I am officially announcing my candidacy for CSM. Below are some of the main points of my platform, as well as some information about me.
What have I done in EVE?
I began playing EVE in 2006, and moved to 0.0 shortly afterwards in search of pew and spaceloot. Rising quickly to leadership positions, I spent the majority of two years working with POSes, sov mechanics, logistics, and PVP for a few small alliances. After a short burnout in GÇÖ09, I returned to the game in 2011 and joined up with Hard Knocks [HK] in its infancy, and was soon put in charge of corporate operations, where I helped to build it into the organization it is today. During my time in EVE I have worn many hats and worked with many of the different systems in-game and out of game. I am well aware of their successes and failings. IGÇÖve served in multiple management positions, from recruitment director, to POS manager, to acting CEO. I currently serve as the HK Executive Director/Diplomat.
Who I really am.
I will bring a useful technical and non-technical skillset to the CSM. As a Systems Integrator in real life, I work directly with software engineers and manage projects to completion. I understand the need for powerful design tools, such as the API, which allow independent developers to reach their goals and deliver stellar content. I also know that constant and concise communication and input from these developers is the key to building and maintaining these powerful tools, and I plan on bringing my real-life experience with me to the CSM in that regard.
What will you do for me?
As your elected representative, I will ensure that the opinions that I represent and communicate to CCP are in fact the views of my voting constituency, and not my own personal opinions. While itGÇÖs not always possible to represent everyone, I will ensure proposals which I bring before CCP are properly discussed by the members of the community beforehand, and that all voices and opinions will be heard, equally. I will also make all due effort to assist and guide CCP through the complex POS overhaul project, to ensure that the system that ends up on TQ is a system that is easy to administer for directors and managers, easy to manipulate for industry players, easy to access for regular users, and scalable for the future.
Additionally, we must ensure that the valuable intelligence-gathering tools and methods currently in use in wormhole space maintain their effectiveness during and after the POS overhaul. The ability to see piloted ships that are in a POS bubble, both visually and via directional scanner, is essential to WH scouting and PVP, even more so because we have no other means of gathering intelligence. If GÇ£mooredGÇ¥ pilots are not visible, we run the risk of (player owned) station undock games in wormhole space.
Furthermore, the new POS system needs to have the capability to assemble tech 3 hulls, and by extension, switch subsystems. The addition of this feature into the current or replacement system would be of obvious benefit to current starbase residents, and may actually increase the population in wormhole and known space. Allowing pilots to modify subsystems on strategic cruiser hulls, to fill multiple roles in multiple engagements without purchasing entirely separate ships, will help reduce the cost barrier that many newer players experience when shipping up to these vessels, especially in regions where markets are scarce, or station fitting services are nonexistent.
Finally, the CSM needs to establish a dialogue with the third party developers that create our OOG applications, such as Eve-Kill and EveWho. It is vitally important that the CSM works with those developers to ensure that that the current API and soon-to-be CREST are developed and maintained in a way that allows our GÇ£enablersGÇ¥ to continue creating excellent content delivery systems that are used by players on a daily basis. If weGÇÖre going to have 10 more years of EVE Online, we need to be sure that we lay a framework that will not become compromised by caching restraints, or fails to deliver basic information on a standard API call. OOG tools are crucial to the EVE experience for all players, and itGÇÖs time we saw some focus and development in this area.

As a long-time user of Rengas-dar, I can state that Ayeson has done his best to take care of those wormholers who are victimized by the nasty falconii. As such, I can honestly say that I believe Ayeson would be a good representative of WH Space for CSM.

The WH community is working to get a WH primary that will eventually get the WH dwellers votes, the time is simply not right for multiple WH candidates.
That said, while my support is with James Arget, at least so far you appear to be a good alternative. At least I couldn't see anything that would instantly scream out "hell no", unlike there's been with many others. |

That would seem sensible, as long as you can maintain the appropriate level of goodwill and co-operation for the unsuccesful candidates and their supporters to abide by the result and to not just say 'screw you guys, I'm running anyway' - which can't really be taken for granted amongst Eve players.
If it works out, great. Might have been a good idea to do that before you all started posting your JPSC candidacy threads though!

Wh stabs are a terrible idea.
Now, for the Tl:Dr
CSM8 will provide a vital role in voicing the playerGÇÖs opinion on features that need to be implemented in the POS overhaul, such as T3 assembly and subsystem swapping, and a new corporate role system, or features that need to be kept as they are, such as piloted ships in POSes appearing on directional scanners.
We also have CREST coming to fruition soonGäó and we must ensure that it is given all the capabilities that it needs to create stellar applications, such as a proper caching structure as well as being maintained and documented in a way that doesn't discourage third party player development.
These are the issues I intend to focus on as a CSM, I do not believe Wormholes are broken, or that they need some sort of new dramatic effect to encourage PVP, Tiericide will handle the majority of that for us. As your representative I will focus on the laying the framework for the new POS and API systems that helped make the first 10 years great, and will make the next 10 years better than we all hoped.

