Team Super Friends are constantly making quality of life changes to the UI - do you believe they are on the best possible track with regards to the enhancements and fixes, or are there other changes you would encourage them to prioritise? If CCP do not have any resource to make enhancements to the new player experience in the near future, what kind of things are you actively doing yourself to help new player retention? What are your thoughts on skill point loss and clone replacement cost? .

If CCP do not have any resource to make enhancements to the new player experience in the near future, what kind of things are you actively doing yourself to help new player retention? What are your thoughts on skill point loss and clone replacement cost? Thanks for the questions Penelope, I have tried my best to answer them below. 1) There are two answers to this: First one is the "fun" one: Some unnamed person posted a thread on the RvB forums saying why does RvB not run a candidate. The first response was Mangala should do it. The thread spiralled from there. The "serious" one is that while numerous candidates from High Sec have come forward over the past few years, they have never really gained much traction with the voting public. I feel this is because they were usually a tad too radical in their views on pvp, especially in high sec. Which, when the core of the game is about pvp, just would not fly. Now myself, I have several years of experience of high sec pvp under my belt, and a much more open mind on it in general, so while I do not just see myself purely as a high sec candidate, I think someone who actually pvp's representing high sec dwellers is a good thing, and so here I am. 2) Superfriends has my undying love & respect for the work they are doing. They are really on the right path with regards to UI improvements and should I be elected I would relish the opportunity to sit down with them, discuss my own ideas - which seem to dovetail in some ways with theirs (I noted down a wish to drag & drop fleet members a few weeks ago, then suddenly while on vacation it happens!) - and continue their good work of making the client that much better for old & new players alike. 3) I try my best to ensure that new players are socialised as much as possible in order to get to get them to stay. In RvB this takes the form of helping with our Noobfleet initiative - answering questions, providing other assistance and even dueling players to hull - all things which keep them interested in RvB & EVE. Away from RvB, I try to be active in the Help channels in game - again with an aim of socialising newer players, directing them to suitable organisations for their needs. I do this on the forums too regardless of which account I am posting with at the time. It is my strong belief that if a new player gets into the community right away they are more likely to stay than those who are told that corporations will rip you off, wont utilise you, just want you as fodder for enemies guns or even worse are informed by many in their starter NPC corporations that they should mine/mission all alone to make their early isk. 4) I have not really used Strategic Cruisers much in the past, so have not really experienced this for myself, however right now I am training all the sub systems up. Result of this, it seems to me that SP loss from the destruction of your Strat Cruiser is a small price to pay considering how quickly the levels train compared to other ship skills. As for clone replacement costs, they are too much (I just passed the point when clones begin costing 30million isk to replace before any implants go in). When a clone can cost anywhere from 50% of the value/more than the hull you lost before your clone died then surely this can lead to people becoming risk averse, and that is a bad thing for pvp in EVE. Worst case scenario for me is an end to cheap ship combat as everyone starts to reach higher levels of clone costs and invests in expensive "better" hulls as a way to minimise clone losses. It is something I certainly want to bring up - on behalf of all players - with CCP should I be elected or not. Mangala Solaris for CSM 8

The Hero we Deserve! "Having exploded Mangala more than I can remember" How does that make you know he's more than qualified to be a part of the CSM? If you really believe in Mangala Solaris, please stop posting so much **** and spam in this thread. It really kills it. A lot of you see Mangala as a good CSM because he FC's the GANKED fleets. It tell us nothing about Mangala or what he'll do in CSM. To Mangala: What do you think of the war games idea?
Shemmy The Order Of Entropy 5	Posted - 2013.03.14 18:39:00 - [75] - Quote I'm 100% behind Mangala. He's an absolutely stand-up guy (well, except when he's too drunk to stand up, in which case he's a kind of slouched-in-his-directors-chair kind of guy). Mang has done a lot to drive content, drive enjoyment and drive involvement and community spirit within both RvB and the regular Ganked attendees. I think this game will be better off for him having an opportunity to work with CCP, to hold them to account, and to help to give the focus needed to improve the game for newer and more casual players, as well as for those who have to do a ton of regular organising and logistical work. I think everyone who's here loves the core of this game, but there are lots and lots of niggles and "wtf's" that can spoil our enjoyment from time to time. I think Mang is the right person to sort it. I also think that finally having someone on the CSM who's in it to see people have more FUN, rather than more industry/nullsec drones who do it for a second job (no offence, of course) might not be such a bad idea.

