Hello friends
I am Gorski Car. I have been playing eve since 2003 on multiple characters. I was recently added to the current CSM after some dropouts and I am now running for reelection and I really hope we get all the votes this time.
Most of the time in game I spend doing solo pvp/small gang pvp in every part of new eden. I have been doing lowsec, fw, 0.0 and recently I joined RvB to pvp in highsec. I have participated in two alliance tournament teams and the new eden open. I also try to show up for most ingame events.
Most people know me from my postings in the channel "Bringing solo back" and for my stream at http://www.twitch.tv/hkarn where I mostly stream solo pvp.
Feel free to ask me anything!
Contact info:
You can mail me anytime on Gorski Car ingame. Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/hkarn Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Adjedd Twitter: @GorskingCar

Having PvP experience in lowsec and highsec, I am curious on your views on the current game design philosophy of risk vs. reward and the relative profitability of the various spaces.
Decisions by CCP over the years have lead to the strange situation that while many people enjoy PvP in low/WH/null space, they return to highsec to make the ISK to support these habits. This is because the reward of operating in highsec is far too high for the almost complete absence of risk, forcing people who may prefer to live and generate ISK in the more risky spaces to return to highsec to make an income as it is more efficient and thus the only rational choice. Counter-productively, this depopulates these non-highsec spaces and reduces the chances of meaningful PvP.
Comments from members of the current CSM imply that they, and perhaps CCP, are fine with this design. Do you agree that highsec should be where the majority of PvE and other income-generating activities takes place? If not, do you have any concrete suggestions on what could be done to encourage players to spend more time earning ISK outside of highsec? Do you think the better approach would be to reduce highsec rewards, or to increase highsec risk?

I think there is a risk vs reward problem for almost all PvE content in eve. They are currently designed in such ways that the best ship to do them in will have next to zero chance in pvp.
Every part of eve should have the things needed to support people living there in my opinion. I don't think that Sov 0.0 people going back to highsec incursions between call to arms is a good idea. I think the better approach would be to encourage people to try more PvE outside Highsec by changing rewards and the entire way you do the missions. Ideally you would have equal PvE payouts in all types of space.
There is also the problem where you can't force someone to fight and people tend to be very risk averse when the fastest way to run a mission is a 2b tengu and no one is going to bring their 15b Incursion Vindicator to lowsec for a tiny bit more isk.
I used to farm incursions in deep hostile 0.0 and lowsec when they were first released and the payouts they had back then with increased payouts + blitzing was actually kinda good for lowsec and you certainly had risk and my group even lost a couple of Machariels but we did all the sites with full pvp fits so it wasn't a slaughter when some fleet showed up. I think this was a awesome example of how people who normally do pvp could do a pve activity in hostile space and still be able to fight back if someone tries to pull a jackmove on you.

I agree that every part of Eve should be able to support the people living there in some way.
However, I am a little confused with the rest. You think PvE should be equally rewarding in all types of space, by "changing rewards and the entire way you do the missions". If that was the case, why would anyone leave the safest region of space (highsec) if they are only going to get the same reward if they moved to a more dangerous space?
Shouldn't more risky space have more rewarding PvE payouts? Otherwise, why would I risk my ships there for PvE?

I meant that there should be greater rewards for more dangerous space. You should always reward the brave. There are less people out there doing PvE and they should be able to at least compete income wise with someone who only runs missions solo and never really interact with other people in a mmo.

