Jita Park Speakers Corner

Mittani. EVE is currently divided into large powerblocks that result in heavy fights in 0.0 with over 1200+ in local on a regular basis, infact the powerblocks have only grown in size since my entry into the game. How do you feel about this development and if opposed; what is your vision or plan to fix it?

GoonSwarm is a pretty large EVE Alliance and I think it's pretty safe to say that you will get elected into the CSM. But can you honestly say that you represent EVE's best interest and not GoonSwarm's best interest? In other words, are you willing to go against tactics that are heavily favoured by GoonSwarm in combat for example? (Any examples of your actions in the past year to this point would be very appreciated)

Tech 2 BPOs are widely discussed and are in themselves a controversial subject. I recently sold mine off because I don't have the time to keep up a huge production line going anymore. But what are your thoughts on these? Do you want them removed? Is it realistic to remove them given how much isk they are selling for at this current time? How do you see their role at the moment?

This thread is incredibly long and I don't have the stamina to look through ALL of your posts. But if you could change three things in EVE right now, what would it be?

Thanks for your time!

I don't think it's an unreasonable question to ask since he is pretty much guarenteed election. He only has to satisfy GoonSwarm to get re-elected again next year. It's a simple question.

Statistically speaking, more than 60% of votes cast for Mittens last election weren't from people within GoonSwarm.
Now, the votes back then were "officially" split between Mittens and Vile Rat, but apparently this season Mittens is the only one getting officially backed by GoonSwarm & co.

According to many, a lot of the votes were from people who expected shenanigans if Mittens got chair; they were prooved wrong, as Mittens has in all likelyhood been one of the -- if not the -- most effective CSM chair to date.

This season however, Mittens probably won't have the votes of these :lolCSM: people (there were many); and it would be wise to focus his entire alliance to back him.

If Mittens received 1700 votes last election, we can expect over 3000 this season; and a few wouldn't put it past him acheiving over 6000 votes total. Especially since a lot of goon votes last year were siphoned off by Goon candidates who weren't officially backed.

GoonSwarm's best interest is EVE's best interest

I think it's great that devs like Veritas and Masterplan have optimized the client and the lag situation to the point that we can once again have 1000+ person battles. They make EVE epic, and distinguish it from WoW, or any other MMO on the market. 30-man slapfights happen daily, but when you have a 2000-man battle, people remember those fights for years. We're still talking about F-T, five years later.



Sorry for not fitting into your preconceived notion: I'm a vehement advocate of rebalancing Technetium moons, depsite being one of the largest Tech-holders in the game. GSF makes stupid amounts of isk from Tech, and I'm trying to have that nerfed.



T2 BPOs come up every election cycle. They're dumb. They've always been dumb. I'd like to see invention buffed to render T2 BPOs essentially meaningless. It's not realistic from a business perspective to have them removed, but invention buffs can make them increasingly less relevant.

The T2 BPO lottery was introduced by our dear friend T20. It was a terrible system. T2 BPOs themselves are stupid. The people who smugly bleat about how they're great, and inevitably come calling to my threads when I say T2 BPOs are dumb, are entitled old-guard apologists who deserve only scorn and condescension.



*Dead Horse/Modular Pos implementation
*Risk/Reward Balance in Null (Farms and Fields, Tech fix, making sov meaningful)
*Further Iterative Ship Balance: there's still a shitpile of spaceships that are essentially useless in this game about spaceships.

What are your intentions for wardec mechanics? Do you intend to finally get CCP to make what I do impossible?

This would be an amusing turn up for those CSM7 candidates running on the 'I will fix wardecs' platform.

That would mean Kelduum just lost 90% of his plattform

but, you said in the other thread (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=793762#post793762) that I don't have a platform...

Agreed about the wardec mechanics - I'm hoping for a big revamp/fix with the summer expansion.

And I know what the problem is with the BBCode parsing - it doesn't like URL parameters inside markup, which is probably some massively over the top security checking, but breaks pretty much every modern site.

Real or otherwise threatening people is not looked upon well, please refrain from it.

Thank you,
