Hi Sugar, I'm glad to see you running for reelection - few people have worked harder in the role than you have.

You skipped a couple of questions on vote match, both of which were of interest to me so I'd really like to hear your views.

The two subjects were whether eve's mechanics should be changed to strongly encourage the breakup of 0.0 powerblocks, and whether off grid links should be removed from the game.

If it's possible for you to update your vote match answers it'd obviously be a big help to people like me who're using the tool to sort through the 75 candidates!


Hey there. It seems that three of my questions did not save. Thank you for the catch. I did votematch over a few days. I’ve filled them in.

I do not want mechanics aimed at breaking up 0.0 power blocks. I want mechanics aimed at allowing different groups of different sizes with different reasons the ability to gain sov. Right now we have a minimum mass that you have to reach and that minimum is very, very large. I want more dynamic mechanics where dedicated and intelligent people can do something with themselves. The reason I separate that from mechanics aimed at breaking up power blocks is because I think building better general game mechanics is the answer not game mechanics with an aim to fix a singular problem.

Off grid boosting: This topic has been around for the three years that I have been playing. I’ve reached the point where I don’t want off grid or on grid boosts I want a rework of the system. I do not know what that looks like at this time but after sitting and talking with people, watching fights, reading battle reports, looking at ships with and without boosts I don’t think this is an on grid or off grid topic anymore.

I don’t like what off grid boosts do to people and do to fights. Yes you can hunt down link alts. Yes they have been moved from POS. But they still hug gates and stations or sit out deep in dead space. But they also let people take fights they wouldn't take as well and push their limits. Then we have people who don't use boosters and are successful.

On the flip side, if we move them into being on grid we give people another reason to increase their fleet size and then we give that naturally larger fleet an automatic force multiplier. Because they are on grid the smaller fleet/solo has less of a chance of having the booster with them, they lose their options when it comes to fleet comps, or they simply lose having boosts altogether. I don’t want to encourage groups to have another reason to grow in size and then add an extra cookie to them for it.
