Jita Park Speakers Corner

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my question and for taking it in the manner it was intended, your blog definitely clears things up, I was aware that AHARM had made some attempt to tell CCP but worded it in such a way that they didn't directly imply it was an exploit, yourself having admitted that the way CCP was informed by AHARM could have been done alot more clearly, and being your absence from the game I am comfortable in considering you a legitimate candidate I may vote for, now to get around to reading some more about what your aims as a CSM representatives are before I make my final decision, and maybe one day will meet you in W-Space, as TBH I love this place, I've not enjoyed eve anywhere near as much in K-Space.

No problem, like I said, I am trying to be as completely open and honest about the whole situation as possible. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I feel exactly the same about w-space as you do, which is why I don't want CCP to mess things up... :)

Also smaller RF timers. does not seem fair that a small holding pos has 1d17h timer

small 12h med 24h large the usuall

How would you feel about increasing the amount of w-space systems and make the sleepers more temperment (randomly warping off/on, sieging a pos, actually neuting triage carriers/logi and dogpiling one ship)

First, I would give my support.
there must be a WH dweller on the CSM7, not just the current blob of Null Sec people.

Wh players need some one to step in and stop the craziness that has been proposed, such as WH stabilization module,

having some in game changes, such as real time sharing of scanning results (and scan results not going poof after every session change) between corp members would be great.

good luck.

That was a very nice interview. You sound decent.

About ABC's - wormholes are always dangerous, no matter what class wormhole you're in. The difference between C1 and C6 is the size of the group that lives there. Over-all though, ABC isn't worth enough to be made rare. Mining ABC is still lousy income and there's no reason to remove it from low class wormhole.

Using your argument about Ice; having miners in low class wormhole gives us targets to kill. If there weren't any ABC, people probably wouldn't bother.

Kind of silly and horribly risky to mine in even C1 wormholes, seeing how there isn't the early warning system of Local handy.

I don't disagree. I think mining in Gravimetric sites is safer than doing anomalies since you get a chance to see the probes on d scan.
Mining for me is personally a waste of time, however, there's a few people in my corp that had already trained mining skills to fly hulk and sometimes they like to lay back and do some mining. From my calculation, the best income you can get from mining Arkanor is around 40mil/hour - it's much lower than the 80mil/hour I get soloing C2 sites.

However, removing ABC would reduce the profitability to Highsec level, but with wormhole danger.
So please keep ABC in C1-2-3-4-5-6 and add a wormhole specific refinery that is affected by refining skills so that we don't have to haul the stuff back to K-space to refine it :/

Thanks for your support!

I'm not sure how that solves anything in this case. Incursion rats don't pay bounties, you get rewarded for finishing a site.

I do agree with more randomness, PVE is far too easy in EVE.

To summarize:

I disagree with just adding a random factor to encounters and missions to add difficulty considering that if you ignore the existence of such sites as Eve-Survival, said encounters are already horrendously difficult with high damage and the potential of way too many nasty red things showing up to shoot that newb cluelessly shooting pirates or sleepers.

Randomness would be nice so that someone can't just turn to a guide to tell him what to do, and more importantly doesn't need to let someone else essentially do the mission for him. But just making things more difficult doesn't make it more interesting.

I would like to propose that k-space encounters have aggro mechanics added to them (You'd think that the pirates would, by now, have learned that maybe they should stop shooting that impossible to kill but barely damaging droneboat, and instead target the drones).

I would also propose that instead of having set triggers, that every so often a random NPC ship would stop and begin transmitting a distress signal. If the player doesn't blow it up in time, they get a few more reds added to the list.

Finally, I would like to propose that Sleepers be able to adapt to the situation. As in if a non-engaged Sleeper comes to the conclusion that it and its buddies brought the wrong tools to this fight, it shuts down momentarily, the ship itself gets visually altered to provide more attentive a hint that it wasn't quite the same drone it was before, and then resumes fighting with an altered weapons setup.
