That's two big questions. The first part I have posted a lot about in this thread; as with the '92 US election, the core issue is "It's the economy, stupid". Have you read what I've written here on the subject?
The actual mechanics of industry... that's a pretty big question. Heck that deserves its own thread and honestly, it's outside my scope.

COSMOS 2.0 turns this on its head, allowing the player community to build up infrastructure all over the universe. Utilizing new environments, empty Deadspace pockets and other cosmic resources, players will be able to build Complexes to exploit key resources. Our role in this is to expose the canvas to the playerbase and create a big palette of cosmic paints. It will no doubt be a long, hard road, but the destination will be worth the effort.

Yes, I did read what you wrote, though I feel it was mostly about balancing industry between high/low/null. I am more interested in ways to make real industrial corporations that aren't just about mining and a place to chat.

That kind of vertical integration is a player interaction issue (and thus of interest to me). Speaking from my rather superficial knowledge of industry, I'd hazzard that there are two factors acting against it, and I'm not sure that either of them are sucseptible to CCP rememdies. First, a lot of industry happens far away from where the mining that supports it does (I am thinking especially of capital and supercapital production here). Secondly, a single industrialist can easily consume far more minerals that a single miner can output.
So a vertically integrated corp that produces from its own output is going to be a small kernel of manufacturers surrounded by a large pith of miners and haulers.
One example of vertical integration that did work (from a productive point of view) was IRC before the drone alloy removal. I think that this was a special case and unlikely to be repeated with the current economic model.

I haven't had any direct experience of it yet. So far as the part of it that provides clearer guidance as to the consequences of what you're about to do goes, I have no problem with whatsoever. I place no value in obscure mechanics and hidden timers that serve no real purpose other than to punish you for not knowing about them.
I'm all in favour of the new bounty system, although it's not precisely what I had in mind. At any rate, it's a jillion times better than the laughable non-system we had before.

Whereas the new suspect flag, and the way in which it's used as a hammer to screw in screws (killrights, "limited engagements" through stealing anything from anywhere) is an utter hoot and definitely isn't a direct nerf against oh I dunno freighter/industrial ganks.

Plus it has generated some absolutely first class drama. While the new bounty system is all well and good (and I keep making money every time I undock and shoot someone in the face, even in nullsec), the way the new killrights system is designed for "bounty huntres", i.e. where they still have to activate a suspect status instead of being assigned a killright from someone and have a limited engagement right against that one player, and if they did kill that guy they got a specific bounty which the original killright owner had put on the hit contract ... is dumb, and CCP should feel ashamed for wasting such a good opportunity to make that an actual viable profession anywhere in the game.
Instead of just going "well if you want to be a bountyhunter, do it in lowsec", because of course that's where all the people to hunt for bounties are.  Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home. |

I'm completely with you here. I've seen some of those noob bashers too lately. One was obviously bringing a procurer, a legion and an assault frig, multiboxing three accounts. No idea what makes people do this. But I think we need to have more protection in the rookie systems by specifically tightening up some rules.
Maybe also, that the dueling system will improve the situation here somewhat. This remains to be seen.
Another issue for the rookies are mining barges and exhumers in the rookie systems and the 1.0 or 0.9 systems on their immediate borders. They should be able to concentrate on learning to handle the interface and how things work together in the game. They shouldn't have to spend lots of time just to find some roids to mine in their first two or three days.
A mining barge or an exhumer have nothing to do in a rookie belts. In my opinion they shouldn't be in the border system either, but that's debatable ofc. Remove insurance. |

You don't address fact that solo pvp doesn't exist (almost entirely).
,
Solo PVP is alive and kicking. I don't know what game you, or everyone else who claims 'solo is dead' plays. I have only played for 4 months now and have found consistent and viable solo pvp.
As for Malcanis, I really like your ideas, specifically for the changes to highsec. You have a good platform and a very sensible vision for the game. It is essential that high sec change, but in a reasonable manner - which I believe you understand and envision, but as you stated fixing null sec is the much larger problem. Some people want to drastically change high sec and get everyone into low and null but any drastic change to the game is a bad one, first and foremost, as this game is a delicate balance interconnectedness and has a serious micro and macro economic system established that has widespread effects with every change. Secondly, high sec is a viable and essential environment of the game, it is a concentrated center for commerce and industry and is the only place for new players to work to get a footing so they may have any semblance of a change in low or null. What you propose are sensible and realistic changes to the game. I hope they may be heard and implemented. |

It's important to intuitively understand that not everyone is looking for the same experience when they log into EVE. There are some things that EVE will never be able to provide. If you just want to do co-op quest grinding then you're shopping in the wrong store. But I (and I think CCP) want to see the widest possible range of player expectations catered to within EVE that it is possible to have without diluting the essential "Everyone vs Everyone" nature of the game that was the founding vision.
With specific reference to hi-sec, I outright reject the idea that it should be for "carebears" or in any way presented as or allowed to assumed to be a "PvP free zone". Empire is intended for casuals, not carebears in my view of things. Vote for Malcanis for CSM8 https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=192717&find=unread |

I have a question, but it needs a bit of a intro.
In LS today is hard to "lurk" around without being chased and killed in short order. So new player have problem with the initial steps in PVE, industry or socializing in this environment. I can honestly say that all players that I know started making contacts in HS with established corps before making the move to LS.
And now for the question: Do you see this scenario as a problem or LS is fine the way it is? Would you support some mechanic that makes it more safe for people to fleet with strangers without being blown up? Would you have any other alternative ideas to help newbs give their first steps in LS? |

Would demonstrate flashy knife skills however. Or require a comedy amount of transglutaminase.
And to avoid another ISD purge, moving on to an actually serious question now.
With the promise of the Gnosis being an actually-available ship but only obtainable through some mysterious means, how do you feel about more semi-rare and unique ships being obtainable like this in a way beyond mere isk? Assuming CCP have methods to A: Control the introduction of these into the economy, without B: Being 1-shot ships like the alliance tournament vessels.
I quite like the idea of this, as it gives some additional long-term ship goals beyond 'Get space coffin, quit playing, win EVE' that are potentially within the reach of the everyman (and as long as these things don't turn up for Aurum I'd be happy).
Any thoughts on all this?
