Trying to word this vaguely enough to avoid any NDA issues: how much more interested/enthusiastic/optimistic are you about Dust after the summit than you were before? Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

Some of the stuff is rolling out much sooner than I anticipated, but admittedly I was skeptical and set a low bar as far as expectations go. This is still an insane (in a good way) experiment and ground that's never been tread before. I was pleasantly surprised. :) That being said, I also voiced concerns during the summit as well about some gameplay details, but those will have to wait for the minutes approval. Dust is a very sensitive subject NDA-wise, there is a lot riding on it and I must tread lightly.
Overall I'm one of the more optimistic CSM members when it comes to Dust 514, as I arguably play more than the others and have seen and spoken with a good cross section of the Dust community. I think the naysayers often don't realize that many in the beta KNOW its not Planetside 2, KNOW its not C.O.D. or BF2, and just don't care. Dust 514 has its own unique appeal to them, and many are patiently awaiting each new mini-expansion within the beta world. As long as CCP doesnt horribly screw something up, I anticipate it'll launch with a good core and grow with time just as EVE has. The fact that I've already witnessed backstabbing, corp drama, schism, competition, E-fame, E-sports, and E-peens galore in the beta world is highly encouraging. I'd be far more worried if that sort of thing wasn't taking place already. Vice Secretary of the 7th Council of Stellar Management.

See Han's big answer above? It was just how he sounded talking to him face to face with me after the summit as well. He's very much trying to be ~glass half full~ about DUST and I respect why he feels that way and can see his point of view; I just don't share it.
I went into the Summit with low expectations about what we would hear about DUST. In some ways, I was impressed by what I heard but, mostly, I found myself shaking my head at the reality-distortion field surrounding the DUST team. They all seem to BELIEVE in what they are doing, but the CSM (and myself quite forcefully) were very clear on the fact that they have no real marketing message that will have EVE players giving a damn.
I specifically warned the DUST team that I felt Deja Vu from the spring CSM 6 summit when we were talking to CCP about Incarna and asking a lot of questions and getting answers that left us with ~meh~ impressions. Not to directly compare the Incarna idiocy directly with DUST (which I think is being much more competently managed), it's just the best example I can give of how the CSM feels right now with regard to the gaping holes in, "Dudes, you've been working on this for over four years. Four. Years. When are you going to show us the actual cake?"
Beyond that? Cripes, I'm not much of an FPS player but even I understand the basic elements of shooters (I love Crysis and now Planetside 2 to death). From everything graphics and gameplay wise, I just don't understand the appeal of DUST beyond the as yet to be publicly defined ~link~ to EVE. v0v
I'm limited by what more I can say at the moment, even though some of it is right out there in the open obvious, but I'm going to be VERY curious to see how the official minutes to the DUST sessions come back from CCP's review. CSM 7 Chairman My Blog - Where I say stuff Follow Seleene on Twitter! |

Hypothetically if you believed that changing POS mechanics in a way that would basically make POS/control towers operate in the way that stations in the game do now. This being that there is no way of knowing how many people are in said station without docking in the station yourself and that you can in no way know who/what is outside the station when you are docked(without another character undocked alt or otherwise relaying this information). And if these changes were made you would be an unhappy person.

You answered half the question. He also wants to know your opinion about being able to see into starbases from outside. It'd be difficult to discover if a player in local channel is a threat/target if you don't have rights to dock at all the starbases in system, and if there were a lot of starbases it'd be impractical to dock at all of them.

i was trying to go in a round about way to ask if they are breaking POS mechanics. Second try ill spare you the round aboutness.
Does CCP intend to re vamp POS in a way that makes them function like stations?
Meaning no intel can be gathered about who is online in what ship while they are docked.
Meaning you cannot foresee the impending doom waiting for you on the undock.
Meaning yay station games.

To be honest we really have no idea exactly what will be done on POS's at this point in time. Hopefully we'll know more soon. I'm not kidding when I say that this summit was about the how in expansion building, not the what is coming this summer. Nobody should take anything for granted, whether it be POS's, or 0.0, or anything, until they hear more confirmation from CCP as we go through the release planning process.

