T3s as they stand are better than BS , HAC , Command Ships they dominate fights as they do most thing very well all at once. I am not a game designer but it feels like they do too much well at once. Tank , Speed , Sig , DPS & DPS Application. Please point to a HAC , BS , BC hull that can do all of the above other than the Ishtar. I am not quite sure what to do with the Ishtar either but its still pretty op. I think maybe reducing the dronebay size is the answer. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

Is that due to the bomb driven meta or because of another shortcoming that's not coming to mind? Pretty much. The ishtar and Tengu still have lower sig because of the hull size and they are extremely kitey making bombing them much harder. The bomb meta is cancer on fleet tactics. You don't see Alpha Fleet you don't see Missile boats like ravens or navy scorps. The high sig of shield comps makes them a instant non starter. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

BS get bombed and have terrible mobility, hacs are generally speaking fairly flimsy and command ships are a mess. Don't you think these issues should be addressed before what I would hope to be a reasonable T3 rebalance

I think Occupancy based is great and will allow so many different approaches to conquest and defense. Why would there be defensive mining fleets? I am gonna take a stab and say you are saying defensive mining ops would be utilized to maintain indexes for occupancy based sov. Yeah I don't think anyone wants mandatory and tedious mining fleets. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

Completely insulated from the rest of Eve. Most games have a noobie area which is focused on helping new players learn about the actual game and its mechanics. Once they have the time to learn this push them out of the nest. New players should be able to opt out sooner if they want. New player retention is one of the biggest hurdles for CCP. BadAssMcKill wrote: What would you do to make it so that n+1 isn't the easiest way to win fleet fights With the changes to power projection and further changes with sov you will start to see fights become more localized with less outsiders intervening. Numbers will always be a huge factor in fights and there is no way that I know of to change that. BadAssMcKill wrote: E: How would your sov system work wrt to timers and sov structures. What would you do to actually encourage people to live in sov null. So to be clear I don't have the smoking gun answer. But what I do have is a ton of knowledge and experience in this game. I plan to use that to help CCP develop or find the possible smoking gun. But in regards to why would people want to live in Nullsec? Risk vs Reward and Carrots should be the driving principles. You can't force players to do anything however you can incentivize the thing you want them to do and not make it painful and they will do it. BadAssMcKill wrote: Do you have any ideas on NPC null and lowsec (That isn't FW.) What would you do to encourage pvp in hisec , and possibly make it a viable home for people in the long term. Yea I think there have been a bunch of good ideas on NPC Nullsec. The ones I like alot is that inhabitants that do things for the faction get added benefits similar to some of the benefits you get from holding sov. Hisec PVP I am not really sure I think people that aren't interested in PVP mainly reside in Hisec. So honestly I would just listen for good ideas for this area. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

I would not mind if T3's lost 10-15% DPS and 20-25% tank in exchange for CCP making the rest of the non standard subsystems no complete garbage... Plus if they get that kind of nerf I feel the skillpoint loss will need to go. Also recons need to be fixed because they are complete trash right now and hac's need another balance pass most of em are garbage. Another thing in regards to bombers I don't think a rebalanced will do bombing in its current form has to go. Because in a game that kind of is about blobbing anti blob weapons have no place otherwise why did titan guns get nerf'd beyond reason... CCP is fairly inconsistent in their balancing and its hurting the game.

Mario Putzo Welping and Dunking. 961	Posted - 2014.12.08 17:18:05 - [41] - Quote What are your thoughts on the relationship between Cruisers and BattleCruisers and Battleships. Ever since the Warp Speed Changes, this game has become very cruiser heavy, coupled with the buffs in the cruiser rebalance it seems that anything larger is irrelevant in todays game. (Exception being Drone based ships Cough Domi Cough that can project damage on any size target up and down the spectrum of course) Looking at Battlecruisers do you feel that BC's are in need of improvements? What would you change about them, if nothing why not? Looking at BS do you feel that BS's are in need of improvements? What would you change about them, if nothing why not? I have been around for a while, and recall the good days where BC's and BS's and Cruisers all played an integral role in fleet make ups. BC > Cruisers > BS > BC. It was a nice little food chain, that demanded intel on enemy fleets so you could effectively counter what they were bringing to the field. Today 2/3rds of that chain are broken, and we are left with Cruisers trying to counter cruisers...and due to the nature of that, you see a perceived imbalance in ships, namely T3s or the king of range dictating, the Ishtar. Do you think it is T3's and Ishtars that are the problem, or could it infact be that presently there is no bigger fish in the pond worth using to snuff them out? Or a little from column A, a little from column B?

