CSM Campaigns

Sugar's going to be a great CSM member.

You can do this already.
You can anchor a drug-lab in high sec if you want.

You're thinking of the reactor though, right? They can only be anchored in 0.3 or below.

Question for Ms Kyle...

Do you have any ideas or thoughts on reactors and drug labs being made into mobile deployable structures?
Fozzie slipped it in as a suggestion here and it's something I'd love to see

R U anti-pirate ?

Nope. :)

You have my support. Glad to see someone with your attitude and experience with a desire to make low-sec better. It needs a lot of work (not including FW even).

I don't live in lowsec, but I believe that it's a very important part of Eve. We definitely need a lowsec member on the csm.

1) There is a section of the player base who is quickly disenchanted with players that enter the game with seemingly little desire to learn. I do not believe that they are the entire player base or that the entire player base deserves the absolute “we” in the introduction.

2) I think a lot of it comes from frustration. Many people have been playing this game for ten years. Some become tired of answering the same question over and over again. Not everyone has the temperament to help new players into the game. When the information they do give is rejected or never sought they do not feel pity when the new player stumbles.

However, the simplicity of this question ignores the other segment of the population. The people who go out and actively help new players. The ones who write guides, make videos, do talks, run fleets, run corporations based on teaching, bring in new players to their groups, troubleshoot rookie chat, answer the New Citizens area, sit in help chat, answer on reddit, correct misassumptions on news stories and in general promote and share Eve online as a game.

I believe that this topic is about the vocal minority. The vocal minority, being vocal, cover up the quiet majority. I would think that anyone that has spent time in the community can take a moment to look at all of the positive, healthy aspects of social behavior around them to measure the vocal minority listed in the original question. I refuse to look at one without the other.

3) CCP already has rules in place. Continued enforcement of those rules will go far. I’d like CCP to put some constant energy into improving the methods that a player can acquire a better knowledge about Eve. I believe in combating ignorance with education. It is not reserved for new players. There are older players who have never looked at patch notes after four years of playing.

What are your opinions on the current off-grid Ganglink support mechanics? Do you believe that a character should be able to give said bonuses while sitting on a station or gate with no aggression timer?

At this time there are both pros and cons to off grid links. Positives are things such as being able to drop them into a safe where they have to be scanned down or hug them to a station where they can hopefully dock before they are alphaed. Negatives are that they have to be probed down and caught or alphaed before they dock or tuck back into shields. Link pilots at this time tend to be an alt character and those moments of inattention cause them to be lost when the other side is on the ball.

I’d have no problem with links gaining aggression timers as long as it was similar to logistics ships. They will take the flags that their fleetmates have. When they shut down their links their flags will count down. I do not think that activation of links should automatically give a timer.

Links are currently used outside of PvP. Incursion runners for instance use links to support their fleets. So do link Orcas. Both are cases where links are used and there is no reason to automatically gain an aggression timer. It would put them in the same position logistics ships used to be in when they repped an outlaw character, even if that character was in their corporation and had no criminal flags.

Yes.
