Tusker pirate, Marc Scaurus, of the blog, Malefactor, endorses Hans. So should the rest of you lowsec scumbags;
Quote:So far, I think Hans is the guy for us in lowsec. He lives in lowsec, fights in lowsec, etc. Granted, heGÇÖs FacWar, but he bares no ill will towards us outlaws, nor towards the bear population. He expresses himself well and is obviously passionate. He may be overserious (bonus question was more or less a joke/litmus test GÇô not serious business), but that is not a bad thing. I look forward to learning more about him in the coming weeks, but as it stands now, heGÇÖs the guy. Apparently, once you create a sig. You can't completely delete it. So this is my sig...for now. |

War-decs, outright griefing. In theory, they work. In practice, they are dirt cheap to (ab)use, and very expensive to fight. We'll never know how many players left the game entirely due to having their corps griefed by bored multi-year vets, unable to leave the station and play the game.
I'm not a game designer, and no one pays me the big bucks to solve these issues. I just play the game. So the more attention is given to these areas, the higher the chance something will be done to improve them. It sounds like Hans is the man.
War decs will always be more or less "griefing", because the aggressor is the one who gets to chose whether or not there will be PvP. Logically, they will only declare wars they think they can win or at least profit from (barring edge-case stuff like RP reasons). So the corp being war-dec'd will usually be at a disadvantage vs a stronger opponent (which is what gets called "griefing" these days, although you might as well say that cats "grief" mice because they pick on easy prey instead of something that would put up a fight, like a goat or something).
One possible addition that might prove useful to the wardec mechanism would be 'defensive treaties'. Industrial corp A makes a defensive treaty with Mercenary corp B in return for a regular weekly payment. So long as A maintain the payments, then any Wardec corp C which wardecs A will then also be automatically at war with B as well. But if A declares war on corp D, then B are not involved (of course they can still declare war in the normal way if A pay them).
Defensive treaties could be optionally private, meaning that declaring war would have some hidden risks, or public in which case they could act as either a deterrent or even an incentive, depending on the confidence of the wardeccers. Meanwhile, merc corps would be able to arrange a steady income for ongoing defensive contracts, placing a premium on reputation: a powerful merc corp should be able to sustain quite a few contracts, giving them a nice income for doing nothing.

Hell yeah, there are immense possibilities in an expanded contracts system, which I reckon something like this would fall in under .. a time limited protection agreement. So many things that can be "solved" by having a non-verbal agreement as pre-req.

Nerfing ECM down to the level of other EW forms is fine, you just need to come up with a secondary EW for Caldari. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

lol, I'd be happy if ECM was nuked from orbit, after being smashed repeatedly with the nerfbat. I'm just wondering what Hans' view is. |

I'll look into the PDF link...thanks for the heads up!
To answer your question, I think its fine for stations to shoot their own militias, if youGÇÖre committing a truly criminal act worthy of a GCC flag. What is NOT fine, is being able to hang out on the undock of an enemy station, and be ignored by station fire. Implementing station fire for opposing militias is a no-brainer FW upgrade in my book, because it adds a tangible and meaningful consequence to system occupancy without requiring fancy new shinies to be developed by the programmers. It can be done right away, and gives militia pilots and incentive to defend and seize territory in a way they sorely lack today.
On the subject of gate guns in low sec in general GÇô I am an outspoken proponent of the Jack Dant GÇ£what happens in lowsec stays in lowsec GÇ¥ proposal, which would waive GCC timers for negative security status pilots shooting each other in lowsec, and reduce the ability of outlaw attacks to lower security status to a cap of -2.0, should the attacks occur in low sec. This would attract more GÇ£weekend warriorsGÇ¥ and the casual PvP crowd, which might otherwise be adverse to PvP in lowsec if it means not being about to return to the trade hubs. Players could enjoy PvP on gates and stations in low sec more freely, without being forced into GÇ£time outGÇ¥ situations between what are essentially voluntary fights.

For those of us that fight in low sec, ECM is pretty powerful. We know that it only takes one Falcon to tie up as much as 4-5 ships, but at the same time Falcons continue to die plenty on the battlefield. Personally, I think that vulnerability and GÇ£the primary factorGÇ¥ are still pretty fair counters to the inherent strength of ECM. Especially when Caldari are still considered one of the GÇ£weakerGÇ¥ races in terms of overall balancing, IGÇÖm cautious (but certainly not opposed) to swinging a nerf bat at one of their strongest racial traits.
That being said, I have heard one proposal in particular I find to be pretty sensible. It pertains to the ability of ECM to GÇ£perma-jamGÇ¥ their targets, and would reduce the length of time on a jam based on the ratio of jam strength to sensor strength. In other words, if the jammer strength was 7, and the targetGÇÖs strength was 14, than the length of the jam cycle would be shortened by 7/14 ( or -+). Against very strong targets, ECM would serve more as a lock-breaker, rather than being able to jam a large target for long periods of time.
Such an adjustment would preserve the value of sensor strength, and have the added benefit of making Information Warfare link platforms like the Eos a more attractive addition to fleets. This is the best compromise IGÇÖve seen at reforming ECM, and stays true to the existing mechanics closely enough I think it has the least likely chance of breaking small-gang warfare by making a gamble with a more radical overhaul. This adjustment would scale to ECM drones as well, which wouldnGÇÖt be able to jam a target nearly as long, but could still do the job of occasional lock-breaking for escape purposes or cap chain interference.

