Well considering i am a low sec dweller and want no part of the land of carebears other than i don't want them getting anymore love than they have gotten the last few years, up to and including the latest stunt, warp drives getting disabled the moment you try to suicide gank someone, that part is just so game breaking for me, and besides high sec has always been more about docking games war , not an actual war dec, so if you can see to it that once you engage something, up that docking timer even more.

I would have thought you would have atleast looked up my name and from that you could have seen i was negative ten, but when it comes to votes, well me and my fellow low sec dwellers do count for a substantial amount, so if you truely believe you have something to offer us, please do let us know.

Believe me, having any bit of cleverness nerfed out from under us is a very large concern for me.

Seeing your friends and peers adapt to the situation here in highsec and seeing them have anything clever they come up with nerfed into the ground can be extremely discouraging, and watching your entire playstyle get pushed aside in favour of a bug like dec scraping when anything that inconveniences those unwilling to adapt to their situation catered to can be absolutly heart-wrenching.

So, yes, when you see a nerf like getting insta-scrammed upon suicide gank looks painful to you, our lowsec cousins, know that it feels worse. It feels like CCP doesn't even want you in this game at all. I've lost many of my most talented friends and peers that way.

As for what I can do for lowsec, I'm not entirely sure. Lowsec is the only bit of space that I haven't lived in at one point or another. It's my understanding that it's in a fairly decent place these days, especially compared to how it was before the FW revamp. What would you like attention called to?

Thing that is most annoying is the FW cunts in low sec, they sit there in their small t1 frigs with a cloak on and 3 stabs in order to farm the sites for LP , what i'd like see done is , nerf the ability to sit cloaked inside a FW, make it so they just can't sit in their an amarr site being an amarr de plexing the system with just a t1 frig with a cloak and 3 stabs on if someone from the opposing faction or like me a pirate enters the site using a proper ship for that site.

The carebearness of FW is plain right disgusting that they can be allowed to do that

I propose a buff for FW sites , let there both be a FW rat for both sides "duking" it out, that means that someone with said cloak and 3 stabs on would not just be able to sit there for the 10 to 20 minutes with a random no good alt deplexing or plexing up the system, since they never bother to fit any kind of combat on their useless alts.

Carebears have gotten way to much love the last couple of years, where is the Open PVP , where is the Sandbox game Eve started out to be in 2003

Its just heart breaking having to cater to WoW kids and other MMO Themepark kids comming to Eve.

It's a complete disgrace. The FW Medals should have the shap of a Warp Core Stabilizer.

Hey dudes. In about an hour I'm going to be on the Declarations of War podcast having a debate against Trebor. Aleks Karrde will be moderating and there's a thread up taking suggestions for questions in this very subforum. You should go tell him what you'd like to hear me drone on about.

What I'm seeing in your proposal is an advantage to highsec industry when it's already much better than nullsec industry. You mention that these bonuses would carry over based on the metrics of a new Farms & Fields sov system, but as we have absolutely no indication what that would entail, specifically, we seem to be putting the cart before the horse. Further, that doesn't actually help the problem of taking down large towers in these situations. I don't feel this is the solution we're looking for at all.


May I ask how? That certainly was not my intention. The goal was to encourage the use of small and medium towers in high sec, and large towers where they can be reasonably threatened, and/or people in high sec are willing to pay a significant penalty for an assurance of safety. High sec industry does not need a boost, and I did not assume that getting high seccers to downsize would improve their situation.

I am assuming that nearly-free NPC station manufacturing is going the way of the do-do, at least in high sec, because that only makes sense, and that POS/outpost manufacturing will get a buff to encourage manufacturing outside of high sec.

Returning to the POS-in-highsec discussion, I think there's an easy target that everyone has overlooked in this thread. In fact, I've overlooked it until today. I'm talking about the one thing that only affects highsec POS management: starbase charters.

The current system requires 720 charters to maintain a POS for 30 days in highsec, regardless of size. At Jita price of 3599 per charter, that's a paltry 2.59 million isk.

What if we raised the charter consumption for medium and large POS? And I don't mean double or triple it. Let's add a zero for each step in size. Suddenly mediums cost 25.9 million a month and larges cost 259 million a month. And that's not even accounting for the tremendous impact this change would have on the price of charters.

What's more, towers that have exhausted their charters should be unanchored, not simply put offline. This way the first person to find the tower could scoop it and the system would become self-cleaning.

Given James 315 has withdrawn from the race, you'll get my vote and I'll try to get the rest of the minerbumping community voting for you too.

Thanks very much. I'll need those votes and I appreciate it. You should know there are some things that James has been arguing for that I won't be, such as the removal of level 4 missions from highsec.

However, I do think that I'm the best candidate to represent the people that would otherwise be voting for James in his absence and I hope I don't let you guys down. I'll likely be stopping by your forums or a chat channel near you to talk about it in the near future.

Monk, what do you think of James 315 criticism of the CSM that he presented when withdrawing from the race, specifically as it applies to your campaign. For example, you may be constrained by the NDA such that you would no longer be able to write your immensely popular and influential guides on running safaris. You are known among the belligerents undesirable community as an innovator and a mentor, both roles which stand to be "nerfed" by an NDA.

Also, we know that CCP employees are not allowed to suicide gank. It is not hard to imagine there being bans on CCP employees committing generally villainous activity, perhaps for reasons of propriety. Since CCP picks the "Iceland 5," do you think perhaps this misplaced notion of propriety could see you kept out of the process?

My position on missions in highsec is different to that of James.

I'm for having level 4 and 5 missions in highsec, but reducing their rewards considerably. L4s at ~80% of present HS rewards, L5s (as a totally optional 'training ground' for fleet ops) at ~50% of present LS rewards. This includes rat bounty payouts, meta loot drops, salvage loot tables, agent rewards, chances at faction loot, etc. (Similar changes needed in incursions).

I feel the main issue with missions is that lowsec ones do not pay enough. IMO lowsec level 3 security missions (the highest that can be completed in good time in a PVP fit ship that isn't stupidly expensive) should be paying out more than highsec level 4s.

Highsec bears running L5s in blinged ships would then be perfect targets for anti-bear operations, and players risking blinged battleships and strategic cruisers running lowsec L4s would also be an important part of the game's ecosystem, serving their place at the bottom of the food chain and being rewarded for it.


That said, even if you have a quite different position on this issue, you'll still be my first choice.

Being under NDA may prevent me from talking about some of my thoughts regarding the game design of eve, but as my blog is primarily entertainment in the form of killmails and chat logs and education in the form of guides, I don't think that'll grind it to a stand-still.

I especially don't believe that I'll be restricted from mentoring and innovating in game.

It's entirely possible that bias within CCP might see me cut out of actually attending the summit when I otherwise should, but even if that happens, it would still be better for us to have someone on the CSM than not. We have been so underrepresented that even if they limited me to smoke signals I would fill the sky with our message. I will invent new forms of communication if that's what it takes.

I'm fairly confident there's no malice in CCPs mistake about leaving us out in the cold, and any amount of representation we have is better than the amount we've traditionally had.
