Not to derail, but is there an AAR on how that project worked out? Will there be more or another 3-year wait?

ya know, ppl work at ccp so they can cheat at eve, kk
I wonder if there is a clause prohibiting insider information from being used, for example:
Dev 1: we are gonna buff *insert item* Dev 2: Logs in and clears out jita of said item Dev 2: posts smack on MD with an alt on how he wins at Eve

Originally by: CCP Fallout I'm not sure how many posters/lurkers attend Fanfests, but we do hold a Player v Dev event that's a lot of fun to watch.
I'm not sure of his overall playstyle, but this is my favorite Yokai story. He wasn't working for us then. But as a player, he was on the pickup team Bubblegum that made it all the way to second place in the FF08 PvP tourney. It was amazing to watch this batch of strangers play amazingly well.
Indeed, I laugh every time I see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=8wljfgZlF_4&hd=1#t=1h33m30s, a good example of some quality DEV PVP Tho I feel a bit sorry for Mindstar and Nova for dying this fast oh well, their fault I'm looking forward to fight you dev's again next fanfest

IÆve been playing since late Æ05 and enjoyed every minute of it. IÆve moved through various alliances and had lots of fun out pirating in low sec and 0.0. IÆve done my fair share of carebear stuff as well, though itÆs more fun to be out in the thick of things.

Also, interesting to see that out of maybe two devs in this thread, nobody seems to have any experience with the sov system. Figures.

**** YEAH, this (CCP participating again) needs to happen again and more Thank you CCP devs, somewhat rekindled the thought that you still care about the game. It was getting harder and harder to believe it.
Just smack Nathan up the head and make him come down to earth and everything will be good again. All will be forgiven :)

posting in a truely epic thread, nice to see how many CCP employees have posted in here and what they do while in eve. Now, get back to fixing the overview...
You guys make squeeky noises when you pop, and that's enough motivation as far as I'm concerned. |

Wait, you didn't already? You're one of the biggest carebears I know. Have all those expensive ships to PvP with but you'll never undock with them. Lazy ****.

To the CCP carebears .. well done for confessing that. I have a recommendation (or perhaps a challenge):
Try living in 0.0 and building up standings with a criminal faction. I'm not just talking with a criminal corporation but with the over-riding faction. It is harder than it looks.
(It is not the same experience as building standings with the main-stream factions. It will give you an entirely new perspective on a game element you thought you knew. Criminal connections does not work exactly the same as Connections, and it is an entirely new ball of wax. Also, you already fundamentally know the approach.)
I'd love to see a CCP employee with a standing of 8 with the Guristas or Serpentis. Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed resolution of 400 x 120 pixels with a maximum file size of 24000 bytes. -Weatherman |

I started playing EVE after I started working for CCP in 2008. Now I have three accounts, with my main and another alt in lowsec. If I'm not fighting in Factional Warfare, I'm out doing exploration sites in lowsec and nullsec. (I'm trying to get into booster production.) And sometimes I gear up for a night of fighting, when I'm in the mood.

Well, Cartel here (9.0+). Same principle applies though, even if you're running out of Serpentis Prime or some other horrible clusterf...
Step 1: Grab a Tech III. Tengu is arguably the best for this job. Step 2: Fit MWD/Impro Cloak + Interdiction Nullifier Step 3: Learn how to evade camps using MWD/Improved Cloak. Get it down to an art form, so that when you jump into that gatecamp from hell, you can keep it together. Step 4: Pray to your God that you never land <3,000m from something else in a gatecamp. This is, in fact, the only real risk. Step 5: Profit!
Other points...
Escape gatecamps: Use MWD/Impro cloak trick to turn 0.0 into the equivalent of lowsec. The only difference - when it comes to gate camping - between 0.0 and lowsec is that bubbles work in one, and not in the other. Interdiction nullifiers change this, and effectively turn 0.0 into lowsec. Ergo: You don't need to fit that Covert reconfiguration that horribly gimps your DPS (and consequently your mission-running capabilities). Just fit an I.N and pretend you're in Ammamake, not Serp Prime.
Avoid station camps: Instantly undock with an off-station bookmark. For added safety, at the cost of added logistics, fleet up with a second character and have them get the missions. I'm guessing this is what I'd want to do at Serpentis Prime, rather than undocking my 3b ISK Tengu in front of a hungry fleet. A second character also adds to your safety in that you can cloak one of them outside the station, and have them insta-warp your other mission-grabbing character out, quite a few seconds before you can actually control that character's client and tell them yourself to warp to the "undock" bookmark. It also helps to have a sacrificial lamb you can jump into systems you suspect are being camped.
Avoid mission disruption: Make your Tech III impossible to probe down. Don't launch drones. Kill target painting NPCs first. Usual drill here. If you fit faction modules in the right places, you can squeeze on the required ECCM/Backup Array configuration of your choice.
Add it all together and you can travel where you want, dock/undock at any station you want, and run missions for the pirate faction of your choice with almost complete impunity. It may be slower than taking a Maurauder in there, but it's of course, an order of magnitude more safe, and to me at least, far more interesting.
NinjaPvE best PvE.
P.S. On a technicality...getting Guristas faction would have become much less difficult since the advent of the pirate faction arcs.

Ever been double bubbled by a dictor? You can be caught, it just takes more work and a very specific fitting/knowledge base. |

Well done again then CCP Dropbear (we need more clues).
How do you get around the issue of not being able to rat? If you do - any faction you build up is instantly killed (not with the corporation, but with the faction)?

NICE post, CCP Dropbear. Quite inspiring :)
It is a shame however, that starting players in EVE who fancy PVE to make their isk, are almost automatically set out on a course which has them end up with terrible standings with pirate factions once they are reasonably skilled up and start planning their character's future in EVE.
This is something I find very detrimental to the game. There would be a much greater incentive for pve'ers to go to low sec and 0.0 to mission for pirate factions if the age old 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' concept would be introduced to PVE:
Occasional important storyline missions which not only boost your standings with your own empire faction, but also with one of the pirate factions opposing your empire faction's enemy: for example, players missioning for Amarr corporations would gain standing with the Angels after completing a mission with detrimental effects to the Minmatar Republic. (These missions should be totally optional and lead to lowsec or 0.0 space in my mind).
Not sure if this would compute with the lore though, but it would deepen the conflict between races and make your allegiances a more important factor, (now all pirate factions are in a league of their own, conflict wise, instead of being involved in the 'wars' between Empire factions), it would open the door to make a career switch and make missioning for pirate factions in lowsec /0.0 a tempting option for a lot of empire dwellers and it would spread out the player base a little more evenly over New Eden.
I don't think player pirates will complain to having more targets flying around either.
Win, win win.
Anyway, my ninja suggestion worth 2 cents. I agree with everything Barakkus posts. |

I've been playing since 2007-ish. Mostly pvp (and getting blown up....a lot), but I have been known to dabble in industry. I have a deep affection for mining, but I'm not sure why... It's calming...meditative almost.
To answer someone else's question: As far as I know, I don't play with any other CCPers; however, we often talk about our EvE experiences in the office.
See you in space....
