Greetings.
I'm Corbexx and I'm announcing my intention to run for CSM X.
Last year was a bit of a rush for me, with me deciding to run at the last minute, This year I'm much more prepared. Being already on CSM 9 means should I get elected I can hit the ground running and hopefully accomplish even more.
I started playing Eve over 5 years ago, after some real life friends moved in to a wormhole. I joined them and spent 4 months in a C3 wormhole, then we left for null sec for 10 months and became a director. I got tired of that and then moved back to highsec and spent a couple months doing level 4 missions while I finished a few skills for my first big wormhole corp CCRES. After 6 months, I moved on to AHARM and am now in Exceed, part of NOHO. I also have a successful T3 production and cap building corporation.
Some of the things I have done while in these alliances include:
- Lots of pvp.
- Running reaction pos's in nullsec.
- I was the diplomat for AHARM.
- Planning and executing invasions on other wormholes.
- Helping to defend wormholes.
- Helping organise large multi alliance wormhole fleets.
- Being part of some truly great wormhole fights. Probably the most memorable was taking a armour fleet with triage support and an officer fit moros in to a pulsar, against 3 times the caps and coming out on top.
- Representing W-space on CSM 9.
I'm running mainly as a wormhole candidate again as that's what I know best, though I do have a lot of industry experience as well.
Some of the work I have done this year on the CSM.
- C1 to C4 pve testing, leading to some nice buffs to W-space.
- Loads of pos research, with over 100 questionnaires sent out and the information sorted for CCP.
- A wormhole general little things thread, leading to loads of small upgrades (sigs ID's staying over downtime, D scan and probe scanner being split).
- A wormhole pve little things thread.
- Multiple wormhole townhalls,
- Attended all Sugar Kyles eve uni chats.
- PvE sounding board with players and some CCP Developers (which has been really constructive).
- Managed to attend all meetings with CCP except 1 (approximately 30 or so).
- Be incredibly available to W-space people, with over 370 people now having access to me on skype, and answering 20 to 40 eve mails a week.
- Written up more than my fair share of summit minutes.
What will you get from me.
Some one who has very good wormhole knowedge and experience. While my main lives in a C6 wormholes I have alts in several lower class wormholes, and understand issues they have in them. I'm some one who isn't affraid of work and will happily put in HUGE hours to get stuff sorted. I have good communication skills, and will happily chat to anyone about issues. Someone who is no nonsense,be you a solo player, ceo of a huge allaince or a CCP dev, If your idea is good I'll tell you that, if its terrible, I'll tell you that as well. Experience, I have a much better understanding on how the CSM works now, and how to get the most for people I'm representing.

Fully support Corbexx and will have him on the #1 spot on my list. He goes out of his way to reach out and get feedback and opinions from every wormhole corporation out there, from all classes of systems and demographics. If you live in W-Space and you don't vote for Corbexx, you're doing it wrong and you should feel bad.

Corbexx has been doing an outstanding job on CSM 9, and I am happy to fully endorse him next time around. He has been putting a ton of work into the CSM process, far more than I ever did, and he has been getting results. If you live in w-space and don't vote for him, I will personally invade your hole and evict you.

+1. Corbexx has been excellent this year and I expect no less going forward.
Also, I am slightly afraid to *not* endorse him after he picked me (90kg) up and threw me over his shoulder like I was a sack of flour at FF a couple years ago...
Best of luck, my friend. You have my vote. |

Corbexx has been an outstanding CSM rep, both in general and for wormhole space in particular. He has worked his tail off for both low-class and high-class holes. I don't have to wait for my annual endorsements post to tell you I endorse him wholeheartedly for CSM X.
He should be at the top of your ballot if you care about wormholes.
Thanks for all your hard work, Corbexx, keep it up.

I will be voting for Corbexx. The blue loot buy order increases have made it much easier to fuel my POS and still make a profit in a C2 wormhole all by myself. And that's just my favorite thing he did...

I can not speak highly enough of what having Corbexx appointed as the wormhole delegate has accomplished in terms of building understanding with CCP in regards to the wormhole communities unique needs and concerns.
We can at times as a community be a divided house of cats. It is my opinion as a pilot, as a member of the wormhole community and as the CEO of a wormhole corp that we could not ask for a better representative of our needs and culture to CCP then Corbexx.
The man has proven himself more then up to the task and is always available to discuss concerns or hear ideas on how to make our little piece of eve a better place.
You can count on Un.Bound's support for as as long as your to provide your time into the future, and have our gratitude for all the time and effort you've already put in for us.
TL;DR
Step 1: vote Corbexx
Step 2: Profit!

