CSM Campaigns

Hey there folks. I'd like to officially announce running for CSM XII. I'm an industrialist at heart, and have experience in both Nullsec and Highsec. Currently a director in 0.0 Massive Dynamics in TEST Alliance.

I have played EVE for just under 2 years. I started in Highsec, but soon found my calling in Nullsec. First out in Tenerifis/Immensia, then out in Drone space renting with a small group of like minded folks. From there I ended up with 0.0 Massive Dynamics in Fountain, being evicted there we moved to Vale of the Silent with TEST. And now we are headed south. I run multiple toons, almost entirely focused on mining, building, and PI.

I ran last year for CSM XI, on an industry platform. I'm doing the same this year. Industry, particularly mining is currently in a good place, though it could use some tweaks in a couple areas. However, my primary focus this year is going to be on Planetary Interaction, with a secondary of an additional types of battleships and/or battlecruisers.

Planetary interaction, well its a click fest. I feel like it could definitely be better. The ability to save "setups" would be amazing, or to route multiple factories at once. Additionally the planets could use a balance pass, so many planets are crap and then so many are great, lets try to balance it out a bit. The UI could definitely use some improvement as well. All in all, honestly the entire PI system could use an overhaul, its needed and has been needed for some time now.

Now as far as a new type of battleship, I'm thinking a T3 battleship. In the last year we have seen a huge number of frigates added, along with t3d's. but yet nothing above that for subcaps. Battleships and battlecruisers have the fewest choices available. Why not add to that? A multirole Tech 3 battleship could be amazing, perhaps you want a logistics battleship, or perhaps a battleship with extreme long range (200k) but sacrificing tank, or even a brick, 300k EHP but sacrificing damage. Or perhaps add another choice to miners, with a mining subsystem. and yes I know that we have the porpoise and orca for battlecruiser/battleship equivalent, but those are still primarily boosters with the ability to mine, that is still less then that of an exhumer. But perhaps a mining battleship-sized ship that does 10-15% higher yield then a Hulk. Who knows, honestly its a idea in progress. But I do believe that battle cruisers and battleships could use a little fleshing out on the tech tree.

At the end of the day, Im not looking to only look out for the interests of any particular "sec" status group, I want to represent industrialists all over space, from HS, LS, NS, and WH. After all, we are all doing the same activities, the only difference is where and with whom.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to have your vote when the time comes.

Hi! :)

A question for you: How would you react if, when talking with CCP, they tell you they don't have the developer resource available to do any work on PI, at the moment? (I'm not saying this is the case, but it's the kind of thing which happens.)

At that point, perhaps asking if any of what they are working on can coincide with working on PI. Ill be honest, I don't code, nor know how to, but I can only imagine that there are things, even if little and non time consuming, that could be done at the same time with little to no loss in productivity on the primary project.

Hello,

My question - what is your viewpoint regarding Faction standings and as a CSM member, what changes will you propose to CCP pertaining to game mechanics for Faction standings ?

Good luck to you in the upcoming CSM election.
