My name is Roedyn and I am proud to announce my candidacy for CSM XII.
Who Am I? 1. Wrecking Machine. Alliance line member - assisted the alliance in the destruction of several dozen citadels in empire. Uniquely aware of the challenges and shortcomings of the war declaration system from an organizational standpoint. 2. Wormhole Resident - Have lived in and day tripped C1 - C5 wormholes since the Apocrypha expansion. Currently living in a dual static C2 with citadels. 3. Trusted Trader - An active participant in the SCC Lounge Discord that houses notable market players in the game. A competitive station trader that has earned the trust of investors to support their respective community driven projects such as Mike Azariah for the Magic School Bus and J Mcclain for Best Of Us. 4. The Neocom Writer - Creator of the GÇ£Trade RecapGÇ¥ weekly market articles since April 2016. Provided historical personal trading news and updates to investors regarding trading operations. 5. Faction Warfare - Since 2010 have consistently participated in FW game play for all militias at one point or another. Currently serving in the Caldari Militia. Active and genuine solo pvper in the warzone.
Why Am I Running For CSM? I was frustrated when CSM XI was announced and it was almost a mirror of the major participants of WWB. I thought to myself that this will be another year that anything outside of direct null sec play will not be discussed or have any interest due to the nature of the candidates. Instead of complaining about it, I decided to run for the following year's CSM.
Fortunately, this year's CSM was very productive. The focus groups and roundtables gathered interest and was hopefully instrumental to CCP in improving the game. Some of those roundtables actually addressed my previous concerns, most notably the war dec round table.
All voices from all types of players do have value. I feel that I can help highlight concerns from those groups by actively seeking input, being available through more than one communication platform, and articulating my own thoughts on the matter.
What Is The Role Of The CSM? How Do I Promote That? The CSM is an active and dependable communication instrument between CCP and the player base. I will promote this function by focusing my creative energy to work with fellow CSM to produce roundtables, focus groups, and articles about the process.
What Is My Platform? I will bring value to the CSM as a communicator. I will not be a candidate bound by the type of space that I play in. I am a candidate suitable to interact with CCP based on my well rounded experience. If youGÇÖre looking for a candidate that will be biased towards one area of space over another, I may not be an attractive choice for you. However, I can offer the following.
When solicited for suggestions by CCP, I will follow these principles. -Concerning mechanics or ship balancing, be aware of the effects of scale. -Address motivation. We must be able to articulate the individualGÇÖs perception of value derived from an activity. -WhatGÇÖs In It For Me? There must be a measurable improvement to the experience of the individual player.
Teamwork - I will encourage the CSM to work together on CCP driven projects to have as much subject matter experts on hand to produce quality results.
Objectivity - I will offer experience based and data driven recommendations even if it is to the detriment of my gameplay style.
CCP / CSM Relationship - CSM are not junior developers. CCP takes the lead and seeks input from the CSM.
CCP Must Own This - It is not appropriate to leave mechanics and ship balancing issues without timely periodic iterations.
How Have I Worked Towards My Platform? I actively engaged my alliance, the market and trading community, null sec entities, and faction warfare corporations to solicit recommendations and concerns regarding their respective space and gameplay style. I will not hesitate to directly communicate with anyone or any group regarding feedback they may have about the CSM process or CCP in general.
War Decs - More diplomatic options to resolve war decs -Balance cost of war to refer to aggressorGÇÖs size -Add deterioration mechanic to idle citadels
Market Community - API parity with XML and API endpoint for citadel range orders Remote stacking of inventory items -Make BPCs stackable to make item limit in hangars less cumbersome to manage -Make PI interface similar to Industry Window Interface so you are able to see active PI setups, sort by yield, and connected / unconnected status
Null Sec - Adjust timers for citadels to reference its size. Astrahus should not be able to enjoy the same timer defensibility as its larger variants once shields are down. -Reduce tether range or disallow safe log immediately after jumping to a cyno when in tether range Adjust citadel roles to be task specific. Currently, the ability to fuel and man the weaponry is bound to the same role. -Consider that it would take a T2 rigged Sotiyo to be in parity with a fully upgraded Amarr Outpost. The cost difference is tremendous in this instance. -Rorquals disincentivized exhumer mining. Either give big boosts or mining ability, not both.
Faction Warfare - Address undock delay from citadels -Citadels make geography irrelevant in the warzone. Address the relationship between the warzone, NPC stations, the station bonuses derived from FW, and citadels. -Deliver more engaging FW missions and balance the ones that are currently available, especially the racial EWAR applied
If you find value in this type of work, then I am the candidate for you. |

