I know it's an unpopular position with some, but I'd really like to see local chat be tied into Alliance Intel Tools somehow. I actually think there should be more information available to a sovereign entity than just looking at a number in local.

I don't agree with you on a couple of issues.
1. Tracking titans needs to be gone - One tracking titan shouldn't be able to kill off 70 - 80 subcaps and the subcaps can't do a thing about it. A group of them with minimal support can take out a whole fleet of hundreds of subcaps.. it happens more or less every day. Just look at the fights where the CCPs fleet got wiped out along with hundreds of other subcaps in matter of minuts as soon as PL and NCdot got on grid with titans and supercarriers.
2. Destructible stations - I like the idea.. BUT.. with some alliance being able to field 160 titans plus 250 supercarriers its very clear how this is going to end. There is no alliances today that can fight that kind of power and save their station. This is going to end up with PL running around and kill every station they can find... you know that this will happen.. be honest.
3. Supercaps overall - I want them gone from combat roles all together.. the ship class is broken. I know this will upset a lot of vets.. but instead CCP should add more capital ship classes and redefine the role of the supercaps.. i would like to see a mothership that can act as a mobile station to launch attacks from. Maybe turning the titan into a giant command ship while still keeping the bridge ability. Removing them from their combat roles would open up for the big capital fights again.. i havent seen them my self but older players always talk about how they used to love those fights and that they miss them. I like the idea about the big ship.. i do.. but sorry.. its not gonna work.. we have seen this very clearly.. one faction will go mental and do what ever it takes to get as many as they can get.. *cough* PL *cough*
Overall i think your one of the better CSM tho :) and stand up against that damn goon.. and don't let him take all the credits.. |

Personally, I think local should be replaced with a system that gives you more intel, but not as exact or as inmediate as local. As a crazy example, stargates could show a graph of ship jumps in the last hour, color coded for standings/mass/race. Something that takes experience to read accurately.

it's my case, and i can tell you i would really like this functionnality.
currently the solutions when you have a need for 2 skills training on the same account are : 1) don't do it 2) open new account, pay 2 plex to move char, 2 plex to move it back... obviously too expensive 90% of the time.
my char are placed depending on what i need online at the same time, not depending on what i need to train... and we can't have both. it would be an idea for master account...

If anyone could join any of the pirate factions (or non pirate factions) - ie faction warfare; - via an epic arc storyline (or something to allow you to decide to swap factions in spite of a -10 standing) even with out systems to fight over (aka plexing) you would be able to fix more easily if the standings of who you're shooting at affected your own standings, and/or you expanded incursions to have everyone invading everywhere.

I am happy to hear about clones being look at, eve has no reward for the old age eve player, angal is my sub combat toon and soon i will stop training him but my main combat toon is sitting in a ship i only use for them special ops (love em titans) a lot of old age players have simple stop due to this and seeing the only drive in eve is to get more and more new people to join and leave the old guys out in the cold.
now for the myth about tracking titans i will simple leave it as a myth. but have to add something so i will leave a bit of advise if you are in combat against a titan > when you lang on grid move > guns have limited tracking, no amount of tracking mods will change this. |

Regarding the NPC Issue.
Personally I love NPC space the way it is. It makes for very fun small gang pvp action without political crap some of us really don't enjoy.
However I do see the issue with people been able to use these stations as safe havens and places to build caps. With that been said why not just make capital production impossible in npc space. Simply set it that you have to own the space you live in to put up these types of structures and such?
This way sub-cap production companies and moon miners still get their moons in npc space but big corps/alliances/production whores have to own the space they are building this big stuff in and therefore defend it. No safe npc space with safe neutral stations.
In my opinion this also solves the problem of the npc space station's been safe havens for the big fleets. If the targets the fleets are attacking aren't in npc space, they can't dock in npc stations. Simple.
Now if people want to moan about docking games in npc space, move to nullsec. You're not in an empire war because of docking games so don't chose npc space if you don't like them either. |

On the matter of supercarrier docking:
Seleene wrote:Finally, one additional tweak that wasn't mentioned in the minutes - slap a five minute minimum re-dock timer on the ship class. Bring these three options into the game together, and I have no issue with supercarriers docking. Personally, I have no issue with docking supers as a strategic, or long-term option, so you can get your main out that ship and use her for something else. But the tactical consequences of docking supers could become annoying. Station games or jumping your super fleet out of a fight directly into dock range.
So instead of a five minute timer, why not treat docking/undocking as a special "jump"? So, in order to dock, the super has to be 1) not tackled and 2) at 70% cap. And once it undocks, it's at 30% cap.
This lets you park the super for a while. But it doesn't let you use the station to get out of a fight. It could make docking more dangerous than logging off at a POS.