Damn.
After reading the manifesto and this thread I realize I need more votes, as Hanz certainly deserves it. CCP is unable to implement simpliest things. Like settting to hide signatures. So they sweep it under a rug . Children do that in their pre-shool years, CCP does it being adults. Probably because it is fearless enough. |

Hans Jagerblitzen wrote:[..on ECM.. That actually is a very sensible concept .. But #1: You'd need to increase cycle time or else most BS would start out (before adding ECCM) near the half-time mark .. but that is a massive nerf to frigs/dessies and some cruisers who would be jammed 99% of the time unless they cram ECCM in 2-3 slots of which they tend to be short'ish (ie. Amarr ) plus it would favour midslot heavy ships to an extraordinary degree due to ECCM (mid) power vs. Arrays (low) (again hurting Amarr hulls).
Could be alleviated by tweaking BS sensor numbers to avoid having to increase cycle and introducing mods/rigs that add a static value to sensors rather than a +% which would be much more valuable for the low sensor hulls (cruiser down). The only way there currently is to harden a frig/dessie is to implant 350-600M (LG/HG FW sets) which is insane .. smaller hulls need more/affordable counters.
But #2: The mechanic would still require people to watch an Eve slide-show at regular intervals whenever targeted by ECM (this is my main problem with current ECM system).

Well yes. Every proposal is subject to its drawbacks and flaws, whether we're talking about ECM or the details of a war dec system. You bring up some excellent points that would certainly be part of that conversation if and when it comes.
Thanks again for all the love here everyone!! And please, tell your friends about this thread!
Anyone who'd like to be on our mailing list so you can receive and forward important announcements to your corp/alliance/community when the time comes to get out the vote, please get in touch with me ASAP.... Volunteer contacts from each corp are needed, mail me and I'll give you the details.
We're continuing to actively build our network - member by member, day by day!

No. True. The alliance feature is marginal and isn't what I consider a game changer. It helps but certainly doesn't fix the years of neglect of an area of the sandbox that can truly improve CCP's bottom line as well as bring more enjoyment for the pilots of New Eden
All the alliances that have joined FW are either current FW corps creating an alliance or RP alliances.
So the neglect continues....
EDIT: For those curious as to who the current FW alliances are. Off the top of my head;
- Villore Accords (existing Gallente FW corps forming this alliance)
- Drunk and Disorderly (same as above)
- Caldari State Capturing (existing Caldari corps forming )
- Late Night Alliance (existing Minnie FW corps)
- Electus Matari (RP Minnie alliance)
- Galllente Federal Concensus Outreach (RP Gallente alliance)

I was hoping there will be some people like you running for CSM7.
- I like that you tap on the community ideas instead of pursuing your own agenda.
- It's nice to see you're acknowledging people you borrow ideas from.
- I like how concrete your program is as opposed to a lot of general words.
- I like how you steer away from either extreme in regards to high-sec, and the gradient of rewards vs risk.
- Good to see you're not commenting on the areas of the game you have no idea about.
- I like how you factor in the amount of work needed to implement each feature.
- I'm delighted you prefer elegant simple solutions to large overhauls and can recognize one (as far as my own knowledge goes).
All in all even though I don't spend much time in either high-sec or low-sec, I think there should be more people from different walks of life in the new CSM and I like your program in particular. After all we may only have one year of CCP focus on FiS for all I know, and in this time we should bring as many problematic areas of the game to their attention as possible.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and join the discussion, Malcanis! This is precisely the sort of thing I envision when I discuss the need for a new "security economy" in high sec space. This would bring a much-needed element of risk into high sec war declarations, creating greater challenge for the aggressor and allowing greater degree of defensive flexibility for weaker corps.
What I don't see as being healthy for high sec space is a set of dec mechanics or aggression rules that specifically foster aggression for the sake of pure sport, or pure profit. High sec warfare offers combat pilots a safety provision you can't find anywhere else in the game - the ability to cherry pick who can fight you in return. Many complain that the laws surrounding high sec warfare are uncomfortable and restrictive, but I strongly believe that pilots seeking the lowest-risk form of PvP should also find it the least rewarding.
Worsening the situation is that long overdue economic balancing in low sec has pushed a lot of true piracy into high sec space, where blinged-out mission runners holding false expectations of security end up gutted for profit. A proper reward balance should entice the lucrative targets to venture into dangerous territory to increase their gains, so that the bulk of for-profit warfare occurs in the region it is supported best by the game mechanics.
I would love to see these problems approached systematically, tackling the underlying issues rather than spending an inordinate amount of time bickering about how to overhaul a complicated system (that, for the record, is already in the process of being overhauled). War dec reform is important, but "griefing" type predatory high sec PvP can be reduced the most by ensuring that highly attractive alternatives flourish next door in low sec space.

