Gidday everyone!
As announced at EVE Vegas, we're forming a Capital Focus Group. This group will help provide feedback on the future plans for capital ships (including Super-Capitals!).
- We will use this forum thread to accept applications from players who wish to participate in the focus group
- The decision on which players are invited to the focus group will be made by CCP
- This focus group will not receive any secret information, and therefore will not be required to sign any NDAs
- We plan on making the logs of the focus group chat public for everyone to view. Everyone can see what is being discussed, but only focus group members and CCP devs can actually talk
- When selecting focus group members, we will be looking for people who can demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively and provide reasoned and calm feedback. We also want the members to have significant experience flying Capital Ships and have strong knowledge of EVE gameplay, fittings and balance
- The focus group will take place in a Slack team, so members will need to be able to use Slack
Focus group members will not be forced to attend any meetings or to pass any minimum activity thresholds. People in any time zone are welcome.
If you're interested in participating in this focus group, please post in this thread with an explanation of why you feel that you would make a valuable addition. We'll provide a list of members and details of how players can observe the chat logs before we start inviting people to the Slack team.
Cheers!

Making the official post.
Lord's Servant/Servant's Lord/boge (this char).
I have extensive capital/supercapital experience going back years, ranging in everything from large-scale null super/cap work, to lots of wspace small-midsize work, and am one of a handful of people in the game with personal solo dread/supercap work.
I also enjoy breaking weapons systems hilariously (*cough* dunk phoenix *cough*) and enjoy the **** out of capitals; they are a large part of my enjoyment in playing this game.
Y'all know me. :) |

I would like to be included as a 'new super pilot' perspective.
About me, I finished JDC V just before phoebe was announced, I have spent the last 2 years training from scratch my own super alt to do awesome things. I have had to solo move my super around eve, dodging all the hunting groups and learning as I go with advice from some people who will share (not many) and trying with killboards and the few youtube vids I can find, using sisi and my own often drunken late night move ops to practice. My super is still alive, and the skill queue is almost complete. I will have perfect skills at the end of , just in time for supers to change forever. XD
You all merely adopted jump fatigue, I was born in it, molded by it. I did not leave derelik until I was already a man!
My dream remains the same, to own a big badass war machine and bring fear to my enemies. I have big dreams of solo super and the citadel changes making my ship even more dangerous. My main thing in eve is solo and small gang pvp with therabois or fleets with waffles. I want to do that same small gang high risk stuff with my super someday too. I want to be in the blob that makes the next headline on BBC )))
There are far far far more experienced super pilots and FC's and I completely understand if I am not picked.
But if you want the perspective of a new super pilot, someone who has big dreams and has been training and montage-ing for almost 2 years now, all under the umbrella of phoebe and the state of supers now. HMU CCP. )))
Until she returns

I'll toss my hat into the ring. I've use capitals for years. I lived in wormholes both as a resident and as a person just looking to farm anomalies. I've also been the CEO of a mid-size alliance in lowsec utilizing capitals and supers at times. I've seen the complications of trying to use them in small groups and the different complications from using them in big groups now that I'm in PL.
I got this!

Hello,
In a previous life, I am the former owner of Major JSilva [who is currently owned by Rixx]. I have had extensive experience with flying capitals and supercapitals in "hot drops" both good and bad[we were setup], sov grinds and massive fleet engagements[Asakia, BR]. I also understand the pve appeal and the production/logistical side of capital's and supercapitals having been involved in running Brothers of Tangra renter organization.
Thanks for your time and consideration. |

I would like to participate in the Capital Focus Group.
I started playing in Eve in 2008 and have tried a variety of play-styles. Recently, I have been focused on flying carriers and other logi ships and would have insight into how the new Force Auxiliaries would play into battles.
I have flown carriers into slowcat combat, triage, and structure rep operations many times in null sec against major null sec groups.
I have built capitals and have experience in the industrial side of capital gameplay.
Previously, I have done beta testing in other MMOs, such as Ultima Online and Everquest.
My communication skills are good. Here are examples of my writing on Eve: http://crossingzebras.com/author/dunk/
I am even-tempered and unlikely to create drama.
I know how to write bug reports in a detailed fashion with specifics and test for repeatability.
Lastly, I give good soundboard in fleet.

I would be interested and happy to contribute. As a long-term eve player, alliance leader and FC I have a keen interest in seeing capital ships fulfil a variety of roles for player groups both large and small.
I'm excited by the prospective cap changes and hope the end result delivers an outcome for use of capitals where skill and tactics are as relevant as they are in the subcap theatre.
I believe I can bring a creative contribution from the perspective of a midscale alliance. |

Why not!?
Been in a carrier (can't afford a Super or Titan...) for a few years, with a bit of use. I've been playing Eve since 2005, so I've seen the whole gamut of balancing passes that have graced all of the ships I love/hate. I feel like I'm a good communicator if I'm around other good communicators, and I'd love to have a hand in helping bring Capitals back to their place of prestige.

Greetings,
I have loved Capitals and Supercapitals even before playing EVE. The Trinity trailer (forever the best in my heart, but the Dominion one runs a close second) showing the Hel and Nyx in all their magnificence got me to start playing, with the goal of getting one day my own Hel or Nyx, or both.
Since then, I have steadily worked up my way to owning and using all the Capitals and Supercapitals in the game, and even managed to get myself a Fleet Commander chair in the CFC/Imperium - which considering how aggressive I am seems like one of those weird decisions that someone will really regret one day !
I have been in B-R5RB, I have won and lost Capital fights, I have solo-hotdropped dozen of Capitals, I have (sometimes) survived counter-hotdrops, I have been in structure in my Ragnarok and lived to tell the tale, I have planned traps, I have walked intro traps... but I have never mined with these ships now that I think about it.
I love Capitals, I love Supercapitals (except the Revenant, DPS doesn't excuse its looks), and I love what I have seen so far about the changes that have been proposed. My enthusiasm is bursting through the seams of my jacket, and I would be honoured to put it to the service of the community by taking part in this Focus Group.

I have flown both carriers and dreads in many different circumstances. Specifically WH triage and escalations for my carriers and WH PvP, WH escalations, and Null sec PvP for my dread characters. I have also used caps for other utility roles in Wh's for things such as hole rolling.
I have been playing for 2 years and have spent the last year and a half working heavily with capitals. |

I currently greatly enjoy piloting triage in small numbers in medium-scale fights in lowsec or w-space, so definitely count me signed up for this.
I won't waste the time of anyone reading with my position on the changes as currently proposed - for the interested, it can be found here.

Hello TEAM. I would very much like to be part of this capital focus group. Once upon a time my titan, Wasp O'Ryan, was deemed to be the most lethal titan. You know, when they were totally broken. I've done pretty much everything you can do with a Titan; DD'd friendlies, remote tracking boosted from a Nyx and solo-camped undocks, died, jumped instead of bridging - the works! I'm also an FC for a group that is known for using and moving capitals, especially coming up with inventive and out-of-the-box ways to use them. While a member of the CSM, I remained objective over what I felt was broken and what I felt wasn't whenever the topic came up.
I would very much cherish the opportunity to continue on with an objective discussion following one of my favorite ship-classes out there.

I'm available and ready to contribute. The majority of my extensive experience is in nullsec PVP ranging from solo hotdrops/doomsdays to FCing fleet fights in and out of TIDI. As a titan, supercap, and capital pilot I'm eager to offer my ideas and play devil's advocate to make sure any future cap changes are well thought out before launch.
I believe a nullsec fleet PVP perspective is particularly important to bring to the table for this discussion, especially one from outside the established (super)capital powerhouses like CFC or PL.
As a veteran alliance leader and aggressive FC currently fielding and fighting capitals on an almost daily basis, I'm particularly well positioned to take a big-picture approach to any changes rather than push for any vested interest or niche style of game play.

