TLDR - Click HERE at 1800 Sat!
Now that the CSM Summer Meeting Minutes have been published, it's time for our next community Town Hall meeting. This is an opportunity for the community to hear from the CSM directly. With summer over and CCP heading into release planning for the winter expansion, the CSM will be looking to do these Town Hall meetings with more frequency, each one with an overall GÇÿthemeGÇÖ. This meeting will, of course, focus primarily on the recently released Summit minutes. Obviously there is a lot of ground to cover but we will try to do the best we can.
Once again, in order to ensure there is minimal technical problems and to prevent people from having to install / configure a third party client, we will be holding the Town Hall meeting live on EVE Radio.
BTW, if you are looking for a shorter version of the minutes, feel free to check this out:
CSM 7 Spring Summit Review - Part I CSM 7 Spring Summit Review - Part II
Important Information
EVE Radio has set up a dedicated stream for this and all future meetings. All you have to do is go here:
EVE Radio CSM Town Hall
For this first meeting, we will be starting out by answering questions submitted in this and the other thread posted in Jita Park. If you are shy, please eve mail your questions to both Two step and Hans Jagerblitzen.
Please try to keep your questions clear and concise. If you are asking about a specific section or quote from the Summit Minutes, please reference it so both we and the other listeners can follow along and understand.
If we run out of questions we will also be monitoring the in game GÇÿEVE RadioGÇÖ channel and be following Twitter at #csmtownhall.
The official running time of the meeting will be two hours but a few of us may hang out longer than that to sing songs or tell stories about devs getting lost at 0300 in the morning.
Please tune in and enjoy! CSM 7 Chairman My Blog - Where I say stuff Follow Seleene on Twitter! |

Why do gate guns need a change in low sec? Does CCP Greyscale not see the far wider implications of this change, if put through?
Why not give low sec it's own niche within Eve with a boost, rather than a nerf. The following post is a great example of what could be done. (with a proviso of still allowing sec status to -10 with pod kills)
Syler Puuntai wrote:The idea is similar to one i had awhile ago. Instead of nerfing highsec to get people to live in lowsec, lowsec just needs to be changed all together to make it unique so that people will want to live there.
My idea was to turn lowsec into the ghetto, filled with drugs(boosters) and organized crime. Instead of having empire factions control the space have either pirate factions or drug cartels. Screw having ore in lowsec(could still have grav sites) just boost gas cloud spawn rate or have static gas clouds instead. Also remove GCC, and sec loss after -4.9 in lowsec. Theres more but you get the idea.

Whether it's sitting on a gate with multiple AoE doomsday titans, the supercap buff, parking a carrier fleet safely on a wormhole exit secure that the enemy can't push enough ships through to put you in any risk, or this latest brain gem where the coalition with the biggest group of supercaps can destroy stations with impunity, has there ever been a single idea Seleene has championed that hasn't resulted in a huge buff for high-SP 'elite' alliances? |

From the CSM minutes "(EditorGÇÖs note on this particular matter: Inflation numbers have dropped very rapidly in June and we are now in a period of deflation)." Since CCP Diagoras no longer tweets stats & there's a lack of a current QEN I find myself scratching my head asking: What is this deflation? Just mineral prices? What are the current bounty/blue loot/Incursion faucets post Escalation/Inferno by my estimates total monthly bounties have increased +10%, WH's blue loot +2%, and Incursion payouts -70% am I close? Sink wise has the new datcore NPC sell order/ LP sink item signifcantly increased the ISK sink. Also with the new FW lp Tier system has the lp ISK sink signiicantly changed? Are we still seeing the approximately 6 trillion ISK a month sunk from last February? =========================================================

Are you serious Seleene? I can tune into a radio program to hear people whine and complain for 2 hours?
I never felt like a king before, for flying in hi-sec, till I read this thread. Who knew sticking around in a place since I am low SP and like to avoid dicks, would make me an overpowered mofo, that forces everyone to whine, so they feel equal. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

when CCP Soundwave talks about buffing turrets in lowsec to 'make it more inviting' under the belief that making space less securable for use makes it safer for inhabitants, is that the result of a congenital defect or merely improper use of prescription medication? |

