What "ok" are you talking about? You guys created this document yourselves and submitted it to CCP - are you seriously saying that the NDA is so restrictive that you can't even share things you haven't proposed to CCP yet?

This was simply not possible due to both the timeframe and the NDA.

The NDA argument is dumb. The point is not the legal details of what the NDA covers or doesn't cover. CCP asked us for the document, and releasing it to the public ASAP would have greatly hurt the discussion between us and CCP. We released the document as soon as we were able to do so without hurting the process.

I can see that no one in the CSM is actively involved in industry. Super yield mining? Create incentives for miners in null by increasing yield? Create incentives for miners in null by breaking mineral compression? Your super capital fleet addiction is showing.

Your own wishlist on where you all think EVE should be heading is under NDA?

I'd better be careful posting about what I'd like to see out of EVE in the future. I could be sued.

CCP's strategic planning process is by its nature proprietary.

Well, there's a simple solution to that: Poetic Stanziel for CSM8!

Mineral compression isn't a point that CCP should be even addressing (not yet, anyway), so to see it included on a short, concise list of major issues is a concern. It needs to be de-emphasized in anything going forward, lest you give the developers the impression that "fixing" compression would actually benefit the game at all (it really wouldn't).

The goal of the CSM is not to remain in compliance with the letter of their legal agreements, their goal is to get CCP to make a better game. You don't do that by spitting at them. I'm perfectly willing to see a document a day or two later if it means that any would-be ruffled feathers get smoothed down and the CSM has a better chance of actually making a positive contribution to the future of Eve. Just because being a **** is legal doesn't mean it's a good idea.

After Retribution, it will be a viable profession. It will be a New Thing To Do.

the new system is actually not that bad (decshield aside)

bad are the things you can (or can not !) achieve via hiring mercenaries

5. ... we need to acknowledge the fact that when 2 ships ram each other....both ships are going to take damage....

That dual mining/PVE site is interesting indeed. Quoting whole post for effect.

EDIT: OK looks like im all caught up. There were a lot of good posts (and some bads) so if i didn't quote you dont take it personally, im probably spamming the thread already as it is haha

You say this as if $15 or 600 million for a PLEX every month isn't a high enough maintenance cost.

Call me crazy, but I really think it's really that simple. Make these ships risky, but fun as hell, and USEFUL as hell - and they'll die. Titans and Supers both suffer from lackluster battlefield roles due to several years of responsive nerfs without a cohesive design direction.

Well yes. My point wasn't that mining and industry is inherently unfun (I mine highsec ice, make POS fuel, and cook drugs), but rather that increasing build times through various means isn't exactly doing anything to make that process more fun. That will only come through a true overhaul of manufacturing processes.

e: To put that in a somewhat more general sense, the ability and willingness of a CSM member to listen to the community is, to me, far more important than their individual knowledge of an aspect about the game (even if that's what gets them elected). You don't think that The Mittani, who's effectiveness on the CSM cannot be questioned, personally knew everything about every topic the CSM addressed, do you?

You and I seem to know very different versions of Hans then.

Oh you changed your post, I liked the frail and delicate one [:lol:

Keep on trolling, stanny boy. All you are doing is marginalizing yourself and that garbage blog of your's. Now that is poetic justice.
