Jita Park Speakers Corner

During my time in EVE, I have seen and done it all. In my early days I spent most of my time missioning in low sec, moving on to large scale mining operations in high sec and now on to commanding fleets of several hundred players across a multitude of alliances as a Coalition leader. I am an extremely active member of the community and I do not claim to be a saint. I have been banned by CCP before, I truly understand the side of the coin that falls on those who are banned or done wrong by CCP and how terribly slow and inefficient their customer support can be. I have a deep and intricate knowledge of EVE and I plan to put my knowledge, drive and ambition to good use as a member of CSM8.



I think I speak for us all when we say that there are some serious issues with the game we play. As a member of CSM8 I will not only press these issues to CCP, but work with the community to discover what you, the paying customer, wants from your game.



My platform is focussed around the playing experience for those who have poured a lot of their time and hard earned money into this game for many, many years.



- Tracking Titans. Finally, Titans had a use other than what was effectively a mobile Jump Bridge. The vocal minority may have swayed CCP into premature action, but we must press them for a rework. A Titan is a massive investment for pilots and as such, we should be not only allowed, but actively encouraged, via game mechanics, to use the ships we spent so long working toward.



- Supercarriers are a completely different beast to the mundane Mothership of old. But a Supercarrier is still completely useless without a mass of subcapitals to save it in the inevitable event it gets tackled. Why should such a massive and expensive ship be restricted to a Drone Bay that not only prohibits small scale use of them, but actively encourages massive numbers and blobs to protect these assets. The champion of all drone ships should have the champion of all drone bays, not the other way around.



-This current meta in EVE promotes massive collections of pilots forming with the explicit intent of denying a fight. It is a ludicrous situation and one that is not easy to solve. A mass of changes need to happen to combat this, but with your help, we can make it happen. A game should be played for fun and at the moment, a large group of players are being forced, by EVE's game mechanics, to deny the game to others.



- ISK making is a part of EVE we all have to face. Some more than others. We all wish we could spend less time ratting and more time shooting people in the face. There is a massive discrepancy between what we want and what we actually recieve. We want to play the game and lets face it, grinding anomolies is not playing the game, its facilitating the money required to play the game. The ISK making, particulary using active methods, must be increased.



These are just a few of the issues that we have in nullsec alone. We must address these as paying members of this game.

Rhavas @EVE_Rhavas The 483 people who endorsed Travis should be embarassed. #eveonline #tweetfleet #CSM8


tia or the votes

Best candidate thread I have read so far.

What will you do once, twitter is an out dated service?

I endorse tracking titans!

As a high sec miner I endorse this message and you have my 41 votes.

Musgrat... your interview is terrible...

This is how you come across... please correct these assessments:

You endorse tracking titans & sentry supercarriers... because they are expensive ships and should be wtfpwnmobiles, game balance be damned!

You support new forms of income... although you rely on moon income/alliance income to pay for your PvP, and don't actually do any bottom up income making activities. (and find them boring enough to consider botting).

You want to be a CSM candidate, but don't want to put any effort into it when you are a CSM candidate... I mean, when forum whoring and communication stuff becomes work, you shouldn't have to do it because EvE is a game for fun, even if you are a CSM member.

You don't need to campaigning, because nepotism will get you voted in...

Should also, use the vital resources Myspace has to offer, to help ya garner more votes. Maybe even make chairman.

looks like another year for you to sob about your tracking titan
