EVE is currently divided into large powerblocks that result in heavy fights in 0.0 with over 1200+ in local on a regular basis, infact the powerblocks have only grown in size since my entry into the game.

I think it's great that devs like Veritas and Masterplan have optimized the client and the lag situation to the point that we can once again have 1000+ person battles. They make EVE epic, and distinguish it from WoW, or any other MMO on the market. 30-man slapfights happen daily, but when you have a 2000-man battle, people remember those fights for years. We're still talking about F-T, five years later.
Quote:GoonSwarm is a pretty large EVE Alliance and I think it's pretty safe to say that you will get elected into the CSM. But can you honestly say that you represent EVE's best interest and not GoonSwarm's best interest? In other words, are you willing to go against tactics that are heavily favoured by GoonSwarm in combat for example? (Any examples of your actions in the past year to this point would be very appreciated)
Sorry for not fitting into your preconceived notion: I'm a vehement advocate of rebalancing Technetium moons, depsite being one of the largest Tech-holders in the game. GSF makes stupid amounts of isk from Tech, and I'm trying to have that nerfed.
Quote:Tech 2 BPOs are widely discussed and are in themselves a controversial subject. I recently sold mine off because I don't have the time to keep up a huge production line going anymore. But what are your thoughts on these? Do you want them removed? Is it realistic to remove them given how much isk they are selling for at this current time? How do you see their role at the moment?
T2 BPOs come up every election cycle. They're dumb. They've always been dumb. I'd like to see invention buffed to render T2 BPOs essentially meaningless. It's not realistic from a business perspective to have them removed, but invention buffs can make them increasingly less relevant.
The T2 BPO lottery was introduced by our dear friend T20. It was a terrible system. T2 BPOs themselves are stupid. The people who smugly bleat about how they're great, and inevitably come calling to my threads when I say T2 BPOs are dumb, are entitled old-guard apologists who deserve only scorn and condescension.
Quote:This thread is incredibly long and I don't have the stamina to look through ALL of your posts. But if you could change three things in EVE right now, what would it be?
*Dead Horse/Modular Pos implementation *Risk/Reward Balance in Null (Farms and Fields, Tech fix, making sov meaningful) *Further Iterative Ship Balance: there's still a shitpile of spaceships that are essentially useless in this game about spaceships.

No decent Damage report window. No way to turn off the "popup" damage window without turning off damage reported to logs. Logs are Crap.
What I would like to see is something more alone the lines of a scrolling Overview for damage. Basically a window that acts very similar to the way the Overview works (including a ton of filters). It also needs to have abbreviated damage messages.
If this is to much to ask, have the log written to the .txt file in realtime instead of when you warp off, that way we can write our own damage parsing programs.
Seems like the kind of tweak that you should post in one of Soundwave's 'little things' threads; if you put it in there, these days it'll probably get in, since CCP is focusing (wisely) on polish and usability. The Office of the Chairman: A Thread for Constituent Issues |

Agreed about the wardec mechanics - I'm hoping for a big revamp/fix with the summer expansion.
And I know what the problem is with the BBCode parsing - it doesn't like URL parameters inside markup, which is probably some massively over the top security checking, but breaks pretty much every modern site.
I plan to find and hit the dev responsible for that with a brick (brick optional) during fanfest. Kelduum Revaan CEO, EVE University

Just use the link button they have, even enables a nice cover for your link. But that is broken as well, dont erase the http they give you in it. They do seem over burden by security.
Also what is this wardec revamp people are talking about?
I thought if dec shields were taken out, without a balance for it, more people would vote for kelduum. Signature removed, CCP Phantom |

For small gang/solo pvp the sabre is the only good dictor, and with the buffs to AF's, blasters, and destroyers, dictors in general have received ninja-nerf after ninja-nerf. While I doubt it is a high priority, would you support a buff to dictors, particularly for the "other races," so that we wouldn't have to fly almost exclusively the sabre, and if so, what would you change? |

It is a shame that the Eris and Flycatcher are such crap compared to the Sabre. The Heretic is suboptimal but at least functions in a solo/smallgang way.
It's not a particularly high priority, though. There's a host of ships that need to be rebalanced first for being completely useless under any circumstances; even the Eris is good in a fleet and serves a useful function, unlike, say, a Bellicose.
The actual EFT-warrioring I'd delegate to whoever the EFT candidate is. In CSM6 that was Prom, and he did sterling work on the hybrid and assault frigate tweaks. The Office of the Chairman: A Thread for Constituent Issues |

It took them quite a lot of effort to render and introduce the new nebulae in normal space, and while I don't object to the idea of tweaking the skyboxes in w-space, it's not really a sucking chest wound or priority issue. I'd rather the Art guys focus on the spaceships, not merely v3ing the minmatar/amarr, but re-doing some of the awful models - rookie ships (in progress) and the Bellicose hull (holy crap, the Rapier/Huginn look stupid, ugh) just off the top of my head.

