Err... uhh... Vote for NCC

1. I get the impression you are an FC. What type of fleets do you like to take out?
I can FC, but smaller groups. I prefer alpha boats, or rlml swarms at present. I much prefer to sit and wait for roams to come to me than go out looking for fights (you surprisingly get more fights some days :) )

2. Your alliance currently lives in Malpais. Do you do a lot of mining and industry?
Yes, Fusion has had a strong industrial past, but we have decent level of pvper to protect our industry. we used to do a lot of mining, but the rorqual changes have polarised many miners into its either rorqual or nothing, and with the speed wh gangs are rolling wh while hunting for rorquals, it has put a lot of miners off even bothering to undock.

3. You would like CCP to address moon goo. Is that from personal experience moon mining and/or running reaction farms, or due to something else?
In the past our corp has had money moons, at the peak, 11 tech moons when tech was 220k pu.... the problem with goo moons is, either you get them handed to you, or its not isk worth trying to take them from others. The usual fight over a goo tower will cost 20b+ in order to take the moon, which is multiple months roi, making it kinda pointless attacking it in the first place. if you have the towers, odds are, your not going to lose the income from them.
I would like to see goo moved off of moons, and moved to anomalies that spawn like data sites/ gas sites. in order to keep the present levels, you would need to have 2 or 3 sites per moon of goo spawn, with 3 or 4 days worth of goo to harvest. also having a site spawn elsewhere once one is deleted would remove the dowmtime rush. gas mining would make it more accessible to everyone. it would also help move some miners from ore to goo hunting, and it would encourage full use of all systems in regions with people looking for the goo sites.

4. What are the things about citadels that you would like to see changed?
Main thing would be the anchoring 'exploit' people are using at present inorder to get 21 days invul after first anchoring it.
second thing would be the ability to have an overview when viewing outside... if you presently stick your head out of some structures, you really cannot see anything smaller than a capital.

5. Living in Malpais you are surrounded by the Brothers of Tangra, a rental alliance. What are your thoughts on rental empires?
Rental empires are both good and bad.
they give the opportunity for small industrial/pve corps to try out null without joining a big bloc
downside is they fund the big alliances to get bigger, making it harder for new people to the scene to take space.

Language support, well that's in ccp's best interest to arrange for as many languages as possible. but unlike most other games, eve contains thousands of words, a large selection of which are not easily translatable to multiple languages.
What i would like to see integrated into the in-game chat's would be the option to translate a section of a chat window by highlighting and right click.

Ship sizes have been off for many years. the most obvious example of this is the macherial. I believe it is still in the original size scale of most ships before their re-render size reduction.

it would be nice to see them all re-sized relative to their 'list size', which would cause most ships to be reduced in size rather than increased.

bumping, that's a different kettle of fish.
the mass ratio of capitals relative to their size is too low.
if a capital has speed, it should shrug off a bump from a lower mass ship with ease, but due to the squiffy mass equations used, the capital ships tend to react to the bump when the bump should be a smear on the windscreen.
while it would be nice to see some effort put into fixing this, i dont see it making much difference to bumping within eve its self. if it requires more people to bumps, them more people will be used.
If collision damage is added, then the odds are it would be abused in some unforseen way. but i would still like to see collision mechanics fixed

Broad indeed, theres too many different types of pvp in eve to answer that easily.

you have the 'pvper' who goes out looking for easy gank's(hulks) then spams the crap out of local when you fight back / camp him in

you have the pvper's that will come and wait while you form up a fleet to fight them, which is the gf type of fights i like.

you have the N+1 type of fighting, which usually take hours of soul crushing lag to get through.

you have the were leet pvper's who spend 2b per ship and cannot be countered without a blob

and finally you have the brute force supercaps are us group.


yes theres also station games , highsec wars, lowsec brawls, logoff traps, npsi fleets, gatecamps, stream roams, blops, wh's and troll fleets.

so if you can be a little more specific, i will try to answer, but it will all come down to trying to maintain the balance between all types of combat without making one particular ship (svipul, orthrus) the only ship to use

Faction standings for me are pretty much a moot point.
I have +9.3 with Amarr empire, 9.1 with Ammatar, 7.4 with Caldari State, yet they dont provide me with any benefits
You dont even need good standings to deploy citadels anymore.

The size of the population the negative standings actually affect, could probably be counted on your hands

if you live in lowsec, nullsec, or wh space, they have no affect on you.

Since i am a nullsec person, suggesting fix's for them is not something i should be doing.

Glad to see you running for the position. It would really be a great asset to the CSM to have somebody with your knowledge and understanding of the game on board.

You have perfect knowledge of how smaller groups can operate and survive within nullsec, thats both isk-wise, politics and long-term.

I've experienced this first hand, and can only hope you succed!

Fly safe!

I also want Supercap spinning in keepstars!

and bigger kill marks for all ships... you know, so you can actually see them....
