The Crimson Harvest - Feedback

CCP Fozzie brings exciting news about 13 new ships being under development and getting deployed this Winter 2015: new Tech-2 logistic frigates, faction ECM frigates, an ice mining expedition frigate, and Tech-2 destroyers.

The Scope - The Crimson Harvest
A disturbing broadcast that was beamed out across the Amarr Empire shows Omir Sarikusa performing a gruesome ritual. This insanity is nothing for the fainthearted!

7th Fleet Re-deployed After Multiple Blood Raider Attacks
A ‘significant’ number of forces have been re-deployed to the Sasen and Vaarma constellations after several attacks on Imperial assets by Blood Raiders. The highest profile of these attacks was on Kamela III, where the family crypt of the planet’s holder was razed and the adjoining cathedral’s chancel and altar became an execution site for more than a hundred local clergy members. Additionally a large scale assault on Huola VII, as well as assaults on several orbital facilities in Sosala and Anka has been conducted with a further two thousand confirmed missing. A task force from the famed “Saracens” 7th Fleet has been deployed to the two constellations in order to re-secure the area.

Maintenance Crews Sniff Out Odor’s Source
Authorities confirmed that a maintenance crew had located a large Fedo colony and the corpses of over a dozen partially-eaten people hidden in the bowels of Vard III’s Six Kin Development Production Plant station. Identification of the bodies will be delayed while hazmat teams work to clear the compartment of biological waste. Six Kin Development is consulting with local architects and security firms in an attempt to determine how so many people could have sealed themselves inside the buffer zone unnoticed.

Skill trading - constructive feedback is important!
The feature draft of skill point trading (trading between players as another resource in EVE created by players) was met with a lot of feedback, often skeptical and controversial. This feedback is valuable and important, especially when it comes as constructive feedback pointing out specific issues or ideas. A general "I like it" or "I don't like it" without reasons and details is not as good...
