CCP Goliath is one of the people who worked the hardest to put together the recent Dev Caravan events and now he's written a dev blog about our goals and our experiences which mostly consisted of dying horribly at the hands of people who really know how to play this spaceship game.
Thank you all for the fun and for the schooling.

Very special thanks to those who helped develop the CCP Defense fleet. While the first day was a bit of a fail, I think we made progress in the next few events. Hopefully for any future PvP live event, we can have some system in place to get you guys to truly fight alongside us.
To the people I fought with, thanks!
To the people I was killed by....thanks too :) Had a lot of fun.

I have two very srsbusiness non-trolling (see: uncharacteristic) questions to ask of CCP.
Through your experiences PvPing with each of the races of EVE, have you come to better understand some of the balance issues present currently in EVE, and what are your feelings on said balance issues?
Secondly, were there any moments of enlightenment among those at CCP who are less experienced with PvP about how things like fleet composition and doctrine work?
CCP folks have now all had a chance to get their feet wet with each race, and experience the benefits and drawbacks of each, as well as an opportunity to learn a bit about fleet composition and doctrine, and I'd really like to know what the general feeling of the dev team is regarding game balance after having this experience.
Personally, I'd really like to see more variety in EVE with fleet doctrines. Over the past few years, I have seen PvP turn into mostly an exercise of bringing the EXACT ship or ships that a fleet doctrine is built upon. Part of the outcome of that is positive, in the sense that ships are diverse and some can do certain things decidedly better than others can, but part of that outcome is negative, because it leaves very little variety for the player. I love my Abaddon, but there are/were times where I got pretty sick of looking at it over and over again, because for PvP to work on the ELITE level of PL, fleet doctrines are very reliant on having EVERYBODY in the correct ships. Because there is so much range of performance of tanks and weapon systems between races and even tiers of ships within races, PvP is quickly becoming a very uniformed exercise.
I see in EVE a great attempt at keeping variety and identity between the races, but in practice I see it further stagnating variety by essentially forcing people to use specific ships for specific doctrines, because there is literally nothing else available that can do what the chosen ship for that doctrine can do. While races shouldn't ever become EXACTLY alike, there should be some middle ground somewhere where there is come crossover, so people aren't cornered into flying one specific ship or race of ships for a given fleet doctrine. |

Please, ignore the people who rage about missing this.
Continue to do it. It's unique and something that really can only be done in this game.
The only suggestion I have is that CCP Alliance actually start to function and act as one. Don't stop with simply roaming. Keep at what you're doing and go full force with it.
-Use your sov space
-Grind the isk up to buy your ships
-Build or purchase your ships. You guys need to see how the manufacturing is in EVE.
-Run moon reactions to generate an income.
-Create a reimbursement program and try to find ways to keep CCP alliance floating and it's member base happy.
etc. etc. etc...
Basically, play the game so you can experience our frustrations first hand.

The first fight in Tama was not incursion'd by CCP and guess what happened?
They got dropped by PL supers and titans, and decided to incursion and cyno jam all their future systems where they would be flying.

I did not manage to take part in these events, but CCP playing their game is a really good sign.
I hope you manage to run these events regularly, possibly every weekend, possibly in small gangs instead of a somewhat large fleet.
Keep up the good work!
P.S.: there are rumors about the CCP fleet shooting the pro-CCP player fleet. Is that true? |

All of the events where all out fun.
Thanks to CCP in general for doing this, extra for those taking part of the action, and extra kudos to the poor bastards trying to coordinate it.
And thanks to the naturally backstabbing, coldly calculating, devious spreadsheet mongrels that is known as players of EvE, with an extra thank you to the crew that worked with the crazy ragtag pubbie fleets.
Now, can anyone please give a relevant value of isk/fun so I can update my spreadsheets? ;)

Why should they waste dev time on that? Some of them already play the game in their alliances, leave it at that.
But it's a good thing they're doing these events (and it should be just that, EVENTS), let's hope they continue to do so (and I might finally be there when it happens next time ;) |

Check the killboards, not only did they backstab their supposed defencefleet.
(Not to mention that the non-podding CCP fleet managed to pod Darius III, by mistake, or so they say)
There was also several 'accidents' of blue-on-blue.
Guard!
We still want the video from the Team BFF crisis meeting ...

