CSM Campaigns

About Myself

I started playing in the Spring of 2009 as a Astrophysics student in college. The games scope and complexity was very awe-inspiring, and I couldn't wait to get involved. I started off as most players do, and started mining. I loved the social aspects of the game, but found it hard to get engaged with my corp-mates as most of them were, well, afk mining.

After trying out nullsec, and dabling in lowsec, I found myself in wormholes in 2012. I still felt that I hardly knew the game, and here I was learning something else! That was where I first made bonds with the pilots I have been flying with even to this day. It wasn't truely until 2013 that I really fell in love with PvP and also started flying with Spectre Fleet. Spectre allowed me to learn how to FC, and the community there has been great in generating content and fun PVP events over the past 2 years. Today I spend most of my time as the CEO of my wormhole corporation, as well as PvPing with Spectre Fleet.


I understand that the CSM is a filtering tool, allowing CCP to vet ideas and initiate discussion on topics based on our knowledge and experiences. That being said the following are issues/ideas I would like to see discussed within the course of CSM XI (in no particular order):

• Assault Frigates: I love the asthetic of these ships, but it is hard to warrant bringing one over a T3 Destroyer


• Battleships: Although Machariels have seen a resurgance, I feel that all battleships should be forces to recon with on the battlefield, balanced by their slow deployment.


• Alliance Bookmarks: This is a quality of life improvement that everyone can benefit from


• Cross-Fleet broadcasts: As our hardware and technology increases on Tranquility, we should make the ability to have the giant fights on giant grids easier.


• Wormhole Life: Wormholes are about to see a big change all at once. The Citadel Expansion will fundamentally change how we live and make our living in wormhole space, and I want to make sure that this change promotes more people living in wormhole space.


• NPSI Community QOL Changes: There are many changes that would help the NPSI community, and one of them is the ability for the FC to be able to set Temporary Standings for the fleet. This would also allow alliance FCs on the battlefield to change allegiances with other fleets on grid. Being able to set the visible color of other fleets could also be incredibly beneficial.

I am excited to discuss my ideas and thoughts on any topic, so please ask if you have any questions. You can also reach me on twitter @tiger_tesla and on Reddit /u/Tiger_Tesla

There are quite a few viable battleship doctrines out there. As everything in Eve it highly depends on the situation and the users intention. Machariels are only one of many frequently used battleship doctrines atm.

Buffing/Adjusting a single ship class because you "want to see more of them or they should be forces to be reconed with" isnt really a thing in eve and leads to imbalances in power in a very hard to balance environment.

What would you want to change? And why?



Pretty sure CCP is aware of that since forever but since alliances are corporations of corporations this is really hard to implement. This is not really anything you as CSM could change or affect.




When multiple fleets work together they usually have some sort of communcation link setup already. This change would only amplify N+1 gameplay which nobody really wants to see.




This was part of Jayne Fillons platform last year, and even tho CCP mentioned that they have plans in regards to this topic they clearly couldnt devote any resources to it.

The point about temporary standings is not a big issue for most fleets since:
1. People usually shoot what a targetcaller/FC broadcasts.
2. FCs/targetcallers can already set standings towards other entities.
3. Distinguishing different fleets is not an impossible task (and shouldnt be for an aspiring FC)
4. FCs usually coordinate with each other already.

How would this change (which is probably a lot of effort to implement) affect the day to day buisness in NPSI fleets and why should CCP devote resources to this? (considering that multifleet engagements are fairly rare, and it would be only a improvement for a very small part of the EvE population)
