CSM Campaigns

absolutely, my votes, all my friends votes and anybody else i can convince. You are exactly the right kind of advocate for the things you mentioned in your post. I have been plugging your services in local wherever i go in new eden and someone asks for info about manufacturing/invention/bp's etc. :)

go steve!

Supported. Not a difficult decision. Extremely helpful and useful site.

There are two APIs I can see being useful for blueprints.


The first is a variation of the assets API, just for blueprints, with attributes for ML, PL, runs, and a flag for if it's a copy or not. This would have to be an authenticated API. Either CREST or the older style would be fine.

The other would be similar to user provided details, as a public CREST endpoint providing blueprint details.
Similar to https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/blueprints/xml/16229/75/5

It's a lot less important, as all the details are provided via static data extract and can be provided by people like yours truly. Nice to have, but that's it. Static data doesn't need it anywhere near so much.


As for CREST, I'm in two minds about using it for research. If it allows for jobs to be put in without user intervention (if it can be automated, it would be. And any write can be automated) then it would massively affect industry. in POS, for example, all jobs would be single run to reduce liability (Unless there are changes made to disadvantage short runs)

Part of me says: automate and be damned.
But the more considered part days that would screw up newbies. You shouldn't need to use a third party tool, to be competitive.

1) Epic toolset built to help the community excel.
2) Approachable demeanor with old and new players alike.
3) Passion for the Indy/Manu side of the game.

You have my votes.

(ps. thanks again for being so approachable to indy newbies)

Carbon is under on-going development. Recently DX 11 was integrated. That's still being worked on.

You have to admit, the video on the Carbon development is pretty impressive. Sure, there's now TressFX for doing hair stuff, but that's released around 2-3 years later.

The Avatar stuff /looks/ good. It's not been developed any further, but that's due to player backlash. (Bit of a shame really. it /could/ be good, if they had content. Content comes first)

Sure, CCP could buy in a game engine, and refit Eve to use it. This would:
A: Cost a bunch of time to reach the current state.
B: Tie them to someone else's development timetable.
C: Cost them money to actually license it, year on year.


Right now, I'd say: Stay the course. Of course, I don't know what's going on within CCP.


Of course, that's just the graphics side of it. The backend server would be kind of hard to buy in a replacement for. It's not like anyone else deals with the same number of users, on the same system.

YES! This!

So far I had to force one of our corp members to enter all the ME information to the database manually. Which was tedious. So I had to pay him some ISK.

And it's in sync only as long as no new BPOs are bought and researched. API solution would be perfect!

@FuzzySteve for CSM9!

Fuzzwork has been a staple among my Eve websites for a long while, and the third party community definitely needs the love. You 100% have my vote, and I will desperately try to convince everyone else I play with of the same. Good luck sir. o7

On another note, I've always wanted CREST to include a standings setup. Being able to display/manage/update personal/corporate/alliance standings from a custom application or webpage would make administrating it so much easier, especially when you need those standings standardized, or updated en-mass (such as war-dec watch lists and the like).

you have my vote. just let me know when. I'll share you with my friends...

You have my vote

Something to note:

AFK cloaking has never directly affected me.

Spending most of my time in high sec, with the occasional roam through low and null, it wouldn't.

AFK gameplay irritates me though.