Hi,
Prior to joining CYNOU and Pandemic Legion this year, I was heavily involved with smaller lowsec entities such as HORNs and Tempest Legion that were very focused on the use of capitals in all aspects of PVP particularly in lowsec but also in the NPC nullsec systems. Our use of capital ships ranged from simple triage to leveling the playing field using dread escalations even if the grid was not considered "safe". Our philosophy was that capitals were not just something to be used on strategic ops to defend/create timers, but even on smaller fights where adding a single moros to support your sub caps could greatly swing the battle in your favor. We also were not afraid of "larger fish" as we developed tactics and metas that would ensure both successful entry and egress.
I feel as if I can bring these experience to the table, along with the many other great minds that have already posted here, and provide a unique perspective on the use of caps from smaller lowsec entities that were able to operate even under the umbrella or larger more powerful alliances. |

Hello, I am a well versed triage pilot who would like to provide input on the upcoming force auxiliary ships. I also have experience flying dreadnaughts on a different account and would like to provide some input on that front as well. I have flown mostly in lowsec as a solo triage and have experience in wormholes also, I feel this experience puts me in a position to provide valuable feedback and I would love to join the focus group. Thank you. |

I would be more than happy to help out. I have plenty of experience multiboxing dreds on siege ops, assisting with titan drive bys, getting sky netted etcetera. I also think that i bring a unique view when it comes to hunting caps. Since the creation of thera, a number of small gang entities have made a name for themselves hunting caps ( and small groups of them) with sub cap vessels. This gives me a rather unique experience to draw from.
I feel that i could add unique and well constructed arguments / opinions on cap chamges. Being apart of the T3D group discussion also allows me to have unique insight into what these focus groups already look like. Please let me know if I can be of any help in this regard. |

Hello and good evening,
I would like to apply for the capital focus group.
I have played Eve since just after Beta, having watched capital warfare throughout all its stages develop and have also been apart of many of the major capital engagements the universe has seen.
While I enjoy late scale combat, I also almost more frequently use capitals in small fleets (wormhole space and pve inn0.0).
I have a number of dread and carrier pilot's as well as supers and titans and feel I have a good grasp on the mechanics of capital usage as it is presently.
I regularly contribute to the discussion on fleet composition in various outlets such as my podcast, blog and guest on shows such as the Open Comms show.
In real life I am a Firefighter, paramedic and entrepreneur in the medical and information technology space.
Thank you for reviewing my application.

I am well versed at the mechanics of capital ships, in both PVE and PVP, from wormholes to low sec, to null.

Hello. I'm unashamedly an eve Vet having bounced off eve a few times in the first year and then eventually stick with it in nullsec since the first great war. During those early months and years in nullsec I saw the deployment of dreads and carriers in their hayday of POS warfare and was on the receiving end of the worst supercap balance choice (the remote doomsday).
Since then I've flown and FCed a vast array of doctrines from small gang roaming and camping, mainline T3 and BS fleet all the way up to carriers, dreads and a Super-carrier cleaning crew in the Dominion SOV system.I am experienced with both fleet and solo / multibox use of caps and supers. For a time I had the record for most reimbursed caps in Goonswarm so my knowledge of cap combat is not just theoretical it is from repeated combat use of the ships.
I'd like to get to contribute to these changes because while I did agree with the need for something like the jump fatigue change I feel it was intelligent and did as much harm to activity levels in eve as it did good and I'd very much like to make sure citadels and Cap balance bring in a lasting new uptick in activity.

My calling in eve is being a capital ship pilot. I enjoy big ship gameplay and have a ton of experience with them - 7+ years as a Nyx pilot, 8 years as a carrier pilot, and 4 or 5 years as a dread pilot. I have spent long periods of time in a top tier alliance (Red Alliance) and also in a mid tier alliance (IRC) . Those provided completely different experiences for capital pilots so I can represent different types of players. I will provide honest, objective feedback based on my experiences and have the time to be active in this group. It is my intention to protect the interests of both capital and sub-capital pilots - I'd like to see them remain valued and aspirational ships, but fun for subcap pilots to fly with and against as well.
Thank you! |

I want to be part of that group.
I have few years of experience flying capitals (both Dreads and Carriers) in Wormhole space. I have killed them, died in them. I've used them for both PVP and PVE (capital escalations). I've been on receiving end of Caps escalations go wring (hot-drops) and on the side doing the dropping.
Between my characters I can fly and flied all 4 carriers and dreads (although some not as extensively as others) and can give input on their strengths and weaknesses.
As for carriers my knowledge is limited to triage carriers. I never used them as pure drone boats (nether as fighter platform nor slow-cat variant). For dreads I have been using them both to fight other capitals and as blapping tracking dreads. My expierience is limited to capital use in WH.
I have used and fought capitals in WH space both: C5/6 wormholes (where its trivial to insert those for attacker and defender) and in lower class WH's (latetly in C4 and previously very briefly in C2) where they are used as force multiplier for defender.

I'd like to put myself forward.
With the exception of capitals in wormholes I can think of few activities with capitals and super capitals that I have not experienced.
From 150 pilot sentry carrier fleets, solo doomsday drive-bys out of range of support, combat triage vs. superior numbers, baiting hostile dreads with a super carrier and just about everything in between.
Prior to Phoebe I had 1000's of light-years travelled solo/running small groups with super capitals and took part in numerous engagements from the largest the game has seen to minor scuffles. Post-Phoebe I also have extensive (successful) experience moving super caps in hostile/semi hostile environments, fleet and solo combat, as well as planning and running large fleet cap/super movements.
I feel I have excellent experience and understanding of not only current mechanics surrounding caps and super caps but also the realities of what you can achieve in game using them. |

Even though i am sure there are many folks uniquely more qualified than myself, I would welcome the chance to see whats in store for cap logi platforms, and the opportunity to share my thoughts and opinions about them as they go through their testing phases.

Hello,
I'm also going to give it a try. In terms of experience I cannot compete with names like Rocket X, Lazarus, Sebastien or Elise by any means but I may bring another perspective to the table than them.
Here's is a carrier pilot who got into capitals post-Phoebe, who participated in the last big Dominion sov war, the defense of Fountain and purging of Delve exclusively as a capital pilot. I had structure grinds, capital vs. subcapital combat and capital vs. capital combat as well in the ZXB fight early this year and on several other occasions in Venal.
I was also a super pilot for a little while but sadly just post-Aegis so it never saw real action until I sold it eventually because I decided to pursue other goals in EVE.
I do have a big interest in making capitals useful and engaging to interact with since carriers are the sole reason I started playing EVE Online, the day I signed up I knew that my ultimate goal in EVE would be to fly such a ship one day. I would really like to continue flying capitals and make it enjoyable for others as well.
Due to my past experience on a game development team I understand the role of proper communication in order to achieve a common goal. |

Hello Space Friends,
I would like to apply for this Focus Group, as one of the primary FC's for the AUTZ for Pandmic Legion. I had probably one of the first 10 Supercarriers ever, and in the top 100 titans. I use capital ships in a multitude of situations, from drops, to POS grinding, to Sov Mining. As someone who has in the past who actively used an AoE DD in the past, and solo mothership farmed an entire region during my time in Merceanry Coaltion. I am well versed in most if not all uses of capital ships currently and I feel that I would be able to provide a unique perspective (of essentially the pre to post DT shift (AUTZ#1 (GMT+10) and how that will affect the uses of these ships.
I have also in the past been heavy involved in their construction and sales.
Thanks for considering me. |

Hello TEAM. I would very much like to be part of this capital focus group. On Oleena Natiras, I am currently both the most active pvp titan and the deadliest pvp titan in the game. you know, after you nerfed all the titans.

I'm also an FC for a group that is known for using and moving capitals, especially coming up with inventive and out-of-the-box ways to use them.

