1. Lose the goon is dev image
2. Continue improving core eve
3. Make core eve more awesome

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

If i was in charge (and that day is coming Twisted) i would:

1. Improve the UI including ship controls, camera settings & customization
2. Add/change ships - T3 industrial, T2 tier 3 battleships (e.g. Hyperion), buff black ops, T2 tier 2 battle cruisers (e.g. drake)
3. Implement avatar game play that is fun, interesting and in-keeping with the general theme of eve.

1, Institute the following policies:
1(a); If information is obfuscated for performance reasons a relatively convenient method must be included to allow access that information on demand and reasons should be provided to the community as to why that information had to be moved (as opposed to putting a joke into the Patch notes and completely ignoring the multipage threads on the forums asking why).
1(b); No information available to the players should require 3rd Party involvement. Everything which is available through API...etc must also be available in game.
1(c); Just because hard drives are bigger there is no excuse for bloatware.
1(d); That Jacob Holland chap is worth listenning to, give special attention to the fellow's posts.

2, Address ship skins for existing vessels I consider “broken” including:
2(a); Reinstate the glossy black scheme with blue lights of the Navy Megathron. Propagate the scheme across the Gallente Navy range.
2(b); Reinstate proper gold on Amarr ships, also reinstating a proper red on Carthum ships…etc.
2(c); Reinstate the Fleet ‘pest’s square LADAR arrays (aka Top Wingy bits), the Vagabond’s ears…etc.
2(d); Tail back on “Space Camo” including creating a library of design styles appropriate to each faction and NPC corporation to ensure that the future proliferation of “Space Camo” is limited.

3, Address all those annoying bits where the game runs counter to lore due to previous balancing, insufficient resources available at the time...etc. (Including but not limited to - NEx clothing which actually looks like it might conform to Gallente fashions (and I'll have the Intaki Male's long hair back while we're at it), three strips on skiffs (rather than a ham fisted "special way of fitting one which makes it three times as effective)...etc

1. Impliment everything in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNqEdCpdbWE I.e. UI

2. Balance issues with existing ships

3. Fix super cap propagation Why stop at quadruple, I would increase super cap build materials 10 fold. Or Increase build time to 1 year.

1. Captial Mining barge that enters a 3 min "mining siege" where it cant move only usable in lowsec/nullsec
2. Get rid of belts - all content now in anomalies and sigs and every system has loads of them Probers Rejoice \o/
3. Local chat as normal in highsec, delayed in lowsec after you jump in until you first move your ship or after a minute, removed in sov nullsec unless you pay for an upgrade to either lowsec or highsec abilities for continous isky sink. NPC Null same as lowsec.

And yes, I want to get a capital mining barge killmail, like hell ill ever fly one lol

1) Slow down travel in EvE
2) Modular POS's and small holding in deep safes
3) Ability for players to set build and lock down their own gate networks, charge people for their use, hack them

Somewhere around spot 30, after UI, I'd probably place things like POS, sov, and corp iterations.



you do realise that we players call it UI while the GM's insist on calling it Uni. Inv.

For me it would be.

1. Uni Inv.
2. CCP guide on how they actually want us to use the Uni. Inv.
3. Uni. Inv.


I believe Tippia is referring to the User Interface, which is actually what UI stands for, hence the need to call Unified Inventory something different.



Unified lag factory : that's an awesome name for it !!

1 make local randomly switch between delayed and non-delayed in w-space just to **** with the whiners always wanting to remove local from the rest of the game
2 speed up ship rebalance
3 NEW POS SYSTEM NOAW!!

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

1. Accelerate ship balancing
2. Chart out a plan for industry and mining overhaul, so feedback can be gathered while resources are still tied up with POS stuff.
3. Game immersion review (Smooth out game mechanic references in NPE, better mission integration, etc).

But I'm not CCP Soundwave, so what do I know?

1) A new Minmatar-Caldari pirate faction with ships
2) Continue RP live events and set up an ad hoc department to organise that
3) Faction battlecruisers

Maybe skip a big expansion and fix/improve things like the UI (my personal preferance) and some of the 'broken stuff' that really annoys folk.

This is not a signature.

Hi. If you were a manager in CCP you wouldn't be responsible for any of this. Your top 3 would probably be:

1. Carry out performance reviews of your department
2. Have regular one to one meetings with those in your department
3. Organise a fun team building activity for your department

You might want to rephrase to "If you became Senior Producer, what 3 things would you set as your priorities"


I would go one step further and make sure expectations within the eve community match up with what can be produced, of course directly related to release schedules.

I would not only organize fun team building activities, i would make sure there would be fun events in eve......team building......giving face to unthought aspects of eve game play.....or rarely seen.

Make a nice capturing package and easy sharing option, sound and video....
Giving "us" the tools to capture for example a speedway race event people might want to organize (cough)...or.......create musically choreographed light shows in a Krumpin kind of way.....for teams to take part in (pretty sure in the future, we will want to be entertained aswell.......a show like this could tell a story or be alligned real tight between music and light where you strongly represent your alliance..........out of this world idea right?

Highlight a play style.....like...say....underground movement.......small cells independently sabotaging large alliance war efforts.......by which small/new corporations can get there first taste of other sec space than HS. (learn covert ops, planning operations, travel through "danger" area's, you know.......and heaven forbid, they might want to settle as alliance them selves in other parts of New Eden than HS....maybe even...i dont know....getting nul-sec populated with 10 times the number of smaller alliances instead of 2 big ones and the rest is allowed...to RENT space....)

You know......close the gap between player base and development or better....close the gap between new player expectations, and the advertised emerging gameplay.....don't hand out the fish.....but keep handing out rods at strategic points in the game a new player will pass by....


Also....create rules for forums, so people have a chance to speak up.....or speak there mind....no matter age of character....or whether english is native to a person and flawlessly spoken.
The forum rule set should be different from in game.......on the forum....you would expect intelligent conversations.......given the "elite" playerbase...or "elite" status EvE has.....For people outside off EvE.......they look up to EvE, thinking these are all intelligent gamers....yet once they seen the forum..........they rather not play at all.....I had this so many times, envited some of my more serious college's, with them thinking to finally find a grown up game with grown up people......please look at your main forum.....what would you think as outsider?.....Given acceptions......a bunch of 12 year old entitled by spacepixels and alliance size, right?

You see, you need to get to know EvE first before understanding why people act the way they do.
All the propaganda and troll stuff should be done on alliance/corp owned websites......not your main forum.
Your main forum serves a different function.....it should be the place where all arshattery is put aside and more people should want to speak up......and not in the least....show outsiders/new players....the level of depth EvE has or can have, if you choose to......the forum should be an extension of your advertisement

Do not get me wrong, i am hooked, love the game.....It would be great though if more new players would stay......have a carrot on a stick to continue.....

ah well....this medium is not for exchanging ideas in its full glory.....but you get the picture.

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

On-Topic though:

1. Add more shiny things
2. Add more ways to get shiny things
3. Add more ways to blow up shiny things

1. UI, Drone controls first but the majority needs an overhaul. Extreme amounts of space are simply wasted by inefficient designs.
2. Lowsec, it needs to be a place where you can fly solo or small ganged in a cruiser sized ship, and still make solid amounts of money.
3. Armor tanking, it really should be changed in to midslot modules. Or something.

4. Drone Damage Amps, add some faction ones because the current ones are even weaker then standard T2 BCU's (by a large margin)

So you're telling me that the work done by a project manager in CCP is the same work that project managers do in every other company?!
