Jita Park Speakers Corner

R&K vids are an eduction, your enabling style is practical and your holistic approach is probably appropriate - but -
unless you select a cause to champion, how do you expect to rally new support?

I want to throw my vote your way, but I'm just not compelled to.

+1

It's probably time for you to take a break from the whole CSM thing. Your 3+ years in the counsel really didn't accomplish anything of note and your entire platform has been "I've been here forever, vote for me (again)".

I say you haven't accomplished much of note because from CSM 2 through 5, about the only thing of note that got accomplished was skill queues. You completely screwed up jump bridges by advocating for something you had no knowledge or experience with. Luckily for nullsec alliances CCP added their own flavor of stupid and mistakenly sort of made them easier to manage.

In CSM 6 you spent your time berating all of the candidates except for Mittani, because you knew you didn't have the political tact to make an opponent of him and acted like a French jackass otherwise. Most of the major accomplishments would have occurred without your voice, certainly without your input since none of the ideas were specifically yours and I honestly can't find a reason that people should continue to vote for a lame duck incumbent when there are exciting prospects like Hans who can bring some fresh perspective to the table.

You have all my votes as always m8,

Rooks and Kings!

The current system of POS research labs managemnet is flawed.

You ether have full access or you don't, the pos' have a public option but it doesn't work. How would you improve the R&D at pos' if you were eleted to CSM 7.

You can count on my vote dude!

Definitely the best candidate and the most helpful person I know in EvE universe.

Oh and he's also belgian, what indicates that he has Beer Appreciation skill lvl V

Oh, I do believe the value should end up being reduced, the question is how much, and how. There are several alternatives to that problem. Bring in those T2 moon mining mods, add more alchemy options, tweak the T2 blueprints (not a big fan of this option), add more sources of minerals (comets were once mentionned) or totally revamp the moon mining mechanics.

One of the ways I would prefer would be to make moons function a bit like PI without the clicking every single minute. Members install extractors on moons, moons get mined, corp can set a tax whereby anything members collect something, the corp takes a part of (or all of it if they so choose). This idea has several drawbacks, but the major advantage is that member revenue leads to corp revenue, and it's easier to tweak than the binary way in which moonmining currently happens.




Super capitals have been nerfed somewhat reasonably. I would have preferred a change of role rather than a change of stats, but their efficiency has been a bit decreased. This combined with the logoffski fixes I had been requesting combine into a situation where supers die. Yet they don't die enough. It takes a bit of time to see the impact of changes that have been made so at this stage I wouldn't change the supers for a bit.

A change that I would like to see as far as capitals are concerned is a titan tracking nerf, and I'm still waiting to get the full picture on dreadnought usage after the changes, this may require more adjustent as well.

Ik bekrijp Nederlands, maar ik kan niet goed spreken. Het zou belledigend zijn om iets anders te impliceren. Dat is de reden dat ik heb het niet gezeged. ;-)

And thank you, much appreciated.


I was actually talking about this very topic with a developper last week. We were exchanging notes on invention and manufacture tools and I was mentioning to him this proposal I had made to fix part of the lab/manufacture tools at a POS (darn bbcode won't parse, it's here: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Manufacturing_and_Invention_at_POSes_(CSM) ). The jist of it is first to implement resource pooling so one doesn't have to do micromanagement of multiple labs/Equipment assembly arrays (and other AAs) which can grow very very tedious when you are semi-serious with industry, and makes you scream at the skies and want to kick someone hard if you're serious about it.

The public option and renting don't work, when we were discussing this in CSM 3 it became painfully obvious that for this to work it would take some major code refactoring with POSes, and that's not something devs look forward to (it's very tricky and time consuming). So the way I'd deal with it is by not dealing with it. Now that resources exist again, CSM 6 has been pushing for "new and improved" POSes (the dead horse proposals) and I'd push for those modular POSes instead, the kind that takes the needs we have always expressed into consideration. This, I believe, would be a better way to spend resources than adding public/renting options.


In order to change the bumping, people would have to cyno in at larger distances from the cyno. At least capitals. incresaing the jump in radius for caps by 50% (to 6 instead of 4km) would increase the "no-bumpage" cyno capacity by 1.5³ = 3.375. Which would be a good step. Increasing the distance more than that would start creating issues as far as distance between ships is concerned (some ships fit cap modules than are unbonused as far as distance factor is concerned, and could easily find themselves unable to effect adequately their peers). Other than that maybe multiple cynos are not a bad fact of life, they create redundancy and eliminate the single point of failure.

As far as improvements are concerned, the first thing would be a limitation of titan damaging capabilities on non-capital ships (how is the tricky bit, and I'm not sure which of the available options is the best). After that I'd steer clear from supercapitals with combat capabilities. To be honest, I'm still watching the impact of the changes to dreads and supercarriers, and when it comes to rebalancing/additions/improvements, I think it's more time to look at the other end of the spectrum first (AFs have been handled, EAFs & T1 cruisers still need to be looked at).

You have all my votes as always.
Keep up the good work

What is your personal stance regarding the massive amount of ISK readily available in EVE?
I am not talking about additional means of making money, but the huge possible income being generated in certain environments.