Hello I'd like to throw my hat in this as well. As one of the behind the scenes guy of a large growing alliance with quite a few caps, supercaps and titans but nowhere near as much as 90% the amount of the other guys have here in this thread. I feel I would bring the little guys perspective on this topic, a good balance, versus the status quo from the mainstream users of such toys. I've flown with many of these guys in this thread but I've also commanded and flown with what would be considered scrub tier groups as well in a very high risk dangerzone experiences. My goal is making capitals great again..useful, fun, fair/balanced for all players
I also have insight in construction and sales of caps all the way to titans.
Please consider me to the group. TIA

Hey,
For the better part of the last 3 years i have made it my goal to fly dreads against players at every chance given. Going from the Black Legion suicide dread fleets to 7bil logoff trap naglfars in wspace. A majority of my experience is around dreads. I have flown all other capitals as well, but in the future the focal point is going to be over dreads and titans decimating enemy capital fleets with guns and super weapons. Having someone like me providing the true voice for dreads will be an invaluable asset.
The proposed changes are definitely moving in the right direction, and the most important thing is iteration and additional mechanics. This is all unknown territory, but a lack of slowcats reps and a whole lot of dread DPS means a whole lot of fun.
o7, Muha
P.S. Don't go to halloween parties and eat jello shots 2 days after you get back from Eve Vegas. RIP ME.

There are quite a few folks here who have demonstrably better reputations for throwing around Capital and Supercapital ships than I do. It seems like half of PL has volunteered (no surprise there). I look forward to seeing some more of the Low Sec, WH, and NPC 0.0 Capital and Capital killer crowd volunteer.
As for me, I've been flying Capital ships since early 2008, mostly as a member of smaller corporation fleets, but occasionally with larger coalition fleets. I have a lot of experience flying Dreadnoughts and Carriers in all scales of combat. I've owned a Titan for several years, but only rarely have the opportunity to employ it offensively, but I'm always looking for opportunities. Unlike some, due to geography I have not consistently had the luxury of having others come bail me out if I got into trouble with it. For what it's worth, I also have a Jump Freighter and have flown a Rorqual (although I do not own one at the moment).
In short, I'm an experienced, reasonable, and articulate Capital ship pilot who could make a contribution to this group.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, why do I post here?
I'm stubborn.

Yeah yeah, so I realize that this thread is going to be overrun by PL and you probaly dont want to be perceived as favouring one allaince over another. But im going to add my name to the list ....
- I run multiple capital accounts. Both titans and supers as well as carriers and dreads. Oh yeah, and I have the corp rorqual too ! - Im the XO of Body Count, one of the oldest corporations in game and founders of the original Mercenary Coalition. Please feel free to count the number of supers owned by our corporation. - Im an 8 year bitter vet with a seriously active killboard across all my accounts. - I fall well above the average age of the Eve Player base. - Im a professional software engineer specialising in real time systems so I know the basics of the limitations and abilities of the Eve server and client software. - Im a Kiwi who just took great delight on winning a bunch of Isk from Bam Stroker (sorry Bro, love you really) on a certain Rugby Match. But I promise never to mention it again. In reality Im actually active in the US Timezone, but available on Slack during the US working day.

Not enough WH reps in here.
Capitals are of significant interest to me, I spend a lot of my time in the hunt for capitals and that's probably my most defining gameplay.
The influence of these changes over the high class WH PVP and PVE meta is huge, and I would like CCP to make sure wormholers get their voice heard. |

I own small capital fleet of my own , have 5 pilots having JDC V. Want to have capitals used more often , like allowing them to enter all lvl 4 lowsec , and nullsec missions (aka i also want to lose a ratting carrier). Goal should be making carriers and dreads more appealing to day to day duties. I love revelations, and i don't understand why CCP hate them.
Capitals should have bigger range of jump drives , but only way they can cross between regions is by using regional gates.

I am interested to participate to this Capital Focus group.
I am a beginner capital pilot. The only experience I have so far is building my very own first carrier, and using it in WH to rat sleepers anomalies. I have flown in many fleets involving capitals as support, and participated to kill a few.
I would bring the perspective of a player that has mostly been subcap pilot so far and want to be able to use Capitals without necessarily having to be part of larger groups or fleets.

I too would like to help out with the focus group.
Who am I? I am one of the biggest capital builders in game. I can create half a capital fleet in a weeks time if needed. I have build every capital there is except 2 jump freighters, but we'll get to those eventually. I have flown every capital there is(Ive sat in a Revenant befor I sold it, that counts!). I have 9 capital pilots who all own a dread and/or carrier each and I have 2 titans and 1 supercarrier.
I used to fling about freighters like they where jump freighters with my titan befor phoebe. Ive horrible lost a carrier or 2 by beeing stupid. I double sieged on a tower and got left behind by my entire fleet once, Thanks FC, still managed to survive heh. Ive done the whole jump instead of bridging and bridging instead of jumping with my titan.
I used to love that I could get my titan from deklein to delve in 15 minuts, but I totally agree that wasnt good for the game. I like the idea of jump fatigue but it needs some more iterations so we can all be happy about it. Looking forward to the new capital changes and how they will shake up Eve. |

On behalf of the massive silent minority of this game who are not forum warriors or trolls, or even class themselves as bitter, I'd like to put myself forward.
In 2004 my wife got a baby, I got EVE. I honestly think I still got the best deal (love ma boy, but EVE never talks back!), my first carrier in 2005 and with alts moved up to super. Never been an "alliance" player so never got the funding for a titan and after my experience of super, don't really want one.
But I remember (see I am that old) freighter ops moving from Jita, through low sec to deepest darkest null sec. No one liked it, but then there was no other way. I bought a rorqual as that was the only way to pick up your moon goo easily I remember Cyno's going up on a POS a titan putting its AoE through to see if corps had passwords set on shields (Yeah you could have shields up without passwords, and the Doomsday would get through it).
I was on the second titan kill in EVE - fountain core, but in those days you only had 12 people on the mail and the poor dictor pilot who got their first didn't make the mail (ME)>
I remember seeing the first MOM shutdown systems, as no one could counter it (thank you heavy dics).
I've seen people hot drop me solo fighting a drake me in a cyclone, for the drake to light a cyno and in come 2 carriers (funny thing were both archons, I never did find out if the drake was armor tanked) and watch them leave without even picking up ma loot.
I've seen the problems with lack of super game play at the moment. I understand the frustration of having a super and putting it on a sitting toon and just waiting for the sub to expire, cause what use is a super at present but a fantastic killmail to someone else.
I'm keen, I'm old and I love EVE (3 fanfest, numerous get togethers, and 1 silver AT medal (AT V best AT)).
I'd bring experience but also not a defined view. I remember (see again, old), people complaining about OP battleships were, that only a few could afford them.. and so on. Adapt or die and harden the fook up.
We got to find a reason to put your super in the field, I want to see them used in escalation, I want to see niche modes for capitals (Love the idea of logisitcs capitals - why not, we have logistics everything else). I want people to log in, have fun, not just those that can afford these "supers" but those who club together. 50 rifters tackling a super sounds awesome, but the super needs the ability to counter.... You know one of those rifters will have a cyno, and in comes 10 other supers... not really exciting game play for anyone.
All in All, for 11 years I've logged into one game, I love this game, I love nearly every aspect. One part I've not always loved is capitals.... I'd like to make sure in the future we can have fun with them, but also keep that adrenaline rush every time you *undock/login one! |

