Hi, my name is Kale Kold, i'm the author of the Pirate Ledger Killboard and a five year veteran of EVE.
Over the years i have been there, seen it, done it and got the t-shirt. I feel now that the time is right to give something back! To represent the lowsec player-base in the Council of Stellar Management, to use my experience to put lowsec player issues to CCP.
I want to see lowsec more desireable for the highsec population, whether that's through mineral re-allocation or mission creep. I want to see lowsec more populated by the people who wouldn't necessarily go there. I want to make sure piracy is recognised as the valuable isk sink it is and that pirates are recognised as providers of risk and adrenaline in the game. I want to represent YOU!
The Larkonis Trassler Affair After voting for and reading about the discraceful actions of Larkonis Trassler i feel i need to say a few words. I voted for Larkonis to be the voice of lowsec and piracy and to represent us in the CSM. He betrayed that trust by using the position for personal gain. Although his actions were a very nice piece of piracy, it didn't do much in the way of representation of the lowsec community. I promise i will not act in this way. I am sincere in the fact that i want to address the issues of lowsec and piracy. I want to make sure im in the CSM for the duration in order to hassle them to take a look at our issues. I want us heard and i will not let any of my voters down!
Your vote is a very valuable piece of trust, i do not take it lightly! I know what my responsibilities will be and i go in with my eyes open and my mind firm.
I WILL REPRESENT YOU!
So without further ado, if you've got an issue that's driving you nuts? Let me know! Fed up of some in-game mechanic? Mail me! I am here to help and to represent you and the lowsec community to CCP.
- I am a five year veteran of EVE
- I have spent nearly 2 years as a -10.0 pirate in lowsec
- I want to give piracy a boost and to be recognised as extremely valuable to EVE
- I want to give lowsec a boost and to get more people visiting
- I will put forward informed dialogue about YOUR issues
- I will revisit older issues and bugs
- I will make sure YOU are heard by CCP
Vote for someone who knows your pain, someone who's experienced your issues and understands them. Vote for someone who will represent YOUR interests on the Council of Stellar Management. Vote for someone who will present these issues for informed discussion.
Vote for a say on the future of EVE
Vote for KALE KOLD in the 5th CSM elections.

Hi Kale,
you state that you want to improve lowsec and piracy, but you do not provide any details about how you would go about improving this. From what I have seen of CSM members in the past those with ideas but not solutions tend to have their issues get pushed to the side by CSM members that have specific changes and not just conceptual ones.
A couple of the ideas you have expressed are mineral re-allocation and mission creep (I assume you either mean highsec agents giving missions in lowsec or moving the best agents out to lowsec). What specific mechanics would you lobby to have changed?

I like what you have to say Kale, but who are you? The pirate community is so small that practically everyone knows eachother and I have not heard of you or your corp.
Where do you run? Tell the tales of your exploits and what you would consider to be piracy etc.

What is this crap? An honest pirate? How do you expect to represent our needs if you arent planning to lie, cheat, and steal your way through the CSM?
Besides, CCP doesnt care about low-sec. Pirates are the gingers of EVE. We are interfering with their intentions to expand their way into the space equivalent of Hello Kitty online.

Hi Khul, let me explain a little better.
I have quite a few ideas written down about how to improve the situation in lowsec and to get more people to populate those areas. The trouble is i don't want this to be about what i want, i would rather be a representative for the C&P community as a whole and put forward your ideas. So over the next few weeks i will be gathering ideas and issues to raise with CCP once elected.
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. A lvl4.5 npc pirate focused mission if you will. Also i would also petition the council to make certain ores more populus in lowsec and decreased in 0.0/hisec. We can't just move lvl4 missions and ores to lowsec as this would have a detrimental effect on the economy but we can massage the figures.