Voted for you last election and will do so again. You were the character that got me into wormholes and I haven't looked back since.
Corbexx has gone above and beyond what is required for the wormhole community during his time as a CSM member. The wh townhall meetings have been an outstanding success where we have managed to hear many different points and get ours across. His work on the income for wormholes has not gone unnoticed, neither have his efforts overall.
Corbexx is a silent (not so much) guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. (Okay so that last bit was stolen from Batman and I am not even sorry )
Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Corbexx, I voted for you last year, and I greatly appreciate the work you've done for the wormhole community. The new shattered wormholes look awesome, and I'm sure you've been weighing in on their development. My primary point of concern i the fact that you sat through the meeting in which CCP announced their decision to remove high sec awoxing and said almost nothing. Could you elaborate on your feelings on this topic?

Not everything from the meeting is in the minutes, Going back and looking through them there is actually a fair bit I said in them. I remember that meeting very well as it became pretty heated. First I think you mean the corp on corp aggression not axowing as awoxing is different.
Corp mechanics are INCREDIBLY complex, very unintuitive. At the moment the optimal way to play in hisec and be safe is to be in a npc corp. Removing the corp on corp in hisec is a good thing for newbies who just don't understand the game mechanics. Yes there will be issue, yes it will affect RvB and eve uni. but on the whole I think its for the better. You can still infiltrate a corp and steala nd rob them blind, no issue there.
Every month I go to both of Sugar Kyles Eve uni chat, and this is brought up every month as a issue.

I realize corp theft is a major point of gameplay in wormhole space, but it in not available in most cases in high sec. Corporations in high sec don't have in space assets in general and function more like communities than cohesive entities. These groups will be virtually impervious to intra-corp aggression unless massive amounts of resources are thrown into suicide ganking their mission ship. If this change occurs there will be no reason to join corps in high sec at all for theft or aggression because a wardec or suicide gank will be required to achieve the same goal. I have a number of friends that are ready to cancel their accounts if this change goes though.

Unfortunately this has lost you my votes, you were in my top 5 last year. I do not agree that this change will be an improvement to gameplay for anyone. There are ways to protect yourself from intracorp aggression and simply removing it only helps the corporations that can't be bothered to take the proper measures. As far as I'm concerned this will do harm to Eve's position as a violent and treacherous game world without actually providing any benefits. People will still remain in NPC corps to avoid war decs.
Sabriz for CSMX!

the first part all depends on numbers which I'm affraid I just don't have.
You do realise you can still do corp on corp in nullsec, lowsec and w-space so your friends can still do what they have been doing. I'm not sure why they have to stay in hisec to do this but if there is please mail me lettering me know.

My counter statement to that would be that it means corporations who chose to remain in HS are immune to it. If I want to bring down a corp I'm going to have to infiltrate and either steal everything or convince them to give me shares, which is true in all space. But if I want to just dish out some quick justice without actually destroying the whole corp, I can now do this anywhere except HS.
Step 1 to making HS a theme park.

Stop thinking of this as a "you can pvp anywhere" thing. Let me use a real example. I had someone I wanted to target that is a high sec mission runner. My ability to suicide gank such a target is extremely limited especially since he was flying an armageddon with an extremely heavy tank. Any attempt to gank him would cost far more than the ship is worth and require many people. Wardeccing would just cause him to close corp and make a new one. This leaves three options:
1. Get him to leave high sec (ccp kindly added popups warning that you are leaving high sec. This isn't easy) 2. Trick him into a limited engagement (I was assuming he was smart enough to not fall for this) 3. Convince him on an alt to let me join his corp.
This is not a new player. He has been playing eve significantly longer than I have, so I doubt cheap tricks with lying about game mechanics will work. My only option was to gain his trust, but with the changes in the future, this will be useless.
Also, the move to low sec suggestion is insulting. I do pvp in low, but it is an extremely target poor environment unless you join an extremely large corp/alliance. Null is even worse for small groups, and is even more inaccessible from high sec, and as much as I love w-space the gameplay there is very different.
Good luck on your campaign.

Prior to knowing your position on intra-corp aggression I had intended to have you on my list of recommended candidates.
However, if you are successful in achieving a major increase in safety for career empire PVEers (the targets of highsec corp infiltrators), you'll simply accelerate the trend toward nullsec and wormhole players carrying out their wealth generation activities in highsec instead of fighting to assert their ability to generate wealth in dangerous space.
You'll also remove one of the best ways for rookie players to get their first PVP experiences. AWOX ransoming is something I have seen several people do as their first step into the sandbox, and the thing that broke me from my initial EVE path of 'level up my Dominix' was a mercenary infiltrating my first corp and blowing someone up to fill a contract.
I don't live in wormholes, and even I've noticed the number of people migrating out of them over the last couple of years, as people move their ISK generating activities to highsec and grind incursions in relative safety. I hear the wormholer complaints 'there's too many predators, not enough prey' and as a WH outsider I'm concerned that W-space may end up looking even more like non-FW lowsec if there's many more buffs to highsec safety.
Newer players should be given firm warnings that joining a corporation opens them up to intra-corp PVP (a dismissable warning that's the reverse of the one you are given when you join a fleet), but it's not new players in their battlecruisers and Ventures that get shot in infiltration/AWOX incidents, it is career PVEers and miners in their Orcas and pirate faction battleships. The first unplanned PVP most new players encounter is a gatecamp when they derp and buy a skillbook in a dangerous lowsec system, not an AWOXer.