I'm really glad there's been some progress on this issue and I was pleased to read in the minutes that it's something the CSM has been pushing for. I'm eager to see the new rookie ship designs. If I hadn't been joining goons when I first started playing this game and had just tried it out on my own, there's a good chance I would have quit after seeing my first ship (Reaper, lol). I mean, as dumb as the Impairor may look (a flying beak? wtf?), at least it doesn't look like a flying pile of garbage or a dentist's chair.
I really don't know what CCP could have been thinking. If you want people to try this game and like it, the first ship they see up close should look badass, even if it's only a rookie ship. Even the Minmatar shuttle looks pretty badass compared to the Reaper.
Of course, I'm sure they'll all say that rookie ship redesign is purely a nullsec powerbloc issue.

First off, let me say that it seems you've overall had a positive influence on the game during your time as chair of CSM6, and that I think your positions of most issues seem to make sense to me. So good job on that.
Now on to my question. Keep in mine I have basically no experience with null-sec except for what I've read on the forums or heard from random people, some of which may not be reliable information.
My question is about the dependence of null-sec alliances on Jita for equipment and whatnot. Is the disparity in cost really so high that you are literally dependent on Jita? Earlier in the thread someone talked about a large imbalance between cost/effort and profit to be made from manufacturing in null. What causes this large imbalance? Is there a scarcity of resources in null-sec or is there some other large obstacle that's in the way? Is this only an issue for people looking to make money in null-sec or is it also an issue for alliances that want to be self-sufficient?
I was chatting with a friend about this issue and he brought up the point that it makes sense that hi-sec space has more efficient production seeing as it is an established and safe. However it seems to me that as you've said, it would be nice for large powerblocs to be able to build their own empires of sorts and become self-sufficient and independent, at least to a degree. Is this currently impossible or what? I'm just curious about the details of the matter.
tl;dr: Why are null-sec alliances dependent on Jita and hi-sec?
If anybody is interested in taking the time to educate this capsuleer, it would be much appreciated. |

It's mostly an issue of a lack of low-end minerals for the risk. Mining in null is risky, and since you can just compress and import from Jita there's not much point. People aren't going to mine in null in the first place since high-end minerals are devalued due to the endless stream of highends coming from drone alloy drops; they're certainly not going to mine /veld/ in null.
There's also trouble with manufacturing slots or lack thereof. In general the simplest solution is to just fill up a jump freighter from Jita and hop it out. The Office of the Chairman: A Thread for Constituent Issues |

I guess that's where the idea of "super-veldspar" comes in? What other potential solutions, if any, have been proposed? I've already heard of the idea of removing drone alloy drops, but that wouldn't solve the manufacturing slot issue.
Also, if you get rid of "gun-mining", do you think it would cause issues in high-end mineral supply seeing as gun-mining is apparently more efficient than actual mining? If so, is there a way to combat this or are you of the opinion that it would be healthier for the game to cut down on the supply of high-end minerals? |

Superveld is one such idea, but a full farms and fields revamp is needed for null. Some other ideas include incentivizing invention by giving superior success chances on invention jobs in sov space.
Drone bounties are on the way. It's unquestionably needed - mining is pointless due to alloy drops. The Office of the Chairman: A Thread for Constituent Issues |

Although Incursions have helped improve the PvE experience, they don't really seem like entry-level content and many new players (at least those who stay in hi-sec) still more or less rely on missioning or mining to make their first small fortune, and I think most of us can agree that those are pretty soul-crushingly boring tasks (at least alone it is. Mining in gangs, especially in low-sec, seems like it's much more tolerable; possibly even enjoyable!). While this might not be a massive problem per se, I think that making these tasks more involved/interesting/enjoyable would affect a fairly large population of the EVE playerbase.
How much of a priority do you consider this issue? How much of a priority does CCP consider it? Any news of ideas for possible fixes? I would ask about future plans but I suspect that any existing plans are covered by the NDA. |

Mr. Chairman the Crucible patch released today has completely wrecked the Mac client.
EVE is unplayable on Mac systems at the current time.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would comment on how this complete cluster_____ could have happened.
I understand Mac users are a minority but CCP posted no warning of disparate treatment when i signed up and I expected them to do their part as long as i paid.
Absent that perhaps CCP should offer a buyout to Mac client users, refund my money, and i'll write off the time spent to harsh lessons learned.
Just shelved my idea about buying a PS3 for Dust. CCP can't handle intergration between Mac and PC imagine the screwups when they try to support a game console. I hope someone from Sony is aware of this total fiasco. I have an XBOX and a Wii but looked forward to Dust on a new system, however now due to CCP's poor customer service that idea is canceled, amazingly CCP's poor implementation skills are already loosing money for Sony.
Thanks for reading this.

Have you tried using an alternate method, rather than the Mac Client? CCP gave up on the Linux client because running the Windows client through Wine worked better than the Linux client.

In other words, the mac client is just the windows client running through a pre-packaged wine distro.