Hi VicturusTeSaluto, remember EVE is a big place and noone knows everybody.
You do however raise a good point so let me give you a little background for people who don't know me. I started pirating in 2007 after joining a newly formed corp (VIRUS) which was created by ex-Black Rabbit members. VIRUS was a 100% lowsec piracy corp for a long time until recently going into high and joining the REPO (industries) alliance doing merc contracts. Today we are an independant hisec piracy/war deccing corp. We are currently taking a month or so off for recruiting/reorganisation.
I have had a very successful pirating career all over the EVE universe in many regions. I have always been 100% self sufficient through lowsec piracy and i'm currently a multi-billionaire many times over from my conquests. Over the last year or so i have corp hopped to find more action and get more experience in PvP and piracy but now i'm back to my roots in VIRUS. Here are a couple of killboard links which prove my credentials:

Would you support a mechanic change whereby out-of-corp remote reppers will not only be flagged to the pilot that is aggressing the ship that the RR is repping, but also that the RR will be locked out of docking / jumping as if they had directly aggressed?

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.
Also, In real world scenario there are "Terms of surrender" when in fact a party surrenders. 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.
I'm sure there will be many that will cry foul about this idea. but war is hell and you just don't take a vacation while is going on and come back when it's over.
Would you support this idea?

I would add that in the war contract portion, if a "term of surrender" is added, then the corp/alliance making the contract has to pay a fee as well to reduce "frivolous" war dec demands.

I would change lowsec in a way that sometimes Concord would show up on a certain % ^^ and sometimes not. 0,1 being very unlikely and 0,4 being more likely... in that way there would be not a sooo harsh cut between 0.5 and 0.4 and the carebears would feel a bit safer/ visit lowsec more

I kind of agree with that post in that we need to give people more help with lowsec to make sure they at least stand a chance of getting through the gate! I propose some small changes to allow people better intel of a lowsec system before entering.
If you refer to this thread i outline a few proposals of the top of my head. I am, however, always open to suggestion. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1307310
I thoroughly agree we need to make a few small changes to allow people to feel safer when entering lowsec, but at the same time we dont want to nerf the pirate's ability to gank. I think we just need to achieve some sort of balance.
At the minute piracy is dying and has been over the last few years as a result of other changes, we need to address this and implement some way of providing an incentive to visit lowsec. I have collected a few ideas and working on an overall proposal.
Remember i represent you, give me your ideas and we'll get 'em on the table on the CSM!

There's some really good material in that thread, mostly on page 2 and 3. It would be worth giving a look, quite a few ideas tossed around. Some good, some bad, but it would be worth the time to peruse.

I think he is referring to the problem of Sentry Guns shooting drones/fighters if you have GCC.
If Sentry guns didn't do this then it would be a huge boon to pirates everywhere as A) pirates would now be able to use drone ships as pirate ships (Dominix, Ishtar, Myrm, Vexor), and B) pirates would have the advantage of actually being able to employ their drones and get some added DPS instead of having to ignore drone DPS output in EFT calculations completely.
Not being able to use your drones while fighting on a gate, particularly solo, is a big drawback to being a pirate. Fighters doubly so.
Also, if you have to ask about this question, are you sure you're the right person to be representing pirates everywhere? -

I see, tbh i've never even thought about this because me and my corp only use ewar drones in emergencies and never dps drones on the gate for this very reason. We always assumed people just adapt and fly other ships, etc...
Originally by: Bellum Eternus Also, if you have to ask about this question, are you sure you're the right person to be representing pirates everywhere?
I think i'm the perfect person to represent you, otherwise i wouldn't ask for your issues or your opinion and i would just dictate to you what i stand for. Make no mistake i am here to represent you! If you want someone else to do that job you have your vote, but good luck in finding a sympathetic ear for pirates/lowsec in the CSM without me.

Don't get me started on sentry guns and drones..
Sentry Drones shooting drones puts some ships at a unfair disadvantage. As a heavy user of drone ships, the fact that my main weapon system can be blown up, by sentry guns puts me at a disadvantage to every other ship in the game.
Name any other ship in the game besides a drone boat, that can have it's weapon system destroyed by another player or sentry gun. Having Sentries stop shooting drones would finally put drone boats on a "level" playing field with every other ship in the game when it comes to piracy.
As far as buffs for pirates, we don't need any, we just need more people in low sec but while doing that, somehow manage to get rid of the blobs.

not all weapons are the same. once you get them aggro'd, drones still function 100% when : controlling ship is jammed / tracking disrupted / damped and loses lock / neuted and capped out.. doesn't sound like too bad a disadvantage. no other weapons system also makes the gate guns cycle off your ship while you have gcc either.

