Day 3 Summary
Factional Warfare
CCP reviewed CSM's prepared FW summit notes and there was an in-depth discussion on things that need to be tweaked in FW. CCP is committed to further work on FW to polish the work done in Inferno.
We got a demo of some FW UI improvement designs that look very nice.
There was a broad discussion of what to do if one faction steamrolls another. CCP's general position is that they want to wait and see if this becomes an issue, and in the meantime will address issues that clearly need immediate attention.
Art Presentation
The Art department made a presentation on the recent work that they have been doing, and what they will be working on in the near future, including new ship destruction effects, ship redesigns, new ships, ship appearance customization, and more.
Ship Balance & Iteration
CCP Ytterbium presented his plans for changes to basically every subcap hull in the game and got CSM feedback. He's been very busy.
Treaties
A ninja session to discuss possible treaty implementations, which would provide the means for corporations and alliances to make contracts about standings, taxation, rental fees, etc. Treaties were originally going to be a part of Dominion but got dropped due to resource constraints.
This concept may possibly be combined with an iteration on the current contracts system.
Content
Discussed short-term changes to the tutorial, upcoming reversions on some of the recent incursion changes (too many things were changed at once), improvements to Concord LP store, live events.
Security
We received a report on the recent trends in bot-detection and banning.
"New" Player Experience / "New Player" Experience
Goal of TeamPE is to make playing EVE even more fun. We dove into a discussion of the NPE, mentoring newbies, making EVE better for noobs, and in particular stuff that would improve the game for everyone. A big focus was better methods of finding and presenting information, and answering questions (ie: "what do I need to do to fly an Interceptor properly?")
EVE Economy
Graph p*rn! Dr. EyjoG updated the CSM on the state of the EVE economy.