By mayor safety you mean corp on corp agression being removed, I really can't see this suddenly getting people from null or wormholes to farm isk in hisec, Lets be honest if people in null and wormholes wanted to do that it could easily be done now, and in a fair few cases is done already, So yeah not something to worry about at all from that POV.

Incursion yes I agree is a issue, However if you listen to as many people as I do about wormholes it seems the C1 to C4 is picking up nicely with all the nice buffs they have gotten recently, C5 and C6 are still doing ok. but could do with some loving. Its my next project to look at. I don't think there is any issue of w-space turning in to non-FW Lowsec.

Do you have any figures on this, several people out of what, all the new players who have started since you have been playing? Since you have been in code? Do you have any idea how many players do the corp on corp aggression, compared to how many new players have left over this?

My support for you would have been for the work you did in encouraging PVE in dangerous space, particularly the sleeper loot changes. I still regard that as excellent work and would support changes to make other forms of wealth generation activities (such as mining) more viable in WH space.
EVE needs more incentive to be undocked and active in dangerous space, whether that activity is fighting rats, mining, running exploration sites or whatever, and the more those activities reward risking valuable assets the better the game.
Back to the point of contention, starting with the question of newbies.
People AWOX ransoming as newbies - I only have anecdotes, no hard numbers. It's a rare occurence (despite my efforts to advise people in the forum newbie areas of the option) and most people that do it as newbies are people that lose a ship to highsec predators, then ask questions like 'how did you do that?' and get the necessary tips.
Most newbies never realise it's an option. But where else can a 500k skillpoint character without external ISK injection win a decisive PVP victory solo in EVE through their own cunning, preparation and initiative?
You claim new players leave over intracorp aggression. What do you define as a new player? I've been in and out of the main channel where these sorts of attacks are organised, and as a result I know the people involved in these shenanigans target corps with Orcas, pirate faction battleships, Marauders and empire navy battleships. Expensive ships. They watch traffic in level 4 mission hubs. If their targets were new players, they'd be going after places like Simela (level 2-3 SoE mission hub) and the newbie cruisers there.
The main people that are hit hard by highsec intracorp aggression are people settling into a career of highsec mission running or highsec mining. EVE will not hold 90% of those people once they finish the process of levelling up from a Dominix to an Ishtar to a Proteus to a Vindicator to a Kronos (or their Retriever into a Mackinaw) unless they are brought into the sandbox somehow. Those people aren't newbies, they are usually closer to 3-6 months old.

By mayor safety you mean corp on corp agression being removed, I really can't see this suddenly getting people from null or wormholes to farm isk in hisec, Lets be honest if people in null and wormholes wanted to do that it could easily be done now, and in a fair few cases is done already, So yeah not something to worry about at all from that POV.
I am not so sure about this. If highsec AWOX removal allows the formation of large, organized and stable "incursion corporations", many players may choose to move back to highsec and join them permanently. Right now, the inherent social element of corporations is hampered by the aggression mechanics which prevent incursion corps, so many players just have an NPC-corp alt doing incursions and still consider their main Eve identity as a defined by the wormhole, low, or null corp they are part of. If they can now join a permanent incursion corp and find a social identity, they may just pack up and leave more risky space completely.
Now, although this would suck more life out of the more risky space and make for a less vibrant universe, some would argue that increased social contact would be better for player retention. In fact, I support the proposed form of "corp-lite" which would allow the social benefits of, but none of the game rewards of a player corporation. Therefore the problem comes back to the failure of implementing "risk vs. reward" properly in highsec - incursion are just far, far too rewarding for the level of risk. Corbexx, what do you think is the best way to fix this without completely alienating players who love incursion gameplay?
But back to the question of removal intracorp agression in highsec, my main problem with it is that it will lower the bar of formation of a corporation even more than it is. Already, any one-month old player can form a corp, and spam invites to other new players. These new players will join, learn nothing, get frustrated and possibly quit the game. There are "natural hurdles" for running a corp in low/null/WHs as if you are clueless and don't understand game mechanics your corp, or at least its assets, will not last long. But in highsec, the threat of awoxing is one of the few ways to "test" corps and to weed out the "fail-corps" that have no business existing. In any case, competent highsec corps have several mechanisms to protect themselves (security checks, dedicated training corps, etc.), so all this change does is protect the lazy and clueless CEO, and will encourage low quality corps to spam invites even more to new players as there is now zero risk to them.
New players deserve recruitment into better corps that many of the ones plaguing highsec today that are run by players who do not understand game mechanics, or who are actively looking to exploit newbies with high taxes, and low ore buyback prices. If you are going to remove highsec awoxing, at least put some mechanism in the game to help get new players into the larger, competent highsec corps who care about training new players, or better yet, directly into a low/null/WH corp.