Neuting still affects the main ship as does jamming.
If you don't get your drones on the target before being jammed they will not auto aggro. If Im' being jammed and they start shooting my drones once I pull my drones to break their target lock my drones will no auto aggro once relaunched. Meanwhile FoF missiles can still shoot for example.
All ships that carry drones have the ability to tank gate guns by use of their drones, but only drone boats lose the majority of their DPS while doing it.
Considering the major drone race is Gallente whom racial guns are blasters, neuting will also turn off the secondary weapon system. Projectiles and Missiles, have no draw backs in regard to neuting, only Blasters & Lasers do making the argument neuting irrelevant in regard to advantages of drone boats. (specially since the Myrmidom for example is a bonused repping ship, the neuting will kill it's ability to rep)

i would like to second or third the sentry guns don't pop drones ideas.
aswell as giving rise to such issues like losses in droneboat damage and such. Assuming you never lose ships you still have to pay high costs of maintaining a full set of tech 2 (they dont costs much singuarly but in the long term u paying 20-30 million in drones a week. which cuts into profits).
other ships that don't use drones for there main damage are able to use cheaper tech 1 drones as extra buffer in there tanks.
to ensure no damage is done to high sec i suggest this change only effect sentry guns as i read concord now targets drones to help with suicide gankers ( i don't understand how that works but i appreciate it does.)
my thoughts on the subject anyway

I disagree. I think the other EWar drones should be given a buff to put them in line with ECM drones. Honestly, they're not all THAT powerful and the ship using ECM drones is giving up a good chunk of DPS to do so.

Kale Kold
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
Anyways, in your post in Jita Park forum, you suggested "implementing" a lot of new things to encourage people into low sec. There's so much that needs to be looked at in terms of low sec, before going and implementing all the stuff you suggested. My advice is to keep it simple. Deal firstly with a few important issues, fixing bugs and the stuff people have been complaining about for years.

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.
See any pilot on our killboard for good kill ratios http://virus.griefwatch.net/
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 haven't been very active with this account in the last few months to focus on training skills and using my alt. But now im back for good with Kale and we are going to sort out lowsec and wardeccing!
Originally by: Laedy My advice is to keep it simple. Deal firstly with a few important issues, fixing bugs and the stuff people have been complaining about for years.
That is my plan. Tell me your issues!

"I want to see lowsec more desireable for the highsec population, whether that's through mineral re-allocation or mission creep."
Cool, so you'll petition CCP to completely change the combat mechanics so that fitting a ship for PVE is the same as fitting a ship for PVP. IMHO that's the only solution to the lowsec population issue, and if the game mechanics are not changed so that they are equal then here is how I translate your statement:
"Pirates need more easy targets"...

"Add an hour of invulnerability after being accepted to a lowsec corp to get stuff moved in"
hahaha you really put this into print.. where can i sign up?
also, 'mission creep' is just a roundabout way of saying you'd force pve oriented folks into lo sec, albeit gradually and gently. like having a stick shoved up your ass, albeit gradually and gently. won't work, most people wouldn't pay for something like that. the best lvl 4's are already in low / null sec, ever wonder why there's no stampede of players into those systems?
the changes needed to get low sec more populated would result in a flood of tears, the likes of which haven't been seen since wtz.
personally i suggest you mission creep your name out of the hat. invulnerability lol tnx for that anyway..