Hi Manny, I thought you were a great candidate last year, sure you will get in and be great. One note of caution however: remember the wormhole T3 meta needs to be kept in mind and is not the same as the null T3 meta. I would suggest that "Nerf the crap out of everything" is not the right answer there either. Would you call for instance an armor tanked ECM Tengu OP at that level? I wouldn't but yet it is a very common wormhole fit. Author of Interstellar Privateer Shattered Planets, Wormholes and Game Commentary

No my friend, its not. its about something bigger. Its about creating and exploiting wedges in the community. Right now I opened up a wedge - Manfred's tolerance of scamming. Now, if someone on say evenews24.com or tmc picks this up, they are going to ask him a question - whats his stance on recruitment scams in his organization? He has three answers. 1) He supports it. result - alienates half the normal people who will consider him nothing better then a CODE scumbag or a Goon scammer. Lost votes, others will spin this against him. He loses the election, again. Frankly, if he does support it, then he is no different from CODE. Scammers are scammers, all the same. 2) He fluffs the answer and appears weak and indecisive. Other candidates will exploit this at a minimum. Noone likes evasive politicians. 3) He says he is against. He will have to throw you under the bus of course, or at least that dude of yours, to make a show of commitment. This will have a positive effect on his image and differentiate him from Goon and other scamming candidates. Lots of potential for good spin here. Take it from me, I was senior campaign manager for several Ontario provincial elections. I know how this **** works. EDIT - oh lol look at this, in time it took me to type this, already 3! posts defending recruitment scams, one questioning Manfred's ability to enforce rules across his! organization, and one post got edited. Definitely a wedge, and definitely worthy of further note by journalists.

If you only elect people from alliances whose members never scam then you will end up with all the nullsec representatives from Provi and ETNY, and that might not be wholly representative. Eve is a dark, exciting, dangerous place and scamming, piracy and all-round depravity have always been huge draws for the game. Like Manny, I don't scam due to having too much of a guilty conscience to be comfortable with it, but it is part of the game we all chose to play.

T3's and Ishtar's - I was having this discussion with some wormhole people the other day. It feels like the Tengu is the biggest violator currently. If anything the Loki might need slight tweeks. Ishtars I think reduce the drone bay to 200m3. They can carry 1 set sentries 1 medium 1 small set of drones. The problem with Nullsec PVP is bombers. They are still completely ******** and coupled with how easy probing is now the GODBOMB run is a actual thing and threat at all times. They severely restrict fleet concepts in nullsec. When my opponent brings Dominix's I'd love to bring Alphafleet but doing so is suicide due to bombers. Yeah BC,BS & Hacs are way outside the meta especially in Nullsec. Most times its just better to bring a T1 cruiser than a Hac. BC's are so woefully inept next to T3's. Command ships aren't in much better shape and most BS are laughable at best in nullsec. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

Your post mentions something about FW, but there is more to lowsec than FW. The problem with lowsec is simple. There is no meaningful reason to be there other than PVP. It offers no unique features or advantages. Think about it with me what do the other areas have that are unique. Hisec - Safety Nullsec - Sov ownership , Supercapital production Wormholes - Sleepers , Semi-Isolationism Lowsec- Hmmm something should go here. I mean I guess FW but thats basically sov war with training wheels. What I would change is: Lowsec should be the premier industrial area of Eve. It should have the best and most efficient factory lines available in Eve. Players should be able to contract protection from Factions. Basically put in a system where players can purchase standings to FW by purchasing a 30 day certificate from the faction of their choosing. The isk then gets divided amongst FW members every month. Furthermore when factory lines are utilized it unlocks benefits for that faction. So basically you end up with a system where lowsec is busy with builders and industrialist. Faction Warfare members now have meaningful reasons to patrol and protect their factions space. They have reason in which to raid opposing factions and reasons for conquest of opposing factions space. Because whoever is providing stable and safe areas will get more business. Furthermore with increased traffic and population it gives more reasons for piracy to exist. I see lowsec as basically empire space and the factions are basically Mafia families. They extort money for protection services from people wanting to engage in industry in lowsec. But the hook has to be that doing production is so much cheaper and efficient in lowsec versus hisec that it draws builders there. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