Really? One of the main reasons stopping incursion corps is war decs not awoxing lets be honest here, not running wide with rumours and speculation.

Incursions need looking at everyone knows that its in the minutes. What really needs to happen is the incrusions that are over paid need it scaling back its pretty simple.

So your issue here is you don't think newbies should be allowed to form there own corps since they don't know much? Who should decide they have no business exsisting? you? your code mates? You sound really anti newbie, If they want to form a corp let them, if it fails it fails. If it succeds we might have the next brave newbie alliance. Your arguement for awoxing needs to stay is that you feel the need to have some mechanic to grief newbie corps that might, just might not be up to some standard that you set? WTF!

Ok so you being able to awox people is fine, but people setting high tax rates isn't. I will let CCP know right now Black pedro feels corps setting tax high in hisec is bad for newbies along with low ore buy back. Yes last part would be useful and as you can see some stuff is happening to help like http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/rookie-resources/
Now from a fundamental pov you, your alts, code, there alts, disagree with me on my view, that's fine. Lets agree to disagree and leave it there. (more stuff on this will probably be ignored but cheers for the bump)

I agree. My comment was all speculation. I have no evidence for my view and cannot predict the future, but however neither can you. I was just pointing out that such a change may have more consequences on the distribution of the Eve population than apparent at first glance.
Wardecs come with notification and can be dodged. Highsec awoxing cannot and this is the biggest problem preventing incursion corps currently.

I saw that in the minutes, and your comments there. That went a long way earning my support for your CSM run (which you have).
I agree by the way. I just wonder why this hasn't happened yet as it is so obvious. I can only assume CCP is concerned that the drastic changes that are necessary will upset a portion of the player base and personally, I am not sure the best way to implement them.

Nope. I think players should not be provided with free protection of their corp, yet given all the rewards of corp. I agree, if a corp is to fail it should fail - it should not be allowed to exist if it cannot manage the basic level of competence to protect its operations from outsiders. Awoxing for all player corps is not some standard that "I set", but is a competitive standard that all corps are subject to. Surviving/defending against awoxing is another proof of competency for a new corp (something Brave managed to do, by the way).
As I said I support a "corp-lite" mechanism where players can form a corp that is free from wardecs (and awoxing) but has none of the advantages of a player corp. But a proper player corp? It has to take responsibility for its own protection if it wants to reap the rewards of a player corp.
It's just simple risk vs. reward.

(more stuff on this will probably be ignored but cheers for the bump) No, I think that removing awoxing will increase the number of exploitative highsec corps. I would appreciate it if you relayed my concerns to CCP, and encourage them to continue to develop tools to give newbies a chance to avoid them. Awoxing (as it is) only harms established players (with the assets that make awoxing worthwhile) who should know better, while high tax rates exploit new players who have just joined their first player corp and don't know better.
But I will agree to disagree with you on this issue. The risk vs. reward problems with the income distribution in this game are much more important to me than awoxing, and your views on this match mine. And honestly, removing awoxing isn't going to change much at all - there will be no beneficial effect on newbie retention and players relying on awoxing to disrupt highsec corps will find other ways.

It's no coincidence that corbexx is not only a wormholer but the only CSM to ever mention fashion to me.
As we all know, wormholes are the supreme apex of any pilot's career in EVE. It's the endgame, where everyone must wear their Sunday best, dying like gentlemen (or ladies). Corbexx understands this and has worked tirelessly in it's pursuit, consistently delivering results - he understands what wormhole space involves, what's important to daily life for it's residents and that we need to look good while living it.
I even heard corbexx will push hard for the catsuit to finally move from SISI to tranquility.
I'm voting #1 corbexx and so should you.
Good luck sir!

Moving onto a question I have, 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.

