Jita Park Speakers Corner

Would you expand on your view in this area?

For example (very roughly):



• In a 0.1 system there might not be any station/gate guns, but bubbles would not be anchorable.
• In a 0.2 system there would be station guns but no gate guns.
• In a 0.3 system there would be both station guns and gate guns, but they would not be as powerful as those in a 0.4
• In a 0.4 system there would be more powerful station guns and gate guns, and there would be a small chance of faction navy or pirate navy NPCs spawning when a criminal act takes place
• In a 0.5 system the faction navy (rather than Concord) would respond in force to criminal acts - sufficiently prepared ships could tank or avoid them for a short period, but would eventually be overwhelmed (the navy might call in Concord reinforcements if they were unable to handle the situation). All hi-sec systems would have powerful gate and station guns.
• In a 0.6 system Concord would respond to criminal acts, but their response time would be slower than in higher security systems.
• In a 0.7 system the Concord response time would be quicker, and there would be a very small chance of faction navy patrols appearing at gates and stations (tankable/avoidable if prepared).
• In a 0.8 system the Concord response time would be quicker and in greater numbers, and there would be a small to medium chance of faction navy patrols at gates and stations (still tankable/avoidable).
• In a 0.9 system the Concord response time would be quicker still, and there would be a medium to high chance of faction navy patrolling gates and stations, and a small chance of them patrolling asteroid belts.
• In a 1.0 system the Concord response would be almost instant, there would be constant faction navy patrols at stations and gates, and there would be a good chance of the navy patrolling the belts too.


Moving from a 1.0 system to a 0.5 system (or a 0.4 system to a 0.1 system) would involve a noticable drop in security, and would be accompanied by a comparable increase in potential reward for those willing to deal with the increased risk.

That's exactly the kind of gradiated difference I had in mind.....

As a new player (+5 months), I see a deep chasm around Highsec… the drop of is both sharp and deep, but change that by modifying the risk and things will change… for most in both High and Low Sec.

A miner in 0.5 space is fairly safe… easy money and usually death for the pirate. A miner in 0.4 is nuts. An easy kill for the pirate. Modify the risk/reward for both by blurring the line and the game has gotten a whole lot more dynamic.

Based on your responses/clarifications, plus how you responded (tone)…. I have moved from 'will not vote for' to undecided.

I have no intention of disrupted your thread or troll in anyway, so please tell me if my questions/posts are undesired and I will stop. I am just cautious when it comes to your candidacy. You are ‘dangerous’. I don’t mean that negatively.

I have read the forums and there seem to be strong circumstantial evidence that some who where elected in the past didn’t contribute much… some didn't even try. I don’t see that in you. For your posts/stances, I fully believe you will be active and passionate. You are a danger to the ‘Status Quo’. You will seek change, thus my questions.

Good luck on your Candidacy

you got all my votes so far ☑

As mentioned above in this thread, I don't like local as an intel tool because it gives the wrong kind of intel (who) instead of the right kind (what), it doesn't give the intel in a useful manner, takes up too much screen area, isn't interactive, doesn't promote gameplay and it makes EVE feel small.

But.

It would be a dreadful idea to get rid of it until we have a scanner that's changed an improved out of all recognition.

I'm just gonna cross post this from Jester's thread, and then post it into a couple of those candidates threads at that, because I'm lazy.

I wanted to ask about something that doesn't get the time it deserves. The Drone Regions, or I suppose more precisely the half-finished state of Rogue Drones. My question is basically how do you think they should be fixed, and do you think CCP is paying them enough attention?

I also expounded on what some of the specific problems that they have in a later post in Jester's thread if you care to read it. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2670163#post2670163 You even get a free side of pointless arguing with the New Order in that post.

Yes, because manufacturing arrays at POS's don't work in null sec.
Oh wait, they do.

And of course, it is only a tiny cottage industry that cranks out supercarriers and titans, dreads and carriers.
If CCP would ever release the numbers about how many minerals were sucked into null sec cap and supercap production, null sec propagandists would have an awful time complaining about null sec industry.

But I am certain that since CCP has not released any data since May 2012, it won't be hard for this null sec CSM to keep the lid on how many supercaps have been built in the past 8 months, and how many trillions of ISK in minerals have been locked into those hulls.

Truth is bad for the propaganda business.

They do, but they're costlier, riskier and much more effort in every way than what you would have to deal with in hisec. As Malcanis says, POSes need to be overhauled for them to be considered used for manufacturing, least of all is the security aspect of it, and secondly is the absolutely atrocious UI for setting one up.


Pretty certain dreads and carriers are predominantly manufactured in lowsec, not nullsec. And we've been saying, numerous times, that supercaps are made en masse in nullsec since, uh, that's the only place they can be made.


I've no idea what you're on about, since last I checked we've said a ton of times that supercaps were the main industry being performed in nullsec. We want more variation in nullsec industry, and the amount of minerals is not in any way, shape or form indicative of how healthy the industrial part of nullsec industry is, the indication to watch is the number of different things being made, the number of people making them and the number of people making the raw materials for this industry. And that indicator is pointing squarely towards "it's ****".

As for how much minerals etc has been thrown into this, you can probably look at the pace they were made pre-nerf, halve the number and be closeish to today's pace, but if you want to be sensationalist you can assume that they're being made at the same pace as pre-nerf. It doesn't matter, since, again, it's in no way an indication of the health of nullsec's industry.

What is your stance on AFK skill training?

I find it reprehensible that someone can walk away from their computer during a 50 day skill train.
