I honestly don't see a problem with the Black Hole effects. You got to has a ghetto.

No, seriously, having spent a year in a C4 Black Hole, you learn to drop gyros for TE's, precision for rage, and rig your domis effectively. You lol at Cynabals whizzing about at 8km/s and slingshotting off a wormhole. You fit up a Dampstar with blasters and LOL at the foes reduced to a 5km lock range unable to hit your POS. There's nothing wrong with it, not like the Magnetar hack. People are just dumb and adhere too much to FOTM nanofag doctrines or hug their Pulsar and Wolf-Rayet and Magnetar bonuses.

Red Giant is the class which needs a look at. Sure, C5-6 Red Giant provides hilarity and broken ISK via smartbombing, but the other classes are shite.

I'll reserve my judgment. I don't know you have the chutzpah to advicate and agitate properly for the rest of EVE aside from wormholes. I mean, wormholing is in my blood and I love it dearlly, and it would be nice to have a WH CSM. But Two Step's done jack for WH's and the game has bigger problems (nulllsec, tech moons, etc) so fixing them is more important than catering to 5% of the gaming population in a non-broken sector of the game.

You can defo have some great fun in black holes for sure with the speed and all Smile, but for pve, sites take longer to do because of the negative system effects, and your isk per hour is lower, so most of them are not occupied, simple fact. I like to do the minimum amount of pve possible, so stay clear of blackholes, it just takes too long to do sites. Given the choice, would you grind for longer or shorter?

For PVP, any good wh corp / alliance will usually have a range of different fleet doctrines that cover all of the different wh system effects, including that of blackholes. All of the other wormhole effects are perfectly fine (in my opinion), each has advantages and disadvantages, dont underestimate the use of smartbombs, helps to get rid of those pesky ecm drones in pvp Smile

If you think two step did jack all for wh's, you are so wrong mate - should look him up properly, he has probably been one of the best CSM's for both the wh community and everyone else too.

You gotta remember that some of the issues that effect wh guys, also effect most other people in the game too, e.g. POS's, Alliance bookmarks etc. etc. and those are the things an elected wh CSM would probably concentrate on first, the things that effect everyone.

Wormhole space is not broken, agreed. But, most of W-space is empty - and there is always room for improvement, and i think a lot of people are really missing out you know Sad

There are a lot changes coming for eve. While I live in w-space, one of the most interesting for me personally will be to see how nullsec will change / evolve. For exemple, there's ideas that sov should be based on activity and not based on who owns certain structures. Another is beeing able to build/shape a system, placing your mark on it for everyone to see when they jump into the system. I can see some mechanics like that working in wspace to.

I would like to know your views on this. Both from a nullsec persepective and from a wspace persepective, and do you think this increase interaction between nullsec/wspace systems or not. If so, would you consider it good or bad.

I'll post the same question in a couple of other csm-topics to.

As far as I am aware CCP has not confirmed any changes to the Sov system. Farms and fields has been the idea which has been discussed for years now.
Sov belonging to players based on activity has its own issues so I would like to know the specific mechanics of it before telling you that it is a good or bad idea.

I think consolidating null sec and wormhole mechanics might seem cool at first glance but you have to think about the uniqueness of wspace. If too much k-space content is introduced into wormholes we might loose that something special.

It is very hard to talk about something which is pure theory. We do not know what will be the mechanics of new sov system so it is hard to tell how it will impact wspace and null interaction. As far as the interaction itself I think that - spaceship explosions are always a good thing.

I am sorry for noticing your question for so long, I just missed it somehow.
I do agree with you that you can have some fun in black holes. The issue is that there are so few groups actually doing it. In my experience in wormhole space I have never ever seen anyone take the advantage of black hole effect in pvp. So in my personal experiences it not only kills PVE but PVP as well. I just want to mention that I have been doing PVP in all classes of wormholes for quite a few years now.

I think that Two Step did a great job. Especially representing eve community in general. I might disagree with some of his decisions or comments but in most cases he has my full support. I did not like his ideas about nerfing lower class wormholes in form of smaller towers or POS shield debacle.

POSes indeed affect all but it is the issue which is most painful for the wormhole dwellers. I think it is only natural that wormhole people will push for POS changes most of all.

Hello there!

I would like to name several situations that I feel are detrimental to the game. Give a solution and ask you for your stance on both. I do need answers to all the situations for my vote(s)

POS those three letters bring nightmares to just about anyone having the misfortune of having to operate one. The solution in the long term is obviously modular POS. Yet CCP seems to be backpedaling on implementing this despite the MANY benefits. What is your stance on the possibility of a near term bandage of a form of player POS that is only designed to be the equilivant of a Secure Container for ships until modular POS is ready?

Overpowered passive cloaking. It is now to the point where people are now beyond AFK cloaking but running Twitch.tv streams of enemy stations and systems! Would you support balancing cloaking to punish those who go AFK (Eventually able to be scanned down for decloak) while maintaining the benefits to people actively cloaking (Remaining at their keyboard)

Lack of Ring Mining. Again with the CCP backpedaling despite the many benefits for nullsec and other areas for the game. What is your stand on the crap that is moon mining?

The silly push by some in the community to end or delay "Local" or any effective means for those in a nullsec system to determine if a hostile or unknown is in system in them. This obviously needs no solution but I want your thoughts.