CSM question:
How much of the CSM's day to day interaction with each other and CCP happens through the skype channel as opposed to the private CSM forums and other means of communication, and how much does that communication with CCP drop off outside of Icelandic daytime office hours?
I'm not contemplating running for CSM8 myself, but I'm wondering that if someone else in a similar position to myself (GMT timezone and in a job that precludes me installing Skype and being present in a chat channel all day) were to be elected, how much would they find their ability to contribute limited compared to those who can be available whilst CCP are in the office? Has this proved to be an issue during CSM6 or CSM7, and if so were any steps taken to mitigate it? Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge ****.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006

Not sure if it's NDA, but I'll ask.
The current ship rebalancing is great and all, but is there discussion on rebalancing modules as well? There are some that have meta 4's which are better than the T2's, some modules are inferior as others do the same thing plus more and have fewer fitting requirements. Then there are other modules that seem... well.... useless to put it kindly.
BTW, the new micro jump drives are amazing. My Megathron now roams lowsec with little fear of gatecamps. It closes distance enough to allow my Mega to brawl like it should Hyjinx of a Highsec Pirate http://cyprusblack.blogspot.com/ |

Cyprus Black wrote: This is getting a little too specific, but can someone look at the NPC tax rates of PI in high and low? As they are now highsec pays 11% NPC tax and lowsec pays 17% NPC tax. It seems like it should be flipped. It's more profitable to run PI in highsec than lowsec because of this. Most player owned POCO tax rates average upwards of around 20% (the lowsec POCO tax max is 25% fyi). Player owned POCO's in lowsec can keep them high because their NPC competition is also high. I'm no economist, but the tax rates seem backwards.
The clear answer here is "highsec POCOs". Might even happen since Soundwave has said he likes the idea, if I recall. You may know me better as Corestwo: https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/corestwo

As do I, however a few questions arise as to how to deal with the NPC ones as well as player owned ones by corps that disbanded.

They, along with POSes which are owned by corps which have disbanded or haven't been maintained (i.e. fuelled) should be ripe for the picking. For POCOs, hack them into your ownership, for POSes, unanchor and run off with them. Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home. |

Question for the CSM, with preferred individual answers for the question.
Personally, I think the concept of "Walking In Stations" is viable, despite how badly CCP introduced it the first time around in Incarna. I think it would open up some really cool mission options, lore, industry, as well as personalize the game, which would make it easier for Eve Online to retain players. That being said, I know not everyone agrees with me, and I also am aware that they way CCP has done the code, while cool, has brought its own challenges.
My question is then, as individual CSM members, what do you think of Walking In Stations, would you like to see it happen, when do you think it could happen, what obstacles are in the way, and what would be the minimum amount of features it would need for it to be successful? |

Well, assume that if you are hostile to the POS owner and you warp to the POS, it will kill you...
and as you undock, even from stations... you are invulnerable for a while... and the guns/ modules will cover you.
the big difference on docking will be that no one will know the ship you are using... this can happen now as you cloak, or when you change ships at pos, or are docked at an outpost... so no big deal...
I I don't see why you are concerned about it... Please read this! > New POS system (Block Built) Please read this! > Refining and Reprocess Revamp |

Well, last CSM minutes there was a big topic about pos revamp... yes the comunity is anxious about it... and yes we want it... and yes we remember someone saying "Ship it"... I just hope that CCP do it soon... And I can't stand the actual system now...

I'd hesitate to put a percentage on the use of the Skype channel(s), but it's easily over half of the information flow. Can you be an effective CSM by completely forgoing the Skype channels and just reading / posting on forums and email? It's possible to do the bare minimum and still contribute, but in my opinion, no, if you aren't involved in the Skype stuff then you aren't going to be very EFFECTIVE. That is certainly true in the current communication environment, especially if your fellow CSM's are extroverted animals that enjoy building social bridges.
CSM 7 has also really used TitanPad and Google Docs MUCH more than previous CSMs. We've made it kind of an unspoken policy that we group-think and contribute mutually to issues where possible. Working on things like that, while babbling about it in Skype (sometimes even doing short voice meetings) has been very productive. This allows you to still be involved if pesky things like working for a living or taking your kids to (insert random sport / activity) get in the way of being a space politician.
As for CCP's availability, they have tried very hard to accomodate timing meetings with the CSM to maximize our ability to be present. This assumes that you've given them reason to believe taking the time to talk to you about issues is a good idea, of course. CSM 7 Chairman My Blog - Where I say stuff Follow Seleene on Twitter! |

There's little point in mining in lowsec when highsec asteroids contain almost the exact same minerals and quantity. Can we get more stations in lowsec?

I'm going to just give a blanket answer of YES to all of your questions because... yes, CCP has thought about and is considering pretty much every point you have asked about. We are hoping to have the summit minutes out next week (it's in CCP's hands atm) and you'll be able to get a much more detailed answer on many of your questions then.
