One other important point. WTF is the CSM? I haven't seem a single post from a current CSM member in this thread with an opinion on these proposals. Neither have I seem any of the candidates for CSM sharing their opinions (except for Xenuria and he doesn't count). I want to know what the nullsec candidates in particular think about all this.
Manny, Endie, Corebloodbrothers - where are you?
I am doing my damndest to catch up with this thread. But you lot keep writing faster than I can read. When I am full caught up I will start actual comments and answers but like ISD Ezwal, I am reading it all.
Every damn post.

Second, CCP obviously isn't trying to ruin the game. They are perhaps just trying to ruin your game.
Or, you know, that the CSM is under NDA, which means they can't tell you if they were consulted and/or agree with it.
we were consulted.
I do agree with most of it. But if I am not your rep maybe you should be ringing up the ones you do think represent you.

Wow, I caught up.
OK, few points I have taken away so far.
1) People will use this to troll or aggravate other groups . . . like they don't right now?
2) Sov needs to have value. Agreed but if we gave it value before we changed how it changed hands you would be grinding structures again. I was under the impression most folks hated grinding structures.
3) Goons will ruin everything. How is that different from any other point in the past few years. The do because they like to.
4) Fozzie will be splitting some key points into separate threads. Great, so we can tick these down one at a time.
6) Mike hates OCD folks, anarchist
7) I was and am in favour of the overall ideas presented. I said that often and before I waded into this morass of a threadnaught. If you want other CSM's personal opinions, ask them. Maybe they will tell you the truth as well. Maybe.
8) I am amazed at some of the fits you guys been throwing about for a module not yet described except in vaguest terms but I really want you to focus on the key thing . . . no outside help for the entosis ship while in cycle. Vulnerable is the key.
9) I am amazed none of you realized that intel and cloaky camping will have a new purpose. Watching local to see if and when nobody is home during prime time. Or when the defense force tends to be lax.
10) All night shops are open 24 hours a day by rotating their staff. A large multi-timezone organization could do the same for the prime time to make things interesting for different parts of its membership.
11) If I were an Aussie alliance I would hire mercs to drag a late night prime time over to my slot so we could finish it off. Remember prime time is when the battle has to start, not end.
but what do I know? I am just a hisec carebear and hell yes I will be on a ganked roam with RvB when they take out ships to knock over undefended sovs.
Looking forward to the single out threads
oh and some stats for you, make of them what you will

https://soundcloud.com/eve-down-under/eve-down-under-episode-97-060315 is the link of Fozzie being interviewed on Eve Down Under. You may want to skip the first 5 min of introductions.
He addresses interceptors @ 11 minute mark
'If gameplay devolves into people orbiting at 250 km . . . then we would make sure that that doesn't happen"
Prime Time window will be the first 'breakout thread.
Look, go listen for yourself . . . or wait for the next thread. Greygal voiced a good idea of linking prime window to the indices of the alliance. One that is not active would see their window widen, making them more vulnerable.

Sadly, what I know and what I am allowed to say diverge, in places.
I am often shown the same graphs as you guys, just sooner. Now conspiracy theorists can claim that all the graphs are misleading or patently false but then what is the point in even engaging in the discussion if you trust none of the data laid upon the table?
I respect the NDA that I have signed and thus, stay a CSM for about one more week. The the guards will change.

A few side thoughts
The scorpion and the frog parable is nice . . . but do you recall the fate of both of them?
A few years ago when FW came out people called it a warmup for getting into null, null lite. Looks like they were wrong and null was FW lite and just warming up to now.
A friend in the game sent me an answer to my question of why do people do sov in null. He is a director in a fair sized null organization.
I will not name him or her since I failed to ask permission but this is what I got, summarized
Quote:Resources: Null has the best ore access, slightly better ice ratting loot, officer and faction modules. and moons.
Isk: Null has the most efficient ratting opportunities, and player localized player markets.
Safety: stations secure assets, allow for unlimited storage.
Power: SOV lets you put your name on the map to show your strength by how many systems you control.
In conclusion, pilots want SOV to have a home, plant a flag, and gather resources/wealth.
I think that did a decent job of summing it up. Do you have anything to add/debate?

I don't hate null, I just am not cut out to take orders from other people for fun. I also do poorly at yoga.
I am the one, here, engaging you. I am taking notes and asking the devs questions based on what you ask, here. Did that last night on Eve Down Under. But if you would rather I stepped aside to make room for other CSM to talk to you.
/me steps to one side
oh, look
yeah
I represent players of the game. ALL the game and anybody who thinks the upcoming sov changes will only have an effect on null is a class A fool. So I am here, not trolling, not joking around, doing what I said I would do for one more week.
If I wasn't the person you voted for it does not matter. I am still here.
and as I said before . . . I am already talking with NPSI folks about roams once this goes live. I don't like to LIVE in null. Doesn't mean I don't drop in for a visit now and again.

It is believed to be in each 'isk source communities' best interest to undersell what they make and oversell everybody elses. This is in the forlorn hope that CCP does not monitor isk making activities along with LP and other forms of reward.
Sadly They do. And they are not fools nor easily swayed by anecdotal evidence.
Making sov worth while has a LOT of aspects to it but I am not sure arguments over who is the poorest and who is the richest is part of it as, in the end, CCP will use internal data for such decision making processes OR they will go out with competent people to actually see what is what as they did with WH folks earlier.
But it is not supposed to be about who MAKES more but whether you enjoy doing it. Many a person has told me they don't care what isk is made in missions they refuse to shoot little red crosses all day. Incursions is adependent on a ton of other factors. Ratting in null depends on having secure borders. Each has its give and take and you are comparing apples and oranges when you try to stack them up against each other.

Coalitions will die . . . or thrive.
Tears are being shed, or lapped up.
seriously, who cares? It comes down to the part of the dev blog everybody skimmed through. That first part where the goals were set out. NO WHERE in there was there any mention of the effect on specific alliances, coalitions, corps, or art appreciation societies.
Reminder of the Goals.
Quote:Goal #1: As much as possible, ensure that the process of fighting over a star system is enjoyable and fascinating for all the players involved
Goal #2: Clarify the process of taking, holding and fighting over star systems
Goal #3: Minimize the systemic pressure to bring more people or larger ships than would be required to simply defeat your enemies on the field of battle.
Goal #4: Drastically reduce the time and effort required to conquer undefended space.
Goal #5: Provide significant strategic benefits from living in your space.
Goal #6: Spread the largest Sovereignty battles over multiple star systems to take advantage of New EdenGÇÖs varied geography and to better manage server load.
Goal #7: Any new Sovereignty system should be adaptable enough to be rapidly updated and to incorporate future changes to EVE.
So I am asking you. Do you think the GOALS were good ones or did you like the antithesis, Did you enjoy grinding structures, N+1 being the key to winning, all of which we have right now?
Does this plan address the goals properly?

Maybe if you had bothered developing your reading comprehension you'd understand that what we've been saying amounts to "no, it ******* doesn't". But you're not interested in a discussion, you just want to throw your tag around like some kind of authority.
So it missed on all 8 or is there a specific one that you really think missed the mark?
Waving the forum tag around, eh? No, I am trying to engage in a rational discussion. To get to the heart of the concerns and then take them up the ladder. A few have pointed out the lack of any official voice here (forgetting that it is the weekend and Fozzie has Monday to Friday job.
Yeah, I get that some of you are mad, even I with my limited reading skills can manage to figure that out. Thing is I am curious as to what part of the goals you think have been missed. Are you saying now is better than what is coming? Or do you disagree with the very goals themselves?
