem to somehow evade the awareness of the CSM and CCP. I am just going to pose the question, they will able be blatantly obvious and the only explanation required is the one to pettifog...

Fact is 100% of all corps have no way of taxing miners. A glaring and obvious problem since the birth of New Eden. Unless they are killing Null Sec rats with their mining vessel they aren't helping to cover the corporations bills. Making miners a drain on...

ill give alll my votes to the 1 csm runner that goes with corp hangers in poco's and they can even leave pos's alone id be happy

Here you can discuss "The next Decade" section of the CSM minutes. You can find the full minutes here

After living in wh space for several years and hearing countless nullsec people comment on wh space I thought it time for some one from wh space to run to help improve null sec. My platform and suggestions to help improve nullsec. Harder site but worth...

I think some new points came across to me while listening to the CSM town hall podcast so wanted to ask some more questions about them. One was over drones. I do have a big problem over them and wanted to ask about some responses to them. Think one thing...

As we all know, the 2013 CSM elections are coming. The 2012 CSM has shown us what a competent, stable, willing, and non-irish people can do. The CSM has helped give valuable feedback to CCP, some of which they've even taken to heart and made actionable...

What everyone (CSM/CCP) seems to want to know is: What to players want? Perhaps there's an easy way to find out. Take a month or two to design a 'Kickstarter'-like voting system into the game. For each month's subscription (or PLEX used that month) a...

The next issue on Trebor’s list was terrain. That is to say, the notion that some places should be harder to get to and easier to defend, with the tradeoff possibly being less value. Trebor argued that one should not simply be able to “cyno around the...

A long time ago CCP mentioned that they'd like to create new nullsec systems that were only accessible via traveling through wormholes. This was about the time Apocrypha released. Did this idea ever go beyond scribblings on a napkin? Is this something CCP...

As it stands there are at least half a dozen or more Dust 514 players who are stating they will be running for CSM. Some are Eve Online players, some former Eve Online players and others have no experience of Eve Online outside of Dust 514. So, my...

I first started thinking about this while thinking of ways to tax miners. Obviously, we can't have the ore automatically deposited in the corp hanger; I'd just set a wallet division and set the ore tax to 100%. \o/ no more hauling!!! I know, I know, just...
