I'm Dradis Aulmais. Im a new player, I was born April this year.
About the Candidate:
In real life I am 27. I was in the military for 3 years and now work in the evnvormental clean up industry. I have played WoW since BC and grew to find it incredibly boring. A quick google search lead me to a new place, a New Eden. I joined in April of this year and quickly subbed my account. The very complexity and depth to thia game is what pulls me in.
Issues:
New Player
As a new player the learning curve is steep. There was and still is many aspects of this game I have trouble with. I have tried industry, mining, FW, exploration and now I am in a corp in NPC null where I can get my hands dirty at PvP.
The parts I had trouble with and would like to see addressed are :
Skills - starting out, skills are confusing. I had no idea what skills did besides letting me use certain ships and items. More information via the tutorial would have made this better.
Fittings - this is something I still have problems with there's so many stats you have to track. I think we could be clearer on what these stats do.
Sov Null- I have very little experience in this area so I will reserve comment on this issue.o
Acessablity issues
Adjusting sound and text to accommodate disabled players is an issue I would like to work towards fixing.
I am always open to questions so ask away. I'm young but driven. Let me work for you.

I would like more transparency from CCP related to DDoss attacks. When The last series of DDos attacks where hitting games across the world, game company's where slow to acknowledge it. This led to frustration among the base. I would like a quicker response and more preventive measures in place (can you reduce a DDos ?)
I would also see improvements on the Tranquility Sever. Mainly in load balancing and latency. Jita is a main trade hub. It's always packed, I believe CCP can do a better job keeping these systems active and available, not TiDi and closed. |

Have you watched it? It's worth it, because they're not thinking of iterating on what we have now. They're looking at starting over with a completely different approach. 2) It's extremely difficult to counter a DDoS, for roughly the same reason that it's hard to counter a flood. What would you have them do? 3) CCP is working on the back end of EVE, to tackle various performance issues. Team Gridlock also gave a presentation at FanFest 2014 giving an overview of what they're trying to do and what they're up against. Definitely worth watching. The tl;dr is that load balancing in a game like EVE is a difficult problem in the best case, but more so when you're making live changes to your more-than-10-year-old game engine written in a language that doesn't really understand what threads are.
Thanks for the video links I haven't seen them. I was only able to see the economic presentation. The code used for eves old and I think I know of a program that may help but I'm not familiar with the specifics of it. It was used to update the legacy code in the FAA system. I have to look into the details and link it here later. It may be something worth looking in to.

OK, serious mode now ....
While it might be refreshing to see someone newer on the CSM who can bring fresh eyes, how would you address some rather obvious gaps in your knowledge of the game. What skills and attributes do you have in dealing with project managemant, design, consulting and communication ?
Never did I claim to be an expert but did you read the TRSI software capabilities presentation? They are capable of taking almost any code and updated it to a code that can handle multithreading and other capabilities that the current code does not have .

To answer your second question. In the military I was Network engineer
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/2651.htm
Part of that was project management. One unit I was with I was in charge of implementing qnd desgining a new training systems in a limited time frame that had to get 30,000 Marine s trained in a short period of time. Then I had to "sell" it to other units . so I am familiar with design, communicationd , and project management. |
