o/ Vile, best of luck, i hope you get in :D
I would like to say a few things if i could. I have not been playing Eve for long, but i have been closely following it since late 2003.
IMO, traditionally there had been three and a half aspects to Eve in terms of flying: high sec (natural newby space), low sec (fun shenannigans with others), nul sec (serious player alliance foundations), and war decs (a way to mix all three up).
Traditionally Nul sec space has been nearly 'off limits' to new people in a large group due to easy gankability, and that is fine. Lately though, Dreddit came along and with an upside down map, they ended up in Goon space with a new alliance BUILT for newbies (TEST).
personally, having tried low sec and nul sec space several times previously, it ended very badly with much isk burnt and a feeling of 'well bugger this for a joke'. TEST though is another story. Newbies can come in and be surrounded by fellow alliance members and feel safe in a stable environment. Bittervets oversee things in the alliance and from other alliances, helping the newbro's along.
I think this combination of new people being adopted by vets is one of the best things ever in EVE. Newbies can learn quickly about isk making and PVP better than in any area of high sec.
I for one would enthusiastcly support anyone on the CSM if they researched other ways to promote this team work and promoted it to CCP in ways to make it easier to happen.
I think it has happened in the north ALOT because a) the ratting is good b) Tech moons c) not near amarr space (i think noobs may be KOS more with Amarr than other factions).
In the south i would support better ratting proposals to not only invite established alliances to help newbies in to their space, but also remove the NEED to have bots.
lastly, i will add my voice to ANYONE who promote fixing the Hel's bonuses. At present, it is ****. Please get it fixed to be as effective as an Aeon/Nyx. And fix the Niddy to plz.
A vote for Vile Rat is not a vote for Goons, it is a vote for an effective voice to the people who run EVE.
