OP Updated with the list of suggestions made thus far along with link to relevant threads. TY Oreb for pointing out the only active FW participant with a stance on CSM X.
Xgal - willing to accept a nomination?
Grimwood - can you piece together a platform in an expanded post? |

The job of the CSM is to receive input, organize it, and hand it off to CCP to evaluate. Sugar Kyle does this extremely well because she puts the work into it - and she's better at it than any FW-centric candidate we've elected so far.

Stumbled upon this by Manfred Sideous (PL).
Sounds like a pretty good concept to me, though I doubt CCP will make big changes to lowsec and FW this year.

Is Moudib still our only FW candidate? I would really appreciate someone knowledgeable about the current plexing and missioning meta. I'm not saying anything negative about Sugar. I only think she is going to be a definite member and would rather allocate my vote towards another possibly great candidate.
Also ::bump:: for refresh.
3rd Oreb, going his usual ass-hattery, is putting pressure on Muadib to state his view on some of these things, if any of you would chime in or inform yourselves as to where you stand in his opinion on those long debated issues.
Thank you, Jurich. |

There are quite a few candidates that are deserving of a vote even if they aren't core FW players, Sugar is at the top of that list. I would also include Mike Azariah, Steve Ronuken, and Corbexx.
I'm working on trying to figure out the rest of my ballot but probably won't have a great idea of who else will make it onto the list or in what order for another week or so while I catch up on podcasts, posts, etc.
Moudib concerns me a bit with the following statements:

Active FW pilots would be a lot better served, IMO, but taking the time for a long critical look at the state of FW as a whole. How it works internally, how it's impacted by outside forces, how it fits into the larger lowsec environment, and how it impacts other area of the game.
For example, I think we need to take a look at the following:
1. Impact of plexing alts - both on warzone control, cross-faction plexing, and the isk/hr issues. 2. Impact of the current tier system - massive disparity in rewards, impacts on WZ control and other areas of space, the collective action problem 3. FW missions - isk/hr, ease of completion, how those impact other areas
Those things more than anything are what needs to get looked at. The biggest issues IMO stem from how easy it is to make a boatload of isk with minimal investment, which turns FW into an ATM for folks all over New Eden. Balance that out, and things change for the better.

I agree with smoothing out the Tier system, fixing the FW mission balance, and splitting up Allied militia (to eliminate overview nonsense that people use to dunk newbs, as well as to fix cross plexing).
However, don't forget standing repair on your list of issues though. Many people promote FW to new players but don't mention the absolutely unholy faction grind if they ever want to leave and have access to certain parts of space.
For the hard core FW player that might not matter because they have alts for highsec and don't ever plan on leaving. But for making it an accessible part of the game for new players, or casual players, it is a huge deal.
EDIT: LP taxation would have a large impact across much of space as well. Think of all those level 5 mission runners! :p |

On a serious note, I see a lot of talk about what people think is at issue in the WZ and I have seen some odd suggestions come out of the woodwork.

I agree with Veskrashen on thees points and also think a way to tax LP would be nice.
Now realistically the only reason I am on board with the movement of "fix FW missions" is because I am told by so many people how broken it is. I do not fly FW missions, all my LP comes from combat and plexing as it does for many of the pilots I fly with (perhaps an interesting insight into why we are always so poor) so I do not have any personal experience in FW missioning. I would prefer to see something like the burner missions used as FW missions, mostly because I think that sounds like an interesting thing you and a small gang of dudes could do while roaming around space looking for frogs to explode. As it stands, my issue with missions (in general) is that they are not group experiences and thus (for me) not fun (which explains why I don't do them, hurr durr)
All that being said, complains like these are nothing new. How much of an impact does a CSM rep have to push for these changes? Does it matter if the CSM rep is themselves actively involved in FW or is it more important that they have a dialogue with the FW community? I am open to looking at any candidate who appears to be reasonable and willing to talk to me and people like me about things I would like pushed up to CCP attention, which is what has made this thread very handy for me.
I would also strongly suggest that if you want an active and dedicated FW pilot on CSMX then you too push for Grimwood as CSM! Even if that fool doesn't run, write his name in on the ballot and get him on a plane to shout at CCP!