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 A few things. Fighter assignment is kinda dumb because the carrier/supercarrier pilots drone skills are meaningless. This needs to be addressed. Secondly its a very contentious subject as lone carriers and supercarriers are easy to kill with bumps. So making them sit to far away from pos shields means instant death should someone land on grid and call in friends. However it is frustrating to have a capital slink back into the shields whenever someone tries to stop them assigning fighters. Furthermore you see pilots using sticks to assign fighters from. A stick is a online tower that has not had the forcefield turned on . The forcefield can be turned on instantly if the capitals are in any danger. Honestly I don't have the answer but I understand the problem from all sides and its permutations . If I had to stab in the dark I think capitals need to be somewhere between 5000-7500 meters minimum from the Forcefield to assign fighters. Thats a stab in the dark though if CCP were actually willing to look at the issue id wanna talk more with the community to look for better ideas. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

Only way to point them is to burn 15 minutes with a interceptor. But thanks for your answer, looks like you know the mechanics. If I may, I want to give you my personal opinion. I guess you can read from my wording that I am not very fond of the current mechanics. A nyx or thanatos on a medium / large POS with ECM and guns is very hard to remove, at least for a smaller fleet. While they only risk 3x Frigs, they have over 7000 DPS that can hit Interceptors. The Risk / Reward scale is way out of balance on this one. The drone module changes to fighters and the latest Jump mechanic changes made them pop up more and more around lowsec. I would remove the fights assignment all together, why is it there? What benefit does eve have from this. It eve gets "abused" in PvE. I had an alt in a corp that rent space, assign fighters from a gank / tracking nyx to a brick tanked carrier. The carrier always had cap to jump, had ~7000 DPS and a immense tank.

Given that scanning is currently so fast that CCP had to deliberately position probes at sun by default in order to keep the process from being game-breakingly fast, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to revisit that decision. Maybe scanning for full precision would take a long time, but you could stop the process midway for good-enough results if you needed speed?

One of the things that i like about your platform is to get into the nitty gritty of flying and balancing combat for not just big fleets but small gang / solo as well. Few questions for you... 1) I'm curious about your thoughts on the upcoming Recon balance that CCP Rise has put on the table for Proteus. Lot of debate back and forth on d-san immunity, T2 resists for Recons, and frankly the role of the ships (i.e. stealthy recon vs electronic warfare platform...hard to do both). 2) What can we do to get Battleships more interesting to fly? They are the face of PVE but fall behind dramatically at PVP. As a side note it would be kinda nice to actually intentionally undock a Raven for PVP instead of just shooting red crosses. 3) I noticed you specifically mentioned missiles as something that needed some work to make them more viable in PVP work. I tend to run missiles and drones pretty exclusively and you are spot on. What would you propose to CCP and the community to make the missile weapons family more competitive? 4) How will you reach out to other facets of the community outside the Big Fleet scene? Hopping in NPSI roams, blogging, etc? Thanks for your time - look forward to seeing your responses. Cheers!

Hopping in NPSI roams, blogging, etc? Thanks for your time - look forward to seeing your responses. Cheers! Thanks first for the suppot. In regards to Recons I see them serving 2 separate purposes. Cloaking recons are well covert and by nature should be more focused on hit & run and things of that nature. Whereas the combat recons would be amazing if they were beefier and able to be a part of main fleets on the front line applying superior ewar power. As it is they are super flimsy and you see people using T3's. If I were the one balancing them the Lachesis would have low DPS high tank/buffer potential. Whereas the Arazu would have higher DPS and lower tank but they both would enjoy the same Ewar bonus. As far as not showing up on the scanner I can see this being a decent bonus for the stealth recon. Battleships are easy to tackle. You fix 3 things. One combat probing needs to be changed. Two bombing needs to be changed. Three Missiles need to be immune to firewall but in exchange there needs to be counterplay to missiles. Perhaps a midslot item that launches chaff that disrupts the accuracy of missiles. I plan to be very communicative once on the CSM with post on the Eve-Forums and other fan sites. I've been known to participate in several podcast and radio shows as well as interviews this will continue to be true. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

Just to make sure I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you're saying that what HERO needs is basically 10 trillion ISK to buy a supercapital fleet and pilots for it? (I'm figuring that would buy you 1-200 supercapitals, distributed somehow between titans and supercarriers, and alts to fly them.) I'm not trying to belittle this, I'm just trying to confirm if you're basically saying that asset and skill point disparities are the main things that were highlighted, and that those are pretty fixable.