Relax have a cup of tea. Null and company already have their candidates line up and with all possible backing. Can't we have one that represents some different way to play the game? Or maybe do you want all the CSM to cater to your play stile?

In other news, there are multiple members of a CSM so that they can reflect multiple different viewpoints, not so that the same old characters can block out all of the spots in order to push their own agendas. Sorry, who's narrow minded? For not wanting to dislike playing EVE?

Mangala Solaris Red Federation RvB - RED Federation 459	Posted - 2013.03.15 12:44:00 - [80] - Quote I Was There wrote: To Mangala: What do you think of the war games idea? Honestly? I love it. Its a great example of the emergent game play found in EVE. If it goes off, then i can see it providing a huge amount of content for those involved at all levels. And even for those not involved like me who would run a few drunk roams into the target region! It is also an excellent demonstration to CCP of what people feel they need to do in creating content when it is apparent that CCP's attempts are somewhat broken (yet another high HP structure grind Sov system for instance). Lets hope if it does happen, that CCP sit up and pay attention. Mangala Solaris for CSM 8

Do you think CCP will redo sov because of this, or will ccp stop developing sov, as we currently found a work-aroud?
Osborn Ready Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 0	Posted - 2013.03.15 22:23:00 - [82] - Quote I definitely will vote for Mangala for CSM if I'm around. Obviously he's done more for RVB than 99% of the rest of the players (That's right: Mangala is a member of the 1%) in RVB. Since RVB affects Eve as a whole in several ways, I think it is in CCP's best interest, as well as players - RVBers or not - to vote him onto the CSM. It should be noted that some have voiced a suspicion he is a Kenyan pretending to be born in Hawaii, but that never stopped anyone from being elected before so I guess it doesn't matter. Personally rather pull out my fingernails with pliers, grind em up with a mortar and pestel and snort it than get involved in Eve politics. Consequently I had no idea how the process worked and had to go go do research just to find out how to vote. So, if you have less interest in the CSM elections, or politics of any kind, than you do waking up with a conjoined fetus growing out of your skull, or are a noob to Eve politics & the CSM here is the link that explains what this thread is about: http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=74283 +ÿ

Make a list of just the CSM 7 members. Now, next to the names you write down the affiliation or group that they represent. Done that? Good, Now from all major groups in EVE, which is the only one that is not directly represented? Notice that there is no RVB in it? Well done, now you have one new piece of information to work with! Lists are a powerful aid in organising your toughs and connecting ideas. They are also called mnemonic matrix if you want to further delve in the subject.

Do you think CCP will redo sov because of this, or will ccp stop developing sov, as we currently found a work-aroud? I Was There, firstly apologies for taking so long to reply to this - and also apologies for my supporters actions in this thread too. Anyway on topic: While it can be viewed as being risk adverse, I do not think that in this situation it is. Basically it comes down to a choice between years of structure grind and probably high player attrition or doing enough of that to break the enemy so they just transfer it all; or avoiding all of the issues and just getting fights to keep your players happy while going to CCP and saying "look Sov grinds are broken, Sov is broken, we cannot/will not fight under it any more.) Hopefully CCP will listen, and soon. A stagnant nullsec is not good at all, after all its the stories of empires rising & falling and the huge battles that entails which brought - and continue to bring - so many players to EVE.

If so why not apply the penalty there? If you choose to reassign the SP on a skill (and it could be a time limited thing - ie one skill every 3 months), the penalty is you lose 25% of the SP you wish to reassign. However, at the same time, I do think that everyone in our time here change our paths, no one ever really stays what they start out as, and collecting a bunch of skills you slowly stop using is part of character & even player development. It also amuses me from time to time to fly battle barges, and then of course battle ventures. Mangala Solaris for CSM 8