Why should there be???
I'm very curious why there should be. No pod cost (besides implants) would result in more PvP action; thus more actual ships being blown up. One could argue that removing clone upgrades all together would result in an overall ISK sink with the combination of more ships being blown up. It would encourage more younger players to grab a frigate and try PvP (which is great!) and it would open the door back up for veterans with high clone cost to now enjoy slipping back behind the wheel of a frigate and going to do more PvP.

Glad to see this, thanks.
Now...
Wormholes are working fine. We don't need a wormhole stabilizer, or stretcher or washer and dryer! Want more massive battles in W-space?
Make self-destructing ships inside POS shields impossible.
That is all it would take.
But I would like to point out, in wormholes now (as it stands) invasion (with the intent of kicking out the other party) means that the other people lose everything (either through self destruction or theft/pillage/plundering). This is pretty much the only space in Eve like that (Stations cant be destroyed - so you can *always* firesale your stuff - and almost be assured of a sale). Give us "no self-destructs w/in Pos Shields" and I can just about guarantee more invasions...
But please - WH fortress systems are that way because the players *make* them that way, and while difficult to invade, it is not impossible.
Like to hear how you feel about W-Space and the things that make us different than anyplace else in Eve.
Thanks

2.) Why does the CSM agree with / push for aliances to be able to join FW?
3.) Why does the CSM try to fatten their own coffers by trying to implement an isk fountain for "FW leaders", a mechanic that would be mechanically abused by 0.0 entities without any real chance for retaliation?

Its just not true in sov space - but the sov based CSM candidates are demanding "normalization" and ways of "striking back". No, **** them. If they want friendly people in NPC stations nearby then go wage war in the way that space was designed for.

my personal opinion on certain subjects discussed:
NPC reworking: yes yes and yes, i too find it absurd that ratting in npc against the very faction your docking at is massively confusing. RP wise theres a quick fix to sort out the confusion and thats to change the owners of those stations to intermediataries of those factions and not the factions themselves. RP wise these factions dont NEED stations, the stations are there to allow the communication and interaction between capsuleers. the stations dont need to be held by the faction but could be held by NPC corperations either within the faction or go-between corps/alliances like Interbus or even Sisters of Eve.
Then the possibility of docking up in these stations in 0.0 NPC space would be controlled by the standings to these Entities instead.
Supercap Balancing: cut the bullshit with the bullshit EWAR frigs being able to effectively ECM or affect Supercaps. its just absurd! thats like saying me and 20 of my mates put together some white noise generators and plugged them into radio transmitters expecting to jam out radio communications on a Nimitz class aircraft carrier from a rowing boat. totally bullshit. Seleene you talked about the rediculousness of rifters being able to lock down Supercaps, and in the meeting minutes was a suggestion that capitals should have a mod that can allow them to tackle and hold down other capitals/supers. WHY oh why just apply this logic to the EWAR immunity issue? Capital EWAR mods should be introduced (cause only capitals have the massive power requirements for electronic warfare of that magnitude) CCP should know that more and more pilots will get to the SP requirements to fly and use supercaps... its just pure logic. but an outright immunity to a particular legitimate form of PVP mechanics should never have been green lit.
Drake nerf: it does do a lot of things better than most battlecruisers. CCP also need to realise that the Drake Army is one of the core fleet paper-scissor-rock types being the natural counter to aHACs. albeit with the new tengu fleets you could say that drake armies have been superseeded by it. Even so, changes to the drake will affect this balance, and cause a resurgence in some form.

Dear Seleene
Regarding your idea of "interactable" NPCs:
This character was born late 2006. I needed ISK, so I was ratting and running missions then. Some time back CCP changed the mix of missions offered to contain more missions against other empire factions, which ****** up your standings realy realy fast if you didn't pay attention. IIRC that was with empyrean age. That was the time I finaly stopped donig missions altogether, because if I hate something it is not being able to go where I want.
And now you come along and want that I can't use 80% of NPC 0.0? And I can't repair that either, because it would destroy standing with other factions? And then, in a year, I find that nice PVP corp I would like to join. Everything looks nice, timezone fits etc. Oh, you live in Syndicate? Ehm, sorry, but I can't dock there...
So, do you suggest I just biomass this 90 mil SP character, start a new one and never, ever, interact with any NPCs? Oh, right, that doesn't work, because I would have no means of repairing my security status.
What you suggest is basically locking me out of 50% of the game. You want to take a lot of choices from me.
Sorry, no, I don't like that.
Or are you looking into forcing players to have even more alt characters than they have by now?

Having to make meaningful choices, often means closing the door on the alternative choices. A player's actions with other players and the game world's NPCs should have consequences. An RPG, MMO or otherwise where there's no meaningful choices and consequences is a pretty boring ****** game.

