CSM Campaigns

The truth really being that you'd only really push for changes which benefit you regardless of whether it's balanced or good for the game, whine endlessly about other changes which negatively affect you and explode into childlike rage when you are challenged. I'm pretty sure most people know how you behave and really don't want to see the CSM with someone like you on it. I mean seriously, look at your response to Alekseyev: "At least my social skills are much better then yours". This isn't a school playground where "I know you are so what am I" is a normal response. Also, it's "than".

Well, at least you're qualified to comment.

This thread definitely needs more 'high level' industrialists.

I agree entirely with Sabriz, and am very disappointed in the positions Tora Bushido has taken here.

Tora, I can't speak for everyone, but I personally look for a certain level of maturity in a CSM candidate. CSM is a diplo position, in many ways, and you have to deal with CCP who are the most psychologically difficult alliance of all. Falling for Lucas's bait post shows a lack of that maturity.

You can throw eggs and be as reactive as you want to be, but it reflects badly on you more than anything. This isn't Lucas's CSM candidacy thread, it's yours. Don't [insert 4 letter word here] where you live, or so they say.

Each area of space has its own challenges. The initial post of Ideas were never a basis for my Campaign, but to act as a spark plug for getting to the down and dirty of these kind of issues. While this approach may have turned the stomachs of many… If one can’t identify the down and dirty from the player base, then what good is the CSM. I’m here to listen and I want more of your ideas! So let’s get down to business.

A few ideas that were send to me. Your thoughts ?

FLEET ESCORT - Anyone within a fleet of someone who is unlawfully shot at immediately gains lock against that Criminal. The Immediate Lock doesn't make any sense, but neither does the Criminal ship being held in place, unable to move. This just helps those with any escorts or anti-ganker groups to react quicker in an attempt to defend the Target.

THE HIDEOUT – A Mobile Deployable Unit that shadows Criminal Targets from Concord. While of course Criminals will lose their ships, and they can’t undock in another ship, they could still undock in a Pod and warp to this 15km Area to hide in new ships. The Hideout will also tick down the timer twice as fast while they are in range and in a ship. What this does is provide opportunities for Anti Ganker movements to hunt Gankers who may find this unit useful to quicken their return to another gank.

WAR EVASION - This is still a legitimate problem. It’s far too easy to just drop corp and reform a new one. To me, the solution is rather simple and in part, already in Game! What happens when a Corp leaves an Alliance that is War Decced? The war doesn’t just drop anymore! It satys with them for the remained of that War’s initial term! Bingo! The same should be for Players!
I think CCP didn’t want to lock people into their Corp as it has been laid out in the past to do. Locking down a Corp under War Dec is too much. If a player wants to leave, let them, but they’ll still be flagged as a War Target for the remained of that week of time. Pure and simple.

MORE CONTENT - Random Mission generation: I think the Damsel has been Save over 10 Billion times now. Missions need to stop being repetitious and be more Random. By random, I mean to space and enemy deployment with unknown triggers... Random Faction spawns... Mission that lead into nearby Wormholes... Etc. It needs to be more challenging and have such Variety that Players Don't get bored. Some random mission elements should include Limited Engagement periods with other mission runners... Competing for the same goal.., or one is protecting something the other needs to destroy... Etc. MORE INTERACTIVE GAMEPLAY!

Fleet Escort seems like an unnecessary one sided boost to hisec PVP. What is the problem this proposed change would be solving?

The Hideout is pointless with zero clone upgrade costs. Edit: I reread it. I guess I don't understand how pilots on GCC are undocking in ships.

War Evasion works for me, but it fails to solve the larger issues with wardeccimg, and may be a technical nightmare to implement.

More Content makes something that is grindy into something that is grindy and tedious. Content should come from players. I think ideas that bring more content from other players into PVE activity is more useful than hitting rand() on mission objectives.

Remember, these are not my ideas, but from people who support me. The main reason I post them here, is to see how the community (dis)likes it. I just collect, sort, check feedback, analyze, filter and use the output for the CSM campaign.

The hideout is something I do like myself. It gives both sides new options, its simple and it eliminates the other ideas about timers, kickout of stations, etc. that some had issues with.

The ideas about being AFK (undocked and on same grid) and Ganking ideas have been updated in the original post.

1) I can see where you are coming from with this, it's not a terrible idea and possibly worth considering. I'm not sure it would be helpful though.
2) Life is already pretty damn hard. Unless you've lived it you have no idea.
3) No. Have you ever payed for those tags, they are NOT cheap.
4) This is just laughable. I won't even say anything more about it.
5) Fully agree on this. The bounty system is less broken than it was before, but still needs some work. Kill rights aren't really so bad, but most people do not use them properly. I think killrights should provide free locator agents as well as a brief guide on how to make use of killrights properly. I've personally had killrights, and I used them to kill the aggressor in his hulk. Got his pod too. I've had lots of killrights against me, and only one person has ever used them for anything useful.

They still wouldn't be able to, but they could reship from an Orca, Bowhead or unpiloted ship when they reach the module. (Or carrier if and when they become allowed in HS again.)

If you go by the lore (the ships actually have full crews) then it is mass murder. However that line of argument would also make Concorde the worst perpetrators of mass murder in human history.
