Hello Gang!

The second CSM Summit is being held the last week in January and I will be attending. Since our last Town Hall we haven't seen most of our request and brainstorming be implemented, but don't let that discourage you from coming and speaking at this Town Hall. To be fair to CCP, most of everything that was coming out in the massive Accession release was already deep into development and set in stone.

So for this summit I want to focus on how the Accession release has affected wormhole space and most importantly what we want CCP to prioritized for us in the future.

Format: Town Hall Style - Who ever has the TS details is welcome to come. Last time we didnt have any issues with people taking turns speaking. Let's please have a smooth meeting again!

Date: Saturday Jan 21st 19:00 Eve time

Time Frame: 19:00-21:00 Eve Time. 2 hours seemed like a perfect amount of time last Town hall. I'll keep the pace of the meeting going and stay on topic.

Topics (subject to change):

• Quick recap of the first Summit - Take a look at my notes
• Ascension - How has it effected W-space?
• Scanning - Reddit Feedback, Eve-O Feeedback Request
• PvE - Site spawn rate/lifetime, Low Class, High Class
• PvP - Force Auxillary still too OP for whs?
• Citadels - Missing Features/Requests, Bugs

Location: Hard Knocks Inc TS, http://www.teamspeak.com/invite/ts.hardknocksinc.net/?password=CSM
(Server = ts.hardknocksinc.net password = CSM)

So this is your 2 week heads up! Feel free to prepare something in advance and have it ready to present. If you want to send me anything to check out before the meeting you can Evemail me or send me a real email at noobman@csm.eve.com

Other CSM are invited. and I will see you there. Like last time trolls, disruptive or negative people will be quickly dealt with. ;)

thx for doing this again

Wormhole is not dead ! Thanks for this meeting !

looking for real time translater, russian <> english.

I took a look at your last notes - the points are well reasoned out with facts to back them up. Thanks so much for the time and effort you've put into representing us :-)


The one quibble I have is with this point for Citadels:
"Opt in for director level for access to assets in citadels. Like HS FF opt in."

I think CCP should leave asset ownership as it stands now.

Otherwise, almost every significant WH corp will make "opt in" a mandatory requirement for all members. Opt in or GTFO.

The pressure to opt in - be a "team player!", accept our "culture!" - would be immense. In WH space line members have little influence and say in the tribe. Potential new players coming into j-space may reduce in numbers as we'll be back to POS-style asset insecurity, a game feature many people intensely disliked about j-space.

Most of the stuff on your list seems good. Except making probing easier, which is just a lazy position since it's already super simple.
Please instead focus on making the new probe map remotely usable, cos it currently isnt even close to as good as the old map.

Hi There,

I've read your notes and a lot of what is there is really not that high priority or even justified imho. I wont go into details but I'd rather CCP didn;t waste time on these when there are bigger fish to fry.

Here's the 3 biggest problems in W-Space as I see it:

1). We need the IGB back. Wormhole mapping tools are such as Vippy that were such a pleasure to use are now a pain in the backside. You have to add fleets, and even then, wait a millennium for the map to update with player locations. This is probably the single biggest step back on day to day game play I've experienced in wormholes. Let's get the IGB back even if it is just for wormhole mapping! URGH!!!! Do CCP realise how big a deal this is? I doubt it.

2). What is this stupid ship change session timer that's come in? We're now forever spamming ship changes in citadels to get into our frickin ships. Is this fun? Do we want to sit staring at spinning wheels all the time? No - let's get rid of it. We didn't need it before, so why have it now!?

3). Citadels need balancing. Right now they are too powerful. Any noob corp seems able to buy an Astrahus or Fortizar that needs a 20-30 man fleet to take it on. There are perhaps only 10 entities in w-space that can do this currently without major planning or multi-group collaboration? This is way overpowered. Even on an Astrahus any 5 ships are perma-jammed/neuted, and your entire fleet is neuted with void bombs. I'd nerf void bombs massively! RIght now we have sandcastles that can't be toppled unless by a giant. The over powered EWAR is the problem.

Regarding this, the features that the IGB provided can be replicated through CREST and ESI. Just needs a bit of work to code them this way. You could also give manual mapping a go like some others do, it really isn't too bad.

daily reminder WH space isn't the only place that uses citadels

Tripwire updates player location via CREST faster than the IGB did without. Location is usually updated before the player is fully loaded into system.

Use a better tool, or get on your developer to code better.
