Jita Park Speakers Corner

TLDR - Click HERE at 1800 Sat!

Now that the CSM Summer Meeting Minutes have been published, it's time for our next community Town Hall meeting. This is an opportunity for the community to hear from the CSM directly. With summer over and CCP heading into release planning for the winter expansion, the CSM will be looking to do these Town Hall meetings with more frequency, each one with an overall ‘theme’. This meeting will, of course, focus primarily on the recently released Summit minutes. Obviously there is a lot of ground to cover but we will try to do the best we can.

Once again, in order to ensure there is minimal technical problems and to prevent people from having to install / configure a third party client, we will be holding the Town Hall meeting live on EVE Radio.

BTW, if you are looking for a shorter version of the minutes, feel free to check this out:

Important Information

EVE Radio has set up a dedicated stream for this and all future meetings. All you have to do is go here:

EVE Radio CSM Town Hall

For this first meeting, we will be starting out by answering questions submitted in this and the other thread posted in General Discussion. If you are shy, please eve mail your questions to both Two step and Hans Jagerblitzen.

Please try to keep your questions clear and concise. If you are asking about a specific section or quote from the Summit Minutes, please reference it so both we and the other listeners can follow along and understand.

If we run out of questions we will also be monitoring the in game ‘EVE Radio’ channel and be following Twitter at #csmtownhall.

The official running time of the meeting will be two hours but a few of us may hang out longer than that to sing songs or tell stories about devs getting lost at 0300 in the morning.

Please tune in and enjoy!

I demand questions!

Hans isn't very smart, so I can see how jumping a carrier might confuse him. If you give him a ship, you might want to make sure it only has a few active modules, because he will have trouble figuring it out otherwise.

When Soundwave was complaining about anom ratting being a large source of isk injection into the game in the CSM minutes, was the implied subtext that he thinks either l4 mission ratting or hisec incursion running should be the best isk source in EVE-Online? Which highsec activity do you CSM representatives think Soundwave thinks the EVE economy should be based around?

Yo, duders, read the OP and get your questions to CSM in the right way!

A big picture question, if you will:

Development of the last two expansions has seemed very compartmentalised - one small team works on Feature X, another small team works on unrelated Feature Y, etc. There seems to be little or no joined-up developing where everyone is working on linked aspects of the same feature as we saw in Apocrypha (or, more controversially, in Incarna).

1) Do you think this approach is what we can expect for the foreseeable future?

2) Do you think there can be any progress on tackling the big issues in Eve as long as development is being conducted on those lines? How much can be done to fix the major long-standing problems we all know are fundamentally broken by a single team of 4 or 5 developers working in isolation for a single development cycle? Do you worry that we are seeing a trend towards applying hurried band-aid solutions and moving on, rather than spending the time to fix the issue properly the first time?

I presume the CSM and the radio-crew keep tabs on it, but for the people on the forum it may be worth noting that another copy of this thread is crossposted here:

where you can read more questions from other players.

Yo!

Question: "Whatss the CSM's position making Moon Minerals depletable as a quick fix for several (NullSec) Problems? So that when one moon is depleted the same ressource respawns at an prior empty one."

Why ? This would actually kinda bring a Spin in the Tech-Problem and bring up some some new War-Drivers to NullSec entities aswell as may split up existing Pacts . It would benefit the "dump" of Supers/Titans cause u actually got a good reason again to use them, and again it would sink the "Nullsec ISK" cause well, when a moon is empty u cant print Money.
Also note-able it would make Scanning moons useful again ( @CCP - why did you made us scan them at all in the first place if noone ever need to do it again?). Cause right now, noone scans them. There are Maps/databases that track each moon that got a mineral in it. Don't forget that it would bring more interest to Lowsec aswell cause 0.3 moons have minerals too!

so far

What measures is the CSM looking into to try to get a larger percentage of the EvE populous involved in the CSM Voting process and to get the player base to understand why we have a CSM?

Question 1: Whilst entering warp one notices that it can take a considerable amount of time to accelerate to full warp speed and decelerate from full warp speed. This causes the problem that most of the time taken to warp is taken in the acceleration and deceleration more so than the actual warp speed of a ship. This creates a disadvantage for faster warping ships as it makes their faster warp speed far less relevant as well as warp speed rigs. What measures, that you know of, has CCP taken on this issue if any? Does the CSM overall think it's an issue? If so, does the CSM overall plan to push the issue with CCP in the future?

Question 2: It has been said that CCP no longer wishes to pursue "Jesus Features". What is the CSM's stance on this? If you were to have your own "Jesus Feature" what would it/they be (individual CSM members can answer)?

Question 3:Blobs are seen as being negative by the overall EVE community, what is the CSM's take on the issue? If the CSM does have an issue with blobs, what should be done about it? Does the CSM think there should be more remote A.O.E like the remote ECM burst and bombers? If so, what additional modules would you suggest that use this method?