Re: the whole in-corp aggression thing (it's not AWOXing), can we agree that the root problem is the absolutely disastrous state of corporations and corporation management in EVE, and that no fix short of a complete overhaul will be satisfying?
The change to prevent in-corp aggression is an experiment, whose success CCP is (or should damn well be) monitoring. When CCP has the numbers to determine how well the change worked, they have the option to revert it if it was a wash or worse. The new rapid-fire release cycle makes that easy for them to do.
The best thing CSM can do, IMO, is ask them to define success in terms of the impact of the change, keep on them to stick to that (and to rolling it back if it fails), and source and offer suggestions about how corporations should function in EVE, and even (hat tip to Mangala Solaris) if corporations should be the only social organizations EVE offers.
As an aside, true newbies don't have to be ganked to leave. Seeing it happen to their social group might be enough. I'm not going to speculate on whether or how often that happens, but if corporations are the glue that keeps people in EVE, then the shattering of a corporation may well be enough to drive them away.
Oh, and +1 to Corbexx, even if he did stand us up when we invited him to chat with us the first time.

I will agree. The intracorp aggression mechanics (which can be used for awoxing) are probably the least of the problems facing highsec corporations. The real question is what do you view a corporation as? Is it just a "clubhouse" where friends can join up to form a social entity, or are they game entity designed to compete with each other in all areas of space including highsec? The game doesn't really know seem to know either as although there are some advantages to being in a player corp, they are not persistent or unique at all (all corps are the same) so there is no real reason to defend them in the case of a wardec.
Forgive this, but here is an outline a better designed corporation system that respects risk vs. reward:
Have two "tiers" of corporations, a "protected corporation" and a full corporation, and a series of persistent deployables that can be reinforced and have to be defended (like POCOs). The "protected corporation" enjoys full CONCORD protection from wardecs and awoxing, but has only minimal advantages (chat channel, corp contracts, a few others). The full corporation is as now, with the ability to set up POSes and these new deployables which will provided a distinct bonus to PvE activities like mining and missioning. This will allow players to tune their risk to match their capabilities and interest in defending their corp.
Let me illustrate how it would work with a story.
1) Let's say a relatively new player recruits some of his real-life friends and they want to make a go at starting a new mining corporation. The set up a "protected corp" and start the business of setting up their mining operations, recruiting, and getting to know one another and their only risk is the odd suicide ganker. After a month they decide to upgrade their corp to "full" status so they can deploy a compression array at a POS to make more profit on their activities.
2) A week later, a rival corp in the system notices the asteroids are being depleted, some words are exchanged, and the rivals hire some mercenaries to wardec our new corp. After a few losses, the new corp realizes that they aren't quite ready to defend their corp and decide to pull down their POS and surrender for a small ISK cost, and now immediately return to a "protected corp" status for an enforced minimum period of time (two weeks?). They can carry on mining as before, just without the advantages of the full corp.
3) A month later, they have recovered and grown. They are much larger, have recruited some players with PvP experience, and decide that to go to "full" corp again. They set up a POS, and decide to invest in some large, permanent deployables to increase their mining yield in the system (or cluster?). These cost several hundred million ISK but provided a few percent bonus on their yield so they pay off in the medium term and therefore are a valuable (and vulnerable) corp asset. Now when some trash-talking leads to a wardec, the corporation has a strong incentive to fight, or hire mercenaries, to defend these deployables or lose their investment.
Something like this could make wardecs meaningful and restore some risk vs. reward to highsec.
Since this is your CSM thread Corbexx and highsec corporation mechanics aren't in your primary wheelhouse as a wormholer I will stop here with this discussion of wardecs. But I would encourage to extend your view of risk vs. reward to highsec wardec mechanics if they come up for discussion on the CSM.
As I just posted in Sion Kumitomo's thread, there is suppose to be risk in highsec, and awoxing, wardecs are a large part of that.

My personal opinion is to have some form of hacking that can be used to unanchor offline towers. Varying in difficulty on two things. 1) size, easy for small towers hard for large towers. 2) type of tower, easy for a basic amarr tower, hard for a true sansha tower
This could use the hacking skill or a new one but would allow for people to go out and find and remove these towers.

I would be happier with locking mechanisms that used grid and CPU, so that if you wanted to have a seriously locked-down small tower you could, as long as you paid the cost for it.

Thanks so much!
I'll take this opportunity to ask the other things I'll be asking candidates I'm taking seriously.
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? :-)

Yes I would. I'm all in favour of a corp lite/ social groups. Exactly what it would get or have not sure.

We don't really get a say in priority, But I will say i'll be carrying on working on stuff I think would help W-space. Being proactive going out finding issues getting info on it and passing it on to CCP, allows you to potentially get alot sorted,. Even if it is just little quality of life stuff. Obviously if I had my say it would be W-space. But to be honest W-space is doing pretty well with small iterations (there is still stuff to do but its not like null that needs a HUGE revamp). Alot is knowing just who to go to.

