I am announcing my candidacy for CSM 8.
I plan on running to bring CCP's attention to the need for a new or improved conflict driver in w-space. As it stands right now, w-space is running the risk of stagnation due to the lack of risk to many organizations, both large and small. There have been many ideas passed around these forums for how our lives could be improved, ranging from adding another class of wormholes, changing the mechanics of certain classes, or even changing the "wandering" wormhole spawn methods.
There always going to be different views on what our community as a whole needs to expand and flourish, and many of them are good ideas. We, as a community need to band together, and push these issues to the forefront, so that we no longer take a back seat to null sec politics, and the endless leveraging of massive alliances and power blocs.
In addition, I feel that CCP cannot abandon their proposed POS redesign, it has the ability to fix so many problems in many different aspects of the game. Even if we do not receive the entire modular POS system that has been proposed so many times in the past, a rebalancing pass over the current POS modules and structures could easily alleviate a lot of our current issues with access and ease of use. As a bonus, if done well, it could potentially improve gameplay across all areas of EVE.
I feel that if CCP went through and touched up the anchorable modules for towers, such as the intensive refining array, it could act as a boon to low sec and null sec industry, which is a goal that they have spoken of many times in the past.
We need a CSM who isn't afraid to fight the good fight, and push CCP towards something that is better for everyone in all aspects of the game.
Whether you're a C6 PvPer, or a C1 industrialist, or anywhere in between, this is the time when we as a community can make our voices heard. |

I'd say this is the key sentence in your speech:

Care to expand and solidify your opinions, rather than going for the "catch all" approach?

I feel that it is far too easy for organizations in w-space, of all sizes, to fortify themselves in a system to the point where they are basically invulnerable to anything but a massive blob. I'm not saying we should disallow large towers or anything quite so drastic, but I do feel that changes are in order. The current dynamics of wormhole space breed complacency, particularly among larger, or older organizations, which is not healthy for the game, or the community in any way.
I don't claim to have all the answers to the issues, and if I did, I'd advise you all to vote for someone else.
My job as a CSM is not to come up with the ideas to fix the problems and concerns of the community. It's to help sort through the countless suggestions and ideas on these forums, and champion the best and brightest of those. The ones that I feel would benefit the largest part of the community, if not all of us.
My door is always open, if anyone has any questions for me, any concerns, ideas, or thoughts, please don't hesitate to contact me in-game, via conversation, eve-mail, twitter, or the forums. I will do my best to address everyone, and take every viewpoint into consideration. |

I would however bring up the counter argument that while W-Space is easier to dig into it, that very trait has allowed small corps to stake a claim and have a chance of holding on to it. (and it's not invulnerable. I've seen a good few small talented groups who have become very adept at routing out Pos's from W-Space, just takes planning, patience and time.)
I can't think of anywhere else small groups can base for PvE and PvP activities alike that wouldn't see them subject to being steamrollered by some massive alliance on a whim, so why would you really want W-Space to become a quirky clone of Null Sec?
Anyway give it a few years I'm sure CCP will allow us to develop W-space and "civilize" it just how Null in the old days went from being the wild west to eventually being a collection of alliances with fairly secure space. At that point it will become like Null anyway, except I can see things like gate building/destruction being a thing to differentiate it a little. |

Aye, but with far less frequency due to the effort involved. In null, someone puts a tower up next door, 3 minutes later your there smacking it down. At least in W-Space it takes some effort, so people have to weight up the potential rewards before going to smack the little guy around simply because they can. |

I have to say WH space is 1000% the place for small sovereign PvP corporations to get their start alone.
The fact you want to make it easier to do structure grinding evictions is depressing. Drive conflict by forcing people to come fight somehow. That being said, might not want to listen to me, I'll probably just vote for someone else. |

This. 100 times this.
The last thing you should want to do is to make it easier to kick the small guys out just because you can. Because if you make it possible to easily kick someone out, that's exactly what will happen. |

