CSM Campaigns

I red your linked article and i like it so much. I also explained a solution about force projection to put a cooldown when you jump. The more AU jump the bigger the cd is. The max CD should allow a player to jump one time and get back in one gaming session. Let say a normal EVE player gaming session is 4 hours, so the CD should be 2 hours.

But i think your idea is way better. It adds a more tactical aspect to the force projection. Sugar you should defo look at it.

These things need to stop, PL has no business to be there.

Sugar knows a surprising amount of people, and is quite active on her blog and the twitters.

She might not be the most active pvp'er in our corp since her playstyle embraces the industrial side of things, but she excels at that. As far as I know, she has not done the FW button orbiting, BNI horde, been a snuff cap pilot, or done R1FTA style solo. But she has friends and corp mates that have done it all, and we have no problem lending our opinions or regaling her with our own experiences. This gives her the ability to relate to the majority of Low Sec lifestyles. Just from this thread you can see the wide range of people that support her; I have done a lot of FW and still have an alt in Fweddit, Wex Manchester is an old corp mate and is now in Snuff, Kaeda was in R1FTA and we occasionally do roams with them.

I do agree that we need to band together and get a CSM candidate elected, and Sugar is the best candidate that has stepped forward. She will get my first vote not because she is a corp mate or a friend, but because I believe she will do us great justice.

IMHO the biggest requirement of a CSM member is commitment to the game & players and the ability to communicate well with the players & CCP. Sugar Kyle has already demonstrated her exceptional talents in these areas and is going to make an exceptional CSM member. You'd be crazy not to vote for her.

SHADOW CARTEL PRETENDING THAT THEY SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE LOWSEC COMMUNITY, AND GETTING UPSET THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS DOING SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEM

SO OUT OF CHARACTER !




AND I DO TRULY FEEL TOTALLY ALIENATED BY THE ONE CSM CANDIDATE DEDICATED TO IMPROVING LOW SEC



FOR NOW, IM GOING WITH VOTE 1 SUGAR KYLE , VOTE 10 WHOEVER SC IS CHAMPIONING, JUST IN CASE THEY ARE STILL WONDERING WHO HAS BEEN ALIENATING PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD

*MAKE A SINGLE POST*

*GET ACCUSED OF CAMPAIGNING, BY A SHADOW CARTEL ALT WITH AT LEAST 5 POSTS IN THE SAME THREAD*

*WONDER'S WHY I BOTHER*

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE AN ALT IN MY EYES

Considering the other posts and the comments about being well known I feel that this is a matter of stylistic representation.

Chatting with others over some of the questions brought forward one person said that people want to make sure that they are not dismissed. Looking at it from that perspective the ‘type’ of PvP done could be a concern if I was obsessed with it and considered my path the proper one. From there, one might worry that I would agree with nerfs to larger gangs who focused on different types of PvP because it was not something that would bother ‘me’.

PvP is PvP. One thing I cannot do is speak out against another’s PvP style because it is not mine. Nor can I agree on nerfing a type of PvP because it is not mine. Such as gatecamps. A gatecamping lifestyle is not one that I happen to understand, personally. I do not feel a draw to spend my time doing this. However, I don’t dismiss people who gatecamp. I have dropped into the threads that spawn regularly where people suggest that the way to bring people into low sec is to nerf gatecamps so that they can travel with Orcas full of goodies, safely and the lazy PvPers are forced to work to kill them to state my opinion on why they are wrong and to defend those that wish to spend their lives camping.

If camping was brought onto the table then the next step is to find a medium. I’d say happy medium but often such things are not happy. But “I don’t do that so I do not care” is not how I approach a situation.

I use this as an example to explain that not doing something, especially a style of something that I do is not a reason to invalidate it. While it may become repetitive, I will continue to explain that representation does not mean only the things Sugar does matter in Eve. Just because I do not do something or I am not personally effected by subject does not make it irrelevant, not exist, or be ignored.

On the way to election and after, I want to meet with people. If people want to talk I will listen. If they want to write, I will read. Listening is a fantastic thing. Listening to someone tell their problems unearths a lot of interlinked problems. Sometimes what is bothering someone and the actual core problem are not immediately apparent. A wide range of people will create a pool of knowledge that will paint a much larger picture.