I have some questions I would like answered:
1. Why has there been such a radical change on the CSM's part when it comes to super-cap rebalancing?
wrote:[Greene Lee] raised the issue of remote reps on super carriers as one factor making super-cap combat "not fun. You have 50 super carriers, and you can do nothing." Elise Randolph: "You bring titans and you volley through them. It doesnGÇÖt matter how many reps you have if you have titans." Greene Lee: "You need how many titans?" Seleene/Elise: "16, 16-17 to go through an Aeon. Not a lot."
The above quote is in fact a fundamental demonstration of the problem that supers are and does not inspire confidence.
2. How can any CSM member represent us when they seem to be suffering such a high level of disconnect from the financial realities of a large number of EvE players?
Seleene wrote:everyone is so filthy rich that losses really donGÇÖt matter.
Currently things are like a bunch of fat people fighting over who gets to eat first at the GÇÿall you can eatGÇÖ buffet, no one will starve, it is just the question of who is first in the line.
You obviously move in far more rarefied and more lucrative circles than myself and 98% of the players I interact with.
3. Technatium, it is a problem why aren't you pushing for a quicker and more hard hitting solution? Why does there appear to have been a loss of interest in this problem? NBSI shall be the whole of the Law |

Samillian wrote:.. Good Questions
In addition to what Samillian asked, I would also like to add why supercapital production as well as risk has not addressed at all this time around.
Supercapital Production is WAY out of wack for the power of these ships and their proliferation lock out the ability for smaller, non-supercapital ship possessing alliances to cut out a part of space for themselves. Remember, originally these ships were supposed to be rare, like one or two per alliance total. Not one for every member.
Since the proliferation is already beyond the ability of normal game mechanics to seriously cut back both production and current inventory, what is the CSM going to do about eliminating the problem of the "Not a lot" Blindness, as mentioned below:
Quote: [Greene Lee] raised the issue of remote reps on super carriers as one factor making super-cap combat "not fun. You have 50 super carriers, and you can do nothing." Elise Randolph: "You bring titans and you volley through them. It doesnGÇÖt matter how many reps you have if you have titans." Greene Lee: "You need how many titans?"

Apart from the revamp on the horizon for Crimewatch and the tentative plan to buff sentry guns, are there any plans to address the needs of lowsec as a whole?
Is the plan for lowsec to simply dump tons of development time into FacWar and call it a day?
Why has there been next to no discussion (from what we, the players, can see) about the future of lowsec apart from the ongoing work on FacWar?
And a softball - how do you like everyone being able to see exactly what each of the CSM members did or did not say in the latest minutes format? |

Q: Can the CSM please comment, explain or support the following as regards "everyone" in EVE:
Seleene says "...everyone is so filthy rich that losses really donGÇÖt matter." (page 47) Elise Randolph can take a 100 billion ISK fleet and "at the drop of a hat just throw it around." (page 112) Seleene adds: "Currently things are like a bunch of fat people fighting over who gets to eat first at the GÇÿall you can eatGÇÖ buffet, no one will starve, it is just the question of who is first in the line." (page 48)
Q: Can the CSM pleaase comment, explain or support the position, based on the above statements, this CSM does not represent or support the small to mid sized independant players, corps and Alliances who are not "filthy rich"?
As the vast majority of EVE players are in Empire, not in nullsec, it is my belief that this CSM is not "representative" of a majority of EVE players. I do not feel this CSM represent me or my corp nor many of our friends and aquaintences in EVE.
There has been, IMHO, a complete about face of the CSM's postions on many topics of concern in EVE from the last CSM... TurAmarth ElRandir HBHI VP & Salvage Operations Director Fly Safe and see you in the Sky =/|)= http://turamarths-evelife.blogspot.com/ |

I believe the idea is to break up/make gate camps vastly more difficult thereby creating safer "access" for more (risk adverse) people to 'feel' safer exploring losec, IE 'make it more inviting'. It is one thing to warp thru a gate with the feeling you have at least a 'chance' to avoid an instaDIAF...
But, jump thru a gate just to land inside 5, 10 or 20+ ships w/ multiple instalock frigs, get multiwebbed and multiscrammed and then just effin die without even a 1% chance of survival several times and, for some weird unfathomable reason, your potential victims learn NOT TO DO THAT anymore... it's a mystery....
So losec becomes the boring wasteland it is now... If, just effin IF losecers would simply use tactics that allow people IN then use more creative and fun ways to track them down and 'play' with them, you would have more potential victims 'to' play with. But gate camps are EASY for tards and so you end up teaching your prey what to avoid... then you pi55 and moan when they learn your lesson...
And you think CCP Soundwave has mental or medical issues? LOL right...

