I'm putting my name in for CSM 12 on the Faction Warfare platform.

I want to see a harder stance on LP farming and an emphasis on building communities.

I'd like to hear your thoughts because after all I will be the person who brings YOUR thoughts, concerns and ideas to the table with CCP.

Let’s Bring Faction Warfare Into the Modern Era.


I am running as a candidate for CSM XII on the platform of Faction Warfare. With the Ascension release last November the hopes were that all of our new Alpha brothers and sisters would come to their respective Militias. We really haven’t seen this happen, and I may have the reason why.

Faction Warfare as we know it is far behind in its mechanics and gameplay compared with the rest of EVE Online. Faction Warfare was added to the game in the Empyrean Age release in 2008 and it hasn’t had too many major updates since then. The last update we’ve seen was in the Kronos release of 2014. Even with that release we didn’t see a lot of enhancements.

It has been said many times and many ways that we need to fix all of the issues in the system. I’ve heard we need a way to stop the LP farming epidemic. I’ve seen this in action. I’d like to see some new sites and mechanics added to enhance the quality of life for Faction Warfare players.

For our new Alpha brothers and sisters, I’d like to see the Inception concept extended into pushing (lightly) new players into Factional Warfare. To do this, the storylines need to be updated, the UI needs small changes and the Faction pirate AI’s need to be improved.

If you elect me for CSM XII I will bring YOUR thoughts, ideas and concerns to CCP. I will be YOUR voice on the committee.

Hello,

My question - what is your viewpoint regarding Faction standings and as a CSM member, what changes would you propose to CCP pertaining to game mechanics for Faction standings ?

Good luck to you in the upcoming CSM election.

07 Candidate!

First, thank you for your time and effort (both present and future) in representing the capsuleers of New Eden! They’re much appreciated.

I’m preparing to cast my vote in the CSM12 elections. After reading the information you submitted, though, I still have a question.

By way of background, I started in Eve as a hauler, moving freight in T1 industrials and gradually working my way up in both ships and cargo. However, I repeatedly found my progress impeded by gankers who would destroy my ship and steal my cargo. In low- and null-sec space, that’s to be expected. You place your bet and take your chances. In high-sec space, however, this is very frustrating. Why have high-sec space at all then? This frustration drove me into anti-ganking, and I’ve been a proud member of Thomas en Chasteaux's High-Sec Militia for several months now.

So, my question. Where do you stand on high-sec ganking? I’ll concede that ganking is a legitimate style of game play, as CCP has ruled. But I also feel that it should be difficult and dangerous (for the ganker) in the 30% of New Eden designated as high-sec space. In particular, I’d like to see CCP tweak the game mechanics so that the criminal flag generated by looting a ganked freighter in high-sec space follows all players who handle that loot, and otherwise make looting more realistic. (Thomas en Chasteaux's ideas, not mine.)

As a member of the CSM, would you present such an idea to CCP? Would you push for its adoption? What other game changes might you consider to make high-sec ganking more difficult and less profitable?

Regards,
Cochise Chiricahua.