Joke question: will you be stealing CSM ships to sell to anti-CSM teams during a tournament? If so, can I get a good deal on said ships?
Serious questions:
As you were, sadly, not in the initial 14 delegates properly elected and came into your current CSM 9 seat due to CSM 9 members stepping down, what do you feel are the best examples of the work you've done during your, currently, brief time as a delegate?
What do you feel CSM 9 has failed at as a group in serving their role this past year?
What do you feel was your biggest failure as a CSM 9 delegate during your time on council?
Can you please link CCP members this song in the CSM 9 channel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05-c-iy-WnY

As for the first question: I was kicked from PL because Shamis thought I wasn't safe enough to have around the alliance tournament team and therefore not safe to have in PL. The reason Penif didn't protect me was because I never really flew with PL at all. I only joined because I know Lelob and I only stayed because I liked the community (that I still have access to). And for real who needs spies to beat dual tanked vagabonds and beam zealots...
When I came on the CSM halfway through many of the major things in Rhea and Phoebe was already decided so I had nothing to contribute to that. What I did suggest was the removal of anchorable bubbles in Thera. I also supported the removal of clones fully because I think its a mechanic that currently offers no actual gameplay. Nobody ever chooses not to update their clone and the game itself flashes the cloning thing when you die to make sure you remember. It is just an arbitrary fee attached to pvp.
I have not been involved with the csm for the full term so they probably made some failures during the start of the term. There might have been some failures of communication etc that I missed. But for the part where I have been on the csm it has been really great. There are ofc people who are going to work way harder or way less then others but as a group I think we really manage to give good feedback on the things ccp shares with us.
My biggest failure in the CSM so far is that I wont link that song in the csm skype channel ;p For real though I think my biggest failure is that I have missed some meeting because of my real life work schedule. It is a good thing they are recorded.

As a pilot who has flown in a couple of alliance tournaments, both NEOs and SCLs I have to say that I am a big fan of competitive eve. I think that CCP should continue running these events. I think that events like these is a good way to get people into eve because it looks exciting. Competitive eve is also very different from normal eve pvp and it does a good work of bringing bitter vets and people wanting to try something new back to eve pvp. I know personally that I was kinda numb from dumpstering scrubs in lowsec but when I went into my first Alliance tournament was when I got the shakes back that I liked so much from my first moments as a pvper.
Large 2k vs 2k battles in 0.0 battles also do this well but I feel the smaller scale pvp with commentators is a bit faster and more exciting to watch.
In a year I really want ccp to still be doing the tournaments. I think they should keep alliance tournament as the big tournament every year that people look forward to and the one with the biggest reward. I think ccp should be looking into maybe doing some smaller tournaments where people can qualify for neo/AT or win some cheaper prizes.
But I also think that players should take some more responsibility creating these events. Currently these events are kinda hard to arrange for players but the dojo while kinda unrefined is a good start towards making this easier for people to handle.

Thank you for your earlier response.
What is your position on fighter assignment? For example a Nyx assigns fighters from the edge of a POS to a T1 frigate which is somewhere else in the system.
with kind regards l0rd carlos

It is no secret that assigned fighters are way to strong and they don't have any risk at all involved in using them. You can set your carrier up at a offlined POS and just online it as soon as anyone drops you. I have no idea why fighters even can warp or receives bonuses from DDAs, Omnis and drone nav comps while the carrier is not even on grid.
Two of my friends run stiletto + hyena with assigned fighters and the stuff you can kill when you have 4k extra dps provided from off grid is insane. It's like the old gila/worm drone damage exploit except not an exploit. I know there are many things in eve that are not fair or fun for the hostile party but this really is one that needs to be looked at by CCP.

