Excuse me for not talking to the candidates personnaly, but i didnt find another way then posting here without having to register on 33 forums to find out the candidates opinion on this.


So i was gonna vote for Jade and Hardin, but This
could change my top list.

To make it short, who of the candidates is for, and who is against the program i linked and similiar software which limit certain aspects of the game, in this situation PvP besides Pos warfare and give you a significant advantage over the ones who dont use them.
Thx in advance.

Any CSM against BACON is a ++ for me. I don't care wtf you think about missions, pos, small gang pvp if you are against this game-breaking application then you're miles ahead of any other candidates in my eyes.

While the software might give you small leverage it's the local channel that's the underlying problem.
I don't really like having to scroll the local channel all the time either. ugh

Local is a troubled mechanic to which a better solution has not been conceived. BACON takes it to a new level; now you don't even have to pay attention.

I don't like the idea of the BACON program really - it strikes me as being too "macro-y" ie making basic precautions and spacial awareness automatic. If it was my choice I'd warn people off this. However, it will probably be rendered obsolete when local chat is removed/restricted in some way. But its fair to say I'm "anti-Bacon" - since its dumbing down an aspect of the game and making it even easier to avoid non-consensual pvp in 0.0 and lowsec (+ concord wars).

I do by no means think bacon is cool.

It's a very big workaround, but it would do the same task as reading directly from the memory, which is bad.

So i hope that CCP will change their EULA/TOS accordingly.

This reminds me of the time when all channels used to notify everyone in them by text as to who was coming and going. But that still wasn't anywhere near as invasive as this. Or are people just expected to cross their fingers and hope that their target doesn't have their speakers on, now? ugh

The only reason I could support this being allowed is if CCP can identify those characters using it and assess their behaviour a little more closely for other more suspicious activity. But even if that were possible, I imagine that those types would catch on pretty quickly so its usefulness in that regard would be limited at best.

It's a clear nerf to the risk factor outside of high-sec Empire, and as such I see it as a precedent that's just too dangerous to ought to be allowed. The game is already more "dumb" than it should be without making it worse with tools like this.

What is being passed off here is large alliances keeping the advantage of having such tools private and quasi secret. BACON brings them to the masses, in an OPEN SOURCE format. Tools of this nature are being used against thousands of players BY people posting BAN BACON messages in this very thread and in others. Period.
Ok, you brought complete crap to the masses.

How long before every single ISK farming Raven has this installed? War targets? Forget ever getting within range unless you happen to jump through the same gate they're warping to.

Complete utter crap... It already takes long enough to find fight without having to go 1vs10 ugh

CONCORD has locked the original thread so I can't see what BACON is/was, however the Beetracker program looks like 2 things to me:
1) An attempt by players to add to the UI where it is lacking
2) Unbalanced that a specific group of players only should have access to the tool.

On the point of balance .. does everyone remember when Portraits were being replaced with +ve/-ve images in the client cache? This was a high-demand feature not present in the client. So now, it's implemented in the client for everyone.

IMO, it should be implemented for all, or not implemented at all. Evil or Very Mad Whether "implemented for all" is a good case, is up for debate Wink

Because I've actually caught a few that were either not paying attention or watching one of their other farming accounts. They do cloak/log when they notice someone in local, but that's only if they notice you YARRRR!!

Removing Local is a complicated and delicate issue. I'm for removing Local, but not without replacement- and as yet, I've not heard a single good idea for what will replace Local. Local is not just a powerful intel tool, it's THE ONLY real time intel tool; Local needs removing and replacing with a more realistic, limited intel tool.

Removing BACON has no such problems. If you're for removing Local, you should be for removing BACON.

ISK per hour is all that matters to them. At their end this translates into:

"How many clients can one operator operate before ship safety and reaction time become issues with a negative effect on income?"


