Edited by: Myxx on 30/04/2010 14:40:29 For the record, I spend the majority of my time in highsec doing production and mining. I do, however, at times rat and salvage in lowsec.
Right now, the reason I don't do that all of the time is that it simply isn't as profitable in the long run and just isn't worth the risk to do all of the time.
so, how do you fix it without screwing high/null sec over?
Increase faction/t2/whatever loot drops from lowsec rats, increase BS/cruiser spawn frequency and increase bounty amounts - or simply vastly increase frequency for all of it. Along with that, increase salvage drops, and what drops from it. With the changes in tyrannis making t1/meta1 module drops refine to less minerals than currently, its going to make it even less worthwhile to go and rat in lowsec, and then bother to get all of the goods back to highsec.
Mining and POS management in lowsec is a joke and I cant even fathom considering either, because the risk is again just not worth the reward.
What else could you do? Make camping stations harder, give me several undocking points to potentially come out of and give me a chance to get away if I so choose to undock.
It would also help if people actually honored ransoms, as right now, I may as well go down fighting instead of giving isk and having a stupidly low chance to survive because people choose to not keep their word.
Edit: It also occurred to me that claimed nullsec is actually 'safer' if you're apart of a corp that lives in nullsec, than if you live in lowsec. For all intents and purposes, lowsec is infact no sec. The only real difference is that you cant claim it and do several things with it that can be done in nullsec. That might be something to consider changing a bit along with the above. and, if it helps any, I got rid of that annyoing line in my sig. |

As for the mission/mineral ideas i would like to petition CCP to add further lvl4 missions that give better rewards which can only be completed in lowsec.
That won't work alone. Raising mission payouts won't bring people. It's too easy to find people in missions. To avoid getting ganked in a mission you have to literally spam the scan button. This is stupid and boring. It's much easier for the carebears to stay in highsec.
As it is right now mission running is heavily weighted toward the pirate side. Carebears aren't stupid. They won't come until they have a better chance of escaping.

Originally by: Mr Jolly Joining an alliance should cost significant isk. I think corporations leaving an alliance during war then joining back up without penalties is really bad mechanics. One should have to pay anywhere from 100-200mil to join an alliance. If they want to leave and come back and repay the fees...then I can live with that.
I beleive that wars should be issued in the begining like a contract would. The declaring corp needs to add any term of surrender etc.
Would you support this idea?
Good ideas, I would definately bring these to the table.
At least try and hide the shill. I was hopefully until I reached this point.

This makes no sense. Training skills happens at the same rate regardless if you play or not.

Yes I know. That's the problem. We know your CEO likes you. If they didn't you wouldn't be in their corp.
He's a biased source. A yes man. A shill. Having them say they endorse you is meaningless. Throwing up posts for you to post contentless I agree replies to is jsut tacky.
What I meant is that I was hopeful you would be a good lowsec candidate. Then I read the shill posts. As I said before. We know your corp likes you. Having them in the thread is simply noise. We have to ignore everything they say because they are your corp mates.
Also since I'm already posting. 30 loses? That means you're just a ganker. Fighting takes skill, has risk, has loses. Ganking just requires hitting F1.

My corp m8s raise good points which i agree with, insinuating they are shills is nonsense as there is no subterfuge. Plus only one of my corp members has commented on this thread so it's hardly noise.
As for ganking, that's what a pirate is supposed to do. Do you honestly think i can take 1200+ kills without risk? As for skill, you try and make 1200+ kills with only 30 losses ...then we can talk.