Aloha. I think I will be a key voice in this focus group.
"But Ulth," you say, "Although you are devilishly handsome and have a voice like sweet onions and portobello mushrooms caramelized in butter, you don't have any caps. Why would you be key in a Capital focus group?"
An excellent question, friend. Allow me to elaborate.
- I'm not a capital pilot yet but I could aspire to be one, if the changes seem cool enough. Why is that important? Because EVE has a problem, and that problem is player retention. Capital changes alone aren't going to solve that, but having a big shiny hunk of awesome is a powerful motivator. Think of the cap changes like food. However technically balanced the ships are (the gaming equivalent of tofu), if it doesn't look engaging and radical (like pizza) you're going to get far less buy-in from a bunch of relative newbies. And newbie buy-in means subscriptions.
- I'm mostly a PvE guy. A lot of these changes revealed at EVE Vegas seem PvP related. And that's great, but Vegas also revealed that at least half of EVE players are a "silent majority" of social/entrepreneur-style players for whom PvP might not be the first concern. Now, I'm anything but silent, but I understand the need for EVE to keep its PvE game healthy and robust. Capital changes alone won't fix all of the game's myriad PvE problems, but they will be an important indication of a healthier PvE ecosystem overall.
- Did I mention I'm devilishly handsome?
Clearly, I'm your guy. |

Hi hello I'm supercapital FC Farasoloni!
First of all I think it's great you guys move to focus groups over just asking the CSM where maybe 3 dudes know about a specific matter in detail. If you chose a balanced group that has dudes from various aspects of the game I think you'll get very good input, much better than the CSM could. Feeling somewhat smug over it since I suggest that not long ago B)
You should pick me because I have aquired vast experience with capitals over my time of playing eve. I've been on both sides of the fence; the underpowered dudes that fought cap blobs (but pretty successful at that) and I'm currently in a cap blob. I've done everything from triaging, fishing, scout titan, ghostriding, blobbing, titanbowling, login ewarp bumping and so on in 0.0/lowsec mainly as the FC or other highly involved nerd.
I think this gonna be sick. |

I think I could help with this focus group. I've gotten some experience on flying caps on my alt, both dreads and carriers. The focus here is on W-space (PvE/PvP), where sometimes a small jump to null sec is made to kill a ratting carrier.
Besides that rolling WHs with a capital is still a thing, so considering mass during all these changes is something I find important to determine the viability of any cap in the future. |

So i a legitimate question for CCP. I've been talking to the players whom are/ were on the panel for the the tech 3 destroyers. It started off great for about a week. All the ones I've talked to who have been active in that panal said CCP's communication has been non existent. And that thread is essentially dead in terms of information from both CCP and Panal members.
Now my question is what's the point of these panal threads if there isn't communication from CCP to the panal members or communication from CCP/Panal members to the rest of the eve community?

I have been flying capitals since pre Dominion and have done combat from 1V1 dreads to the null-sec cap fleets that are almost untouchable. I have owned multiple supercapitals as well as dozens of dreads and carriers. I hope I would be a potential good candidate as most of my experience has been in small to mid range fights where a handful make or break a fleet instead of the massive fleets of nullsec where 256 carriers is just a thing they can do. I understand how capitals influence both areas of the game and how ( under current mechanics ) they are essential for any group to be able to "claim" an area of space as their own. |

What's it to you anyway? If you're not one of the people who stand to benefit (read: have fun) from the system, then why have a voice whatsoever?
This is the same mode of thinking that brought us the unnecessary and useless jump bridge nerfs: smug self-satisfaction strictly at the expense of others, borne from jealousy and lack of achievement.

I too would very definitely be interested in this group, and genuinely believe that I possess the experience, analytical skills and ability to effectively communicate relevant ideas which would be needed. I'm not a terribly prolific poster on these forums, but believe I've established a history of providing insightful and well-reasoned feedback to the development team if you take a look at what I've written here in the past.
With regards to my own relevant expertise in the subject matter; while I can't claim to know supercapitals in such intimate detail as the likes of Rocket_X or served as commodore in galaxy-shaking battles, I can and do claim to have a great breadth of history with caps to draw upon. Starting my real eve career in a C5 WH alliance I've got a very good appreciation for how to get the most out of capitals in small-gang situations where they act as force multipliers, along with how to fight against them in the same theater.
Living in lowsec for a good while after that gave me an appreciation not only for how much scarier capitals could when mass limits were not a concern and you couldn't always see them coming, but how vulnerable they were to massed subcaps and just how little local tank often mattered even in the absence of coordinated capacitor warfare.
Moving to null full time with PL gave me yet a different perspective on capitals; that of the full-scale fleet fight and piloting my super in combat, which has been a thrilling experience. I can now say I've flown every class of capital short of Titans; triage, blap dreads, done silly things with phoenixes and believe I bring something to the table as a contributor to this group. |

Agreed. What this focus group needs is a gaggle of ignorant, paranoid conspiracy theorists, not people who actually use or plan on using capital ships. |

While not being a prolific capital user I believe I have something to contribute to this focus group. I have always been one to think outside of the box and look at problems from new angles in order to understand the entire system better. I have a long history with the eve meta and a extensive grasp on the games inner workings on all scales of combat. As a poster I like to keep things short and too the point, and also have a gift at spotting and translating misunderstandings, so that other people don't devolve conversations into useless dribble. |

I have relatively good experience with capitals and other ships in general and I would love to help out because I think that with all the new capital stuff coming out it I am going to be very active with capitals.
I have flown caps in low sec, a little bit in null and in wormholes so I have a pretty good knowledge of capitals.

I'll throw my name into the hat.
I currently multibox up to 20 capitals and supercapitals in PVE and PVP and have been multiboxing capitals for several years.
I've been involved in cap fights from the smallest to largest scales.
At various times I've engaged caps with subcaps, engaged subcaps with caps, engaged in hot cap on cap action, station gamed in caps outnumbered 10:1 or more, hunted caps and supers for ganks, sieged money moons in distant regions with kitchen sink small gang support, flown triage for subcap fleets, defended ratting carriers from gankers, theorycrafted GSF's current idiot-resistant ratting Chimera fit, solo hotrodded blap Leviathans and gank Wyverns on anything that'd sit still long enough to land a scram and light a cyno, participated in large fleet engagements and directed large fleet engagements in my current capacity as an active Imperium capital/supercapital FC.
I feel I have a wide variety of perspectives to bring to the table, and I'd appreciate the opportunity to contribute my input to the upcoming capital changes.

I own 9 carrier pilots, a couple of them can fly dreads and multibox them in both pve and pvp, I also own a supercarrier and often run ganks with it on subcaps ~elite pvp~ amirite? I have hunted caps, killed caps, lost caps and even saved dumb ratting goons from bs gangs.
I am keen to see how CCP deals with feedback on these capital changes and on how they can improve upon them. I am currently a FC for the imperium and have experience running capital fleets.
I could write a long effort post about how I started playing with capitals and how great these proposed changes are but imo they still need some work and am happy to offer my perspective on how these changes would affect a null sec group such as Goonswarm Federation. |

I would be very interested in taking part in this focus group.
I have only really used caps in a 'small gang' scenario but I have done so extensively and I feel that this perspective is really really important to balance considerations. I have flown them in both sieges and combat in w-space, lowsec and nullsec.
Most of the times I have used caps in nullsec/lowsec its been with far far bigger groups breathing down my neck so I know what it feels like to put a lot on the line with only a handful of subcaps as support.
I also have experience using caps and supers in far flung regions post-pheobe supported via WH's without the support train of a mega-alliance. It takes a lot of patience and dedication, two things id be happy to provide to this focus group.
Oh, and also I'm constantly checking half a dozen slack channels so what's one more? :D

Hello CCP,
I'm Ivory, and I'm currently in charge of Spacemonkey's Alliances Capital Group. I've been playing the game since 2009, and always made Capitals my end goal in EVE. As it currently stands, I own 1 of every type of Combat Capital ship type in EVE, and am always looking to help my Alliance mates get into the ships that I love to fly every chance I get.
As it stands, most of the new changes are outright exciting. The thought of being able to bring out an actual capital fleet, with actual composition is something I've always dreamed of being able to do, instead of todays slowcat balls of death, and I would love any chance to give some input into such changes before they come live.
Being a Capital FC is one of the most fun and challenging things I've ever done in EVE, and every chance I get to bring the hammer is nothing shy of a day-making event. I've had my loses, bloody noses, victories, and stalemates. I've had my hands on the keys from fleets as small as the low teens to as big as the hundreds. I'm no stranger to doctrines and theorycrafting.
All in all, I like to advocate fun. And nothing in this game is more fun to me than Capital Warfare. I will be pretty blunt about any asked for feedback (usually how I am, feel free to ask anyone in SMA), but my words often mean well. I hope you give me the chance to be a part of something huge and life changing in the end game of EVE.