Kale's stats look better to me and members of our corp than frakin El'Tar and El'Tar isn't running. I know I would rather trust someone for CSM that is successful as far as PvP profit goes, but killboard stats aside, if you can support moving some if not all lvl 4 missions into low-sec, and support 'mineral re-allocation or mission creep', I think you got the support of RGHT, if they care about CSM stuff , or unless we find someone better.
As far as making it easier for high-sec people to move into low-sec and easier for them to survive, hell no, a key element to successful piracy from my experience would be surprise. Taking that away would make piracy much more difficult when it comes down to profit.
I'm seeing lots of stuff from carebears thinking pirates just want more easy targets, not really, I know my corp just wants more targets, easy or not. If you are an easy target or consider yourself an easy target, you fail anyways and deserve to die and learn from your mistake, and damn sure don't deserve to make more ISK than those taking risks in low-sec or even 0.0. Whatever the hell you do in Eve, it should always be a goal not to be an easy target. Eve is a teamwork game, with an emphasis on PvP, whether that is market interaction, or sovereignty claims, or even low-sec piracy.
Moving through low-sec by yourself and with no scout is not a great idea, and shouldn't be, and pirates make that so. Considering pirates prefer to avoid the blob and operate in small gangs, you could actually group together and take on pirates, you just gotta be smart about it, which should be required if you want to take the risks to make the ISK. I remember many times backing up to let large gangs with juicy targets roll through because they simply had more numbers or better ships than us. Bring your ships fitted for PvP for when the time comes, and bring your PvE ships after the location is secure (if you have the capability and friends necessary to secure it) to run your missions.
Making low-sec resources more profitable in every way than High-sec would be outstanding in RGHT's books. I believe (may be very wrong) that a CSM guy may not have that much of a say in that kind of a change. However, if you are a CSM guy that would support getting High-sec players to team up, and working together to take risks to make ISK in low-sec, and make piracy more attractive to players than it currently is, than I support ya.

No, i wouldn't force this at all because i know there is a majority of people who engage in hisec PvE so forcing them simply won't work. What i'm proposing is slightly decreasing the amount of lvl4 missions (only very very slightly mind) in hisec and introducing much more in lowsec which have a higher chance of dropping faction loot.
Basically, if i want to get more people to try and make a living in lowsec i need to propose easier ways of making good isk in lowsec and making more people feel safe there, not forcing people to do my bidding.

Thanks!

That's exactly what im proposing. But i want to make the changes very small to begin with because i don't want to upset the economy or make the carebears miserable, they do pay to play the game for fun too. As above, i would only seek to make a small change just to make lowsec a viable money making alternative and try and provide an incentive to venture there as currently there is none.

He, a true pirate! I just propose to help them with intel, either by providing better lowsec information in the help or by providing a way of gauging a systems population before jumping in.

I will promise all of C&P now with my heart that i will harrass the CSM to be heard and i will put forward balanced and informed arguments for addressing lowsec issues, i promise i will make us heard!

Originally by: Godfroi ...I'm seeing lots of stuff from carebears thinking pirates just want more easy targets, not really, I know my corp just wants more targets, easy or not...
Disclaimer: I am a mission runner, at the moment. But that doesn't stop me from looking at the game from a PVP perspective (I have engaged in PVP a few times).
If you don't change the game mechanics to make ship fitting the same for both PVE and PVP then you ARE asking for easy targets. There's no way a PVE fit ship is going to take down a PVP fit ship if both pilots are competent...
PVPers also need to get out of the mindset that Eve is a game that's meant only for PVP. If that were really the case then there wouldn't be any PVE aspect at all. The minerals that are used to build the ship your flying right now were either obtained by a miner, or a mission runner like me who reprocesses most of the loot into minerals. Eve isn't about PVP, it's about all types of players driving the economy and keeping the game going. If you can't think outside the box then you'll never be able to fix the areas where the player base isn't driving the game...
Mission runners don't go into lowsec because they know that they don't stand a chance -especially when they're in a ship outfitted for PVE instead of PVP. Trying to find ways to encourage people into lowsec are, at best, asinine. It's like trying to get people to walk down dark alleys in bad neighborhoods...

What the hell is with this helpless attitude when it comes to fighting pirates? It's easy, PvE ships are built to fight NPCs, that's why you don't use them against players. PvP ships are built to fight players, that's why you use them to fight players. Even at that, I have actually been a fail pirate sometimes and not been able to kill a PvE fit ship because I didn't have the dps or numbers to do it. Of course he didn't kill any of us as he wasn't fitted with a point, but that wasn't the purpose of the ship. And don't act like you can't make enough money to buy one of both of those types of ships running lvl4 missions.
This isn't a case of forcing mission runners to fly through low-sec alone and unscouted in their navy geddon, that will get you killed, because it is stupid, and if you think this is your only choice, then you are not thinking outside the box.
'It's like trying to get people to walk down dark alleys in bad neighborhoods...'. That's a stupid response as well as excuse, and people that do that in Eve die everyday, thankfully some of them learn from it and get smarter and improve upon their gaming experience, unfortunately some of them never leave the house again. Now imagine an armed mob running through that dark alley. What the hell do you think that small group of muggers are going to do when they see that? What do you think is going to happen to those muggers if they decide to show themselves and pick a fight? Who is really thinking outside the box here, the person who wants change and added risk to the game, or the person who is perfectly content with their safety and income and is against having this changed?

