The last rat I shot for ISK died in 2009!

Oh, right. Suzy. Umm, a lot of players rat happily, but in the opinion of those who rise above, it's suckie gameplay.

it is fairly mind numbing. However it's the best isk/hr i've been able to find with my modest skill set. Seeing as the barrier to entry is minimal i don't think it needs much to change... just be smart and optimize.

what is your take on cloaky afk camping as a tactic?

personally i view it as at best a broken mechanic. worst as harassment. this being simply because there is no counter to it..

what might you do to provide a counter to cloaky camping, what costs might it have and how would you balance it?

Here's the thing with cloaky camping. It's not gameplay. Pizza/Pasta Rage incoming. You have been warned.

Cloaky camp 0 risk. You go to the store. You go to work or cook dinner but you don't play eve. Then you sit down look at the target decide what you need to win and do it.

Needs contrast and i like the concept of some sort of cyno like beacon for the recon ship class vessels. Timer based where you can break that cloak throughout the system for as long as that beacon can be fueled just like a cyno. I think this allows the afk hunter to be hunted. It also makes the cloaky camper have to actually play the game.

seems this could be a decent balance for the mechanic.

i really like that idea! combat recon bonus to cloaky jammer. makes it vulnerable, makes the cloaky vulnerable. if he is active cloaky has a fair shot at killing a recon, if not he can be probed out.

its fair and balanced.

I love the new Asset Search windows, which can now search through containers.

Something I would love would be the ability to search through my assets that are in POSs in addition to just what I have in stations. Do you plan to address assets and POSses as CSM Suzy RC Mudstone?

POSes are going to be revamped in the near future. I would like to see some in space asset search and perhaps even remote management from in a station.

ooh cool idea. POS management from CQ couch would be nice, with something like PI planetary view.

manning POS guns from the comfort of my couch... would that be OP?

In every PvP game I've played, all those years, there has always been a hunter killer able to go after cloaked characters (and sometimes dedicated mostly to that).

Why not make the Force Recon (the recon without cloak, supposed to be the ultimate EWAR platform) able to scan down and hunt cloaked ships: if the cloaked pilot is active, he can see the Recon coming to him and warp to another bookmark, but if he is AFK, he's dead meat.

When close enough, the Force Recon can target (which breaks the cloak)... and the rest is history :)

SUZY just so you know, I grabbed the above post.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Hey rock on. I really like the idea of balancing the cloaking mechanics so any exposure on the issue is a good thing.

So the CSM is often made up of veteran players and those who are relatively prominent in the public eye. I'm not really that guy. I haven't been endorsed by any coalition or corp or large group in any way. I love this game and it's still so much fun. I'd like to represent the every man of eve and the relatively new players.


Right. You'd like to represent every man, woman and child in EVE, but forgot to mention you're part of the largest Coalition in EVE. Which has absolutely no effect on your viewpoints, goals and endorsments.

Can you reiterate for us tinfoil-hat people what exactly you're bringing to the table that would drastically be better than the already veteran players on CSM so far?

The character does not represent the views/opinions of its Corporation or Alliance.

Well that's the thing, I haven't been endorsed by anyone as a large group. I'm doing this on my own. What i bring to the table is that i'm not the old bitter cynical vet. I've been in WI for 3 mos and 6 days as of this writing. To be honest CFC, GSF, even WI no one has really even acknowledged my running. My time in null sec and my year or so of play sure does have an influence on my viewpoints. As for endorsements I only have individuals.

My hope is that the community can see value to a new perspective. I try to look at things as neutrally as possible. I try to see things with the interest of balance and logic. My personal view of the CSM, while yes they will have knowledge and passion for one aspect over another, is there to take the voices of the community and relay that voice in a concise manner. Try to look at what people are saying and try to distill it down to its core or explore the whole issue.

An example would be an evemail i received today in regards to low sec. Mention was made to having pirates appear blinking red on overview by default. That i feel is a small part of a larger quality of life issue. Lets not just address that. Lets look at the overview as a whole. Why are so many people installing "aftermarket" or 3rd party overview packs? Maybe maintain the customization but pull some of the immensely valuable aspects of some other overview packs into the game loaded default.

Similar to incorporating some of the features and value of EFT or Pyfa into the in game fitting interface.

Can i represent every single individual in eve alone? Absolutely not. I don't think that's a realistic goal. That's also why there are many representatives on the CSM and not just one.

I would ask that no one underestimate the value of someone relatively new to the game that hasn't been necessarily hardened by it. I am confident i can bring new and balanced perspective to the table from someone who loves it, logs on every day, and really wants to do everything they can to make eve even more awesome.

AFK cloaking is a necessity due to the way game mechanics currently work. If I jump into your system while you're ratting, you know what you'll do? Go dock up instantly or call 200 of your goon buddies to come back you up. That's completely legitimate, you seek to minimize loss and defend your territory. But why not allow me the possibility to challenge that status quo?

What are your own credentials on this matter? How many systems have you ransomed? How many covert operations have you headed? Are you not merely a sheep trying to give your opinion about how wolves should hunt?

As i've stated above i look to balance the mechanic as others have expressed interest as well.

As for challenging the "status quo" i think that's the whole objective of the new sov mechanics that are expected to come out. Clearly cloak camping isn't necessary to kill anyone ratting as plenty of ratters die every hour even. I've been on both sides of this and i believe it's a mechanic that should be looked at... also stated previously in thread.

Edit: Also notice my partnership in running with WingspanTT basically a guy who spends 90% of his time cloaked in eve.

Cloaky camping isn't necessary to kill anyone ratting, this is true. But getting rid of cloaky camping isn't necessary to save ratters either as thousands of ratters do just fine on a daily basis. The argument is flawed and can be applied in reverse just as easily.