1-I think that this is very interesting. The separation and specific definition of the areas would hopefully cause different types of people to settle in different areas. It creates texture and depth. However, what about the predator? For the predator (the current bulk of the non fw-low sec population), they are looking for the prey. They’d follow and consume. Are we trying to create areas where the prey will thrive enough to fight back and defend? And if so how do we stop the resources from being too great that it does not just create a farming situation and recreate current woes?

2- What is a fitted ship? Let us say that every slot had to be full. If they filled them with trash modules to fit the restriction, would that be better?

And missions need to be rebalanced everywhere. Accepting blitzable missions is prevalent in every single area of space. There are level 5 missions that need a few shots from a battleship and complete.

3-PvE needs attention and rebalancing, agreed.

4-I’m very happy to snatch and add resources like this to low sec. If it has to be in the current mechanics, exploration is a good choice. If it can be in the mechanics of my dreams, the pirate expansion would be coming soon because it would be awesome.

5-This speaks close to my heart. I run a trade hub in low sec. My jump freighter is my backbone. I jump a lot. Enough to have trained JF Conservation V, Jump Freighters V and Racial Freighter V. Now, before I had it I could move a freighter with the support of my corporation. I like that and write extensively on the antics that we got up to with me in freighters and Orcas jumping into low sec. My jump freighter has created opportunities for me to expand my market, one that is used by more than my personal corporation.

But, my hub is on an edge system. Industry is bulky and inconvenient. If we removed jump freighters we would remove many industrial opportunities in deeper low sec. Jump freighters are a two way street. They stop things like convoys of freighters but they also bring assets into regions of space that might otherwise not have a population.

Now, you’re above idea of ‘textured’ or ‘flavored’ regions might be strong enough to help support this but it would be a huge change and can easily be the type of nerf that kills more than it heals.

6-I’m down for this.

7- I am not fully sure what you envision here. We’ll have to chat about this more :)



Force projection is delicate. Too much in either direction kills huge chunks of gameplay. This is where I would seek solutions and especially solutions from those who use it. It is easy, when one is the one dropped to just want to get rid of it. But how would those that use this mechanic the most handle the situation? Those are the people I will need to hunt down for advice and opinions.




What do we want from them? What are your ideas? Passive income such as moon goo?

One of my list of topics that I brought up at Fanfest was the fact that than Moons were mostly controlled by null sec groups. My feeling was that moons located in low sec, were not there to be used by the people that lived in low sec. With timers and the ability to travel accross the game they were dominated by the large, organized groups in the game which meant that they were a null sec resource that was inconveniently located. It is the type of thing siphons were introduced for, but they were introduced after the nerf.

POS in general are a soul deep pain. I have been refueling them as I worked on this response. I believe that deployables are the first step to redoing POS and the current POS structure will be trashed. I can be wrong. It’s my guess.

I am flabbergasted. That was the best CSM pitch I have ever read, and the fact that you intend to speak knowledgeably for the most ignored area of gameplay just compounds my astonishment. You have my vote, and I will push to have you added to people's recommended voting lists.

Again, amazing contribution. Thank you.

If Sugar ends up being the only, or the best of others' throwing their hat into the CSM ring to represent low sec, so what if she isn't "experienced" in all aspects of low sec? What's the point SC dudes?

Part of being on the CSM is to take the concerns, ideas, etc... of the player base that they represent and present it to CCP and hash ideas. Instead of smacking her down because you think you're some kind of hero God-like end all to be all low sec heroes, stand up and commit to the CSM yourself. OR be excellent communicators to her, should she win a seat, and help her understand the things she doesn't know and enable and empower her to empower you. No one knows everything. And the fact that some of you act like she should, or that you do, is pure laughable.

I think Sugar's platform is well written. I for one will have her at the top of my list. Even Hans had mega votes by his FW enemies because they believed and trusted he would represent them. Just because someone isn't l33t Cartel-ish in your eyes doesn't mean she won't do her damnedest to represent you.
