CSM Campaigns

I haven't read the thread. If people are looking for sympathy votes in the CSM campaign, you'll make a terrible CSM. I have the utmost respect for those with disabilities, physical or psychological, but I don't think this is a place for it.

My CSM campaign focuses on improving the eve experience and bringing in new or old characters. Eve online is great. Hoorah for the game we love.

Mail me with any questions or concerns. Or heck, post em here. Have a wonderful day.

Well, after a night of hard station trading I'm quite tired.

I think a vote for me is a vote for a higher standard of intergrity in the csm community. Most are biased in one way or another, but I believe in impartiality as far as the subjects at hand. It's the voter's who own the right to choose. I've explained my platform to the satisfaction of some and probably the disgust of others.
Being quite experienced at most aspects of this game I think I would be a good voice for our community. 8 years of experience with ups and downs like a roller-coaster leave their mark.
In this we can make a compromise and find the best solution to bring OUR game back into a golden age that would nerf any other.
Let's forget about skins and new mechanics and look at what everyone wants, not what is imposed on us.

Choose wisely I say because this is a critical time to save Eve Online and make it an awe inspiring experience for everyone. lets turn 20 thousand players on average to 50 again!

A man of boundless energy, the go to man, another bum p for our man from hisec.

For those of you who haven't had to deal with 'sheet, here is what he is actually like.

A truly class act.

So don't be fooled by the veneer of civility.....it's all an act.

Hell, I would vote for Xenuria before I would vote for this guy.

And Xenuria deserves to be permabanned.

So, I thought an interesting topic today would be setting up a reaction of moon minerals in a series of pos's from my recollection and experience.
I used internet resources and about a couple dozen moon probes to find my system. I found 2 viable moons for extraction and reaction. It was 2 moons, a platinum moon and a chromium moon. I checked and there was a reaction for hexite, what a fun endeavour I thought.
Now I wanted to do this on-the-cheap because I knew the pos's could be vaporized at any time and fuel costs for the pos's were a part of the equation also. At the time...I think it was maybe 2010, the profit after costs was about 900 mill a month which was great for me as plex's were hovering around 300-400 mill, everything was substantially cheaper.
I had my fancy new crane and a sense of adventure. I knew this would take a few trips so I bought all the stuff including the old pos fuel elements for about a month. That's a medium pos of your choice, and a small pos for starters. I needed two moon extractors, 1 for each moon, 4 silos, a simple reactor and the hexite reaction blueprint or whatever it is.
Ok, so I anchored my pos's, got them running and anchored the moon extractors and linked them to the silos at each moon. The medium pos had just enough powergrid and cpu for my needs as far as the reaction. So my moon goo starts filling up in the silos...what a glorious thing, practically, completely passive isk generation.
Now I set the reactor up at the medium pos linked with the last 2 silos; one for the platinum I was collecting at the small pos and the other for the finished product, the hexite.
Once I had amassed enough of each material I started her up. It was a beautiful thing, I transported the platinum to the medium pos, put in the hexite reaction bp and it starts printing isk. I had it up for a few months before a large entity at the time asked me "nicely" to go away. I knew my moon harvesting time was over so I bought all hardeners and guns/utility defences and anchored them to both pos's and left with a message that ill go down fighting thanks very much. If not that, at least waste their time a little longer shooting down the pos's. I left the solo moon mining venture ahead of the game...minus 2 pos's. In the end it was a great experience. Trying to find any viable moons is a tough job however in today's eve.
That's why I think rarity 8 and 16 moon materials should be offered in high sec. It's a fun process to set up and it's isk made easy.
We need prices to go down, Eve is getting too expensive as far as in-game ships/items. This would contribute to helping lower prices which is good for everyone except the fat cats who profit from gouging the players.

Have a great day everyone, I hope this was enlightening to some. It was similar to the lead farmer's saga which follows me like a fictional/virtual ball and chain, but these guys just took their moons and didn't go on a crazy rampage making up slanderous stories and threatening me in real-life. Negatives aside, moon mining is great fun and as your CSM representative I will look into moon materials being offered in high sec for the benefit of newer or older players. I think it would set off a lot of competition and interest too.

Edit : This would also make high sec pos's/citadels an interest to more people. At the moment a high sec pos has limited use and apeal. Plus as many of us know, getting your state standing to 5 can takes quite a bit of grinding...

Explain the mechanics of 'can flipping' to the newer players of Eve. If set correctly it can counter freighter ganking for profit.

Thx Moe, didn't think you had a ganker nerf in you.

Mine your moon goo, react it with another. Then, start printing isk. Condensed, I would like to see rarity 8 and 16 moon goo in high sec. It would be one way to bring down prices.


As far as the can flipping days I remember one time a friend of mine named r' sin and myself left about 40 cans outside hek station. No one would touch them, as they knew we had a nice logistics configuration. If an organized force hit us we had problems, but for the most part our so-called Triangle of Pwn(3 guardians) kept us a feared duo in the heimetar region. The reason for the retribution patch still eludes me...nothing needed fixing. It encouraged multi boxing players to have multiple accounts also.
At the end of the day more account for ccp means more profit for their business to prosper, which I want also. Ccp, I believe this game is your bread and butter, don't scare away customers with "special interest" ideas. A modified roll back is necessary.

Have a great one folks. Fly safe.

Another bump for another member of the Commonwealth. Do you own a Vizsla and do you like black pudding?

If you are truly Magyar you would know what a Vizsla is, its the best gun dog in the world. Had one for 13 years, part of the family. My BMW x5 turbo diesel has gr8 acceleration and economical to drive, prob beat a 68 911. My son and I have blood sausage most week ends, good Scottish fare, he put his nose up first time until he tasted how good it was.

Good morning capsuleers on this February 9th 2016.

My topic today is ganking. I was convo'd by someone asking me whether I support ganking. I have always had a pod popping toon based in perimeter who ganks autopilot pods. It can be good fun and can really tick someone off. I did this even before implants were displayed on killmails, so you would have to judge it's worth by hate mail you received.
On the flip side, I've tried the tornado and hauler gank and scoop technique in Amarr. It can be very profitable and fun. I haven't had that much success but one time a hauler I popped gave me 1.3 billion in loot.
I've never taken part in a freighter gank but have watched many. People just need to haul less so you're not such a juicy target. I wouldn't want to say I am a pioneer of ganking, but Code definitely perfected the art.

I know also the sting of being ganked. Why, just this weekend I was writing on the forums and had one of my toons on the uedama gate in sivala. While writing I looked over to see my guardian in structure then pop. At least I got the pod out (mid grade slaves phew). I know there are 2 sides on this but I think ganking has become an integral part of eve and players must take precautions to avoid monetary loss.
