CSM Campaigns

Ill keep this short and to the point.

I wont claim to be the best or the worst player. I want to see this game grow and alter the state of null and high sec warfare.

I pride myself on training the new players in our corp and I focus heavily on the new player experience.

My main concerns
null sov warfare something better than shooting high hit-point items
high sec wars Fixing the permadeck shuffle.
In addition High sec wars need to be fought over something not just vague isk values.
finding a better POS mechanic
deployables that are actually useful.

I also want to hear the communities input so I might be able to serve their interests.

Also so lets consider the deployables we have so far.

the ESS, Im sorry is a bit of a joke. Even with the changes to loyalty points its risks far exceed its benefits. Also the interdiction sphere around it only comes into effect for a cepter if they activate it to take all. doesn't hold them as a warp disrupt otherwise.

Mobile cyno inhibitor. Again we have seen approximately 2 times these have actually worked because of their low hp and long activation timers. In 10% tidi they are more than pointless as fc's have tons more time to see it and kill it. changes need to be made to make this what it was suppose to be.

Depots These actually are not bad...

mobile micro jump unit. Im not sure whats this things purpose was other than being redundant and making it pointless to put a micro jump on your ship.

Mobile scan inhibitors... These had promise. and a lot of it. then they made them visible to dscan. instant Im hiding something here scan me down beacons. not to mention they do not block any warpable object within then from broadcasting a system wide warp to. For instance a fix to this would be to make if deployed in a anom that anom now needs to be probed down it losses its instant warp. (miners would love this ratters as well.) before we jump to the doesnt that give an unfair advantage to the miners and ratters. no. why not? cause they spent the time to prepare. Also its range is silly short and should be able to hide pos as well.

Siphon units. lets assume i put 200 of these on every pos in the universe 10% of there efficiency is lost to the either of space. I dont even need to go back to empty or steal i just take a flat 10% away form them with almost no risk to me.

mobile tractor units. The mechanic as it stands is i can go chase a missioner in high sec and shot at these as they drop them and only gain suspect. yet still take off with all their stuff. (occasionally trigger stupid reaction of missioner to fight over it.) change the mechanic to criminal action similar to the thought of you cant take my ships loot unless you shoot at me.

Warp disruption fields. Formerly useful and only really useful against large groups trying to enter a cyno jammed system. Cepter roams have made these and even intel channels almost pointless. other than for camping hoping to catch anything but a cepter. Possible fix is a meta or different version of these that are designed to catch interdiction nullified ships. and only them.


High sec wars

ok so wars in eve are silly, in null their is not declaration of war cause it doesn't need it for the mechanic to work. low sec it doesn't matter either ohh sec status hit... can clearly see how that is working to prevent pvp in low sec... So lets focus on high sec. High sec wars currently are fought over one side dominating the other to the point they leave corp or alliance and reform under a new corporation to dodge the war. or they get permanently decked by marmite / whores / etc because they have new pilots that simply don't understand the mechanics. and walk into their station game traps. this is preying on the weak. Ive can flipped enough miners to know. these wars are arbitrary there is no goal or finish to them. they are not fighting over anything.

lets take war as an abstract concept. What is its propose? Wars are fought over territory, resources, and theology. So the Amarr get a pass on this... (that was a lore joke)

But what is a war in eve fought over? isk values? and total losses?

There is a fix. a War in eve needs to have a goal. I declare war on X corp or alliance so that I can take x moons and x customs offices from them within x time frame.

Now War is a concord approved action so dipping into lore it can be seen that concord have a need to micro manage everything. adding rules and regulations to things that may or may not need them. this change could play well in the story line as Concords way of trying to reign in the capsuleer threats.

Failure to complete objectives in the war within the timeframe yields a penalty of not being allowed via concord to continue.

Here is more where my vision for the future of eve/dust comes in. I want to see planets become upgradeable to the point they are worth fighting over or setting an alarm to defend.

Additionally as concord sanctions war interference in the war from 3rd party logistics should be a concord able offence and pull the corporation or alliance into the war because of their actions. Making 3rd party logi a thing of the past.

Back to abstract lets consider normal wars if a third party is found helping one side or the other they become a target as well. flipping back to eve currently they pull suspect of which doesn't really do anything to them as a penalty.


As for useful deployables
deployable surveillance units the operator gains a camera like option that shows any activity in the deployables area. useful for viewing the next system over without being there. or watching a gate for incoming hostiles while your on the other side of the system

I'm putting together a more firm vision of the eve dust connection that involves war barges with a special weapon that launches a siege clone bay into a customs office or pos and reinforces that pos or customs office until the resulting battle in dust contracts is completed. adding a different aspect to the current pos warfare deal.

And lastly Asking the Devs why they build a game on computer and not release their FPS on computers as well...

I think neutral logistics is a broken mechanic best of luck

quick and to the point all things that need to be adressed, I like this way of thinking

how you like fraction warfare?
people say it need to be fixed I dont see whats wrong with it, its one of my fav thing in eve
