I don't know much about you, but why should I vote for you over DJFunkyBacon,

Another question, why would it be sensible for any TLF FW pilots to vote for an Amarr candidate instead of one of the FW neutral low sec candidates?

Why does it matter if he's Amarr FW?

I don't know much about you, but why should I vote for you over DJFunkyBacon, or should I have both of you on my ballot?

Also, what is your opinion on the recent capital changes in Pheobe?

Moudib:

Hmmm. Not much of an issues conversation started here, so let's see what discussion we can start.

Space has become littered with abandoned POS structures. What is your position on getting rid of them? I'd like to see, perhaps, a orbital degrading mechanic once the fuel is gone. This, then would open up the moons for pilots that will actually use them. The current mechanic, of course, involves Wardec-ing a possibly abandoned Corp and then sitting there for an extended period of time blapping the structures. I think something better is quite possible.

EVE seems to be popularly seen as more than a game, perhaps moving into the hobby realm. I'm aware that some discussions have been held with regard to finding a way to bring a more casual player or a more casual play-style option into EVE. Would you advocate this? If so, how might this be done without fundamentally changing the nature of the game? Would it?

It seems a given that CSM X and CCP will look at dealing with the SovNull question this term. Beyond that, from a gameplay perspective, what would you advocate as the next priority?

EVE players seem to be quite passionate about the game, yet it is said that the voting rate for CSM elections is lower than that of even the United States midterms. Does this diminish the validity of the CSM? What would you like to do to combat the voter apathy that we see and effectively educate the voters on the reality of what the CSM can effectively do?

Finally, and most importantly, do you like cats? :-)

Thanks much!

A few questions for you.

Do you feel that the recent changes to recon ships have put them in a better place and do you think that those changes have improved FW plexing or did they hurt it?

Do you think there should be some kind of range mechanic that doesn't allow ships to use boosters within a certain range of gates, stations or POSs?

What is your favorite thing about FW and what type of things does FW offer that other parts of the game doesn't?

Another question, why would it be sensible for any TLF FW pilots to vote for an Amarr candidate instead of one of the FW neutral low sec candidates?

Not wishing to derail the thread too much it is a question of soft power.

I always enjoy reading your articles Seraph its a shame you don't discuss Low Sec much. You know that wars are not won by pilot skill and military might alone. My question is what is MD offering as an agenda for faction warfare and low sec that would make Minnie militia pilots vote for him despite the assumed downsides of an Amarr representative being on CSM for us.

Namely:

1) Amarr Militia having a direct advocate with the Devs

2) Amarr Militia gaining more publicity from a successful election campaign presumably boosting their recruitment

3) Amarr Militia having the opportunity to lobby for issues that may influence our warzones little eco-system in their favour (and by definition to Minni Militias disadvantage)

4) All the reasons why CFC pilots are unlikely to pick an NCDOT candidate as their first choice and vice versa.

In summary what is MDs election platform? Is he representing the interests of Amarr Militia or FW in general? If FW in general what would MD say to any TLF pilots who may be turned off voting for him due to his faction allegiance?

I would like your honest opinion on FW missions, their affect and influence in being able to single-handedly swing and sustain one factions hold over warzone dominance (i.e. see Amarr/Minnie WZ past 6 years) and the impact non-pvp pilots have in this regard.

I would like you to look past yourself, and your own interests in Isk generation, when I propose the possible Mission Acceleration gate restriction to tech 2 and tech 3 hulls from entering them and your thoughts on it. Thank you, Muad. May you be worth your water.

I apologize for the late response m8, thank you for your time.
1. -FW Missions?- To my understanding running the exclusive FW missions available from your NPC militia corp do not sway system sov in any way. The LP may serve to keep a corps or alliances war chest full, but that should be a viable source for funding a war effort, as well as accumulating standing.
2. -FW Plexing?- True, there was a time when the 'plexing' mechanic in FW was broken, and a single FW site farmer could set a system to vuln in a day or two. Thankfully those have been changed and FW is on the right track for greatness.
