CSM Campaigns

Can I make a suggestion that a less controversial platform for those of us who do not play EVE for PvP is the additional of new content which is not centered around PvP or in areas where PvP is likely in seconds once you decloak.

EvE has improved it fleet combat in the last 7 years or so, but it has always had an amazing potential in its economy implementation. Would CCP countenance adding new content for non PvP or PvE activites, the last time this seemed to happen was with PI and some small additions to exploration. This is not about dumbing down the game or making it risk free it is about giving some love to the areas of the game that at lot of us are attracted to in Eve other than exploiting other players. Why has CCP never widened trade possibilities much or fleshed out more NPC companies opportunities for player content?

You have my vote; any possibility you could expand on this in a bit more detail? I'd be interested in your thoughts. Thanks.

It has indeed been a busy week!

The official candidate list is out - I am there.

Just for clarity, I wanted to point out (as I said in at least one other place) that I am living in Germany, but I am not german... just in case that ends up being important for anybody.

Whilst I have been taking a couple of days (more or less) away from the internet, there came an interesting DEVblog on the New Player Experience. https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/opportunities-abound-the-new-player-experience/
Looks like interesting times are ahead!

Still, thank you for stopping by, anyway.



Ok.

Some of the things / ideas I have said on this subject in various forum/interview and stuff:

- Teach the new players about DSCAN, as part of the NPE.
- Introduce some randomness in CONCORD response times (both longer and shorter than currently...)
- An active self-destuct module that would allow a non-afk miner/freighter to take most of his stuff with him... if he chooses.

I can understand that with so many candidates you don't feel that you have time to read all the threads and listen to the interviews et cetera... but if you really want to know... you really should read the thread and listen to the interviews...

I will vote for you, Lorelei Lerendi. I don't know if The Caldari Navy Intelligence Self Destruct Device is your idea, but I'd love that to be advocated.

Additionally, as for the bounty mechanics, if it hadn't been suggested before, I would like to see a "Bounty Hunter" skill set, raising the payout significantly higher than it is currently.

As for wardeccs, and player corporations generally, what is your view in raising wardecc cost / CONCORD bribe 10 to 100 fold, aswell as corporation creation cost. Both also could be raised in difficulty with skills.

Nachbar Grüße!

Thank you for your reply. Lorelei Ierendi.

In the interview in the link you provided you said something that caught my attention: Highsec is underrepresented in the CSM. That's terrible! Users and players can create as much content in low and null sec as much as they want and is possible, but highsec is something CCP has a responsibility for.
I don't yet have much insight in the NPE, but I think new players should be able to get an understanding of the difference between order and anarchy (which is just another word for sandbox imo) and learn to decide how much they want to or can take before being confronted by piracy et al the first day on. And I don't think a few repetetive missions count.

As much CCPlease I (and many others) would like to do, I want to refrain from details, pleads and rants for now. This is my first CSM election, and we'll see what, if anything, will change. I have a strong RPG and SciFi background, and being a carebear is for me the only way to play the game. And btw, I only very recently discovered its exact meaning, and I think it's a dumb word, It should be a completely legit playstyle just like pirates or anyone living in wormholes. But I agree in being AFK is not legit, and I agree with your 50:50 approach.One can't be without the other.

Ok, just one rant. Creating a corporation is too easy and too cheap. There should be a minimum bar of what one corporation may expect from wardeccing another in terms of resilience and defense. The stronger mostly become stronger on cost of the weak, not other strong ones. That may be anti-darwinian, but it's a game after all.
And as for wardec mechanics, the cost could be dependant on system security. You pay so much, and may attack the enemy corp members up to this or that system security. After all a wardec payment is a CONCORD bribe, and I would like to see a 1.0 sec CONCORD integrity withstand but the highest bribe (or even additionally Connection skill), and a 0.5 sec CONCORD crimewatch officer look the other way for cheap. That may result in corp members fleeing into higher sec and disrupting their businesses and having a chance to regroup and organize themselves ( to defend their POS etc.) rather than immediately disbanding the corp altogether.
This as much as for CCP having to take responsibility for its highsec.

Good luck on your election!! And sorry for the "neighborly" greetings earlier, in the official candidate list your country of origin is listed as Germany.

my pleasure.



Just because it is difficult, however, does not mean that it is not worth trying!

Thank you!
I will take what I can get! :)

And of course, this was already handled about two posts after the one you are quoting.
But thank you for reading, anyway!