Ive been a capital pilot for many years now and thoroughly enjoy flying and FCing capitals in my alliance and with allies. I am a hardcore carrier pilot but since the new possible dread changes were announced i am open to training to that now and want to help develop further the new growth around capital and super-capitals.

While normally I would advocate to join such a group myself, I am forced to admit that my specialty lies in Sov analysis and game mechanics, and I have a more limited understanding of capitals.
As a result, I will instead strongly advocate for Ivory to have a voice in this focus group. I have worked with him on many occasions as we discuss EVE mechanics as a whole and trade information. He has been one of my best sources of first-hand information on large and small-scale capital gameplay that I would otherwise have a much weaker understanding of. His rationalistic point of view and immense experience with caps would serve any focus group well.

Happy to participate, if you are still looking for people, though you have a lot of able applicants already from my alliance.
I've played since the beginning, flown just about everything, in every kind of alliance. I've posted quite a few things in the ideas forum that somehow made it into the game over the years, though that may be a coincidence. I'm an old dude, and I'd like to think fairly calm and reasoned when it comes to bouncing ideas around. |

I'd like to sign up for this.
I've been using carriers and dreadnoughts for a few years now. I've become very experienced in w-space triage and also use carriers and dreadnoughts in lowsec and for nullsec ganks on occasion. I like pushing carriers to their limit both in fitting and use in combat (combat refitting and reshipping, mass considerations, ...).
Because triage carriers are my favorite thing to fly in EVE I'd like to see capital logistics stay interesting and the issues specific to w-space and smaller scale (compared to kspace) engagements - particularly with the limited number of capitals that can usually be brought to w-space fights - taken into account for the upcoming changes while also not making them overpowered for k-space use. |

I'd like to register my interest for this.
As a former member of Snuffbox (until very recently) I have had a good amount of experience with Capitals in a PVP context.
I have made extensive use of both Carriers and Dreadnaughts in PVP and WH PVE environments, normally in medium scale (<500 Normally) engagements.
I also have some experience with Super Carriers having owned both a Hel and Nyx in the past.
Triage and Blap Dreads are my two favourite fleet roles and I have plenty of killmails, lossmails and stories to show for that on my various characters. I also have decent IRL experience working and providing feedback in focus groups and similar in a working environment.

I'd like to be part of this group.
My main experience with capitals is solo and in small/medium groups, often supported by subcaps. Most of the fights I have flown capitals in have occured in wormhole space. The fights have been similar to what I think the situation in a post-citadel world will be; applied dps, local tank, buffer and triage will determine which caps die, but without subcap support a group of capitals may well be sitting ducks.
I use Slack on and off work, so my availability is good. |

Hello Selector(s),
I am at your service to provide feedback on the new capital game design, I can comment on how players will view or make use of features or how fun I think they will be. It's clear from this thread that you have many qualified players to select from and I'm sure the design will be improved by good feedback from whomever you do select. I'm looking forward to playing with the final design.
I have extensive experience with capitals in their current iteration. I have made use of capitals as an FC of small and medium scale gangs for both combat and structure warfare. I've flown in large super capital and slowcat gangs as a pilot. I've died in my slowcat, repeatedly. I've tanked the brave hordes in a triage archon. My triage chimera has yet to see intense combat ... I guess I still have a few months.
I was at Eve Vegas and enjoyed the presentations. I appreciated the opportunity to ask questions - I put forward two. The first on capital SMA sizes and the second on tactical positioning in the new larger grids.
Some of my more memorable moments as an FC:
- In 2008 having a carrier supported gang let me cloak a dictor 30 km from them and continue doing their thing for the 15 minutes it took to move a gang into position
- In 2013 Coming within an inch of saving a poco sieging dread (not the best idea) from wormhole ahacs using suicide ecm (it died though)
- In 2013 joining an operation to surprise drop a PL tower grind - we killed a nag before the unlimited archon reinforcements arrived.
- In 2015 (now with PL) finding the edge of glory when my three dreads killed a small tower before being overrun by 90 ishtars (2 dreads escaped after 15 tense minutes of cycling safes)
Reflecting on these moments it is interesting that half of them I "lost." The isk loss certainly stung - yet these brief moments of sheer terror ended up being some of the most fun play sessions I've had. Having real options and real risk - knowing that the end result could go either way - is fun!
thank you for the consideration. |

Hi,
I'd like to volunteer/participate,
I was at Eve Vegas and saw the announcement of the changes, I'm excited and worried as ay other player and would like to participate in this group. I'm a more carrier-centric player that utilizes archons and chimeras for logistical purposes, mainly triage. While I'm also familiar with the workings of "supercapitals" I'm generally new to them. If I'd say I'm lacking anything it woudl be experencie with dreadnoughts. I can bring the perspective of a non-supercapital pilot to the table as a result of my inexperience. All of that being said, Fighters were my bread and butter, as well as deploying my little group of 10 drones, I would like to be able to provide extensive feedback on the changes coming to the new squad system. I'd also like to provide feedback on how these changes would affect wormhole occupying players.
I'm not some veteran and at the same time I'm not a relatively new player, I want to be able to work in this group to give feedback on how the changes will affect players like myself, and somewhat centered on what I'd like to see. |

I've got a lot of experience in flying capitals and fighting them (both against them and with them) in higher class Wormhole space, this includes the small scale combat of around 2-5 capitals and also larger scale evictions where anywhere up to 50 capitals might be fielded.. I've also FC'd capital battles before and have been heavily involved with their fittings. I believe these changes will massively shake up the use of capitals in all areas of space and would like CCP to acknowledge the existence of Wormholes with these changes

I have played Eve since 2003 though I only have a small amount of capital experience which might be an issue I am at least familiar with the ships in question. As someone who isn't tied down by the current system of game play or has a must keep feature of the current system in mind, I think I can provide some feedback on the value of the system being introduced.
I really want to make Capitals fun and something that you can bring to any fight!

I'd like to throw my hat into this ring.
I've been playing Eve Online since the days of Red Moon Rising (2006) having fallen in love with Eve after reading a PC gamer mag review of the game in 2004. Back then it was all Freelancer, but I yearned for more. When I finally got a decent internet connection, I downloaded Eve (back then, it was a 500MB download and could be played over dial up speeds) and started up a few characters. At first, I followed the normal trends of game play for newbros... namely mining, missions, accidental PvP.... Ladar harvesting (Myko and Cyto) until I started getting into manufacturing.
Being a lover of big ships in video games, I gravitated towards capital ships in Eve and started manufacturing carriers, dreadnoughts and freighters as far back as 2008. I was not involved in the battles of B-R or Asakai, but I sold caps to all sides during :D
I started this character as a dedicated capital pilot and could fly a dreadnought before I could use tech 2 large guns or microwarp drives. I went through most of the capital taboo phases as well, ratting in dreads and carriers in Tribute and Pure Blind, losing some to PvP and starting the cycle all over again. I ran anomalies, participated in big fleets (at the time) and used them for logistics (moving assets back and forth). Where as most players play Eve to blow up space ships or participate in role-playing, I dedicated my Eve life to accumulating isk to blow on capital ships, to fly or just ship spin. I prided myself in hoping to be one of a handful of people who could amass enough wealth outside of large alliances or powerblocs to afford super capitals. And I'd like to think I've achieved that.
During this 8 year capital phaze of my Eve career, I branched off into many other activities, most notably PI and started posting some of my ideas on how to expand PI in a few F&I topics... the largest discussion of which manifested in the planetary interaction 2.1 topic posted back in 2012. Since those days, I've amassed enough isk to buy a titan which, regrettably, only sees action on the test server whenever a mirror is made. Be that as it may, I've hosted a number of TQ hot drop fleets in & for alliances that include, but are not limited to: 1) Stark Enterprises 2) Circle of Two 3) Goonswarm 4) This isn't going to end well 5) The Bastards 6) Cruisers Cr3w
While it was still a thing, I loved flying my Skynet carriers in Syndicate. I'd bubble gates with 2 interceptor alts and sat on a station with my carrier, pewing my Friday and Saturday nights away, blowing up singular or small groups of entitled sub cap pilots who'd provide rage content in local and thanking god for the fun I was having. Alas. Since those days, my carrier life has been reduced to slowcats and my dreads were mothballed.
I have also sieged a number of towers pre-Dominion, sieged a few I-hubs post Dominion and RFed numerous POCOs with carriers in Syndicate CAS fleets. I am infamous for bringing carriers to guardian parties with Castabout gangs.
I strongly believe capitals and super capitals are under developed in Eve Online and could be made cool again, without dominating the class meta battles between sub caps, capitals and supers. That being said, I feel that the existing sub capital meta needs a kick in the nads and we need to empower capitals to engage sub caps and supers effectively, while serving as the lynch pin class for tackling and engaging supers. Ensuring sub caps need capitals to engage supers, will ensure capitals have a role outside of structure bashing.
Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

