Jita Park Speakers Corner

Moving this from Assembly Hall to Jita Park Speakers Corner.

You might be lucky and someone might bring it up.

But as there is no Mission running representative on the CSM per say so they may not.

Best bet tell all your corp and friends to vote for a high sec representative in the next election, they that way you are covered for this. Otherwise it will just remain a Null sec lobby group with a couple of rouge members that get things done for the rest of EvE.

According to an article I read he apparently talks within E-Uni a lot, but as to his views on anything I have no idea, rarely heard a peep out of him here. Well actually there are a few that fit into that category, talk else where but not here.

So there views are obviously not for the general EvE populous

Being that none of the reps campaigned on mission running, Hit them all up and post the results here.

You could just... you know. Ask?


That and the fact that a fairly large proportion of Null players have HiSec mission alts, not that they would admit it in public.

That wasn't the CSM Summit, it was the "Pre-Summit Town Hall" - the summit is Wednesday through Friday, and most of the CSM is currently on their way there right now.




Where do you hear these things? What "loophole" in the AI? They changed the previous (mess that could hardly be called) AI to use a variant of the Sleeper/Sansha AI which targets stuff about the same size, meaning smaller ships shoot smaller things, and they act much less dumb, switching targets occasionally.

CCP are aware that drones are overly disliked by the AI at present and needs tweaking, and I will be prodding them to fix it as soon as they can.

Now, if you're just worried that you can't multibox AFK L4s in a Domi any more while you go watch TV, then too bad.




Dins, seriously, :tinfoil:.

Income generation in HiSec is not being removed. HiSec missions are not being removed. HiSec is not being removed.

errrr.....Kelduum...before you accuse me of Tin Foil Hattery, you want to get your facts straight before castigating me.

Below is the link to CCP Fox Four's statement about the AI defect you say is not there, and we are all just whiners.

I will even bolded the part about the loophole you says does not exist:



That statement of a defect and loophole was published over a month ago.
So it appears to be one of two things happening here:

1. You are too busy to keep up with your appointed CSM duties, or you don't care about your constituents and continue to echo the fallacy about AFK mission running put forth by the null sec zealots. BTW, the same Dev Fox Four went on in the same thread about how she has a Domi fit that she could AFK in using the new AI.

2. You NEVER were interested in the high sec constituency, and simply used your position of a 2000 pilot corp to get you elected to the CSM for personal gain. And please don't counter with "I did not gain from my position on the CSM". You already mentioned in another post what that was. I still have contacts in the UNI.

What is truly sad about this is the people who will get hurt the most by this are the noobs, the group that Eve UNI welcomes.
Why don't you ask around how many of your older players are able to take newer players into L4's now for grinding LP, and experience. And since you are still pre-dominantly a high sec organization, the majority of your players rely on missions for income.

BTW, full disclosure:

Kelduum and I have known each other for years, and he once accused me of theft (I was completely exhonerated) of a UNI based group called D6. Funnily enough, every member of D6 laughed at that, but were not laughing when Kelduum impounded 75 billion of cash and items we had built up in living in a wormhole for over a year, then disbanding the group. I had viewing access of the UNI wallets, and complete access to the D6 division within the UNI wallet. We had as much ISK in that wallet as the other 6 combined. Kelduum and his intel guy Kyrlin did not like that too much.

Yes I could ask or alternatively you could communicate on the EvE Online Forums more than well lets face it I only ever hear you to post a snide comment.

I am sure you have communicated wonderfully within EvE-Uni, but unfortunately not enough out to the general populous, hell I could not even say what your view was on anything.

So here is an easy question for you.

How do you feel about the direction CCP is planning for the future of EvE?

Actually my bad, I am still waking up and missed hi-sec PvE on that list.

I suppose that is also the fact that during the CSM 7 election I don't remember mission running ever coming up, it might have but I can say I don't remember it.

Well either way around I suppose this means the mission runners need to get off their collective buts and vote.

Edit: Seriously I don't know how I missed that. Might be due to my natural dislike of missions. I would rather go ratting in a 1.0 system than mission running, it's that bad.

Also personally I was more interested in the mining fixes than mission running, must say I love my 128h ehp skiff.

I'm a mission runner and these changes haven't "devastated" me. In fact with the missile changes, I've increased my DPS a hell of a lot.

But then I suppose I took the trouble to inform myself of what was happening and made an effort to prepare for it, so I'm not really representative of the demographic you're talking about.

Dins, as you should know, seeing as you were there at the time, that items were disappearing in the group with no record of who had taken what.

Said assets were therefore moved out of the reach of the D6 members for a couple of days to prevent anyone from trying to make off with them all until you could decide amongst yourselves who was going to take ownership, which the group did, and they were then handed over.


Now...

The post you linked was "Posted: 2012.11.09 13:39", so over a month ago now, well before Retribution launch. Lots of things can change then.

"While we consider the fact that the AI will only shoot your first flight of drones (this is based on specific criteria such as sig radius) and not a second wave to be a defect, we are not publishing the fix with Retribution."

So, its not supposed to happen like that. They will be fixing it at some point in the future. But not immediately, and based on CCPs record when it comes to fixes, it may be a while until this happens. (Unless you're posting from the future, in which case can you send me the minutes from the CSM Summit, which would save me typing them up next week. Also lottery numbers.)

Just how is this "CCP plans on closing the loophole in the AI that currently allows for the use of drones"? Unless you don't realise you can recall your drones any more? You can still use them, they will still do damage, and once they put the fix in which works as they want it to, rats will re-evaluate damage dealers, including drones, but not in a way that obliterates them instantly. That said, its good that you know exactly what CCP are planning to do and how it will affect things before they probably even started working on it.

And I still have no idea where you get: "...the CSM is encouraging the removal of high sec as an income generation tool" from.



I haven't yet seen anything posted publicly about the future of EVE I can comment on, barring the recent interviews with Jon Lander, which are fairly content-free for the typical EVE player, beyond "This is just the first step in making it so you don't need a degree in playing Eve Online to be able to play Eve Online", which I'm all for, as long as it doesn't actually change any of the established mechanics and add any kind of "easy mode" to EVE.

As for why I don't post here? It's mainly :angryinternetmen: and content-free ranting. See the OP for reference.