i'll refrain from further trolling ;D but would like this answered by kale. consider the system hophib.
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Aridia/Hophib
among the best agents in game, better rewards due to sec level, 5 combat oriented 4-20's, total of 11 4-20's in system.
it looks like one of the most lucrative places to run missions. with incentives like that, it wouldn't seem you'd need any 'mission creep' to get people in there. why is it nearly empty? what would you do to get more players to go there?

I'm a bit late but i'll address this bit.
It wont work. Mission runners will just crowd the other lvl4 missions, cry about it and go on with their lives at slightly reduced pay, or quit. This will not bring people that dont want to go to lowsec in to lowsec.
What it will do however is create a small, dedicated group of people that will farm the missions non-stop and crash the faction loot prices. It is likely these people will come from the small and dedicated pool of people that already run level 5's in lowsec.

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.

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.

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?

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?
Interesting post but what is your question?
If you can't find the question in that (maybe it's the last line) how are you going to function in Iceland.

Originally by: B1FF 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.
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.

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.

Only policy questions will be responded to from now on and further Ad hominem attacks will be ignored. Thankyou.
Given that the role you are trying to fulfill requires an intimate knowledge of, and dedication to, the game in its current form, publicizing the fact that you don't play is not, in fact, an ad hominem. Some would even say that your deflection of the issue is a case of ignoratio elenchi.
Forgetting for a moment that you don't actually play, what do you think makes you qualified to be the de facto lowsec candidate when your policies seem to be those of a de facto griefing candidate, and you appear to be out of touch with what many deem to be low-sec PvP? If you were to be elected to the CSM, how would you rationalize these severe game changes to your fellow CSM panel - knowing full well that "because it makes the game fun for me personally" isn't going to cut it? And finally, do you disagree that a CSM candidate should be active and know the current game mechanics? If so, why? If not, can you account for your activity during the last year?
If you want to avoid a valid question because you have no answer, that is fine - but don't claim the question is invalid to side-step it, it'll just make you look worse in the long run. --- Vote me for CSM. Low-sec? I got that. Delayed local? You know I got that. Industry love? Oh baby I'm gonna blow. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1308223 |

I've played EVE for 5 years and i'm not quiting any time soon, so that's that argument nipped in the bud.
The argument wasn't how long you played, it was questioning your activity in the last year. Eve five years ago is a totally different landscape than Eve right now. Likewise, Eve last year was very different. I mean, for "the ONLY lowsec candidate" I would expect at least one low-sec kill in the last 14 months. I still don't see how the validity of this question, or the question itself, is so perplexing.

You don't seem to get it, do you. Nobody here's interested how long you've had the account and if you're going to stop paying for it any time soon. The CSM is composed of people, not accounts, and if you as a person don't have the necessary experience in the game, you're not a relevant candidate for it.
Experience is gained through playing. How active have you been lately and where's the record for it? That's what people here have been trying to ask for too many posts already. You're either too dumb to understand the question, or you're ashamed of the answer.
Either way, you're damn right we're gonna vote for somebody else. The last thing we need is another armchair expert.

But. i am a candidate and one with a lot of support!
If i don't float your boat, vote for someone else then, it's your dime! You have an opportunity to have a dedicated lowsec representative in me. If you don't want to take opportunity then fine, cya later.
Like i've said numerous times, i've been solidly playing EVE for 5 years, with this and other accounts. You don't believe that then fine, a few posts on a forum won't convince you.
The CSM is a huge commitment of (RL) time and effort, something which i am prepared for and looking forward to if elected. I will have to give up all my remaining holiday from work to represent you with lowsec issues if elected when i'm expected to turn up in iceland for the CSM summit. (Yes, that's right, it's not a holiday) I think your being rather ungratful for someone who is prepared to give so much to represent you to the powers that be so you have a voice!