I didn't say I wanted structure grinds to be easier, nor did I say that I wanted it to be easier to evict people, of any size.
I just feel that in its current iteration, w-space only going to breed further stagnation.
I do not support making structure grinds easier, but instead I would like to see living in w-space become more risky, it's not a simple matter, nor is there a simple fix. I don't claim to have the answer, but as your CSM, it's something that I feel needs to be addressed. |

Remove some empty useless C5's
Fix black holes
Make c4's something useful like duel statics, 1 static to c4/c5/c6 1 static to c/1/c2/c3. Gives a stepping stone between the k-space static low class holes and the pew pew high class ones.
POS rework (kinda obvious)
Do something about the massive dreadfest. I don't know how exactly... maybe make it take 2 minutes to lock a cruiser or something, blapping BS's with them is fine.
Promise to try get most or some of this done and ill probably vote for you(and my army of alts), I know you put effort into this kinda stuff since DUCKS.

I have talked to members of several different w-space alliances, regarding reducing the number of class 5 wormholes, and it's quite a polarizing topic. I personally feel that it would benefit us all, and some people agree, but a lot of people feel differently.
It could potentially drive prices for materials harvested from w-space higher, and generate increased demand for the resources that would remain. Not to mention the simple fact, that in EVE, if people run into each other more often, they will inevitably blow each other up.
There are few benefits to doing something so drastic as removing systems from the game. Maybe reducing the number of class 5, and spreading the removed wormholes among the other higher occupancy classes would be a better option?
The dual static class 4 wormholes is another idea I am a fan of, it provides a stepping stone for organizations that are looking to grow into the class 5, or class 6 wormholes, without the risk of being sieged by capitals, while still having relatively easy k-space access. It would also act as a bridging system, allowing those people living in the lower classes to more easily scan deeper into w-space.
It would also drive conflict in the same sense as removing the systems entirely, if people run into each other, stuff explodes.
The dread "issue" is another one of those touchy subjects. The issue isn't necessarily with the dreads themselves, though the Moros is a beast, but the proliferation of them in organizations home wormholes, and their use under certain situations. It's a complaint that effects a lot of players, but due to dreads uses elsewhere in the game, it's not one lightly undertaken. |

Remove c5s? Why would you do that? Just provide an incentive for people to live there instead. There are a fair portion of the c6s that are empty as well, are we removing those as well? What about all those c4s?
Removing un-occupied c5s wont have any effect at all on wormhole loot prices. Blue loot is static (NPC buy orders don't change) and there wont be any change in volume output anyway, because the holes you're removing are empty to begin with.
Why are you suggesting improving c4s, but removing c5s? I honestly don't understand this. |

The class 5 and class 6 wormholes are already incentivized, via the capital escalations that pay very well. And if you take into account the reduction in gases coming out, sleeper salvage, and mag site loot, I suspect it would have a broader impact then most people would expect. You would likely see less undefended farming systems, as the sites themselves would be in higher demand.
As I said, it's a subject that a lot of people feel very strongly about, in both directions. |

I sympathize with your effort to make people run into each other (and shoot each other) more frequently. But I think making wspace more "habitable" and increasing the population is a better way to do it than making it smaller. And improving POS security would help that the most. |

Again, good luck, good posts so far :)
I think preventing SD inside a force field could rekindle evictions. DoA did quite a few evictions in lower classes for various reasons, but the SD mechanics resulted often in very little gains, concrete or immaterial, for the attackers. Shooting structures with battleships is only endurable if you know you'll get something out of it.
I've always regarded the risk of living in a WH a very important part of the environment, and if the risk is reduced because of boring mechanics, it's weak game design. I don't think that small, unallied PVE corps should be able to exist risk-free in wormholes just because people can't be arsed to boot them out.
This is coming from a small corp CEO, who values risk over safety, and the potential weekend-long good fights that could result when people fight for their homes. Instead of flipping the middle one and SDing their ships in the POS.

Yes, itGÇÖs a troll but there is a serious point to it. The problems Cipreh is describing is a symptom of how large and successful Lost have become. Thing is, theyGÇÖre surprised that no one wants to fight while outnumbered and outclassed. TheyGÇÖre the Goonswarm of wormhole space, except without the innovation. How do you plead?