For those that dont know or have contact with him, he genuinely cares about the game as a whole and has the ability to look at the grander picture and see how each piece of the game interacts and affects the various "end game" routes that players strive to move towards. Whether you are a casual player who mines or does missions after work, a part time pvper who enjoys FW and the occasional low sec roams or the more "hardcore" player who PVPs daily, station trades into the 10s of billions or have a PI empire he'll consider how your enjoyment and contribution to the game will impact those on the opposite side of the map. As someone who has played this game since about a month after release in 03, I can honestly say CCP has delivered its best content, at a consistent rate over this past year moreso than any previous year without a doubt and I believe with people like Manny he can help guide CCP to make sure the right areas are targeted to keep the game fun, healthy and in a state of growth.

What do you think can be improved upon and adjusted to better incentivize players into subscribing etc.? One point of contention I have with it is, it does a very poor job introducing and preparing players for the concept of permanent loss when undocked and attacked by other players (or when their ship is destroyed by NPCs). There is also the problem regularly stated that a new player "has no clue what there is to do" when starting out. It could be said this is because the "sandbox gameplay" doesn't open up for the player until several hours into the game and beginners tutorial is completed.

Your post mentions something about FW, but there is more to lowsec than FW. The problem with lowsec is simple. There is no meaningful reason to be there other than PVP. It offers no unique features or advantages. Think about it with me what do the other areas have that are unique. Hisec - Safety Nullsec - Sov ownership , Supercapital production Wormholes - Sleepers , Semi-Isolationism Lowsec- Hmmm something should go here. I mean I guess FW but thats basically sov war with training wheels. What I would change is: Lowsec should be the premier industrial area of Eve. It should have the best and most efficient factory lines available in Eve. Players should be able to contract protection from Factions. Basically put in a system where players can purchase standings to FW by purchasing a 30 day certificate from the faction of their choosing. The isk then gets divided amongst FW members every month. Furthermore when factory lines are utilized it unlocks benefits for that faction. So basically you end up with a system where lowsec is busy with builders and industrialist. Faction Warfare members now have meaningful reasons to patrol and protect their factions space. They have reason in which to raid opposing factions and reasons for conquest of opposing factions space. Because whoever is providing stable and safe areas will get more business. Furthermore with increased traffic and population it gives more reasons for piracy to exist. I see lowsec as basically empire space and the factions are basically Mafia families. They extort money for protection services from people wanting to engage in industry in lowsec. But the hook has to be that doing production is so much cheaper and efficient in lowsec versus hisec that it draws builders there. I disagree with only a few of your points. Lowsec offers a permanent docking solution to groups too afraid of centralizing all their assets somewhere vulnerable or committing to the Sov game in null with the best excuses given being flexibility, play schedules that cannot be influenced, and freedeom. Pretty good damn reasons, imo. Once again, the argument that not all lowsec is FW is bad, as most of lowsec that is populated by pirates that happen to be within these regions that FW takes place in. FW is the beating heart of lowsec. That is the plain truth of it. Lowsec is big, try taking a stroll down those non-FW lanes and see how busy they are. Lowsec should have a cap of 300 pilots on corp offices, with a limit to one corporation of each alliance being able to pull an office at any given station. These demands are pretty realistic. Another part of lowsec is the moons. You did not mention that in any of your answer. Snuff, Shadow Cartel, PL, and even Goons have moons in low, with 1010101 mainly having POCO domination in Essence by an indie corp with a funny name. The sigs are pretty profitable, but, again, many non-FW entities farm these. The increase of available indie slots changes little for us. A refining bonus and manufacturing bonus would be amazing, but they would be taken advantage (just like the science slots were before Teams came out) by non-FW parties if they are not specifically available to those that dump their earnings for the upgrades.

I am not quite sure what to do with the Ishtar either but its still pretty op. I think maybe reducing the dronebay size is the answer. Problem with the Ishtar is that people fight the ship. You don't fight the ship, you fight their drones. Removing 125m3 from it's active drone bay would be enough. It's versatility is in being able to abandon and push out whatever set is best as a counter during a fight. At the very least you force them to back off and mobile depot more drones into the bay. As it is, you have to do this 3 times if they carry 2 sets of sentries and/or whatever else will take up the last 125m3 - maybe a 3rd set? It is a good ship. People just don't know how to fight them.