A candidate who understands that the CSM position isn't just about going to CCP and demanding a feature you want.
Had a great little chat with Ayeson despite being a complete random stranger. The guy actually took the time to speak and listen.
The kind of person I would trust to approach the CSM position and bring the players wants and needs to the table.
You will get my vote. :) |

Well, they started out in the wormhole subforum so we could argue internally about primaries, and then one of the mods started migrating them over here, and then we all got confused. |

To be fair, that's pretty easy to do to us wormholers.

Nice interview, worth listening to it. I like Ayeson's ideas and believe he would represent our community pretty well, not just wormhole dwellers but also k-space peoples.
Ayeson has Wald's vote. All 2 of them. |

What's your opinion on dread blapping in regards to w-space? Do you think that the various dreads are balanced against one another? |

Hello there!
I would like to name several situations that I feel are detrimental to the game. Give a solution and ask you for your stance on both. I do need answers to all the situations for my vote(s)
POS those three letters bring nightmares to just about anyone having the misfortune of having to operate one. The solution in the long term is obviously modular POS. Yet CCP seems to be backpedaling on implementing this despite the MANY benefits. What is your stance on the possibility of a near term bandage of a form of player POS that is only designed to be the equilivant of a Secure Container for ships until modular POS is ready?
Overpowered passive cloaking. It is now to the point where people are now beyond AFK cloaking but running Twitch.tv streams of enemy stations and systems! Would you support balancing cloaking to punish those who go AFK (Eventually able to be scanned down for decloak) while maintaining the benefits to people actively cloaking (Remaining at their keyboard)
Lack of Ring Mining. Again with the CCP backpedaling despite the many benefits for nullsec and other areas for the game. What is your stand on the crap that is moon mining?
The silly push by some in the community to end or delay "Local" or any effective means for those in a nullsec system to determine if a hostile or unknown is in system in them. This obviously needs no solution but I want your thoughts.
The horrible state of missions in hisec. The solution in my opinion is a complete rewrite to allow for a more incursion like approach that rewards those who want to train up logistic frigs and cruisers or be a specific role in a fleet. Also providing a way for newer players to experience group play in EVE.
Incursion suckage. With the nerfs to Incursions fleets have slowed to a trickle and it was sad to see CCP willing to spend more development time nerfing entire expansions instead of doing what was right being making other aspects of EVE better. Modular POS and Ring mining need dev time sooner so I will admit this ought to be looked at later however I wanted to get your views on them and have this to be some context to the next aspect of Logi.
Logi suckage. Logis do not have the tools to do their job. They need to be able to tell who is locked and taking damage and in large fleets the watchlist can't handle that leading to dependence on broadcasts that most of EVE seems to not know or refuse to use right. Look at any average HQ incursion fleet where people don't broadcast right stressing out logi or in fleet fights where following FCs orders makes it harder to broadcast properly. A solution is a logi only screen that is completely configurable to show who is taking the most DPS and who has the most locks in fleet.
Logi Suckage #2 Reps don't get you on mails? Wut? Solution obviously is to have repping those in fleet land you on killmails generated from fleet. |

Sorry I didn't see this post before.
Currently, Morii are King in WH space because of their weapon system and how they are used. Due to wormhole mechanics, a majority of the larger fights end up concentrated on a hole or on a POS where your fleet is limited in its mobility options, both by wh mechanics and your enemy. This makes most engagements prime targets for a tracking moros, or a blob of them.
Couple this with an intelligent FC who knows how to use a support fleet and a Capital pilot or pilots that have an ample supply of drugs and it's not hard to see why many pilots are upset about getting systematically destroyed, often times by a force that may be of equal size or smaller.
While I believe that using a complete fleet built around dreadnoughts for DPS is not a bad thing, I do think that the moros needs to be reigned in slightly, whether it's a modification to Capital Hybrids or to the Hull's bonuses. En-masse, a well prepared and supported group of 6 morii seems to be nearly unbreakable, and puts out over 100k dps on paper.
Regarding dreads being balanced, aside from the Moros the Naglfar and Phoenix both need some love. I would be very happy If we saw some additional turret and launcher hardpoints on the high slots of the Nag, as well as a revisit to capital torps, so they could actually do some damage to subcapitals.