That would be good, seems like they're playing EVE (scamming, backstabbing and lying), all part of the game. |

Player defense fleets were asked to stay away from the bulk CCP fleet as they had no way to tell who was hostile or not. No actual defense *fleets* were destroyed by CCP, but some stragglers warped in to see what CCP was up to and were instantly locked and shot.

I can see that - with today's patch immediately toning down the Sensor Booster visual effect...
What looks fine on one ship in isolation is a whole different story when a 100+ strong fleet in small pile has sensor boosters on every ship running...

Bummed I missed it (I live in unknown space so it would've been my high sec alt) but that is RL for you. Keep doing these every few weeks. I will get out there to see what fleet warfare is all about. Maybe I can put a cone on a bomber and ram someone! This is the ultimate 'playing the game for fun'. No worries about making isk/hour/minute/sec, no worries about this being perfectly balanced with that, no worries about doing this or that for the alliance, just for or against CCP and go to it.
Kudos.
Would love to see if you could do something in high sec but I don't know what. Would be interesting though.
I may not like you or your point of view but you have a right to voice it. |

Suggestion:
Why not build your fleet around a carrier next time? (still making sure to stay in incursion systems to avoid it instapopped by titans). Have the carrier hold all loot, it will make a more "natural" defense scenario and will provide some little extra for the high sec players that has never battled a carrier before. |

thak you guys for doing this, as to the fleet fight i think you need to bring a bigger blob of ccp staf inc the ceo. (corp would be worth a titan i think)
as to your rules
No podding of players by CCP employees (though they would be encouraged to pod us and make fortunes selling our corpses) - this should not have been put in we can pod you only fair you get to pod us.
No entering Player owned space. - this was a good idea
No faction fits except for ammo. - we could use it so should you guys
Use Incursed systems to enable only sub-capital ships taking part. - good idea
Spread the events both over the map and over the timezones to be as inclusive as possible. - another good idea
Have fun with our players (and not to hold back on the smack talk!) - should always be top of your list in live events

Actually, doing those events in low or null does make sense.
Some people have issues getting into highsec due to their somewhat odd standings toward empire and/or concord.
But nothing stops us highsec pubbies to hit low or null to gave some fun.
Well at least if we can plan for and accept the losses ;)

Indeed CCP Paradox, it was a blast. So was getting alphed the first time by the fleet. Crazy good times.
Although, I've got to ask. How did you get separated from your fleet?

There are things we do every day that annoy the **** out of us such as manufacturing and standings changing, declaring war, setting up POS's... the things we do all the time that are just plain broken. They won't realize how broken they are unless they also use them on a daily basis and experience it first hand. When was the last time you tried applying for an alliance. Or better yet, try setting standings for one. "Can someone link someone from that alliance for me"... or the dreaded "Rankings List".
Not to mention, devs don't "work" 24/7, they have off time where they could "play" EVE in the CCP Alliance to imitate how we play. If they understand how keeping reaction chains alive, fueling many pos's for production and research is a headache for much of EVE, potentially they'll come up with ideas on how to improve iit.
Seriously, if they started to learn how to maintain a wallet, an income, a ship replacement program, recruitment, production to the extent of importing minerals to help field ships and learn why many aspects of null are still so heavily reliant on Jita.
They need to see this stuff first hand in order to really understand how bad so many of the game mechanics and day to day functionality is.

I hope you manage to run these events regularly, possibly every weekend, possibly in small gangs instead of a somewhat large fleet.
Keep up the good work!
P.S.: there are rumors about the CCP fleet shooting the pro-CCP player fleet. Is that true? Player defense fleets were asked to stay away from the bulk CCP fleet as they had no way to tell who was hostile or not. No actual defense *fleets* were destroyed by CCP, but some stragglers warped in to see what CCP was up to and were instantly locked and shot. I JUST WANTED THOSE KILL MAILS!!!!
Time to develop a CCP killboard imo.

flown with the defensive fleet on the Gallente event. Had fun, even survived (ok a interceptor has good chances in case of total fleet destruction). The most important thing, the devs took their spare time (like we) to play a game and found it out to be nice. So you Devs see you made good work, keep it up and do contribute to what we all like most....fighting and flying. and see, the microtransaction part had littele to do with the fun we had these evenings, or? ;) keep enjoy "our" game |