1. Due to rewards being tied to Tier, the LP/mission gets ridiculous. With decent skills, you get 30k-ish LP for a L4 mission at Tier 2. This sets your payouts, per mission, at something like the following:
- Tier 1: 15k LP - Tier 2: 30k LP - Tier 3: 52.5k LP - Tier 4: 75k LP - Tier 5: 90k LP
2. The missions are (for the most part) assassination style, with the objective to get in and blow up either I) 3-6 industrials, II) 1 battleship, or III) a structure. This requires about 350ish DPS to break the tank of the battleships.
3. The large size of the targets means that Stealth Bombers can apply full DPS out to max range. With decent skills and properly rigged, a Bomber can DPS down the target and not be in any danger whatsoever of taking damage from the NPCs.
4. Combining 2 and 3 above, you can therefore complete each mission in about 3-5 minutes at most.
5. Because of this, you can easily complete 5+ L4 missions per hour, sometimes as many as 8 if you're good and get lucky with the mission spawn locations. This puts your hourly income, with a throwaway toon in a bomber, at about 375k LP/hour minimum at Tier 4.
This means that running FW missions solo in a bomber at high tier is about 3-4x as lucrative as running highsec incursions. Pilots doing this don't have to do anything at all other than be in the appropriate militia and have the appropriate corporate or faction standings. You don't have to contribute to the war effort, run plexes, or anything like that at all.
How to fix this? Well for one thing the current state of play rests in large part on the fact that Bombers can avoid pretty much all damage in the missions with minimal effort. Adding 1-2 scrambling / webbing elite frigates to each mission would stop that practice in a heartbeat. Evening out the Tiers and significantly lowering the top end maximum reward would also massively change the incentive structure. That Tier 4-5 mission payout is why you see such massive swings in the southern warzone.

I am open to looking at any candidate who appears to be reasonable and willing to talk to me and people like me about things I would like pushed up to CCP attention, which is what has made this thread very handy for me. CCP is probably very aware of these issues, but the solutions are predicated on them getting some new tools (i.e. missions can't be adjusted until their new content tools are ready) and development time (they need to carve out time/space to think hard on the current Tier system and its impacts, for example). From the Winter minutes we know that the issue of LP taxes was raised, and it's not technically possible for CCP to code at the moment without totally reworking the whole mission reward system as a whole. Given that we've had several iterations to FW in the past couple years, that development time is likely in short supply for a dedicated FW revamp.
Sugar Kyle, Corbexx, Mike Azariah and Steve Ronuken have all shown themselves to be very intelligent hardworking CSM reps who will listen to issues from the playerbase and do the research necessary to present good solutions to CCP. Mynna apparently had a guide on how to make Min/Amarr bomber alts for mad iskies that was on the Gewn wiki or something, so Sion Kumitomo, Endie von Post and Manfred Sidious could probably all speak to how farming these broken missions for years helped them proliferate supercapitals in nullsec. I wouldn't bother putting the nullsec candidates on your ballot since bloc voting means they'll be elected regardless, but they could potentially contribute if they wanted.

If you're wondering what my "simple solution for FW missions" would be, here's a thought:
1. Fix LP rewards for all FW activities at Tier 2 level. 2. Delete the Tier system. 3. When able, add in 1-2 MWDing scram/web frigates to each L4 mission.
This puts your income at about 150k LP/hour regardless of Tier, removes the penalty for the losing side who's stuck at Tier 1, and massively reduces the amount of folks willing to mad farm missions. It forces folks to use ships that are more survivable, harder to move around the warzone unmolested, and requires higher skill investment (on par with other L4 mission running setups) to complete.

FW are not as broken as some people suggest. Gallente missions in particular require a real boat to complete - one that is vulnerable to ganks by anyone in local who sees the mission beacon pop up on overview. You also have to spend considerable amount of time and isk turning in LP, transporting the stuff to market, and then selling it.
It's not like the agent gives you a boatload of isk like other parts of this game, and it's not like they can be done passively like the other parts of this game.
Missions from other factions? Sounds like they are a joke that are best run in stealth bombers. Maybe CCP fixes that first so that other factions can then comment on whether or not missions should be nerfed into the ground.

i don't see why L4 missions would need a nerf now, since the recon changes add the huge risk of a lachesis suddenly showing up on grid.
There's nothin' like skating away from a fight with the hull on fire, some mods burned out and a cargohold full of loot.

I think there needs a balance between the different faction's missions even more now because of the changes to recons. There is a giant discrepancy on the ships needed to be used in order to complete lvl 4 missions. For example, the Caldari can complete a lvl 4 mission in a bomber worth ~44mil isk. To complete lvl 4 missions for the Gallente you need to use either a Ishtar worth ~235mil or a T3 worth ~360mil. Don't even get me started on how much fun it is getting jammed 14+ times in a row.

1, You would need FCs capable of utilising an asset such as a Titan which you do not have.
2, You would need to be able to maintain ownership of you're moons which you can not.
3, You would need a fleet more substantial then derptrons to bridge via you're Titan.
I guess we all have pipe-bomb dreams X Gallentius but I think you should make you're own, a little bit more achievable.

Why I hear you ask because leaving Gallente militia turning my back on FW was not the easy route. Its called a challenge the grass is not always greener on the other side. One must cultivate the right scenario for success.
So now we have the FACT'S out in the open, perhaps you can answer one simple question. Why with all you forum bravado will Gallente militia not fight Snuffed out ?
Is it because you are risk averse fearful of failure from you're own inadequacies. As pilots when faced with a superior opponent. please enlighten me.