It was down, there is probably alot of reasons not enough advertising. the fact that CSM 8 was fairly quite with no huge rage monsters for people to go EMO about. I don't think it diminishes the validity of the CSM, its not ideal i'll give you that. But i'd like to think most of us have justified our spots. How to improve this I think needs both the CSM and CCP pushing it to people.

I'm curious, would you want this to be a relatively risk-free activity in high-sec? If this was enabled I could see the mass rush for everyone to go out and find abandoned large towers in high-sec to sell with little to no risk, except from gankers perhaps. I think it might be interesting if hacking a corporation's anchored tower gave you a suspect flag, perhaps. |

If this change were to be used, why would a new skill be needed as opposed to the Hacking skill? It's already a rather unused and untapped skill that only PVE players use.
I like the concept, but the idea of adding a whole new skill (when there are many redundant and useless skills already) isn't necessary. Just make Hacking V to be the minimum to revert an offline tower.

Although Corbexx and I don't necessarily agree on new features or how things should be implemented, I have found him to be a strong voice and trustworthy representative of the space that I "grew up" in. I still keep a close eye on WH space and I haven't seen another WH representative during my time playing who really does deserves the players votes.
Keep on with the amazing work you've been doing and expect a vote from this player in the upcoming elections. |

Corbexx has been one of the most impressive, ambitious, and committed CSM delegates and players I've had the pleasure of working and corresponding with during my time in Eve. He has always been honest and straight forward in his communication with the community and has always been available and made time for questions, support, and dialogue. He will certainly be at the very top of my ballots this year and will be my first recommendation to anyone within or without the wormhole community.
It's dedicated and driven player delegates that help to ensure that the various members and playstyles within this great community are heard, and in my interactions with developers, such as interviews and player gatherings, I've learned firsthand the impact that our CSM delegates, notably Corbexx, have had on this game. Best of luck, my friend.

As a Director in a small industrial corp based in a lower class wormhole for more then 4 years, I can say we have cheered at the small improvements in wormhole life that have been implemented in the game in the last half year or so. I can safely say the entire corp is glad with things like the consistent sig names, the separated D-scan window and so forth. Small things, yes. But for me in this case it's those little details that make the difference between 'good' and 'great'.
I thank you for the effort you put into getting all the (little) wormhole improvements prominently on the table and convincing the rest of the CSM and CCP it would be worthwhile to implement them.
This year, just like last year, you will be no 1 on my list. And I am sure I can convince (at least some of) my corpmates to do the same....
Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format.
Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Corbexx has done a hell of a job. He's taken allot of initiative and continuously interacts with the community.
Where he gets the energy from to voluntarily put himself in front of a gaggle of Eve Wormholers asking him to make the sun rain wormhole fixes, I have no clue.
Plus 10 good sir. You both deserve and earned it.

For what its worth, I am primarily an incursion runner (and an FC for warp to me) and while Mike is my "obvious representative" on the CSM I'd probably vote for Corbexx instead since i much prefer his stance... He seems to be alot less dogmatic and alot more "okay i might be wrong but lets find out and see whats what..."
Not sure if thats worth anything but its something you might like to consider... |

Corbexx has worked tirelessly during his CSM9 tenure and achieved great things. He is incredibly passionate about the tasks he is involved with and with such a broad knowledge of the game, his ideas dont just help wormhole space. You won't find a more approachable and hard working guy. He certainly has my vote. Top job matey. |

While my corpmates were discussing the near-inevitable T3 nerfs incoming, someone mentioned that T3s were that powerful because they had to be powerful enough to run wormholes. What is your opinion on this subject? Should wormholes be made easier to compensate? Left as they are and thus end up harder overall? Should a new shipclass be introduced that's fit to run wormholes without overwhelming fleets in K-space?
Do you think it should be reasonable for a group of 1-month newbros to survive and thrive in a C1 wormhole and slowly work their way up the ladder to a C6? Or should surviving in a wormhole require at least 6 months of training and experience in K-space?

Corbexx, I did the Eve Vote Match 2.1 and it listed you as my top pick at 91%! I went through your responses and saw a lot of things I like, but I did have a few questions. Now keep in mind these are neither loaded nor come with any significant experience on my part. Please answer them with the assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about and am here to learn.
1.) When you say you feel that wormhole space doesn't need any ice or moon materials, is that to force players to maintain supply routes with known space in order to have big things? Or perhaps you just don't like them being entirely self-sufficient?
2.) You say you're interested in content harder than wormhole class 6. What does it even take to run class 6 sites? I haven't been above class 3. Are capital ships necessary for class 6?
3.) You say you'd like to see more wormhole effects, but not more systems? Do you feel that the wormhole population is about right or too low, and that it will stay low enough in the coming years even considering for a growing playerbase and possibly an increase in the percentage of players in wormhole space? As for effects, any ideas? (I'm curious on the specifics for wormhole effect ideas, I like playing with numbers)
4.) Do you really think it's okay to give players immediate info on market orders through API?
I was toying with an idea and want some input: what if some new wormhole systems were added which are "deeper" than regular wormhole systems in that they only connect either with each other or to other wormhole systems, but never directly to known space. These systems could boast more self-sustainability with reduced value of random sites, for those who like less traffic in their systems.
In response to your campaign post: I don't have any complaints, you seem to be a guy who will get things done. But since you speak of POS balance, I'm wondering if you are going to push for improvement to POS gunning? It seems like an unused part of the game.

