Greetings,
My name is Mr Hyde, and I am pleased to announce my candidacy for CSM XI.
ABOUT ME
I have been playing EVE since 2005 and for the better part of those 10 years.
Over this time I have dabbled in many aspects of the game, but have always had an underlying focus and passion for PVP. My corporation history has been long and varied, and I have flown with notable groups from INFOD in the ancient past, to Rooks & Kings, to Black Legion, and more recently joined Pandemic Legion. I have always maintained friendships with players from my long time in this game, regardless of corp/alliance or politics.
Although my main focus in the game for the past year or so has been Solo PVP, I have had extensive PVP experience in many other forms of combat in everything from Triage/Logistics to Dreads to Subcaps.
I produce Solo PVP videos and streams for my Youtube and Twitch channels, which I try to make entertaining and educational. One of my favorite aspects of this is helping players (new and old) with solo/small gang pvp, whether that means chatting about strategy/tactics in my in-game channel, or helping players with fittings by evemail. I have found it to be a really rewarding experience, both in improving my own piloting, as well as connecting with the community.
I have never considered running for CSM before, but feel that the game is at important stage in its continued development. If CCP still sees value in consulting with a group like the CSM, I would be honored to participate and lend my experience to the process.
I believe my long experience in the game, gives me a unique perspective as a candidate, since I have seen the long evolution of EVE over my 10+ years playing and know what works and what doesn't.
BRIEF CANDIDACY SUMMARY
I want to first and foremost serve as a consultant for CCP on the issues they wish to relieve feedback on.
I will not serve as a lobbyist for any group/alliance and place the betterment of the game as my highest priority.
Although my personal opinions on balance & mechanics are varied, I always strive to balance sensibility and consistency.
Although balance is an active and ongoing process, we should try to make sure innovation does not lead to oppression.
Diversity and meaningful choices in the game are key.
PVP needs to be accessible to new players but also needs to maintain the depth necessary to challenge veterans.
CCP has a wonderful vision for the game, but oftentimes needs the help of the players in executing that vision.
Feedback and communication from and with the community, especially from active forums such as /r/EVE, is paramount to a transparent and accountable CSM.
TL;DR
I am a long-time EVE Player, active Solo-PVPer and videomaker, and hope you will give me your consideration for CSM XI.

Thank you,

Please be more specific about your platform. It sounds to me like what you are saying is "Balance for Balance's sake must be maintained". Do you want to change the small ship meta, as evidenced by your stated dislike of frigates? You are regularly seen flying larger ships; do you want to buff these? How so? You say also PvP should be accessible to new players; how do you intend to accomplish that? |

I don't need to see a platform, more a reaction to how you will deal with specific issues. So if they decided to spend time on assault frigates to bring them up to survivable again what stand would you take?

(1) In general, I think that finding a healthy state of balance, is always a moving target, and more of a goal to strive for, but never something we ever fully achieve.
(2) I think that the small ship meta, especially in small gang pvp, is evidence that people do not have good/enough reasons to want to fly bigger ships. Some of this has to do with the speed; people don't like spending so much longer in warp/warping compared to smaller ships. Some of this has to do with them not bringing enough to the table for the added cost/tedium. There are a few ideas I have kicking around in my head such as a "secondary-stat" buff for BS (scan res, sensor strength, cargo capacity) which are basically quality of life improvements. But balance is not done in a vacuum, and restoring a healthy "food pyramid" of ships would go a long way to giving BS more reasons to be used. Thus why I spend a lot of time flying, and encouraging others to fly BCs and BS, so people see what they can do, so that they get used more, and then have more similar sized targets out there (rinse repeat).
(3) Right now the game does not do a good job of explaining how actual pvp works in the tutorials/NPE. We rely heavily on a player joining the right "newbro" corp that will teach them what they need to know. There are plenty of resources out there these days for new players, but it all relies on them finding these external sources. I want to see a lot of the wisdom out there put in front of new players right off the bat so we can retain as many as possible. Examples? Including basic pvp fittings in the "corp fittings" of the starter NPC corps so they have something to work off of. Making starter/lvl 1 missions more like burner missions/actual pvp; less farming and more intense 1v1 scenarios that force new players to learn mechanics.

Very good and thoughtful answers...... particularly the nonsense that is bigger ships having less electronic capability...... Although I will continue following your campaign, I think there's a good chance youll get my vote. |

Sorry man, but no you would make an ill CSM. You are too quick to anger and I fear would only attempt to serve your own narrow interests.

Understandable, and expected since that is the way for you to get a sense of where my head is on the issues. However, I have to say that the CSM in many ways isn't about CCP saying, "hey guys, this needs fixing, fix it", but rather "we were thinking this, what do you think".
I think that T3ds really put AFs in a terrible place, since before their introduction, AFs were pretty cost effective for what they did. Many would like to just see buffs to AFs, but I don't think letting the power creep train run in terms of increasing DPS/Tank stats is the way to go. You see this similar dynamic between HACs (except the ishtar, but that has been fixed mostly) and T3 Cruisers. The introduction of T3s really made HACs not as viable by comparison, but not bad before.
A big part of the solution will be toning T3Ds down (to more of the hecate's level of power), among other nerfs, which I believe CCP is working on with a focus group. Apart from that, we've seen a lot of willingness from CCP in coming up with unique roles and role bonuses: Intys are interdiction immune, BCs got projection bonuses. Right now AFs have: 50% reduction in MWD sig radius penalty, which honestly isnt that great. Perhaps replacing this with an EWAR resistance bonus (something CCP has mentioned is possible soon), could be cool since it would let AFs be good against all the new navy ewar frigs and EAFs.
Still highly dependent on how much T3Ds get nerfed though.