Gorski you're a really cool guy in your own weird ways :-) You had my vote last time and you'll have it again. There's something about you that is very easy to dislike on autopilot, but I get the feeling that when push comes to shove you are able to put on your serious face and do some real good for the game.
I don't know what you did in CSM thus far, and I probably won't have a clue what you'll be doing if you'll make CSM again, my involvement in Eve never went that deep. Which is why I think its important to have at least one pilot who really know solo/smallgang PvP in CSM, to carry the torch for the rest of us.
If I'm not mistaken, you often fly with links. I know many people have issues with OGB, but I like the fact that you really know what it means, to fight a linked ship when you don't have them yourself, the difference it makes. Many pilots just complain about links, but have no idea what it really means. I really liked the way Logan described links in one of his videos "Used and Abused" which is a fine balance. Without links some aspects of smallgang/solo PvP would be destroyed, just as links themselves can destroy the experience for an unlinked solo PvPer. So that fine balanced needs to be addressed by someone who knows both sides of the scale inside out. If some highsec ganker who makes CSM (nothing personal against anyone, I don't even know who else is running for CSM) even touches a links-rebalance issue thinking he/she know what links are, without ever having flown a 5 pilots smallgang w/links deep into null doing gurilla warfare against a 100 locals, not understanding what links mean to those 5pilots in such a situation, then just like that - CSM will fail small scale PvPers instantly. And the same can apply to various other issues.
I'll write something elseI now, that I think is good to just put out there. I feel that CCP fail to give a proper platform to PvP video makers. They are just beginning to understand the "power" of videos, but they are still babies when it comes to this point.
Personally I got plenty attention, views, criticism, feedback for my videos. But I throughout the years I have seen dozens and doznes of solo/smallgang PvP videos that were literally much better than mine, go almost completely unnoticed, and fade away with only a couple hundred views. CCP fail to understand the influence that a good Solo PvP can have on bringing new players into the game. I got more messages through youtube than I could count, of people that never played the game having seen my videos, asking me questions about if they should begin playing, and how... It would be to the incredible benefit of CCP to create some sort of platform for PvP videos to be seen in an "official" capacity.
To take it out of the "elite/myeve/out-of-reach" mindset (that's basically an illusion anyway) niche it got to become, where experienced pilots brag to the other 10 experienced pilots who roam the same subforum, and rarely get seen by the other 99.9% population of New Eden, and more importantly, the population of people who haven't created an account yet, but would have access to see those videos in one way or another if such a platform would be created. Eve has the outside world's curiosity, it always had, it always will. And there are few better examples of the beauty of Eve than solo/smallgang PvP. Anyone can feel the pure fun of the player when watching a good smallgang pvp video, even people that never played the game can sense it. I don't think CCP realize how many subscriptions they got.. say in the last 3 years.. from people running into random solo/smallgang PvP videos in youtube.
When a Solo PvPer roams endlessly (time-wise), against the odds, through the blob losses, and records. Then edits a video, which can be a time consuming huge effort in itself... Then finally releases it, only to recieve 400 views and a bunch of criticism from elitists (because more or less only the experienced pilots get to see his video, rather than a whole bunch of "cool!" from less experienced pilots), then it's very easy to give up on ever doing it again, and even resent the game for it. CCP don't see that those pilots are offering them gold for free. They do things like this contest for video makers, to make a new trailer "This Is Eve" style, which is a cool idea, but it can even do some intentional harm. Think about all those that created videos and never got a second look, they don't have the amazing editing skills that CCP want for that grand prize, what they have is skills, understanding of the game, and patience to roam until they find those rare fights, and records them, and edit them the best they can, into their own little PvP masterpiece. It will never be a top edit piece of cinematic, but it will have the true essence of Eve inside of it. The spirit of the PvPer. They don't need some 100 PLEX. Heck even 1 PLEX through a buddy link (in their video description) or a donation from a viewer that enjoyed their video, can be infinitely more substantial for them than some grand prize. Give those pilots a new platform, that can be "theirs", and just watch how much life is injected into smallscale PvP. It can be an alliance tournament level excitement all year round.
It is very easy to overlook solo and smallgang PvP, because on the surface it seems like a small part of a big game. But it is not so. First and foremost Eve is a PvP game. And a true PvP game without the possibility of a healthy Solo PvP aspect... is a dead game!
Make small scale PvPers happy, and you'll see the effects on the entire game. More players, more activity in previously dead systems/constellations, more videos, more creativity, more general understanding of mechanics, more fit discussions, more everything. It will leak to every other aspect of the game. It won't be noticeable that the things are connected, it'll be hard to connect the dots. But the connection is there, in the very core of the sandbox. |

