So I appreciate those who voted for me in the CSM9 and CSM10 campaigns and would like to once again throw my hat in the ring. As Eve is an ever changing game I have moved from High sec into null sec and back to high sec. I am still passionate as ever about fixing high sec for those that are there.

If you want the no bull platform here it is. I am a public servant in real life and I feel that the CSM is the body the represents the player base. Its reputation for only being for the large power blocks dramatically degrades its ability to do its mission. There are some on the CSM that are great at this. And as we have seen there are many from these areas that cant even be trusted to show up. Here is my platform. as CSM that you can trust to show up, do the job and represent the player base tot he developers. Its time to revamp the dying age of space politics and focus on making the game great again.

I'm sure you want to know if I will work well with others? I don't worry about who is from what corp I want the ideas to be weighed on their own merit and whats best for the player base.

So Who am I in EVE?
Drifter Incursion FC for What Drifters?
Spectre Fleet Jr. FC
High sec industrial Corp Director
High sec war dec corp CEO
incursion runner (TDF)
Former CUP FC
Former ECIO Jr FC
Former Battlement Coalition FC
Serenity Initiative FC
Manager of a ton of POS

Notable Events in attendance

High sec Fleet LC for ghost site launch (those that joined the amarr fleet …. Sorry bros)
Hunt for Caldari officials Dread kills in high sec

T2 Triage Pilot Pro Logistics is best logistics

So why do I want to try this again, because someone has to ask the questions that are not being discussed. High sec war decs, neutral logistics, Logi on killmails, support for multi alliance communities like TDF or incursion shiny, Alliance level bookmarks. For the EFT warriors out there more than 200 fits.

Reaffirming the place and purpose of the CSM. It’s important to note that there was a 33% drop in voting from the previous year statistically more people play eve than the year before and that number keeps growing according to the csm 9 voting data. However less and less are voting for the one of the most important groups to represent the players. Getting the CSM to have diversity and some new blood is a great way to go to get some new opinions and maybe ask some questions that haven’t been brought up before

Refocusing on the new player experience and getting players funneled out of newbie corps and into player run corps. Making things easier to understand is key here. I remember as a new bro I had no idea where the overview was for a solid 20 minutes the first time I undocked.

Supporting occupancy based sov and the ability to change the sov you are using. I think some of the ideas being discussed have some merit in what null secs future is. And in breaking up the massive blocks of somewhat unused space for smaller groups to create content.

Feel free to ask questions below.

p.s. 3rd time is the charm.

(I did know your name at the time of the interview I watch weekly on the live stream for Eve prosper, Have me on for an interview and Ill be sure to at least end in your endorsed candidates)

"I don't care where the other person comes from if they have good ideas I'm willing to listen"

Eve is about community first and foremost. Support our community through Broadcast4Reps.

What would you change about wardecs?


What would you do to encourage players to go beyond just highsec?

Low end prices for wardecs could be raised...but the top end should be lowered as well. However "win conditions" is fairly vague. You also make the mistake in thinking that "fair fights" are necessary. A wolf is going to eat a sheep. We don't handicap the wolf in order to give the sheep a chance.


Your 2nd point is good. I feel as though 0.0 needs to have a higher ratio of rewards vs highsec.

Finally available, the interview recorded by CSM Watch for the CSM 11 election coverage: Commander Aze interview

Giving an incentive for defense to actually fight back is key to making the mechanic worthwhile.

Eve is a game of internet spaceships and I think CCP Guard said it best[ "Killing is just a means of communication" CCP Guard so lets get the conversation started and talking more often

I want it to be know Im not interested in removing the mechanic I want it to be more engaging for both sides.


Source for CCP Guard quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSxNW5dDYEY

if you have the win conditions set as the citadel that changes things in your equation.

the benefit of my idea is that its flexible (cost likely would be too) Ill admit that its not a full idea but that is why its important to host town halls and communicate what would be best.

first is cost. I made a joke a few days ago the concord has a lower cost to be paid off that a low quality hooker. 50 million isk is a pittance compared to corporate income I pay more than that for corp offices for a month. This needs to cost more. (I know i'm not making friends saying this but double or triple this would be more reasonable.

But lets consider a scaleable war dec system. where groups with no assets in space can be war decced and given some way to win (this doesn't exist currently and not sure what it would look like.)

the second level of this is a win condition of POS defense. Win the timer an restront means you won the war. same can be done for customs offices and etc. (forces the fight to be over something. )

then citadel wars. you are right they need to be longer to fit all the timers but what if the defense wins the first timer? or the second timer. should the war continue of there is no hope of finishing in the time frame. Winning the timer being returning the shields to 50% (level to reset the reinforcement window) Gives Defense a purpose to fight at each timer so they can win.

This is of course only an idea and a rough one at that. But starting the discussion on fleshing it out is the more important part and that takes more than one man or even a small group that takes a playerbase to be communicating

So I'll be the first to say i don't have all the answers I just have a theory.

I like your idea but

Give them the incentive to fight to end a war dec and you will get a fight from Defense. If no benefit you get nothing form a war on either side and really its a net loss to the game. To many war decs that don't have any kills at all.

The reasons to fight from the office are readily apparent PVP, income gain from loot, income from mercenary work, and etc.

its much better than current mechanics of ditching corp to mine for a week. or worse just not playing all together.

I think this will create fights and we will see less war decs that have no losses on either side. Additionally it will make it beneficial to run a defense and focus on defensive actions. The purpose is to make wars over something not just arbitrary isk amounts of losses.

This means Offence needs to bring their A game to each timer and win otherwise well then they loose the invested isk in the war. Why would the Defense fight for anything other than the last timer if there was no benefit to winning an earlier timer? As far as high sec goes though all assets can be redeemed at another station so loosing the citadel only costs the amount to replace it.

From my point of view this would generate a lot more of a fight from defense than we see now. (having plenty of experience as the defense myself)

As incentive the aggressors gain massive amounts of loot in the form of what drops form the citadels. (construction parts of the structure itself and they get to quite literally kick over the other guys sand castle.


On the cost comment, can you afford 150 million isk to war dec a 50 man corp? I can. I'm not special either. I work for my isk. between production, incursions and scanning I make more than enough to do that multiple times a week I'm asking because I can afford that by a lot. As for it producing larger and larger groups for war decs that is a quantity issue. those groups are looking at war deccing hundreds of groups at one time in order to do that you need income and cost sharing from more and more people I don't argue that that is the case. What I can say is maybe this means they have to add a little more tactics to picking a war dec than scanning local in a trade hub. Pick target rich groups with limited command structure and hit them. forces the professionals to view killboards check previous wars and etc prior to starting a war or risk a sum of money as a potential waste.

TLDR, the current Guess and Check method of War decs will go away. This honestly will be good for new players and retaining them long enough into the game to actually stand a chance against others. this will increase the amount of people out there and by volume increase the space carnage.

The theory is basically catch and release. let the young survive (though learn a lesson every now and then) and open season on the older ones. Insuring a population to harvest for years to come.

Side effect Concord can earn back a little of its stripped dignity for doing what its done for so cheap for so long....


just some thoughts I like your ideas though

New Player Focus

Spit balling some new ideas.

F12 Help Menu Tutorial videos Linked with in New player agent missions!

Have these videos play on the captains quarters all day.



Here is why I want to represent the new players. I recruit only new players. Not only do I have a finger on the pulse I know the questions they ask every time. Lets look at how a new player experiences the start of the game and address the learning cliff and get more new accounts to sub and player past the tutorial instead of getting confused and quit.
