OK the whole tone of the CSM8 Election is so much more positive! I just listened to an entire podcast of four of the candidates https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=warning&l=http%3a%2f%2fvoicesfromthevoid.net&domain=voicesfromthevoid.net and ALL of them wanted to improve the game.
I think the Malcanis Manifesto effect is in full force! Endorse Malcanis today and vote for him and some of these other good candidates and let us get moving forward on making CCP respond to what the players need in High sec, low sec, null sec, and wh space. The sandbox needs to expand and continue to adapt to the needs of the players.

First Gratz to Malcanis for making it into the election, next we have to get him on CSM8!
That being said I find the nullsec vs highsec manufacturing discussion quite compelling. Being the reviled miner/ builder/ inventor type myself I am very interested in how it is resolved.
Having spent my formative days as a highsec miner/ builder/ inventor before moving up to lowsec and now residing in nullsec I can tell you that the system surely requires fixing.
When you are in highsec you dream of the lowsec ores and the hopefully greater profit margins, and of course the moongoo to fund your building plans. So you and your corp make the jump to lowsec to jumpstart your industrial careers. You've already learned how to support a POS with PI in highsec and you dive right into moon mining and mining those yummy lowsec belts! Then after a time the ganking picks up in your little corner of EVE and suddenly you find yourself outgunned or constantly jumping into your fighting ships to repel tourists, gankers, and mission roamers chasing escalations in your backyard. Your productivity is down and your pvp is up, gate camping becomes an interesting diversion and gives you a taste of "fleet" action. Of course this comes at a price, now a good slice of your industrial corp will become enamored with pvp and spend less time mining. You start to get annoyed at the ease with which bigger roams and gangs can pour thru your lowsec home looking for laughs and easy kills on the weekend. Then you start to absorb the other industrial corps in your area because you all feel the same constraints squeezing you and greater numbers hopefully mean quicker responses to threats and thus more time to be about the business of making things that earn profits. However even as a larger corp you never can get a handle on safer operations in lowsec so your eye starts to wander towards nullsec and joining an alliance and reaping the benefits of holding sov.
Of course with the passage of time you make it, woo hoo! You are a nullsec resident miner/ buider/ inventor/ pve & pvp pilot. But there are a few more surprises in store for you, remember that lowly ore veldspar you starting mining as a noob, well you'll be mining it again in your sov because tritanium is essential and the vast quantities of it are now far away in the highsec trade hubs. As an Alliance member you'll be building ships that your corp mates and Alliance mates need for defense and for roams making profits from the building of ships becomes less important then building the ships that will help your alliance hold sov.
You're going to spend a lot more time flying in pvp fleets learning to be a more valuable member of your alliance because the threats to sov trickle thru every week. You will find it less and less compelling to build ships because of the supply chain required to make them is now stretched from nullsec to Jita and your essential import & export routes to highsec can be disrupted by wardecs from freighter killers looking for the JF or cloaky hauler who thinks it won't happen to him until it does. Your best pvp people and fc's to fight back against a wardec are busy defending your sov in nullsec, so your supply route is compromised and your building grinds to a halt.
Nullsec is a wasteland for manufacturing because it is forced to rely upon highsec and the tethers that connect high to null are easily disrupted, add to that the ease for roams to slip into sov space to gank miners who don't keep an eye on local or monitor intel channels for neuts and reds in their area and you quickly enter the zone of diminishing returns.
In my humble opinion Null sec needs the expanded ability to create manufacturing/ trade hubs that are completely autonomous from highsec, which means seeding the systems with gravs and belts that contain all the ores available in empire space with sufficient quantities to support robust building.
As a miner/ builder/ inventor/ pve & pvp pilot that has invested my time to gain the skills to reside in nullsec it seems wrong to have to depend upon highsec for my continued existence. I don't want to be at the whim of wardec corps who have very little risk beyond paying for the wardec they inflict upon nullsec corps and then hang around highsec trade hubs to prey upon haulers. If you consider this an improved wardec system then perhaps I am just not aware of how bad the old system was. Nullsec needs to become autonomous I hope the new members of CSM8 can get that message to CCP.
I am not a highsec basher, I honestly believe the meta game of EVE online is demanding improvements in null so the game can continue it's evolution.
Please join me in voting for MALCANIS for CSM8

Malcanis is top of the list on all my accounts, my pleasure to vote for a good candidate! Best of luck to the 14 candidates who will represent all of us on CSM8. I am hoping they will work together and surprise the hell out of CCP. I hope we get a balance of views to compliment the level headed attitude that Malcanis brings to the table. I hope CSM8 turns out to be the best CSM to date! |

I do not quite get the hostility being directed towards the newly "elected" CSM8 members. If you did not vote for them I can understand you not being enthusiastic, but I can not recall a campaign promise made that was an enormous threat to EVE Online gameplay by any of the major candidates.
Let's say there are 100 things that really need to be fixed in the game. Let's also say the newly elected CSM members decide they can support 25 of those things and will present them to CCP. Of course still hypothetically speaking CCP commits to having the time and resources to fix, and or attempt to fix 15 of these things. If they are fixes for null sec or wormholes or market traders and those areas are not where I play my game does that make them bad fixes? I think not. Improvements to the game are in the long run better for all game players.
My way of thinking resolves this as being a plus of 15 needed fixes for the game I play.