Going to tack on one more question to my pile:
While debating ways to introduce HiSec newbros to the many other different types of space, I realized wormholes make an easy way to visit LoSec, NullSec, or W-Space without straying too far from your HiSec Homebase or moving your stuff. However, the current tutorials (unless they made changes I'm unaware of) don't cover wormholes at all. As such, I suspect many newbros see wormholes (not just W-space, but wormholes to anywhere) as dangerous, endgame things rather than useful shortcuts to interesting places.
How would you get most new players to start exploring/using wormholes within 3-4 days of starting EVE?

A better question would be: Corbexx, do you feel that ISK generating activities in wormholes are too lucrative?

Jenshae is actually working on the assumption that they are currently not ISK faucets, regardless of whether or not they should be. I would counter that they are ISK faucets as is easily demonstrated by the loot they provide which is turned in directly to NPC agencies in known space in unlimited quantities for a flat rate ISK value. As to their significance in comparison to other ISK faucets, there are charts for that. Unfortunately I cannot find one at the moment. But ask CCP and they can tell you exactly how much ISK comes from wormhole space relative to other sources. They track this info.

apologises for late reply.
In regards to should wormholes be made easier if T3's do get nerfed I don't think its needed all the sites can be done in ships other than t3, Caps and rapiers easily do c5 and c6 cap escalations marauders can handle c5 and down, a couple guards and hacs will also easily do most stuff. i dont think a new ship class would be needed at all to do sleeper sites.
I think its fine for a group of 1 month old newbros to survive and thrive in a c1 ( I moved in to a c3 1 week old with some mates). It might not be the easiest thing, Fair play if they can grow and move up to higher class wormholes should they wish.
I dont think surviving in w space should need 6 months experience in k space. What I will say is while i do like new people in w space I'm not to keen on trying to force 1 day old new people in, more for the fact that w space isnt the safest or easiest place to survive in, without a decent group to help support these players.
My alt is actually in the brave wormhole newbro corp Catastrophic overview failure, and they got a couple of really new players (2 or 3 day old) and brought them in to the wormhole, And i've been chatting to them about how they are finding it. Without the corp helping they'd really struggle.

First as has been stated thats a year old, but I can happily answer the questions. Yes its to mean we still have to rely on other areas of space. Having said that there is now ice in the shattered wormholes (you cant mine the ice in the small ones mind)
Reaver Glitterstim wrote: 2.) You say you're interested in content harder than wormhole class 6. What does it even take to run class 6 sites? I haven't been above class 3. Are capital ships necessary for class 6?
I'm all for any extra content in w space, not just harder. to run c6 sites without the cap escalation some t3 and guardains or rr tengus, with cap escalation 2 carriers 2 dreads and some webbers.

I'd be happy with more effects, anything that adds interest is good, not really sure what tbh, I'd love more people in w space, so yeah at the moment I feel its low and hope that it will increase.

You can get market data now from crest. which is really up to date. I dont have any concern with it.
the next bit is a interesting idea if you want to expand on it feel free to mail anything to me.
Pos gunning could use a total overhaul to make it much more interesting its horrid to do at the moment. Pos guns could also probably use a look at as well since most ships have been buffed but pos stuff hasnt.

What do you think of the idea of buffing POS gun damage while making them automatically spread fire out to different targets--giving the defensive advantage to a medium+ fleet even before logi--and allowing crewed POS guns to be focused on individual targets, allowing easy blapping of softer subcaps or significant assistance to blap even the tough ones when coordinating with a defense fleet?

Having a later set of tutorials maybe a few weeks in could be a option though.

This is something I would like to see. There are some subjects in eve that are probably best not introduced early on, but having additional career agents that are accessible after a player has been in the game for awhile would be excellent.

My assumption is anyone who doesn't just stay in the starting system and do constant missions will die horribly in a few days. The question is, how do we get new players used to dying horribly?
Perhaps one of the tutorial objectives should be "wander off and get killed by another player".

There is a mission in advanced combat that makes you lose your ship, but it could be improved upon. It lacks that oomph of a real death when it's at the hands of NPCs, although it was kind of interesting when I did the mission: I got my cruiser instead of using the intended ship, and tried to brute force my way through it, thinking I would beat the odds. I lost the cruiser and later decided if I could do it again, I might have been able to complete it if I had fit smartbombs.