I have been playing EVE for quite some time now, over 10 years. I have stayed out of large fleet fights and always been a small gang fighter. Back in the day my Moros was a potent force multiplier and had a niche not in shooting pos but sub-capitals. 35 heavy drones made quick work of most battleships. I saw my moros later get its drone bay gutted, and while its DPS was impressive the small gang aspect of my dreadnought was lost. With that loss and the lack of variety in the capital field I was pushed from being interested in capital combat until these changes were announced. These were things I had always expected for capital ships but never saw happen. I still want to find uses for these capital ships in smaller corporation environments and think that most of the players out there are looking mostly at larger fleet combat so I would provide a differing point of view on how to use these ships and would be testing out some interesting aspects of capital ship usage. |

Greetings,
I would like to join in this group, because I am concerned about the nature of capital logistics. I am a Triage pilot, which experience in both optimal and sub-optimal hulls. I have been involved in capital fights and use capitals regularly. While I am in "the Evil Imperium", I have zero care about Alliance/Coalition agenda (not even a part of any of those leadership groups anyways). My agenda is very simple, to ensure that Capital combat is dynamic and entertaining, regardless of the scale.
All I care about is to see balanced ships, balances that encourage combat and varied fleet designs, rather than the current state of all the other ship classes, where there is "1 hull that rules them all". This is what led to the slowcats, led to Ishtars and Tengus. Balance in hulls, classes, and risk vs reward all must be looked at, as well as how they interact with other sizes. There also must be a balance between both small and large scale combat.
Rather than professing to knowing all there is to know about Capitals, I am just a layman, using these ships in multiple levels of combat and PvE. I see these types of ships as a furthering of power and ability, like many everyday pilots, and want to ensure that they are something that is both. |

mostly in the low-sec/0.0 pvp and pve roles
have been involved in both slowcat and triage fleet roles
have used capitals in wormhole escalations once or twice.
feel i can help represent the low-sec aspect of the game rather well.

Hello,
IGÇÖd like to take part in this Focus Group.
I have great experience in flying super caps and capitals. The first cap I bought was Thanatos in 2011 and by now I have nearly every capital and super among which are 5 titans. Since owning my first titan I DDGÇÖed really a lot of carriers and dreads. Moreover I do not only use them for solo or small-scale PvP, but also IGÇÖm FC for super caps of our coalition and previous FC of Solar Fleet. |

I'd like to express my interest in participating.
I've flown capitals for quite a while and over the summer spent quite a bit of time solo/duo dropping my Thanny.
With 3 capital pilots (and 2 others that I previously sold)... I quite often find myself in dreads, carriers, and even my rorqual. For a while, I also owned a Nyx but I wasn't happy with the state of Supers and sold it.
I've flown carriers and dreads for NSPI fleets, sacrificed them to live events, and traversed New Eden in a rorqual once looking for a fight.
One of my biggest fears of the capital rebalance, is the removal of solo capital play. I think it's an important part of the game and I want to make sure that it isn't lost. |

I'd like to volunteer as a tribute !
on a side note... I'd like to represent the fun part of the capital gameplay. How you are planning to make everything. Skills, how will they be transitioned to the force aux ships and all of that. I know how capitals works. flow supers and capitals and dreads. not all on the same pilot though. Died in triage and died in siege.
I'd like to help focusing on the unknown part to people by asking that one question that will make people think about what they are seeing. That one dumb question that escape everyone ! in any case I'm the 99% ! so you want me in :P |

I'd also like to go ahead and volunteer for this group.
I'm not going to try to pretend I have anywhere near the capital usage that some of the more noteworthy respondents, such as Rocket X, have, but I do use them fairly consistently primarily in W-Space and low-sec. I have used dreads in sleeper escalations, structure bashing, and counter-capital drops, carriers both as dps and triage, and have access to a bigger ship as well (I can provide details on this in a less public setting). Besides pure ganks, I have also had the good fortune to successfully withdraw capitals from bad situations, as well as the experience of failing to do so.
I think the main distinction I could bring to the focus group would be the perspective as a member of a smaller group, who uses small numbers of capitals strategically without the availability of a large coalition umbrella if things turn south. In PVP, my capitals are used to supplement a subcapital force or to achieve objectives that would be difficult for our limited number of subcapitals, not as an automatic escalation when there are sufficient numbers. This makes the choice to escalate to capitals or further much more meaningful, and as such, I would be very interested in ensuring that the effective usage of capitals and supercapitals is not limited to those who can bring more/replace them easier. I would love to focus on ways for capitals and supercapitals to receive meaningful gameplay without breaking balancing due to scaling at large numbers, or requiring those same large numbers to do anything at all.
Also, as someone with experience running capital escalations in dreadnoughts and lower-level PVE in carriers, the future of capital PVE viability would also be something for which I'd be interested in providing input.
I also have experience both at commanding small numbers of capital ships, and as a line person following the FC's orders.
I hope I can be helpful to the group, and if not, wish both the group members and CCP the best of luck in guiding these exciting changes. |

My name is Boson, I am the Mildir of the Dixon Cox Butte Preservation Society, the Alpha corp in TISHU.
Although I am a relatively newer player, I am uniquely qualified for this position in that I oversee the use of caps and supercap on a daily basis, as well as using thrm myself.
Unlike many of the canidates in this thread, I do not and have never had what anyone would consider ti be an overwhelmimg capital force, and think it is vitaly important for smaller groups to be represented by someone by someone who is not only informed about caps, but actively uses them and coords thrm on a daily basis.
I had the best seat in the house as a member of bl leadership to see the impact that phorbe had on nomadic groups, and understand the plight of the individual super pilot trying to catch up with the rest of his friends, and play the game at a very high level.
I also have a very stable timezone flexilbe schedule which allows me to invest a lot of time in EVE.
Lastly, and most importantly, I have a wide group of friends, ecompassing pretty much all types of capital gameplay from c6 wh pvp to sov null cap brawls (kvn, hurley, hed) to lowsec pos bashing, and can provide ibsight into the playstyle and issues a wide range of playerbase encounter.

Hello,
I have extensive experience in capitals in Low Sec, Null Sec and W-space
I fly 3 of the 4 dreads and 2 of the 4 carriers across my characters.
I go balls deep with ships people tell me are bad and I have been playing EVE since March of 2004
I flew a Phoenix before it was good.

Hi CCP,
I am willing to participate in this focus group.
Personally I love flying capitals and I have been doing so since '11. Having a chance to support CCP with feedback is pretty awesome, I will do my best to do so.
As an alliance diplo I can also gather feedback from our military & capital/supercapital department if need be to support feedback on this topic.

