CSM Campaigns

Skilled player who would get my vote too.

T3s as they stand are better than BS , HAC , Command Ships they dominate fights as they do most thing very well all at once. I am not a game designer but it feels like they do too much well at once. Tank , Speed , Sig , DPS & DPS Application. Please point to a HAC , BS , BC hull that can do all of the above other than the Ishtar. I am not quite sure what to do with the Ishtar either but its still pretty op. I think maybe reducing the dronebay size is the answer.

BS get bombed and have terrible mobility, hacs are generally speaking fairly flimsy and command ships are a mess.

Don't you think these issues should be addressed before what I would hope to be a reasonable T3 rebalance

I love the alliance tourney. I would like to see more tourneys I participated in the past AT on the PL team on my alt Paik ( the Eos that lived in structure ). Unfortunately the problem with Eve is its kinda niche and im not sure its viable for E-sports. I wish it was. I don't really have a answer but i'll be listening for the guy/girl who does have the answer.

I think in regards to new players that perhaps a week or so in a noobie friendly area would be great. Completely insulated from the rest of Eve. Most games have a noobie area which is focused on helping new players learn about the actual game and its mechanics. Once they have the time to learn this push them out of the nest. New players should be able to opt out sooner if they want. New player retention is one of the biggest hurdles for CCP.



With the changes to power projection and further changes with sov you will start to see fights become more localized with less outsiders intervening. Numbers will always be a huge factor in fights and there is no way that I know of to change that.



So to be clear I don't have the smoking gun answer. But what I do have is a ton of knowledge and experience in this game. I plan to use that to help CCP develop or find the possible smoking gun. But in regards to why would people want to live in Nullsec? Risk vs Reward and Carrots should be the driving principles. You can't force players to do anything however you can incentivize the thing you want them to do and not make it painful and they will do it.

Yea I think there have been a bunch of good ideas on NPC Nullsec. The ones I like alot is that inhabitants that do things for the faction get added benefits similar to some of the benefits you get from holding sov. Hisec PVP I am not really sure I think people that aren't interested in PVP mainly reside in Hisec. So honestly I would just listen for good ideas for this area.

+1 for Manny.
The best man for the job.

Manny is already deserving member of the EVE community, having him as member of CSM will only improve his contributions for the beneft of all.

Manny,

You had me at hello...

Go get 'em big fella.

I would not mind if T3's lost 10-15% DPS and 20-25% tank in exchange for CCP making the rest of the non standard subsystems no complete garbage... Plus if they get that kind of nerf I feel the skillpoint loss will need to go. Also recons need to be fixed because they are complete trash right now and hac's need another balance pass most of em are garbage.

Another thing in regards to bombers I don't think a rebalanced will do bombing in its current form has to go. Because in a game that kind of is about blobbing anti blob weapons have no place otherwise why did titan guns get nerf'd beyond reason... CCP is fairly inconsistent in their balancing and its hurting the game.

In your opinion:

1) what is currently broken about lowsec?
2) how would you fix it?
3) how do you see low-sec fitting into the universe as a whole going forward?

Your post mentions something about FW, but there is more to lowsec than FW.