Here here!
Roedyn and I first crossed paths in August. He initially attracted my attention through his weekly publication of the Trade Recap. I read his weekly findings often and tried to mimic them myself, albeit with less success than he.
When I approached Roedyn about his trades I became aware of his role as an investment manager of a fund he was running. The amount he had secured and traded with was over 150 billion ISK. Roedyn was extremely honest with me in saying that his earnings were modest, and that he would be open in helping me find my own way as a trader. To most of you this should come as a shock. Any trader worth his salt never gives up trade secrets. The tactic Roedyn used, however, was not a tactic. He was legitimately trying to help me because that is what game play is all about to him.
To Roedyn, if you are not enjoying your aspect of the game, he wants to know why. He wants to figure that out for you and improve it. Whether its day trading for me, high-sec mechanics for the minority, or sov mechanics for the masses. Roedyn goes out of his way to analyze the issue, suggest solutions, and make a difference in EVERY player's experience. |

+1, I'd definitely vouch for this guy as a great potential CSM candidate. I've known Roe for probably 2-3 years now. Most importantly, he has no interest in advancing his own agenda - rather, he genuinely cares about the community as a whole and does his best to represent the interests of players of all levels (newbros, low sec guys, null sec coalitions, and wormholers) - and he's one of the few candidates with enough experience in all of these areas to fairly represent their interests and see how the interests of all these groups fit together. |

I can safely say that I will not be running for CSM anytime soon :)
I actually would like the things you suggested but that's not really what I think of when I think of what the CSM does.

Thank you very much for your response.
1. Concerning adjusting the FW LP Store rewards, I've had discussions concerning this before but I failed to create enough traction for my arguments. Basically I failed to articulate what types of items should be added or made exclusive to the FW LP Stores. I appreciate your suggestion of adding Republic Light Missiles. The Minmatar racial ship lines have developed over the years to encompass more missile bonuses. It makes sense to add racial faction missiles to the LP store. Should it be exclusive?
2. I double checked the bonuses of the Tempest and Tempest Fleet Issue. I'm sorry but I think what you meant was the 7.5% bonus to rate of fire of the Tempest. With that, I will assume that what you want to happen is for the Tempest Fleet Issue to have this bonus as well. I don't have much experience in flying this ship. But as a trader I can tell you that there isn't much demand for this faction ship. If applying this buff will make this ship a more attractive choice to take to combat, that is definitely worth exploring and forwarding the request to CCP.
The suggestions I listed in my original post was a small sampling of the suggestions that I have collected from different players. I will add your suggestion to the list and hopefully I will be able to submit these to CCP once elected. I hope I was able to address your concerns. |

Hi roedyn
Where do you stand on allowing stabbed ships in FW plexes? How about adding suspect timers to any ship that enter a plex after all you are entering miltiary base in a miltiary vessel ? T4 /T5 payouts for killing war targets what ever the tier is? |

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.

Concerning stabbed ships, if it is not possible to disallow entry of ships fitted with WCS into plexes, then a reasonable solution may be to adjust the requirement to fit a WCS to not be within the PG/CPU of frigs but still be available for use by larger hulls. This way, FW players finally get a solution against the WCS menace but not take away an option for the rest of the game.
I feel pretty indifferent towards the suspect timer when entering plexes. We're already in low sec so we can already attack each other in the middle of space without much consequence.
I would be careful about giving T4/T5 pay outs for killing war targets regardless of what tier your faction is in. Seeing as we have not yet seen any changes in FW in a post citadel world, we may be messing up / missing an opportunity to actually use the tier based pay outs to provide rewards that are in line with FW activities.
Clone discount? Yes please. That's a reasonable quality of life improvement that's not detrimental to the overall health of the warzone.
Thank you very much for your questions. |

Making an effort to increase your faction standings should mean something. Zero faction standings should mean zero added rewards.
Hopefully whenever CCP is ready to tackle revising the missioning system, they will put more weight in what content will be available based on faction standings. Of course this runs on the assumption that there will be added missions to the available pool. If we do find ourselves in such an environment, the LP stores will need to see revisions as well in order to provide sufficient rewards based on the added commitment. A motivator to commit to gaining faction standings (which could in turn decrease enemy faction standings) could be more unique faction items introduced to the LP stores that highlight attributes and lore of the respective faction.
Thank you for your question.