C1 to C4 are in a better place now than they used to be although C1 and C2 could maybe use a bit of a buff still.
On C5 and C6 cap escalations it gets a bit trickier if its 5 people min maxing then its probably to high (although you are limited on how many sites you have to run a day), The issue comes in when you have 10 plus people running them and then the isk isnt all that great (ish per hour might still be good but you will only run sites for 1 hour). The main problem is there is no incentive to run sites with more people. I'd love if there was some way they scaled to incentive people to do them in bigger groups (a bit like incursions).

Joined wormhole space this year as a bitter vet (10yr+) looking for something different - It worked.
In doing almost everything in eve can say Corbexx has been the only CSM representative I have actually interacted with (at a couple of his Townhalls, he even came onto TDSIN Teamspeak to get our views on some changes) and who seemed to know what he was there for and ask for opinions.
Sure we might not always agree but he has been a great representative of the WH community and CSM in general.
When I saw he was standing again my vote became a no brainer +1
Regarding some of the comments above:
Like the idea of some degradation of untended anchored mods, there is so much litter in Space. Hacking to unanchor it sounds good as requires skill and effort not just after a while bring ship to scoop stuff.
TBH we all know POS mods etc need a revamp (eg why do compression arrays work on solid minerals but not gas which should be more compressible and volumes of which get big very quickly or why do we need so many different assembly arrays)
Corbexx has been a great representative and should be again.

You missed the whole point of the question. I don't want to argue whether it is an ISK faucet or not. I wanted a link to a piece of writing on the subject that Corbexx finds particularly good.
not a writing but the results from all my pve testing

This was done before the buffs to blue book drop and the sleeper salvage balance.
Shows how bad the isk income was as well as how reliant on metled nano ribbons the C1 and C2 wormholes were (they still are just not quite as much now.

I remember running C1 sites adjacent to a C2 because the C2 sites were worthless. It was all about the frigates because they dropped the most expensive loot despite going down the quickest.
I hear it's not quite so much like that anymore, which is really good. Also, the value per nanoribbon is under half what we were getting for them. Back then (mid 2012) we would sell the things for 8 mil apiece to the already available buy orders, or we could put em up for around 9 mil and get them to sell.

Was reading the CSM minutes and just saw this part, "Corbexx asked about sites from different classes spawning in a given class of wormhole. For example, could you have a c5 site occasionally spawn in a c2 hole? and the other way around. Fozzie said that with the new distribution system the way site spawns can change, and the CSM discussed whether this would be good or confusing. The general consensus was that it would be fine, as players would look up the different sites."
Major +1 on that idea Corbexx.

If you have lived in a wormhole in the last year, you already know how much he has does as csm. If you haven't lived in a wormhole, this guy cares and spends huge amounts of his time for players, from listening to their concerns to tirelessly running tests on sisi.
If no one else I vote for gets elected, I won't worry as long as he's there. |

After researching all of the 77 candidates, Corbexx is one of only nine to earn a full endorsement from me. He's on my list and he should be on yours.

The following is an excerpt of my endorsements for CSMX:
Quote:As I've stated before, Corbexx is the powerhouse CSM representative that wormhole space needs to ensure the health of the community as game development continues. Over CSM9, Corbexx led an absolute ton of projects and work to gather data, hear from players, and check/validate game changes that were rolled out by CCP (such as Hyperion). There hasn't been and isn't currently a better candidate to represent the wormhole community. If you are a wormhole resident, daytripper, or simply a player who loves wormhole gameplay, Corbexx should no doubt be your #1 vote! The rest of the article/list is found here. Best of luck, Corbexx!

Be interesting to see how many of the people posting earlier in the thread and elsewhere, praising Corbexx for his CSM9 service, his experience, his work ethic, and his game knowledge, will now shriek in outrage because he wears the wrong alliance tag.

I guess this is the point where I'm supposed to congratulate Corbexx on his masterful switching of sides immediately after the CSM election. I just hope he stays as a full time wormhole resident for his tenure as CSM. If he does not, I think much of the community will feel betrayed.

He has already stated that his alts are to remain in wormhole corporations. Also, a [CONDI] tag in no way prevents a player from engaging in wormhole gameplay or conversing with those who do.
Would be an amusing piece of hypocricy for some of the more rabid critics to follow through with their threat of purging those alts from wormspace and then saying "see, he doesnt have any wormhole characters left, what a terrible wormhole representative".

Yeah, I'm a little surprised at the uproar over this. Seems to be a lot of grr goons mixed in. Either way, corbexx knows wormholes, and got elected for such. Joining goons doesn't affect that.