See, the reason I'm bringing up the fact that you don't play is that I don't think you're prepared to dedicate the time for CSM. You're marginalizing the entire process, and can't even bother to make up a feasible excuse as to your inactivity in lowsec for the last 14 months. --- Vote me for CSM. Low-sec? I got that.

ehm did I miss something?
tbh if you think that the best candidate is going to be someone who has been playing EVE for the last year, then there is omsethign wrong with your ideas.
CSM is here to represent your thoughts and problems YOU have.
so, for me the best candidate is not someone who is biased to a certain direction of the game, but someone who is here to listen and understand the problems of the players and bring them up to CCP in the correct and professional manner rather than whining like a little girl on the forums.
I woudl support Kale, because I have a feeling he would do exactly this, and to add to that, if you are saying that if a 5 year veteran of the game has no clue what is going on cause of his recent activity, then you are a total idiot.
someone with that experience inmo might not know how to use the fleet finder which was recently brought in, but he will know the mechanics and understand ore about how changes are looked at and implemented then someone who might have only just experienced a single expansion.
Kale, if you do change your minds and decide to continue then you have my support, if not, then maybe you weren't indeed cut out to do this job, would be a shame.
to anyone else here who has been going on about that he has not been around, not a candidate, etc, well, all I can say, is that I do'nt see you been ready to commit your time to running for CSM.
I think it's a noble cause, and I admire people been able to even get into this role, as I woudl like to run for it someday too, however I know I wouldn't be suitable for it due to RL time limits.
I don't think you should question someone due to been away for half a year or year after giving so much time to this game already, but focus more on ther intentions and see if it is in line to what you want the rep to support andd fight for in their period, as CSM if they get the position
but hey, this is C&P, maybe that was the mistake
this place is full of whiners after all

Thanks for the words Gilgamesh.
Basically i was prepared to give up my free time and two weeks of my holiday to visit iceland to put these issues to CCP and i would of given them hell as lowsec has been ignored for far too long (that's why i ran). To be honest i didn't realise what a bunch of ****** cry babies there were!
I'd rather have the holiday in ibiza with my m8s (which i have now booked with the lads, yay! ) rather than pander to people who don't know when they're being truely represented! let them suffer another year of broken lowsec!
So **** em! i'd rather kill stuff, than be typing and thinking!
P.S. Gilgamesh, looks like your crew's been having fun in Jan!

Personally I think you give too much credence to the people that posted something, trolls and alike. Instead what you should have done was either ignore the bait and concentrate on those that just read your message and feel what you represent to be the right way for pirates.
Think you gave in far to easy to the trolls.
I have considered running for CSM myself, as I to have a vested interest in piracy and low sec. I may pick up from where you left off still, I would like it if you would restore your manifesto link. It would be interesting to see what your points on the piracy and low sec issues were and try to see what people thought.
Just a thought.

CSM is here to represent your thoughts and problems YOU have.
Really? So by your logic, some guy who just started playing but is really good at listening is just as qualified as someone who has played actively for four years? Yes I exaggerated a bit, but not much. The issue is that the CSM doesn't just talk about low-sec, it talks about everything. The issue of 0.0 sovereignty is going to come up, if you have no knowledge of Dominion what are you going to do, spin in your chair for the day?

I agree completely, and yet you supported someone whose ideas were pretty much " give me tools to gank more scrubs, I don't care about anything else". Is there no bias in that?

I'm kind of glad you said this, because I didn't want to be accused of trying to steal votes. And by the fact that you had no idea I'm running, I guess I did a pretty good job.

Again, I think it's fair to question someone who hasn't played in a year, but that's my view of the CSM. Taking a bit of a break from Eve isn't a big deal, everyone has to. Taking a year off and then suddenly jumping into CSM? Forget for a moment that I personally think the CSM needs to be an active player (it is an opinion after all), but is it not fair to question someones dedication if they have a history of, for lack of a better term, giving up? I also think it's fair to ask, and I think I asked in a very nice way. The response I got? Nothing. Push the issue? YO MAN IM GOIN TO IBIZA MEIGHT.

