CSM Campaigns

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the support!

That is definitely not how I wanted it to come out. Was poorly worded on my part (which I have went back to try to word it better). Sorry about that. I really do appreciate you guys and what you have been doing - and everything from the current CSM has been great, which has been very refreshing!

What I am trying to say the most is that I would like to see more industry folks on the CSM. There's been a lot of industry updates, changes, additions and now we have upcoming drilling platforms - so I feel that it would be very beneficial to have a more strong industrial minded players to the table.

I was wondering if you could answer some questions.

1. At least one member of the current CSM has stated that citadels make moving capital ships too risk-free. As someone who not only runs her own jump freighter service but is involved in alliance-level logistics, do you think any changes need to be made to citadels where long-distance hauling is concerned?

2. A lot of people, including yourself, think that planetary interaction needs to be revamped. If elected and CCP Seagull were to ask you what priority to give a planetary interaction upgrade, what would you tell her? Should it be a high, medium, or low priority?

3. CCP has made many changes, from new structures to the recent rorqual upgrade, designed to make null sec more self-sufficient industrially. Do you think CCP has done enough, or are there additional changes you would like to see?

4. In your thread, Sullen Decimus was insulted because you didn’t know about the work that CSM did concerning industry. Honestly, I had not heard anything about any work the CSM did on industry (or much of anything else) either. What do you think the CSM should do to publicize their activities better?

5. As someone who concentrates mainly in null sec, do you think you have enough experience to be able to discuss issues outside of null sec with the developers?

Thank you

Rosewalker, thank you for your questions. I hope I can answer them all below. Sorry for the slow response, I got a bit busy with RL stuff past couple days.

1. At least one member of the current CSM has stated that citadels make moving capital ships too risk-free. As someone who not only runs her own jump freighter service but is involved in alliance-level logistics, do you think any changes need to be made to citadels where long-distance hauling is concerned?

I do agree that citadels have made it more risk free to move capitals, especially with being able to tether to it regardless if it's a ship class that can dock in it or not (ie: cyno a capital on a medium citadel it can't dock in, but with 1 click you are tethered safely anyways) - which I have done this myself. A thought that I had was similar to stations and cyno's (when you cyno onto a station, you have a timer that you have to wait before you can dock up [If you don't think that timer matters: see video ]) - perhaps adding that same timer to citadels and tethering? Probably not a popular idea there (and even myself , not going to lie, I love tethering <3), but it's just a thought that I did have on this instance.

That aside, and on the next part of the question, I don't really think much needs to be changed in reguards to long distance hauling and I think the jump and fatigue timers do well in preventing be able to go from point A to point B in no time.

2. A lot of people, including yourself, think that planetary interaction needs to be revamped. If elected and CCP Seagull were to ask you what priority to give a planetary interaction upgrade, what would you tell her? Should it be a high, medium, or low priority?

I would say that it should be on high priority personally. It's one of those things that literally has had no love. The closest thing that I can think of as of writing this, is the POCO's. It does desperately need a revamp.

3. CCP has made many changes, from new structures to the recent rorqual upgrade, designed to make null sec more self-sufficient industrially. Do you think CCP has done enough, or are there additional changes you would like to see?

It's definitely gotten better for sure. It's hard to say what else I would like to see when we haven't really seen too much of the drilling platforms for one or the other new structures that were talked about yet. On the topic of drilling platforms, I'd also like to see how it would do things like reactions where currently we have to use various types of silo's depending on what we want.

4. In your thread, Sullen Decimus was insulted because you didn’t know about the work that CSM did concerning industry. Honestly, I had not heard anything about any work the CSM did on industry (or much of anything else) either. What do you think the CSM should do to publicize their activities better?

CCP has said in a few instances that CSM has played an important role in the discussions related to industry and the structures, we also have the 'role call' that are posted of meetings - but I do agree that I would like to see more activity publicized (ie: who/what/extent), but it's hard to say because there are also NDA limitations on what can even be discussed outside.

5. As someone who concentrates mainly in null sec, do you think you have enough experience to be able to discuss issues outside of null sec with the developers?

I do concentrate mainly in nul-sec, but I do feel like do have enough experience, yes, to be able to also discuss issues outside of nul-sec as well. While it has been a while, I have lived and done industry in low-sec as well as high-sec.

Thank you once again!

Thank you <3

A solid platform to stand on!

Yums for space president!

Hi Erika!

I've got a question for you. Given the recent decision by CCP to remove regional stats from the Monthly Economic Report, what overall effect (if any) do you see this as having on the industrial market in New Eden?

Thanks!

Planetary Interaction needs a level of improvements to make it enjoyable and accessible to people. It will cut in some extreme players profits but for overall mechanics there needs to be improvements.

I have always enjoyed looking at the reports personally because I just found it interesting to see all the ISK flows around the game. I won't turn down graph porn.

That said tho, I also haven't really use the stats other than to feed my graph porn quota. It's sad that they aren't going to be doing the regional stats anymore, but I don't see it having too much effect really overall. While not to same extent, we do have other resources to also get similar data for those who use it.

Very much this. Thank you.
