Wormholes

As an update, I have posted my campaign platform here on the Jita Park Speakers corner.

Nathan Jameson,

Should you really be posting in a CSM8 WH candidates post with the following taken directly from your JPSC post "I do not intend to advance only wormhole-related concerns to the CCP offices" or from page 2 of this thread "I actually live in Jita."

If you intend on advancing not just WH related items but other Eve-wide issues I fear that your focus on ensuring that us WHers have a voice will become diluted when you invariable get drawn into 0.0/LS/HS issues, you will lose sight of what matters to us (your voters).

I'm not going to even entertain the comment about living in jita, how are we supposed to get some stress rrelief when you screw up and we can’t come and hunt you down and provide you with a express route to HS in anger

While I wont claim to speak for most/all of the WH community, I do view the WH CSM candidate as someone who will ensure that whatever fix/new feature gets implmeneted does not impact us either completely or at very least some form of heads up that we're about to be screwed over (although it may completely fix current 0.0/LS/HS issues), if your not living daily in a WH and focusing on other issues what assurance can you give to us that you are our best choice for our WH CSM.

Wormholes are an environment I truly discovered less than two weeks ago (after almost 2 years of nullsec), and I think that it's a very good part of the game that deserves a CSM candidate.

Those are the issues which I think are important to fix. I'll consider those first when choosing who I'll vote for :

Switching T3 subs in-space (And assembling T3s).

Nothing to be said about that. Those ships are produced, used and lost in wormholes. How come I'm forced to haul one to a station to assemble it ?

Pushing for a modular POS (Or New in-space structures system).

If you bring new POSes and/or new structures, this will bring good things to EVE as a whole. And it will be a relief to wormholers who have to deal with it every day.

Alliance bookmarks.

This is quite an important thing. Having to "trade" bookmarks through a shuttle all the god damn time is annoying. I'm part of a rather small wormhole corp, and being one of the only EUTZ guys here, I constantly have to deal with that BM-filled shuttle in order to actually move around.

Dreads/Carriers rebalance, so that we're not stuck with Archons+Moros > Everything else.

Bring the Moros in-line with the Revelation. Bring the other carriers in-line with the Archon. That'll do. I fly a Nidhoggur/Naglfar/Chimera/Phoenix, but all those 4 caps are close to uselessness in WH combat. Come on.

Low level PVE activites in every wormholes, no matter which class they are.

Basically, except Ladars (That you can do alone because they're kinda broken) and some Magnetos (that you can do alone because they're broken too), there is absolutly nothing you can do alone. I understand that wormholes and EVE as a whole is a multiplayer game, don't get me wrong. I'm just asking for "something to do when no one is online" that doesn't involve logging in an alt and do something somewhere else.

Having a few lowlevel complexes/sites wouldn't hurt.

I find this exceedingly amusing. Thanks for laugh, Rover.

It's going to be tough to sort through all the BS, but when we do decide on a candidate. For better or worse..we need to back them fully with the entire WH community as a whole.

The small insignificant changes from the major changes can be viewed 2 ways imo..realisitic or unrealistic. At some point we need to weigh what we can realistically get improved against what will end up going back and forth. I think that some changes are extremely low priority but they might also be the easiest to improve based on degree of difficulty or investment from CCP. They are going to be paying these dev's to work on these changes. This takes resources. As much as POS 2.0 is being pushed by the wh community, CCP says it isn't worth their investment. Which sucks, but I understand their end. In a sense, I feel like maybe we should try to take advantage of this position while we do have it and push what we would seem to be most realistic until we brainstorm ways to improve poses or whatever larger changes further. Making CCP feel that it would be worth their investment because the improvements would promote more pos use, more player use, and ultimately more player subs which generates more revenue. Maybe smaller improvements on existing poses for now. I'm not a programmer/developer, but I am a businessman, I understand CCP's end. If we want to push for these changes, we need to make it work for them. After all, CCP is a business they aren't hear for the carebear tears. We need these changes to not only improve our way of WH life, it needs to work with all space. A fairly long list of easy fixes, IE (subsystem fitting in whs, alliance bm, more folders in CHA's, SD inside FF, etc etc) I honestly don't know how difficult it would be to change these, but it seems like it shouldn't be that difficult. [ I could be way off base there.] These changes would affect all of whs, not just the C6 juggernaut alliances. I understand the concern of the smaller alliances. Check out the candidates, if you don't feel like your intrests are being covered, you are free to run as CSM.

Please stop asking these open ended questions "like are you going to forget about the little guy when youre voted in" These don't help, any person with a 6th grade education would know how to answer that question, whether genuine or not, in order to improve their image.

No doubt about it, whoever is selected will have their work cut out for them. Good luck guys, I look forward to reading/hearing constructive points backed with solid arguments.

Being only a year into this game i'm actually happy to hear that. I've been reading alot lately and it worried me that it was just a more private nullsec only with the major groups running the place.

Though so far since being involved in Wspace i've noticed so far that it is no comparison to Null in terms of the players

My woodwork is being ruined with all these candidates jumping out of it.

Your words sting, comrade. ;-)

BTW Raptors eat POS's alive.

There's a lot of truth to that. And a lot of paper pushing to be done in the CSM (mails, meetings, CSM minutes, JPSC threads, etc.). I think I have my Tedious Paperwork Specialization up to at least IV by now.

sorting out the BS is half the fun I reckon , we should be asking the tough questions to ensure that whoever gets our votes is worthy of standing up for the WH community and our support until the next election.

One thing I would like to see if more transparency/consolidation on the topics that the WH CSM is taking to CCP and providing feedback where NDA's allow, picking up on this weeks forum threadnaught and then replying to said thread is a spotty way to do things at best. Yes there is eve search for finding a topic in the forums or the odd town hall here and there but there has to be a better way.

Q. How would you as the WH community CSM provide consolidated but structured feedback between us & CCP