I'm not sure if I'm the troll in question, but I really wasn't trolling. I'll quote myself

Even if you disagree with the premise, the question is still valid. Someone who thinks that you, Garmon, Gneeznow, kil2, et al "don't get low-sec PvP" strikes me as someone who is completely out of touch, someone who avoids tough questions strikes me as someone who isn't prepared for a role where ideas will clash.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Troll doesn't mean someone who disagrees with you.
Troll doesn't mean someone who calls you out when you're avoiding questions.
Troll doesn't mean someone who questions your qualification.
This thread has been much more candidate interrogation than it has been trolling. No one has been attacking you for fun.

i agree with msot of your points, but you cant just go round complaining about every single thing that may be a disadvantage to pirates. Thats part of the whole "piracy" thing.

my statements were not pointed to an individual tbh.
but the fact is that as with politicians, they do have their area of expertise, even if this isn't from first hand experience.
for me, the candidate I would vote for is the person I would entrust with my thoughts, so if Kale would have carried on and maybe been voted to CSM, I would have seen him as my 'go to' guy for anythign that I would feel I woudl like to have addressed.
even if CSM are stakeholders now, I highly doubt they are in any place to have major changes brought in or made overnight, that some (not necessarily even in this thread) people have from them, they aren't been placed in an executive role within CCP, and the manner on how they address functions which either do not make sense or impact the overall game mechanics, is more important to CCP than someone complaining about that outlaws should be imprisoned for their actions for example.
I for one am happy to see people even getting involved with CSM, cause the second run seemed to be losing people interested already, and anyone who can and will commit the time to this should be supported.
of course questions shoudl be asked to them on how their vision is, however if a candidate DOES show and prove he is open for hearing you out, then he should be considered as a valid candidate for you.
Time been played or not, it does mattter, but even as my alliance knows, sometimes I am out of the game for a while but will come back, and the first thing I do is to look at the changes, and see if they work for me or not, and that is jsut how it is
you don't need nonstop months on end to be up to date with the changes, it takes a week at most to read trhgouh and try them out
CSM is our voice, the players, who don't look at the code of the game every day, and should be used as that, and in my belief the panel should be covering as many aspects of gameplay as possible with a mutual respect for eachother's opinions and matter they want to address, to ensure that nothing comes out of balance, again these are just my opinions on how it should work in my mind, and I am sure a lot of people may disagree with this.

First things first, I have a natural suspicion towards someone (particularly people I never heard about) coming to C&P in election times asking for pirate support and talking about how they would "fix" lowsec.
Secondly, most "boost piracy" candidates have ideas which are tbh would not result in anything good for lowsec, and some don't even know how things work in lowsec.
Third, people who say "make lowsec more desirable/populated" are annoying, because in most cases what they're really saying is "I want to gank retrievers in belts, and there aren't any".
None of the "boost piracy" candidates really presents a clear case what is broken, why it is broken (and no, "nts broken lol" is NOT a valid argument), and what would make low-sec better for everyone involved.

this I agree with
we are pirates, and pirates are still around, despite everything been apparently broken.
we just don't use certain ships, but we will get on with it. just says you will support thoughts that come up and concerns, but ultimately you won't be getting anyone could potentially change losec mechanics to the extent some CSM candidates have said they will fight for.
use the energy better and deal with matters that should be reasonable to address.
I want to have fun, and as long as EVE is delivering this for me I will continue to play, if it doesn't maybe CCP will lose customers if they don't address show stoppers that are causing this.
lag fo rinstance is somethign that I don't really have a problem with, it's something that a form of gaming jsut ultimately triggers.
solution, smaller gangs, well, woudl be a workaround.
this isn't something that needs to be fixed per se, but will probably come incrementally over time while the servers and connections get faster.
Jita is the best exampel for it, and also a prime example that it will not solve the problem, but jsut open up the bandwidth for more people to be there over time, ultimately though, when more people can be in there, more people WILL be there and you have a lag issue again.