In the face of the CSM minutes...
1) CCP resource allocation: CCP Unifex was hailed as a man of change, the company was said to undergo a vast operative reorganisation.
The minutes told the community that the three publicized major and broad game-play affecting projects: Crimewatch, POS-infrastructure and Ring mining are vastly underdimensioned.
Crimewatch is postponed indefinately. The two remaining projects: POS-infrastructure and Ring mining are said to be carried out by the same design team, and forced into a relation of priority.
Meanwhile CCP are perfectly capable of changing missiles, V3 shaders, new- and old ships, WiS or clothing store assets, assorted graphics-heavy art-projects like preview representations on the websites and the like, all at once.
Why can they manage so many art-design projects and so few game-design projects simultainously?
I thought art-design was supposed to be a high-intensity, resource demanding and time-consuming part of the gaming industry. I guess not.
I realize peripheral teams can exist low-intensively next to important core-design projects, as long as you can deliver on the prioritized projects.
When those are postponed and down-prioritized, why do the peripherals still exist and continue to deliver?
What do that say about dimensioning and reorganisation of the company?
Do CCP Iceland make spaceship games or fashion accessories?
Do they hire game designers or hair-dressers? I still see alot of fancy haircuts.
Why do the CSM not call out CCP on this? I see Unifex in the minutes. This was his primary task.
2) The priorities to Flying in space: In the priorities imposed on the game design direction, why are CCP prioritizing POS-work over Ring mining and why do you, the CSM, chime in with nods of agreement?
It was said, after the mea culpa, under much applause at PR-events such as Fanfest - that focus should be entirely on Flying in space, over the foreseeable future.
Do not get me wrong. I sympathize with people living in Wormholes, relying on outdated POS mechanics. I understand that interacting with POS is not the most thrilling aspect of the game either. Especially not if you are a PvP-player who do it out of necessity to store your Supercapital or while you would rather be out in fleets with your free moon-mineral and SRP-funded Drake.
The POS-work do not entail Flying in space though.
It does not encourage more ships in space. That was the promise of focus going on from Crucible, and now that is prioritized down.
Ring mining assume all those things. It's a question of flying in space, giving all players more content as all players are affected by ships in space per The Butterfly effect. It affect us all, because we interact with each other, not just those poor souls that interact with POS.
3) The potential of Flying in space aspects in POS-redesign: In addition. Why is there, in the CSM minutes, no focus on- or discussion around Flying in space aspects of POS-work?
You could discuss option to make POS themselves more eligable targets for spaceships, corporations and alliances of all sizes and dispositions. It would make them more appealing for all of us to interact with.
Why is that discussion limited to practical use and art-design oriented resources such as modular design, docking and the like? It could be focused on time-based mechanics of POS in contrast to volume-based mechanics that feed cost-effective Drake-blobs of 100's and "16-17 Titans".
CCP's effort since 2011 was said to focus on Flying in space, and your term as CSM was meant to encompass Flying in space.
Where is Flying in space?
All i see is new art-design, pr-projects and postponed or queued game-design projects. |

So losec becomes the boring wasteland it is now... It's a good idea until you realize that any effort that makes the lone tourist safer to bumble around low-security space makes it much, much safer for the 5, 10 or 20+ ships with instalock frigs to roam through system to system looking for potential victims. The only thing keeping them contained is the threat of running into a gatecamp themselves. Take that away and lowsec becomes less, not more used. FW didn't surge in popularity (the one lowsec success story ever) because it decreased risk, but instead increased it from the risk-free AFK cloaking plexes that used to dominate it in all of its suckitude. |

Please go into more detail on CREST and answer if https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=140598 will be possible.
As to Supers, are they worth the effort to change atm, given the number of things like corporate management and POS's that need fixing or a complete re-build. Given that they only exist in Null and that so little people live in Null compared to Hi, frankly is attention needed for Null at the moment. Any Spelling, gramatical and literary errors made by me are included free of charge.

I have some questions that I'd like to hear the CSM answer.
1. Everyone on the CSM is opposed to botting and the illicit RMT trade. Can you please explain why everyone should support this position?
2. How much effort does the CSM think CCP should put into making or retrofitting content to make writing botting code more difficult?
3. From the minutes, could you explain what a "disabled account" is? (page 148)
The Nosy Gamer:-á WoW reeks of fun and playfulness but ensnares players into a deception that spells W*O*R*K. Eve is Icelandic with Calvinist overtones - yet in its straightjacket there is opportunity to find one's own way towards a demeanor of play. One is a fall into an abyss, the other, a rise from one to redemption. |

For Seleene and Elise Randolph: why do you feel that 16 or 17 Titans "isn't a lot" when there are, at most, only five groups in EVE that can field this many? Do you feel super-caps are too concentrated into the hands of only a few players?
When the CSM stated (in the Summit Minutes) that players are rich, losses don't matter, and player income should be reduced across the board, was this based on player feedback? If not, what was it based on? Selective Pressure [FOVRA] is now recruiting! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1797934#post1797934 |

Threee days after posting the thread and there are more posts in 2 thread pages by CSM people than 'likes' on CSM members' posts. How about instead of lounging around on everadio where they toss out softball questions and cradle your nuts you guys get around to realizing why the playerbase thinks you're a bunch of cretinous hacks and address actual things in EVE. |
