CSM Campaigns

I've been in pretty close contact with Jayne (we were almost alliance mates there for a bit!), Mangala, and Sugar over the last year and I think the world of all three of them and the work they've put into the game.

I love the idea of NPSI groups, they provide a very interesting gameplay approach to EVE that is unique to EVE, and that's great. The more tools CCP can provide to players to approach the game in their own way, the better. Obviously CCP will always be behind the curve to some degree, but that's understandable.

I'd definitely be in support of additional tools and organizational structures that NPSI communities are interested in having, though my personal feeling is that it's of the utmost importance to iron out the traditional organizational structures first before turning attention to NPSI organizations. They're niche and unique and require abnormal support from my understanding, and due diligence needs to be done to ensure that they retain that unique, niche aspect.

To your second point, I'd also be highly interested in more granular "corporations" that aren't as robust as full corporations with their own drawbacks and advantages. I'd approach this topic with my general mentality:

• What gameplay element does it provide?
• What are its advantages?
• What are its natural disadvantages?
• What disadvantages should be leveraged against it to keep the risk/reward scale balanced?

It's an interesting time to be having discussions of this nature too, as I imagine that the corporate and alliance rework is - if not close to completion - at least in its late design stages, after which the momentum and leverage gained there may be applied to new ideas such as this. Having CSM members who are aware and open to implementing engaging new mechanics like this is definitely going to be important in the near future.