I guess I well throw my hate in the ring here.
I have been a capital and supercapital pilot for sometime. I have been part of coordinating capital fights since 2009. I participated in FCing B-R. I am pretty well known inside PL for both my general and tournament theorycrafting. Grath Telkin can certify I brought to eve the initial incarnation of the nightmare that is slippery petes.
I have been theorycrafting AT and normal fleets for PL for many years. I am used to focusing on (and trying to break) the games balance in very analytical ways. While much of this is hidden away in the pl forums, an example of my work can be found here. Those on the PL tourney team will testify to me spending days and hours chatting with other theorycrafters and PL FC's to better our
I believe I could provide value in this discussion not only as an experienced player, but as someone who has spent years trying to find holes in the balance of eve. Often with great success.

Hi. I'm interested in participating in this focus group.
Why?
Because I invented 'FISHING' , killing a jumpfreiter/carrier with a dread on a hostile pos/hostile cyno generator. Back then it was called 'getting nynced'. Getting nynced back in 2009
I was one of FC's in a FIRST dread on dread HOT DROP. First dred on dred HOTDROP back in 2006. After watching this video, many people started to play EVE.
I hotdropped with my dred/carrier/titan fleet almost all famous fleet commanders of EVEonline, who posted in this topic above me. Like in this video Pandemic Legion capital fleet led by Shadoo, getting hotdropped.
I was the FC and mastermind in supercapital battles of Uedama and O2O.
I flown and had all capital and supercapitaL ships in EVE ONLINE.
I killed countless titans, supercarriers, dreds, carriers. I killed countless capital fleets. I repped countless POSes with carriers.
Every capital/supercapital FC in EVE ONLINE knows me.
I believe i tried all and every aspect of capital warfare in this game and my experience will be very helpfull to CCP to improve this type of player experience.

I would like to participate in this focus group based on my own interests in seeing capitals/supers come out looking well, and a desire for new forms of content.
I'll freely admit that a good deal of my experience comes from PVE, and using carriers/supers as flying space LTL haulers. I have a reasonable basis in most every form of farming one can do with cap's outside of the old days of tracking titans and Cap escalations.
Logistics wise ive been involved in significant capital move operations both at the personal level, and the alliance level with multiple groups now.
Have talked with folks heavily in #Capitals and provided at least 1-2 non **** ideas and general feedback on other propositions. |

After a rousing discussion on the #Tweetfleet slack channel #capitals, I decided I ought to at least throw my newbie self into the ring.
I have been playing EVE for several years now, on my sub-cap pilot Nac Lac and lately as a multi-boxer with this account, focused on carrier skills.
I am new carrier pilot, despite having owned my nidhoggur for over 4 months now. I've only seen combat as part of a quickly thrown together POCO bash fleet. I FC'd despite zero capital experience but only with 4 total carriers on field.
I am an avid reader and try my hardest to learn as much as possible about the mechanics before I engage in an activity in EVE. Despite being a green cap FC, we managed to reinforce several POCO's that night and jumped the group out under my direction, evading a 30 man hostile roaming fleet (not reported on intel), without a capital loss.
I do my best to read blogs and play with EFT for random scenarios (discovered to my surprise that a shield>armor>hull erebus with high grade slaves, under current mechanics can get over 70 million EHP with X type modules. Without links too).
While I am fairly new to looking at the underpinning mechanics of EVE in the realm of capitals, I have been min/maxing in gaming since 2006 when I started raiding in WoW, researching and theorycrafting to figure out the best fits and skills for the given task.
I enjoy looking at new ideas, turning them on their head and seeing how they would play out in reality and pointing out the small or sometimes large details that could drastically alter the implemetation of the idea. The health of the game is much more important than the enjoyment of a small subset of players. Balanced capital use will keep the game strong and gain new players in addition to encouraging old players to come back.

hi
i've been flying and FC'ing every kind of capital in nearly every kind of imaginable role for the past four years or so. including carriers (triage/pantheon), dreads ('dread bombs,' blap dreads), and supers/titans (with and without support). I'm the main FC for my alliance which uses caps of some form on a daily basis, as well has having flown with Pandemic Legion and FC'd for Northern Coalition. I've FC'd capitals and supers extensively before and after the Phoebe expansion, operating under the threat of the leering PL/NC super fleet, and as a part of it.
As an FC and leadership of an alliance that revolves around caps I spend a lot of my time theorycrafting caps and asking/answering all the 'what if' questions that come up whenever capital rebalances happen.
There's no use crying after every mistake,
you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.

I would be happy to contribute to this focus group. I am in a fairly small alliance of very experienced pvpers who have fielded groups of capitals under various circumstances to great effect and without the benefit of some massive fleet-in-being to protect us or bail us out. I am a great EFT WarriorGäó and have put some thought into the challenges of balancing caps with the upcoming changes. As a result I have a few suggestions I think could help quite a lot, along with warnings of a couple of pitfalls you will have to deal with during this process. |

I'd like to sign up for this.
I have a lot of experience fighting and flying capitals in higher class wormhole space, from small and larger scale fights and using them for escalations. I was CEO of Triflexure, CO-CEO of No Vacancies, and current CEO of Polarized, and I enjoy managing my corporation, setting up fittings+ops, and dealing with people on a day to day basis. I myself currently fly the Naglfar, Phoenix, Archon, and Chimera.
I've always enjoyed wormhole space the most, but I do know the importance of capitals in K-space, particularly nulll. I would like to ensure that capitals are enjoyable to fly but adequately balanced, in hopes to nullify some of the current problems that capital ships have.
Slack isn't a problem for me, I currently use it with my corp, it's a handy tool! |

Greetings,
Even though I'm not a member of a Player group at the moment, that shouldn't be a determent of my knowledge.
I have extensive knowledge of the Industry Capital shipline. Spending a great deal of time in Null/WH/Low/High using these ships in both PVE and PVP scenarios.
While I have limited knowledge with Super Capitals, I don't see this being a bad thing. As someone with limited knowledge in this field, I might be able to raise questions and suggestions that the Veterans might not.

I'm probably late to the party, but I would like to do this. I haven't flown much in the way of caps until recently. And I've mostly been in a pve focused environment with a carrier. I fly both logi and dps in fights, and have a good understanding of how the game mechanics work. I want to see that the cap balance is done right, and doesn't bring the hammer of god down on W-space in particular. We have a unique style of gameplay that I don't want to see destroyed. |

Hello,
It seems like a group has already been selected, but my friendly neighborhood CSM suggested that the group might benefit from some diversity, and a voice from the smaller scale capital-using alliances. I run a small gang PVP alliance with a long history in low-sec that made the leap to NPC null, and then sov null following the Aegis changes. Our experience with capitals typically involves fleets of 15 capitals or less, often 5 or less, supported by subcapital fleets in the 20-50 range. My corporationGÇÖs first capital goals were to gain experience using a combination of triage and tracking dreads to fight much larger fleets than we could fight effectively with subcaps alone, and to get every one of our pilots into a GÇ£suitcase carrierGÇ¥ so that we could deploy to new hunting grounds regularly. Our next goals were to field dread fleets that could hit large hardened POS towers in a single cycle, as anything more with pre-Phoebe jump ranges would have been suicidal. Having achieved both of these goals, our next mission was to branch into Titans that we have primarily used for bridging, and occasionally used post-Phoebe for surprise Doomsday drops. I have dealt with moving various supercapitals across the map pre- and post-Phoebe, have caught and killed the occasional unsupported super, but I am not (yet) the voice of supercap fleet vs supercap fleet combat. A group like mine has benefited tremendously from the Phoebe jumprange reductions, as we feel very confident in our ability to scout 5 LY around a target system, and make risk/reward decisions accordingly. We also made good use of the new mobile cyno inhibitors when they were released. We were certainly victims of pre-Phoebe projection on many occasions, and increased our capital usage significantly post-Phoebe. Finally, I am the voice of a group that is not interested in mutual protection agreements with our neighbors. Aside from member alts and recruits, we do not have long-term blue standings with any other alliance, nor do we recruit aggressively in any effort to match our opponents fleet participation numbers. When we make the decision to commit capitals, we make that decision more often than not with the assumption that every other entity in range is hostile, and most of them have more pilots than we do.