Gorski, you did some solo pvp streaming right? and when u streamed u put a small cyno icon to help avoid stream sniping?
CCP tried to make more ppl stream, even creating a new ingame twitch support. But it didn't work. The number of streamers stays very small. Compared to other MMOs Eve is one of the weakest in pvp streaming.
I know a few ppl that are very good at pvp and would like to stream, but gave up on it. the reasons are that Eve is already so hard to find good fights in, solo, duo, trio or small gangs, becoz u always find blobs more than anything. Then to add on top of that the risk of getting stream sniped is just too much hassle. They tell me it feels like they are working for CCP when they stream. Can u relate to that statement?
What do u think, if anything? can be done to make eve more streaming friendly? or is eve just really unrepairable bad for pvp streaming? |

Yes I do indeed stream at twitch.tv/hkarn. When I was in pandemic legion I put a badly photosho...painted image of a cyno as overlay it was mostly as a joke. I streamed without any delay or anything blocking my screen. I actually very rarely got streamsniped :( I would welcome it most of the time since it's a fight at least. I understand that streaming sometimes can get a bit frustrating in a intel intensive game as eve but it's your own choice. Some like it some don't. I think eve is decent for pvp streams there are a couple of semi big ones and ppl can have success doing it.
And Jimmy Jams/Aldap: Thanks for your support. I actually sold my link alt recently and I would love ccp to support movie makers more but there is also stuff you players can do in form of rewards (think one man crew) or sponsorships.

That first question is quite big and a really hard one to answer. I think that Faction warfare could be a great starting point for people wanting to do small gang pvp and then branch out into doing solo stuff during downtime/when no one else in your group are online.
The problem with solo pvp is that it is a isk sink for 99% of all players and people just don't like losing isk. This could be offset by doing a fw plex to pay for your ship pretty much. I honestly think that the best way and the way most people got into solo pvp was by watching pvp videos like Garmonation etc and thinking "I can do that". I would want ccp to promote good videos better and they are doing a bit better but there are still more to do.
One thing people need to understand with small gang is that you don't need to instantly jump into the endgame Orthrus + Machariel + snakes and links small gang fleets just to stay competitive. Running small cheap gangs such as just a bunch of cruisers with 1 logi or maybe remote rep tristans/vexors is a cheap way to get into pvp and a way to cause a lot of damage.
Same thing with solo pvp. i really think everyone should do buy 5-100 of a ship and t1 fit it + just go out and fight in faction warfare space. While you will die a lot you will learn what every ship can do and what your ship can do very well. This is a very useful skill that has uses for all types of warfare.
I don't think you can force people to go out and solo pvp and I don't think most people really care that their pvp is skill intensive or anything. It's more of a pressing f1 + bullshitting with your friends playing a social game. I do this sometimes because it's relaxing and fun to talk to your friends. If someone doesn't want to solo pvp they probably won't go into it with their full hear and maybe go lose a ship and have no fun at all.
The thing is solo pvp isn't very rewarding most of the times. The more experienced you get the more you know what you can and can not attack and this turns roams into endless parts of either no people or people you just can't fight. I don't know if it is the bitter vet in me speaking but you turn more risk averse and then miss those fights where you couldn't win on paper just looking at what they have and what you have but when you actually go and do it you find out that they wasn't perfectly skilled with a perfect fit and you actually came out ontop. And this is where you really get the rewards of solo pvp, killng a bigger fleet or even a single upship kill is so rewarding and you know that it is all you.
So to sum things up: I would like ccp to promote solo/small gang pvp videos more. Tell more people about faction warfare and that you don't need 1b ships to win. Get people to join a pvp corp that promotes solo/small gang pvp. Make everyone understand that solo isn't going to be for everyone in a MMO it is a social game after all.
I will answer the ship balance question tomorrow!
