EVE General Discussion

TLDR - Click HERE at 1800 Sat!

Now that the CSM Summer Meeting Minutes have been published, it's time for our next community Town Hall meeting. This is an opportunity for the community to hear from the CSM directly. With summer over and CCP heading into release planning for the winter expansion, the CSM will be looking to do these Town Hall meetings with more frequency, each one with an overall ‘theme’. This meeting will, of course, focus primarily on the recently released Summit minutes. Obviously there is a lot of ground to cover but we will try to do the best we can.

Once again, in order to ensure there is minimal technical problems and to prevent people from having to install / configure a third party client, we will be holding the Town Hall meeting live on EVE Radio.

BTW, if you are looking for a shorter version of the minutes, feel free to check this out:

Important Information

EVE Radio has set up a dedicated stream for this and all future meetings. All you have to do is go here:

EVE Radio CSM Town Hall

For this first meeting, we will be starting out by answering questions submitted in this and the other thread posted in Jita Park. If you are shy, please eve mail your questions to both Two step and Hans Jagerblitzen.

Please try to keep your questions clear and concise. If you are asking about a specific section or quote from the Summit Minutes, please reference it so both we and the other listeners can follow along and understand.

If we run out of questions we will also be monitoring the in game ‘EVE Radio’ channel and be following Twitter at #csmtownhall.

The official running time of the meeting will be two hours but a few of us may hang out longer than that to sing songs or tell stories about devs getting lost at 0300 in the morning.

Please tune in and enjoy!

UPDATE - CCP Xhagen and CCP Manifest will also be present to represent CCP if anyone has questions for them about the minutes or their interactions with the CSM.

Any plans to give highsec violence a buff, or a nerf to highsec mining?

Request some music here that I can play we get set up etc also when will I get my space pony???

also since it's been 3 years since nullsec received an expansion (and that last one was awful), is it safe to conclude that current and previous CSM councils are either uninterested or unable to push forward nullsec iterations?

From the CSM minutes "(Editor’s note on this particular matter: Inflation numbers have dropped very rapidly in June and we are now in a period of deflation)."
Since CCP Diagoras no longer tweets stats & there's a lack of a current QEN I find myself scratching my head asking:
What is this deflation? Just mineral prices? What are the current bounty/blue loot/Incursion faucets post Escalation/Inferno by my estimates total monthly bounties+mission payouts have increased +20%, WH's blue loot +2%, and Incursion payouts -70% am I close?
Sink wise has the new datcore NPC sell order/ LP sink item signifcantly increased the ISK sink?
Also with the new FW lp Tier system has the lp ISK sink signiicantly changed? Are we still seeing the approximately 6 trillion ISK a month sunk from last February?
Also has the new wardeck system increased the ISK sink or decreased it?

when CCP Soundwave talks about buffing turrets in lowsec to 'make it more inviting' under the belief that making space less securable for use makes it safer for inhabitants, is that the result of a congenital defect or merely improper use of prescription medication?

Yes, EVE Radio records everything (even stuff you say to your corpmates on TS), and will have a recording posted pretty quickly after the summit for people to listen to.

Yep as soon as the show is over i will make the podcast download version and post it up and then post the links in here as its done.

In addition to what Samillian asked, I would also like to add why supercapital production as well as risk has not addressed at all this time around.

Supercapital Production is WAY out of wack for the power of these ships and their proliferation lock out the ability for smaller, non-supercapital ship possessing alliances to cut out a part of space for themselves. Remember, originally these ships were supposed to be rare, like one or two per alliance total. Not one for every member.

Since the proliferation is already beyond the ability of normal game mechanics to seriously cut back both production and current inventory, what is the CSM going to do about eliminating the problem of the "Not a lot" Blindness, as mentioned below:

fake edit:

new question - why does the wormhole guy have a better grasp on 0.0 issues then the nullsec advocate chairman?