Well, the null sec bloc domination is a serious issue, but I promise to keep my froth under control.
The issue isn't with "evil null sec ppl" anyways, I have no hard feelings against any of the players themselves. I also believe that most of the 0.0 alliance leaders elected to the CSM govern with the best intentions.
However, no council member is immune to their own bias, so we must also secure a voice on the council that will fight to protect the interests of empire citizens.

There isn't any harm in asking, they can always have a laugh and say "No." A new physics engine is, admittedly, not the most efficient way to improve mining, we can probably better tackle the boredom factor by addressing the mineral distribution within the asteroids, and better tackle the botting problem by implementing a visual texture-based solution.
The reason I discussed asteroid movement is because developmentally, mining remains in such an infant state that it invites much more imaginative changes than other features. I wanted readers to have a sense for how I personally envision a more thrilling mining environment, despite there being obvious technical considerations. |

One big buff for lo-sec that I have long been in favour of is to remove the sec increase gained from killing 0.0 rats. You can't lose sec in 0.0, there's no need to improve it in 0.0, it's not a stat that's relevent to 0.0. It makes no more sense for sec to be gained from killing nullsec rats than it would to require minmatar standings to get the best refine rates in a minmatar player outpost. But instead, nullsec is far and away the best place to regain sec.
If sec could only be regained by killing rats in empire space, where sec status is actually relevant, then there would actually be a reason for people to be in lo-sec belts: it would be the best place to regain sec (in fact the only place for those whose sec is below -5.0), and we'd once again see people actually belt ratting in low.
Of course, lo-sec belt ratting is more dangerous than nullsec ratting, so this idea is frequently opposed by players who believe they should be able to gank anyone in hi-sec, but they shouldn't in turn be exposed to risk in lo-sec. Genuine pirates are all in favour of it. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Belts should spawn, get mined out, and despawn. Static belts that grow make no sense anyway. There should be more reliance on the Survey Scanner, one way to do this is to have diminishing returns on yield. Keep miners busy, require some intelligence to get a decent yield, and have something shooting at you all the time; asteroid belts should be a great place for criminals to hang out. They should have bars there.
PvE should have fewer ships that act more like real ships. There's no real scenario where you warp up to a bunch of ships and start shooting one of them and they don't all target you. CCP should quite literally fit these ships like real ones and use real established tactics to attack and defend, which in turn would require the player to use real PvP to oppose them.
And my personal pet peeve: industry requires too much math, paper, and spreadsheets, it's like a job for a computer... Allow players to easily calculate all the resources for a job without using the Manufacturing dialog, if you have no free slots you can't even see if you can build one print, let alone 10.
Oh, and Hans for CSM 7 - Read the manifesto!

I agree, this is totally lame and senseless, which is why I included it in my platform. It's an easy fix and a great buff to empire space. I get tired of seeing Faction Warfare pilots take 0.0 trips to restore negative sec hits, instead of being able to do the same just as effectively in their own backyards (where CONCORD actually cares what goes on, unlike 0.0) This is a change you'll hear my pushing for should I be elected to CSM7.

Agreed, though the "great place for criminals" should apply more to low sec than to high sec. I think high sec should offer normal yields and the least likelihood of a gank attack, while low sec should offer increased yields for mining operations but require more scouting or armed escort to pull off successfully.
Otherwise, the respawning of belts and dynamic distribution of mineral within the roids (navigable with the scanner) are pretty common sense mining improvements I hope CCP considers. Missed an interview or debate? Check my CSM7 blog for details.
Many thanks to all of my friends and supporters for the kind words! |

There should be more reliance on the Survey Scanner, one way to do this is to have diminishing returns on yield.

They should have bars there. I disagree a few of these points. There should be belts that spawn but I believe that a system wide belt that requires you to scan down and find better yield asteroids would be much more "epic." Survey scanners I believe should tell you exactly what it does now i.e. how much of whatever mineral is in the asteroid. Also they should have all the names of the asteroids as "Asteroid" so you need to look at or use a survey scanner to determine what type of mineral you will get. Mining is usually considered as a semi afk activity and there are lots of out crys that I've seen saying that they want it to stay more or less that way. It is a fairly relaxed profession and should reflect that, leave the high isk out in low/nul where people are much more willing to pay attention and aren't doing homework/cooking/laundry or what have you. By all means voice any and all concerns about mining in the thread below. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=59357&find=unread |

As much as i would rather terminate that respawning clone of yours Hans ! I give you my support for CSM 7 |