The horrible state of missions in hisec. The solution in my opinion is a complete rewrite to allow for a more incursion like approach that rewards those who want to train up logistic frigs and cruisers or be a specific role in a fleet. Also providing a way for newer players to experience group play in EVE.

Incursion suckage. With the nerfs to Incursions fleets have slowed to a trickle and it was sad to see CCP willing to spend more development time nerfing entire expansions instead of doing what was right being making other aspects of EVE better. Modular POS and Ring mining need dev time sooner so I will admit this ought to be looked at later however I wanted to get your views on them and have this to be some context to the next aspect of Logi.

Logi suckage. Logis do not have the tools to do their job. They need to be able to tell who is locked and taking damage and in large fleets the watchlist can't handle that leading to dependence on broadcasts that most of EVE seems to not know or refuse to use right. Look at any average HQ incursion fleet where people don't broadcast right stressing out logi or in fleet fights where following FCs orders makes it harder to broadcast properly. A solution is a logi only screen that is completely configurable to show who is taking the most DPS and who has the most locks in fleet.

Logi Suckage #2 Reps don't get you on mails? Wut? Solution obviously is to have repping those in fleet land you on killmails generated from fleet.

I think CCP should consider patching up current POS system as interim solution. Current one is UI nightmare but with few proper tweaks such as personal storage it can be livable until modular POSes come along.

Afk cloaking is a valid tactic the way I see it. In wspace you don't have local. Having twitch feeds to provide is ingenious idea made by the players and I think such player ingenuity should be supported and not thrown upon.

Moon mining in my opinion should be completely overhauled to the mechanic which is more meaningful. I had quite a discussion about it with few other CSM candidates yesterday and there are some great ideas about it. From being able to steal moon goo with small fleets to mining moon goo in above mentioned rings.

Personally I think local should not exist in the first place as intel gathering tool. To retire local however players need to have better intel gathering tools. Dscan is morally outdated spreadsheet in space.

I think there is horrible state of PVE in general in EvE. PVP is boring. It would take a lot of effort to fix it though. Incursions and sleeper sites is only one way to make PVE more fun. EvE is mmo and I think it should be played with other players in order to increase your income. The other thing which should be reevaluated is balance between risk and reward across all spaces.

Incursions are fine are even too good in high sec right now. People are still making loads of cash with minimal risk.
I think the logi situation is fine with broadcasting system. it could use few UI teaks here and there though. I don't like the idea of more things to get automated in EvE it basically makes EvE easier. To be honest broadcast system is quite intuitive if you take time to set it up and understand how it works.

CCP has expressed multiple times that they want logi on KMs. Question is how it will be implemented.

How do you intend to hold a position in the CSM and work effectivly as part of that group, when you are seemingly incapable of holding your own alliance together? You seem to have a proven track record of being unable to resolve alliance level disputes which ultimately result in a good old fashioned failcascade, which you seem to have every 6 months, so my question to you is how could we rely on you to not display this failing of leadership as a CSM member, what would you do differently to ensure cohesion among the CSM and perhaps most importantly, why would we have not seen these factors displayed in game in keeping your alliance together for more thana few months at a time?

That is a good question.

First of all I would like to correct your facts. I have only been leader of one alliance which was Narwhals ate my Duck which has survived for 1.5 years.

Second all the groups I have helped or created seem to be living just fine in wspace under different banners. Most recent alliance I have been in has changed its name. It might seem as fail cascade to you but I see it as a reform under another banner.

You have to understand that for past 2 years or so I have helped create and shape various entities but I have not been alliance executor or the leader. There is a wide gap between being diplomat/merc contract manager/recruiter/FC etc. and person who makes executive decisions about the alliance. I am actually amazed to see how many people though that I am the one who created Exhale. and was its leader. That is simply not true. I was one of people who helped the alliance to become what it was or is under different name now.

So in the end I have been in leadership position of some form in 2 alliances. I would not call that fail-cascade each few months.

As far as CSM goes I plan to abandon most of my meta roles in game in order to concentrate on being CSM.

Even if two alliances I have been in have not proven to last forever I am glad that they made a big mark in Merc Contracts as well as Wspace history.

That is a good question.



Im glad you agree, perhaps you could answer it for me?

Whilst I accept that I maybe was incorrect in stating that your alliances failcascade every 6 months, you spent the entirity of your answer trying to prove me wrong, and then following that up with some self gratifying fluff about what a sizable impact youve made on wormhole space. In fact, the only part which even comes close to answering my original question is "As far as CSM goes I plan to abandon most of my meta roles in game in order to concentrate on being CSM. " Which only tells me what your not going to do (arguably), rather than what you are going to do; which as Im sure you will agree, tells me absolutely nothing.

Irregardless of whether I was right or wrong, the fact remains that you will have made significant leadership failures during your time in game; in fact, the exhale. name was taken out from under you http://themittani.com/news/exhale-out-breath so please dont try and insult the communities intelligence by passing it off as a change of alliance name; you also hold a sizable position of leadership in exhale. as well. So again I will ask you:

how could we rely on you to not display this failing of leadership as a CSM member
what would you do differently to ensure cohesion among the CSM
why would we have not seen these factors displayed in game in keeping your alliance together

Im sure the rest of your electorate would appreciate an straightforward answer this time instead of uninformative spin.

Thanks
