You have my vote

Good stuff finally someone that knows what theyre doing! you have my vote!

First i must preface this post by stating that I accept that I screwed up last year by saying that i had been told to give my support to Psychobitch's 2012 campaign.
I would like to correct that error this year by stating that I shall not be mentioning the fact that I have been told to give support to this years election campaign.

PB you have my vote.

Cuz you know when to say please

Thanks for your vote!

The game needs more PvE (missions, exploration, etc) content.... Agreed. A random branching algorithm would certainly help. Additions a erratic behavior, unexpected reinforcements, sudden capital ship appearances, additional outcomes should make missions and exploration site unpredictable and exciting. Sound familiar? I don't think it exclusively needs more content - just that the existing content should be improved - as you said, random elements making it less predictable; moving level 5 missions into hisec making another tier available; epic arc missions need some love as do cosmos missions. Some of the cosmos stuff needs tidying up badly - one mission gives you an introduction to an agent that doesn't exist in the game - I've had this confirmed by a GM btw. There's LOTS of pve available in EVE - some of it directed at solo efforts (missions, mining) and some requires the team effort of a fleet (better mining, incursions). Maybe its just a question of making sure people know and fully understand what's available.

The low risk income potential in high security space (missions, incursions) is too high and should be reduced...

Disagree. Vehemently. The potential for profit should not be curtailed. It is the same for the people complaining about people in low sec making profit. Everything in hisec exists in lowsec/nullsec in bigger and better ways. You can't punish people for making isk in hisec.

The real issue here is the isk being made by incursion farmers. For the first time there's an income stream in hisec that approaches the reward levels of those of nullsec. It's not ‘zero risk', as I keep hearing, but I will agree that if you know what you're doing and you're flying with a competent fleet, the risk factor becomes a lot lower. There are still ways to disrupt incursion fleets though and we do sometimes see Concord in sites. As far as the farming goes - why not? It's acceptable to spend all week farming Worlds Collide and Angel Extravaganza - why not sansha spawns? I do think that the various sites could be better balanced however. At the moment almost everyone is running Vanguards because they give the highest isk per hour ratio. It would make more sense if Assault sites were buffed so that they could hit the same ratio if done properly; thus making site choice purely a matter for fleet size. HQ sites are kinda pointless just now because no-one does them. I'd also like to see the Kundalini Manifest only spawning after a set time period - say 3 days - and only remaining for a limited time - if a fleet isn't formed to kill it within, say, 6 hours, then none of the LP pool gets paid out - thus encouraging all the little separate fleets to join up and get the job done but also DIScouraging disgruntled pvpers like Kissada from spoiling sport for the incursion runners.

Factional Warfare should include the various pirate factions (Guristas, Serpentis, etc)... Agreed. Sounds like a great way to diversify the factional warfare landscape.

Mining in its current form is boring and should be changed to be more challenging... Agreed. You could have mining events, like mining accidents, where a roid explodes or shatters, or if there is higher grade ore concealed inside. Mining comets, etc.

I like your standing on walking in stations. I was pissed when they didn't follow through.