This game was based on having a balance in 'Risk vs Reward' and 'Actions vs Consequences' which makes this game great. Currently the only way to repair negative Faction standings is to grind missions. It takes time for players to ruin Faction standings and it should take some time to repair those standings. In the past Characters use to be accountable for their actions in-game, now most everything has been dumbed down and turned into easy mode for the instant gratification crowd. That's something I don't want to see happen to Faction standings.
Currently the in-game aspects of Faction standings : Positive Faction standings are the only way to access Cosmos Agents (one time access). Positive Faction and Corporation standings are needed to access Research Agents. All other Agents only require minimal amount of Faction standing for access (-2.00 or higher standing). High Faction standings reduce Market Broker fees and Reprocessing fees in NPC stations. At -5.00 or lower Faction standing, Empire NPC's will attack when in their space.
In my opinion CCP made a big mistake when they removed the need to have Faction standings to anchor POS in high sec space. I'd like to see more content pertaining to Faction standings be added to the game but at this time my inquiry is based more on the effects of negative Faction standings.
I created and shared the 'Faction Standing Repair Plan' with the playerbase back in 2010. In my opinion players need more options available to repair negative Faction standings then what I've listed in 'The Plan'. Most of those Event Agents can only be accessed once in the characters life. A lot of players in-game don't even read the forums so they don't know that guide is available. In fact repairing negative Faction standings is a big task for experienced players. New players who haven't even learned the game yet can easily mess up their Faction standings right from the start without even knowing it, resulting in no access to half of Empire space.
Anyway these are some options I think would help players in-game.
Faction standing repair process be implemented in-game to be very intuitive, not obscure (tutorial perhaps). Changes to Faction standings notify players with on screen pop up message (option to deactivate). Actions that would cause negative Faction standing trigger on screen pop up warning (option to deactivate). All Anti-Empire mission briefings have a warning to inform players those missions will incur negative Faction standings. Implement Tags for Standings in-game based on similar game mechanics as Tags for Security. Add NPC Agents to in-game Agent Finder for Faction standing repair (similar to proposal in my forum signature).
Once again good luck with the upcoming election.

We definitely could use more functionality with the corp shares mechanic. Right now it feels like corp shares were introduced with no clear vision as to how it should be used.
In the future I would like to see development of the corp shares feature along the lines of actually being a way to value the corporation that could distribute it. Execution will be difficult but moving towards getting corp shares in line with RL shares as a way to value a company would be great. Of course this would mean that it would have to be tradable and that in and of itself could be an interesting direction to start moving towards.
Before we can be in a place where corp shares could be tradable in the market, I'm afraid we'll have to address corp mechanics as a whole first. That may be the greatest technical barrier. If CCP is willing to take on that challenge then I would like to see corp shares become a tradable commodity.
Eve has so much potential for meta market play and corp shares is one example of that potential. As a CSM candidate, I would like to be there when CCP is ready to take steps towards that. |

07 Candidate!
First, thank you for your time and effort (both present and future) in representing the capsuleers of New Eden! TheyGÇÖre much appreciated.
IGÇÖm 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, thatGÇÖs 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 IGÇÖve 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? IGÇÖll 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, IGÇÖd 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. |

As far as ganking, I agree that it is a legitimate gameplay style and should remain. Mechanically, it's simple enough to accommodate. However, it should be a commitment to continue with style of play. This alone should curb too much hisec ganking. Unfortunately, the mechanic for repairing sec status would have to change in order to make this happen. I would recommend a timer that limits how often you can use tags to repair your sec status. Barring prolific hisec gankers, all other players should remain unaffected for the most part.
Concerning your recommendation to extend criminal flagging to looters, we need to find the limit in which to do this. Am I correct in thinking that you want those who handle the loot post initial gank and loot pick up should be flagged as criminal as well? I'm not sure how effective this will be since it could be easy enough to exchange loot in station and simply wait out the timer.
Much like how I view war dec mechanics, those who are successful in this business are those who know the nuance of the mechanic. It feels that we are constantly playing catch up when it comes to visibility and spreading knowledge on these. I do hope that this is addressed more comprehensively in the NPE so that new players coming in are aware, prepared, and less likely to be frustrated when it is applied to them.
Thank you for your question and thank you for being on the other side of the spectrum of the gankers and war dec aggressors like myself. We appreciate the balance that you bring.
