I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

12. Discussion of forum moderation is prohibited.

The discussion of EVE Online forum moderation actions generally leads to flaming, trolling and baiting of our ISD CCL moderators. As such, this type of discussion is strictly prohibited under the forum rules. If you have questions regarding the actions of a moderator, please file a support ticket under the Community & Forums Category.

27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster.

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

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

I was sent an e-mail asking about multiboxing and such.

Further on that:
If you can ALT+Tab then control your characters, that is fine ...

... and maybe some very specific instances of mapping keys from one keyboard to another computer or client but they would be keys unique to each client and this would then cut down the available keys per client for each one you run; reducing possible commands, not having timed broadcasts from one key and having an inherent cost to benefit ratio.

The way that EVE has plateaued and considering the learing curve, I think the sort of people drawn to EVE are the sort drawn to Linux. I really feel it would be important to try get EVE on Ubuntu's software centre listing and make some song and dance about it.

Considering that this post was 2-3 years ago and Dust is here, Legion is coming, maybe ... just maybe Dust can EVE can link in a more meaningful way?

Imagine walking out of your Captain's Quarters and there are loyal Dust troops rushing about, finding a ship to get to another planet ... and they see you, "What can you fly?! How fast can you get there?!"
"Erm ... umm ... a suicide bomber, could fit like 15 of you guys, with your equipment in there."
... and so it could go.

Jen, I think we disagree on things.. perhaps even maybe a large number of things. But I think you have spirit, and I like your communication style and brain. I hope you carry this attitude into CSM.

You will receive my vote. Good luck to you with the election.

Thank you for your support.
I have not received a lot of positive feedback and most of my friends have quit during the time that I was forced to take a break.

I have been feeling very negative toward EVE lately, feeling that all the "good" ones have gone and it is only the ones that want the game dumbed down more and kills made easier who are left.

Please, as ever, tell others to vote. I am relying on word of mouth.

Even if they vote for others; more votes means more of the majority will be represented.

I imagine these campaigns can get nasty sometimes, just like RL politics.

This has contributed but it is more general and game wide.

When you break down all the stats into effect, Mackinaws, Covetors and Retrievers are really shocking paper bags.

Isn't any mining vessel a paper bag outside of hisec?

It is midday and I am feeling sleepy for some reason..

Skiffs have the right sort of tank done right that in many instance help can warp to you before you pop. However, there is a big fat price tag on those.
So, your one and only real option when reds are around is Procurers, mine for an hour or two in that and it has paid for itself.

The thing I am saying is that a Retriever has 30% of the Procurers tank (time to live) with 96% of the yield.
So, it is an utterly useless ship except for AFK mining (for the cargo hold), where you do not care about your losses.

Hi. I fell asleep earlier. What a strange thing..

Yield isn't everything. Besides being blown up, travel time reduces your ISK/hr significantly. Rettys have a superior ore hold.

Around reds no amount of tank is going to help if you get scrammed. As far as warping out of grid goes, you should already be aligned. An untanked, always-aligned Retty has been my goto ninja ice miner. I pick systems with an empty Local, but I don't bother leaving if someone comes in.

Adding more tank to the Retty is like piling on lingerie in the Arctic. I honestly would prefer the ore hold stay as it is..

Only if you are solo.

I think the scaling on the ships are all wrong. I would like to see :

Tank go up:
Procurer --> Covetor
Skiff ---> Hulk

Ore Hold go down:
Procurer (at retriever levels) --> Covetor
Skiff (at Mackinaw levels) --> Hulk

Ore Hold go up:
Barge --> Exhumer

Align time go down:
Procurer --> Covetor
Skiff ---> Hulk
Barge --> Exhumer

Acceleration to warp go down:
Procurer --> Covetor
Skiff ---> Hulk
Barge --> Exhumer

Yield go up:
Procurer --> Covetor
Skiff ---> Hulk
Barge --> Exhumer

This would make Procurers cheap, nimble ships that are reasonable (mostly as they are now)
While Hulks would have a decent yield to be worth the risk, large tanks but slow, so they would need support. Anyone solo mining in one would be a fool.

.... and yes, this if you haven't seen it.

Had a hilarious mail of support from an old alliance mate.

My old alliance got spread pretty thin. We keep jump dream to dream too fast. I warned the leader at the time about this, it become a flaming argument, with most of them against me, so I left.
Fast forward and the alliance has imploded almost exactly as predicted.

I got a message basically saying that he voted for me in the hopes that I attack the other CSM members and it lands up on Youtube. Lol

(Might be too much of an inside joke) >.>

This is exactly the way my old alliance used them on those occasions when we'd mine in our wormhole: easy for anyone to fly, and so cheap that nobody cared if they popped. We had a big stack of them packaged in the POS.The cloud of small drones that even a small group of Retrievers could muster was a decent disincentive, too: you might pop one barge before getting swarmed, but if you're in a tin-can cloaky ship, good luck once they get to you. And yeah, sure, there are counters, but again, we didn't care, and nobody ever bothered to bring a hard counter because that's a lot of effort to take down a few disposable ships.

In the year or so we were in the WH we might have lost two? three? But you also have to factor in that we hardly ever mined.

In the "don't care if I lose it" space, I think Retty's are good for ice and the Ventures for gas.