Originally by: Laedy Do you have another alt that you pvp with? Because it doesn't seem like you've been very active in the game in the last year or so. Also, you've only ever lost 30 ships ever??? I don't think I could trust someone who hasn't lost at least a few hundred ships to represent pvp'ers/pirates in the CSM
I think you have the wrong idea about Piracy/PvP. The aim is to never lose anything while destroying the enemy! If i saw a pirate that had lost a few hundred ships i would think they are a terrible pirate and need to get out of lowsec because it ain't working.
I have only ever lost 30 ships ever and i have only ever been podded twice! I have over 1200 kills! I think that is a good record in anyone's book. The last five ships, i lost in 0.0 due to some bad FCs stranding us in systems. To be self sufficient in lowsec piracy you cannot afford to lose anything and have to be aware at all times.
I'm sure my response is going to be interpreted the wrong way, but I do intend this to be a respectful and legitimate discourse.
I think there is an aspect to piracy and low-sec pvp that you are missing: it's not all about the Benjamins, baby. Many PvPers do it not for the loot, but for the thrill of it - the ~good fights~
I may have lost more Drakes in the last three months than you've lost ships, but I've also personally inflicted more kills and dealt more ISK damage than your entire corporation. Now, ultimately that really doesn't matter and doesn't make me a better CSM candidate. But what I am curious about is the issue that you gracefully side-stepped: you have three kills (none in lowsec) in the calendar year. As a player who touts himself "The ONLY Lowsec Candidate" you haven't been active there, you told a pretty well respected PvPer that he had the wrong idea about PvP, and seem to think lowsec PvP is all about the ganks.
Really I don't mean to come across as a jerk who is calling you out, but I feel as if these questions are all extremely valid; the CSM is plagued by the notion that its ranks are filled with people who are out of touch or inactive. How would you respond to these criticisms?

They're your corp mates. That makes them biased. That's the definition of shill. That means we have to ignore them. It's just that simple.
Easy just sit on a gate and pop things you outnumber. Warp into misisons and pop things you out number. Hell sit near a farmer hub and take out haulers for a while. Combine with the fact that all these kills are self reported. Racking up kills is not an accomplishment in EvE. Racking up respect is. That's why the shill posts are so disheartening.

The definition of shill is a person being fraudulent to persuade other people to their cause, etc. There is no fraud here. Plus you refer to 'them'? When there is only one person posting from my corp and he has only posted three times, ...again, hardly noise.
I know you're just trolling but let me respond again to your definition of piracy. What you describe is 100% true, i will never partake in a fair fight, i will never take on superior numbers, i will make sure i win every encounter by any means necessary and make sure i make the maximum amount of profit from every gank and ransom! I AM A PIRATE and i do this to make money! Period. I do not care about fame, reputation or the victim and i do not care about you. I crave loot and i will smash any vunerable target to get it! Sometimes i gank noobs just to hear them scream. Everyone outside our alliance/corp is a target, we have no blues, you fall into my web and your another notch on my ship and more isk in my pocket!
I am running for the CSM to help out my kind not to pander to carebears like you! I don't care if you vote for me or not, i'm not going to beg. Vote for whom ever represents your interests, if i don't move on. We have no room for your kind here.
Plus, why don't you post with your main?

1200 kills with only 30 loses is not really that hard if you are just camping gates all day and blobbing easy to gank targets with five or ten buddies. Looks like the bulk of your kills are i a high sec boarder system and 420 of those 1200 are pods and a ton of noob ships. This screams gate camper to me and not really impressive.
Sorry to say but that kind of PVP is what is wrong with low sec these days.

You seem to be unable to respond to criticism or to argue your position when asked reasonable questions. How do you think this will affect your ability to function in the CSM and in face to face meetings with CCP?
As an aside, you also don't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'risk', but that's by the by.

Shorter GCC timers would be nice, but more importantly is for CCP to actually fix aggro timer issues.
My beautiful Cynabal got probed out and killed after I'd logged off mid-warp with NO visible timers :( I don't mind that it died so much, more that it died without the glorious fight it deserved.
My personal hatred of cloaks is something harder to address and has nothing to do with people consistently bringing Rapier buddies to ambush my frigates and 'ceptors :p
Docking games need to be addressed as well as hotdropping as these two things cause plenty of emo-rage and macho posturing.
I'd reduce the docking ring on all stations and increase the kick-out BUT only if there were some way of checking outside the station first to allow people to make a tactical decision about undocking into a station camp. No more could people undock trimarked Navy mega's with carrier support with total impunity and conversely no longer could you simply camp stations and over-gank haulers.
As for hotdrops well my solution for this is likely VERY controversial: I'd change cyno mechanics so that a cyno field needs to be active for a set amount of time before it can be locked onto and jumped to, as opposed to the instant jump that happens now. Covops ships and recons would receive a bonus to reduce this timer (possibly to zero for the recons at the very least). This means that if you want instant hotdrops you no longer get to use disposable Kestrel alts to do it and you need ships capable of holding tackle and surviving your intended victim's return fire until your capships can jump.
