Concerns/Issues - I have been playing about a month or so and am loving EVE. My main concern would be the tutorial. I have been evangelizing EVE since I finished my first tutorial. I have had friends try the game, only to quit very quickly after being turned off by the tutorials. Everyone seems to acknowledge that the tutorials are broken, and instead of helping new players come into the game -- they actually serve as a barrier to entry that turn otherwise interested gamers (paying customers) away. I would like to see something done to address this issue.

Issue or Concern: I've been playing eve for a month or so now and I would really like if CCP would work towards advertising this as a space game and put more efforts for new players to get into game by accumulating the popular belief of EvE being a hard big learning curve game. I mean, yes it is, BUT you can have fun straight away you log into the game, not after you get your first Titan in 10years. I think CCP should work with community so when ever we are in reddit/forums new people are excited about the game and want to join in, explain they can ACTUALLY feel the "end-game" after logging in first time basically.

Also I would like to see a feature or a webpage where I could search for every ship module/rig/item in game and see its bonuses and etc, I have not found yet one which would be easy enough to access and scan through. Market is really uncomfortable for that for me, or I just dont know how to use it properly.

I took your survey also, the more i digged into it, the more i liked the idea of having custom ship logos which would represent of which corp is someone from.

Concerns/Issues: It's not a big one, but I think the tutorial needs to do a better job at going over important keyboard shortcuts. I know there are so many players that don't learn certain keyboard shortcuts that makes life soo much easier until months into the game. I guess as a larger theme, this could maybe go under the UI being unfriendly to new players, and the tutorial glosses over it too quickly for something that is essential to people not being frustrated too quickly.

Concerns/Issues: Can we have an unfucked overview be the default for new players? Pretty please? The number of BNI members attacking their "OMG HE'S A PIRATE" fellow corpies is getting embarrassing.

(Also, as a newbie I didn't even understand some of the options in your ship survey...)

I support this, heck, I support anything that gives more information to new players.

I just stepped out of BNI to get some jump-clones via Estele Arador and try a few things while I was waiting out the timers. Not sure if my recent "jumping companies" counts against me or not. I will return shortly to BNI.

Concerns:

CSM intrigues me, but the sheer volume of put-down I reading from postings, say the recent Goons' View [Forgot About Dre] on The Mittani, makes me wonder what is really expected.

I spent a significant portion of my Easter visit with friends chatting about my experience in EVE and I kept noticing how cautious I was about recommending it. I keep emphasizing an FPS players point of view to "dying and respawning", but with the cost of "getting the gear again". It doesn't seem to be a major turnoff to my audience, but it does make them go "hmmm".

All isk rewards paid. I will be going through the survey list and matching up who did what. If anyone would like to help splitting skill book stacks I would love some company!

I support this project. I've been trying to find more information on CSM, listened to some of the Crossing Zebras interviews, but I still find it difficult to find non large-bloc candidates that I feel will actually represent me at CSM. I'll be using more of the resources in this thread to try to educate myself.

As for the ship skins survey, I don't think this is a good idea or use of CCP developer resources. I expect it will either slow down processing dealing with custom ship skins, or will end up being a vanity item, which the players fought against last year for various reasons. There are more important things with the UI and core game mechanics that need fixing, in my opinion.

I'm flying solo at the moment as I don't feel ready for anything just yet.

Came across this thread by accident when perusing the forums.

Issue:

1. The New Player Experience still just dumps you rather abruptly into eve without giving any real hints about what or where to go if your interested in x, y or z.

2. High-sec just feels all the same.

Concern: Finding the right corporation is going to be hard work, even with the corporation recruitment system in-game.

PS a great fan of your work on showing ships in alternate colour schemes, really like the concept of customisable ship colours.