Hello CCP,
I submit my application because I am neither a capital FC nor a direct builder of one. I submit because I am qualified under every other scenario related to capitals ranging from fuel logistics to jump fatigue, capital mod market manipulation to capital character bazaar selling, officer mod dominance to mineral hording in the major hubs. Not only have I engaged in every form of market speculation during your previous patches I have also participated in many of the more recent RL headlined capital fights.
Furthermore I would like to advertise my ability to professionally and productively act as the 10th man which is most commonly regarded as the devil's advocate. Having the interpersonal skills to effectively communicate amongst any level in an organization I also willingly leave my emotions at the door and will work until a task is complete.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

A majority of my capitals are flown on my cap alts but i've been in slowcat (RIP) fleets, flown triage and dread vs. dread and dread vs. subcap engagements.
I have extensive experience moving caps around and in/out of wormholes. Probably where my experience rivals most others. |

Hello CCP
I would like to add my name to any future list. Im a very level headed bloke eager to contribute to the discussion of ideas on improving Capitals for future generations. I would fall into the catagory of capital enthusiast. I love the style of play with its extra complexities and higher stakes. I think i can add constructively tothe discussion from an AUTZ perspectives.
I have spent the last 3 years in a capital heavy corporation (VDD) and enjoyed the pleasure of NC/PL capital content of the Fountain and Halloween wars. I have also flown most and/or destroyed all the different capitals in the game at one time or another and even FCd a few minor sov grinding supercapital and capital groups. I have a good understanding of all current metas of capital and supercapital classes and i think i could debate the pros and cons with broad minded fairness.

Or like always this supers group will fly on 30 supers together and no one will be able to do anything agains it. (especially if they never fight against each other, but we fight against all of them) |

CCP,
I would love to get in on this discussion as well. I do not have any experience with flying Super Capitals myself, however I have been around them some, and fought against them plenty of times. Not to say I've never wanted one... Once I'm able to dock and swap like any other ship I will most likely invest in one. That being said, I have been playing Eve for over a decade now. I've touched on pretty much any aspect of the game at different points in that time frame, but I have been active in pvp, espionage, and theory crafting for almost all of that time. A few brief cycles in Null Sec, but low sec pvp is where I hang my hat, argh a pirates life for me. I do have extensive knowledge and practice in low sec pvp including many battleship engagements that quickly escalated into dreadnaught slug fests.
If you would like a die hard low sec pirate's input, I would be happy to jump on board.

Hi, i feel like i can be helpful in the capital ship discussion because i have been flying all types of caps and supers for approximately 3 years and regularly using them in small scale skirmishes. My first combat capital was a chimera, which i used as a dps platform to fight with solo\small size hostile roams. Soon after i have bought my first supercapital (2013, hel) and started taking part in the CFC supercapital operations. Some months later i have come to the conclusion that i finished the basic training as an f1 super pilot and decided to make a step forward and find the content for my super myself. Since those days (end of 2013) i have been constantly learning new things in terms of using jump-capable ships and making decisions when to commit these ships into a fight.
Nowadays, i'm probably known for hunting supers in Aridia and the regions close to it. While having the decent number of the dead supercapitals at the kb, i was not the person who hunts, but the one who is being hunted. Therefore, i have major experience in this aspect from all points of view.
Also, i have many hours of the interaction with Starbases: shooting them with dreadnoughts, repping with triage carriers, being a tower operator, managing them to provide more flexible access and so on.
At the end, i would i like to add that i wish the numbers of russian-speaking participants was extended a bit :)

I can't claim the resume of Elise, or Lex or Laz... Hell I can't even begin to think why you would consider some one like me in their shadow. Here is what I DO know. I have spent a long time moving Supers and Titans in the shadow of PL and CFC. I have nuked CFC ratting Super Carriers who had the pos password of 12345. :P
I have helped friends move through Aridia/ Solitude and had 3Betters 30 dreads land 2 seconds after the safe log occurred.
I have been in Slowcat fleets and I have both survived and died as a Triage Carrier, sometimes both in the same night.
Even though I am part of Darkness, my Aeon has only seen 1 MAJOR fleet fight, the only damage it took was NC. FRIENDLY smart bombs.
The reason I would like to be a part of this focus group is that I have spent ALL of my super capital life, HIDING from other super caps. I have spent the majority of my play time prior to owning a super trying to get every ounce of play out of capitals possible, not to be caught and fight, BUT to avoid the conflict because I have almost always been incredibly outnumbered.
I would like to be a part of the focus group to ensure that the outnumbered have a voice at the table. To ensure that the random nerd who farmed 9 months for a Nyx can not only still use his ship, or move it to where it is actually useful to him, BUT to make sure that when he decides to commit the ship, it was BOTH worth his effort and to make it challenging as well as worth the risk.
I think if we all remember back we can think of that first expensive ship and the jitters. Then that passed and we got our first carrier....and we nearly had a heart attack when that counter cyno went up. Then when we graduated and were moving our Aeon with a friends Nyx, BOUNCED and DBRB hit local, while trying like hell to align out( STILL ONE OF MY MOST OH GOD **** JESUS MOMENTS)
As far as Experience. I have run dreads under CFC's nose in Pure Blind shooting pos's and ******* off before the blob could respond in MOA. Before that I was FC'ing Dreads( and blacking out drunk) in Scalding Pass as well as slipping carriers past Bubble camps in NPC delve when Pizza was making Test and Tribe miserable. I have gone from Combat carrier fits when I started out early living in Stain, through Pantheon Archons and into the modern age of Slow cats. No I wasn't in B-R, I was a few jumps out running a gate camp with/for N3 from work, intercepting dictors and additional tackle from getting into system.
I have asked to drop my Super and been told to **** off far too many times by risk averse FC's
I would very much love to be a part of this group because I can bring a little guy perspective to capital changes. I would like to help ensure that a smaller group of well prepared and thinking pilots have a chance against the blob via refitting, cyno inhibs, mobile depots and other tools in the game which could allow organized and intelligent pilots to fight against the odds. I would like to give input based on TERRIBLE fatigue mechanics on jumpable ships that do not encourage conflict but stifle it. I would love to be able to help refine a class of ships that have for far too long been relegated to BLOB warfare in nullsec, and help to ensure that solo nerds and small gangs can secure goals against the odds with proper planning and usage of mechanics.

I feel the focus group is lacking smaller sized lowsec group representation. I would very much like to be a part of the focus group and help represent smaller sized lowsec capital groups. I have been flying capitals in small gangs in lowsec for about 2 years now, most of my experience is in blap moros and solo/duo triage archons. I feel I can provide valuable input from the point of view of a person whose capital engagements usually involve less than half a dozen capitals, which I feel is sorely lacking in the current members of the focus group
Thanks. |

I volunteer for tribute. I have significant flight time in supers carriers and dreads. Born in tje fires of low sec and sharpened on rough edges of null sec. I have countered baited blown up and gathered the materials for capitals. As well as very impatiently waited for mine to be built. I traded from a thanny into a nyx because my alliance mates felt i was a superior pilot and swapped me one. That was 5 years ago and I have yet to lose it due to my understanding of warfare and mechanics. While i live in null sec due to politics my heart belongs in low sec. I think all changes to capitals need to be inclusive and forward thinking wkth low sec in mind. Ie station games, npc guns, npc owned space. The rules are so different tha null blocs fall on their face and whine anytome they have to set foot inside the unfamiliar rule set.
Last but not least... Put me in coach. I love this game and want to comtinue making a vast varied and unique experience. |