So, like you say, maybe they already wrote their own tool. Maybe not and they'll start using this one. In either case it's a bad thing. It allows one person to manage more machines. It means ISK farmers are more likely to form corporations to take advantage of the related benefits (because people who've war-decced them will now be 'audible').

As infiltrated as goonfleet is there's no reason why everyone shouldn't have access to beetracker by now, so practically speaking your point is moot.

CSM candidate here.

I'm against any 3rd party program that gives a significant advantage to its users compared to those that do not use the program. It basically forces people to use the program if they want to participate in the top levels of the game.

I know what happens if noone *****s down on this stuff, in Ultima Online it was compulsory to use programs that spammed movement requests to the server or make the client tick faster and thus send more movement commands, so your character would always run faster than those without the program. If you wished to participate in PVP, you had to have one of these programs. The staff never undertook action against those using the program, so it got completely out of hand, and now almost every PVPer there is using this trash. We don't want those situations to arise in Eve, thus for the good of all, the Bacon program and similar utilities must be blacklisted.

I understand that scrolling through the local channel isn't really a nice mechanic either, but if you want changes to the interface and feedback, then suggest them, so they become available for everyone when they are officialy implemented.

As far as I can see BACON is simply an audio version of local. The problems are inherent with Local and the need for players to find others / conceal themselves.

Im reminded of Winterblinks comment on his warp drive active pod cast - picture the scene where a PC blurts out a warning - hubby crashes through the kitchen barging wife out of the way shouting 'Out of the way woman! My internet spaceship is in danger!'

Dont like the principles behind this new app, or what itl potentially mean for PvP in EVE (another step to PvP being only between "PvPers" like in most MMOs). That said, if its not breaking any rules then nothing can really be done, especially if its now gone open source meaning unless CCP specifically ban its application & anyone using it (how to prove that?) theres no way for it to be gotten rid of.

My view is here. If you nerf something like local which is crying out to be fixed anyway, give something back. Spy satellites and perimeter beacons could be used for fleet tracking etc. Anyway, it's a thought.

IMO, it should be implemented for all, or not implemented at all. Evil or Very Mad Whether "implemented for all" is a good case, is up for debate Wink






If CCP wants it implemented they will put it in the program, and add a checkbox in the options window to turn it on, or off. Third party tools are not the answer.

This also works directly into your maps. If everyone cannot have access to the new information that is coming out ahead of schedule for those that purchased the maps and leave others without it, that is also unfair.

The more pertinant question is what does Kevin Bacon think about the CSM.

Who cares what csm candidates think they are all scammers just using this to try to get ppl to trust them so they can scam them.

We seriously need a sticky bacon thread. Horrid though that sounds.

CCP has mentioned time and time again that even they think local chat is flawed. Making an application that enhances a tool that the devs don't actually support is rather strange.

But look at it this way. When local finally gets removed, everyone who's depended on this application will be weeded out anyway, because they can't be bothered to play properly.

I was going to mention that this would be a perfect political move for CSM candidates to jump on.

As far as I can see BACON is simply an audio version of local. The problems are inherent with Local and the need for players to find others / conceal themselves.


I coudln't said it bettar myself.

A candiate that comes out and says definitivly they would rather advocate scrapping local as is even without a scanning replacement rather than have it continue vulnerable to BACON/Beetracker like abuses

There is no such thing as Civil war, especially when Caldari are involved.

The forums are where most do their pvp.

A projection would be difficult as Tri prices are still trying to stabilize. On top of that, a majority of the mineral demands are from combat pilots, not miners anyway.

True but pvpers arnt 100% of the demand. If roaming gangs never catch anything, no one is replacing any ships except for unavoiable POS related fights or the odd engagement where the offensive force doesnt scout worth a damn.

EDIT: couple that with the fact that those not having to replace their ships are pulling in ore and isk at afk rates flooding market. It's a problem.

I'm not a candidate, but I'm not sure I could support one who is in any way in favour of this.

Logging should only be available on test builds of the client.
