Machinist HAHAHA wrote:as a fellow disabled player it is nice to know more people are taking on the challenge of eve online It really is. When I first started playing, I was pretty intimidated by other players and stories I'd heard. I was nervous to approach other players and join a corporation. Finally, I took that step, more like a jump actually and I've not stopped playing since.

Might I suggest listing some equipment and software where it is easy to find? Such as in the channel MoTD? One hand keyboards. Mouse with many thumb buttons. Software that enlarges sections of a screen.
... and simple things like how to increase the font size of chat windows.

It's funny, I've had to such hardware (Razer's Naga mouse and their gaming keypad, the Orbweaver) for more "twitchy" games and other MMOs, but the more relaxed pace of EVE means that I've simply been able to arrange my UI to my liking and it works OK. Not saying that my experience is the same for everyone and that this isn't a great idea ofc.

You got the VA to say you're disabled?! Then you really must be.
I have hearing loss, tinnitus, TBI, and nerve damage and the VA says I am..no wait, I'm not..ok, yea I am, but it's not service related..or maybe it is.
OP: Hat's off to you Sir. o7 I wish you and your endeavor the best, and Happy Birthday. |

I'll work on a list of software and hardware.
I had made a corporation, but I shut it down. I don't think that someone's just going to leave their corporation to join a new one. If people show interest, then maybe we could work something out.
Any donations are welcome, maybe we can create an event to raise awareness of disabled gamers and offer ISK prizes. I also think that if we could get some press (i,e: EVENews24, New Eden Update, etc...) we could get some more awareness.
One thing I'd love to do is organize a CSM town hall centered around letting disabled players talk with CSM members and vise versa.
Message me or respond with your thoughts and ideas. I'll be in Washington D.C. over the next four days, but I should be able to check in from time to time.

Would anyone be interested in starting a disabled friendly/focused corporation? I have the time and can work with the people who are interested.

That is one example of unique eve. Here, players compete equal, but social is a strong part as well. Ability to relate and talk some real world can help. Also different players look for different things. Will help people relate just in playstyle alone?
also if someone is having difficulty playing eve due to a disability, the ability to ask someone else who has the same or similar affliction how they cope, and maybe being able to make some adjustments based on that and others info will make that players life in eve more enjoyable. And you are less likly to be trolled or abused for asking for help. It would also make it so that anyone who wants to be an a-hole can be easily delt with with a kick form channel.
Best of luck, this like the bestofus, broadcast4reps, and other communities and aid programs in eve are great.
OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom

I love it! I'm not disabled, but my wife is blind. Knowing her other visually impaired friends, the community she is a part of and the support they bring to each other, I know this will bring positive experiences to those who join. Let me know if there's any support you need.
Also I have an Ideas and Features post about bringing voice over accessibility to EVE to expand its community to those who are interested. I'd appreciate it if you could support the idea and show CCP that this is a feature they should seriously consider.

Not that I don't appreciate the need/desire to create a forum for linking up with other people with similar viewpoints. But is this a corp/alliance you're speaking of? I don't know that a Disabled Corp will be a good idea. Maybe better to just have a chat channel.
I just worry because every corp has bad times. When a disabled members corp has a hard time, this will feed negative stereotypes and incite major trolling.
I've personally encouraged Devs to make certain interface concessions towards color blind players, such as using different symbols rather than colors to define interface relationships. But playing legally or totally blind, I wouldn't even know how to start keeping the game fun and playable without a friend to act as an interface.
My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

I have no real intention to leave my corp/alliance at this time. If I did make a corporation, it would be disabled friendly.

True, but this could be said about any ethnicity/religion/community/etc. Just like [enter race here] can take offense, ignore or laugh at jokes made about them, the same can be said about disabled as well.

That's why I'm trying to get CCP to make a screen reader interface for EVE(see above). That would allow blind players to play without a friend much like a MUSH/MUD. Some legally blind are only visually impaired but can still see with larger text or things like the Windows zoom accessibility feature. |

You can see it here. With the feedback given in that thread, conversations with other players both in game and on Slack we've decided to move forth with the Disabled Players Union. The Disabled Players Union is a player created and player driven group for any player with a disability. I am actually legally blind so it would be great to talk to you all! Anyway, we've created a in game chat channel called "DPU Lounge" and we're setup for as many of you want to join that channel. We've reached out to CCP Guard in regards to getting us on the next o7 show and we've also reached out to Bobmon about getting us shared on EVENews24. Hopefully things will pick up pretty fast! The purpose and goal of the Disabled Players Union is to provide a safe and helpful space for players with disabilities. So please join us! Fly Safe~~~~ I like your engagement Morgan. But isn't this one of the few opportunities for disabled people to share a hobby with Not-disabled players?

I agree with your sentiment, but, in my case my hearing is, well, not terrific, thus making joining many corps and ad hoc pvp gangs using teamspeak problematic.
Perhaps by using the channel I may be able to find out what solutions folk may have to my problem.
Oh, and what DaReaper said above...
This is not a signature.

Sounds like a noble endeavour, and I'm sure a lot of disabled people who don't feel welcome elsewhere will appreciate it. As a disabled person myself though, I'd prefer to be able to integrate with everyone and avoid any kind of segregation. If people don't want me around, then they're already segregating me. No need to do it to myself. The problem isn't me and my limitations, it's other people who can't accept and work with them.