I don't think Jita is or should be the answer for Nullsec. I think local industry and production as a means of supply is much better. Think about it if you will. A few nullsec guys running back and forth to Jita doesn't offer much in the way of meaningful gameplay. However sourcing and producing locally would have many more people in space doing things. Those activities are buds for conflict drivers. Reasons for people to come and raid those people or interfere with their activities. Which gives meaningful reasons for defense & patrol fleets. If it were my call Id nuke the JF and give it the same fatigue and cooldown as other caps Gäó. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

Solaris Vex Brave Newbies Inc. Brave Collective 5	Posted - 2015.02.03 11:55:11 - [131] - Quote Manfred Sideous wrote: Greetings & Salutations, New Player Experience - n00bies are the life blood of a game. I would like to see CCP devote more effort into making the soulcrushing learning curve of Eve easier to digest. Perhaps a n00bie only area that newbies can freely leave when they are ready or after a certain point. This area could insulate them from more of the dangerous parts of Eve that a naive n00bie would typically fall prey too. Now don't get me wrong I love the fact that Eve is harsh and cold but I also know that new players have so much to take in that perhaps a soft landing for the first week or something would help them. Continued A n00bie only zone could also create unrealistic expectations and a false sense of security. The rest of your platform is good.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

I'm still interested in whether this is what you were trying to say. What I am saying is. HERO can recruit players with the ships and skillpoints. HERO can purchase chars from the bazaar and the ships. I dig HERO I think they are absolutely cool. However if you CHOOSE to be newbie centric then you automatically place yourself at a disadvantage skillpoint and asset wise. However there are devices in which to circumvent the situation. But asking for the game to be balanced around the style HERO CHOSE is not realistic. Eve is a cold dark and unfair universe. The path you choose to go has its benefits and cost. Having a gazillion newbies gives you a great zerg force and thats a huge benefit. But numbers should ALWAYS have some counter otherwise he who blobs the hardest wins.

I cannot think of anyone more qualified to be on the CSM especially at this all too important time where what happens in the next year will have major impact on our game. Very few can bring MannyGÇÖs experience and perspective to the table in dealing with the serious changes (Sovereignty) that are in the pot right now. My vote is yours. Best of luck Bro! .

Its going to depend how sov 3.0 shakes out. Changing them before that wouldn't make sense. The supercarriers role has been to be the ultimate structure grinder. The titan the ultimate expression of damage. So that's what these ships have been defined as thus far. If I were to take a stab in the dark however. The supercarrier I am not sure at this time what to do. I think giving the titan a bigger sma would be great for the shipclass. Scriptable DDD's have been talked about for years. Really its hard to give a good answer here without knowing how sov and other changes are. Hopefully with your vote ill be able to get in take a look and really start to start having that conversation with the Community and CCP. @EveManny https://twitter.com/EveManny

He's also someone who has the best interests of the game in mind, and who will not hesitate to voice his opinion to that effect. I fully trust Manny to be an excellent addition to the CSM, and he's got my full support.

Dave Korhal Kite Co. Space Trucking Brave Collective 31	Posted - 2015.02.23 17:32:24 - [158] - Quote What other MMOs have you played? How many of Eve's new players do you think play other MMOs? What habits from other MMOs do they have to unlearn to become proper Eve players? Should there be a way to see the grid outside of your station without actually undocking? Should there be visible timers for Post-Jump Cloak and Undock Invincibilty, similar to the ones for aggression and jump fatigue? What types of scams in Eve should be preserved and which should be eliminated/hampered by mechanics or UI changes? What changes would you like made or added to the ship icons in the Overview and on the main window? What's your definition of a bad fight? What changes would you make to Eve's chat interface to make it easier for leadership to handle dozens of channels and private convos? Should buyers be able to see who's selling the goods they're buying before they buy them? Should buyers be able to buy goods from specific sellers, even if they're not the lowest-priced goods, rather than automatically buying the cheapest ones? Should Damage Control be a passive module instead of an activated one? Are there llamas in Iceland? Matt: "Mining is the devil's work. If any of you mine, I will AWOX you."

Proclus Diadochu Obstergo Red Coat Conspiracy 1960	Posted - 2015.02.25 13:10:36 - [160] - Quote The following is an excerpt of my endorsements for CSMX: Quote: Psianh and Manny are the two mercenary representatives needed for CSMX. When CCP takes a look at SOV mechanics, Wardec mechanics, piracy, and the various "secs" throughout the game, it is important that the CSM has experienced players speaking to those areas. Psianh has been training mercs for a long time and understands the needs of the players and the areas that need work/help. Manny has been FC'ing and leading within Pandemic Legion, the largest mercenary group in Eve Online, for ages and has been involved in the largest fights in computer gaming history. Manny is also the second of the SOV Trifecta and both of these players should serve on CSMX! The rest of the article/list is found here. Best of luck, Manny!