EVE is a sandbox and I've always been against anything that limits players from doing what they want on a social level; I prefer to offer players options and alternatives that might cause them to WANT to change their behavior. I think that the game would benefit greatly from a formal 'Treaty System' such as the one that was theory-crafted for Apocrypha, cut for Dominion and scrapped all-together in Tyranis. I think that there should be benefits to forming 'coalitions' with other alliances but I also believe that there should be reasons to keep such entities from bloating. Such incentives / penalties / whatever would depend a lot on how artificial you'd want to make the effects of being involved in such a treaty, but it's certainly do-able. I would much prefer something like this than some kind of bizarre limitation made by CONCORD that says, "You can only have 10 blues!"

Wormholes are one of the few things in EVE that I think need more of a scapel than a chainsaw when it comes to surgery / improvements. They are working pretty much as always intended and I take no small amount of pride in that fact. The design team made some very key decisions that have proven to be smart ones over time in how WH space works. Personally, when I hear about players setting up little fortress systems I think, "Good for them!". It's not easy to logistically entrench yourself out there in the darkness of WH space and, as you say, it's difficult to uproot a corp, but not impossible. Some of the best battle reports come out of WH space as well. So, no, I'm not really wanting to see a change made to this dynamic just because, "We need some changes." I'd much rather see the current iteration of WH's evolve. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Well, I addressed what I think earlier in the thread I believe? I think this is being misinterpreted a bit. More accurately, any revision of the null-sec sov system will likely affect a low-sec iteration as well. This ties into a more dynamic relationship with NPCs and all that as well.
The comments about this were never intended to imply that FW is some kind of guinea pigs or whatever for new sov mechanics. That seems to be what people think and I've heard nothing of the sort nor do I think that will be the case at all.
Laerise wrote:2.) Why does the CSM agree with / push for aliances to be able to join FW?
As far as I know, there wasn't any real 'push' to do it. It's always just been more of a hanging question of, "Why aren't alliances allowed into FW?" When we were finally told this would happen, my reaction was, "Cool. It's a bit late though as most of the dedicated RP alliances have faded away. Maybe this will revive them a bit."
I'm not sure why everyone assumes that there are a ton of null sec alliances beating down the door to grief FW players. v0v

The whole thing? No. But I am familiar with Hans and he's a ******* hero for pounding away on this issue and I know that CCP Soundwave has been made aware of it as well. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

The top dudes in the Art Dept are all well aware of the 'Dead Horse' thread and all the other incarnations of this. Doing modular POSs is something that would basically require the entire Art team a full expansion or more to work on. However, there are a lot of things depending on Art right now, including the V3 skinning of all the CURRENT art in the game, new effects work, you name it. Once game design comes up with a plan for how modular POSs might actually be implemented alongside other coming changes, that's when Art will get the green light to start working in earnest. I don't think I'm breaking any NDA by saying, hell yes, they are considering it. It's something I know they'd love to be able to do. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff.

The underwater physics of EVE is also total bullshit but we live with it every day, m8. It's just an idea, and one that really wouldn't affect things beyond actually giving people a reason to at least TRY to fly that ship class. I'm not bothered if it happens or it doesn't, I just don't see it causing a major imbalance of power.
GeeShizzle MacCloud wrote:Seleene you talked about the rediculousness of rifters being able to lock down Supercaps, and in the meeting minutes was a suggestion that capitals should have a mod that can allow them to tackle and hold down other capitals/supers. WHY oh why just apply this logic to the EWAR immunity issue? Capital EWAR mods should be introduced (cause only capitals have the massive power requirements for electronic warfare of that magnitude)
Well, at the moment, supercaps are completely IMMUNE. Doing this by say, giving an Avatar a Radar STR of 1000 would mean theoretically it could be jammed by enough smaller ships. I'm not really opposed to that either.
GeeShizzle MacCloud wrote:CCP should know that more and more pilots will get to the SP requirements to fly and use supercaps... its just pure logic. but an outright immunity to a particular legitimate form of PVP mechanics should never have been green lit.
Back to the Rifter tackling a titan thing - even when I worked at CCP, I proposed that every ship in the game be given a 'propulsion strength' stat similar to the whole Warp Core strength number. Say an Avatar had a Prop Strength of 250; if you can get 250 Rifters, each with a point of scramble on him... he stays put. Kind of like a bunch of mice holding down a lion. Or a whale. Whatever. The point is that I agree that the 'immunity' stuff could be substituted for better, more involving PVP tactics.
GeeShizzle MacCloud wrote:Drake nerf: it does do a lot of things better than most battlecruisers. CCP also need to realise that the Drake Army is one of the core fleet paper-scissor-rock types being the natural counter to aHACs. albeit with the new tengu fleets you could say that drake armies have been superseeded by it. Even so, changes to the drake will affect this balance, and cause a resurgence in some form.
My hatred of Drakes was in that I flew in the Drake Armies so much that now every time I kill a Drake (in my Tengu more often than not), it makes me very happy. I still don't think the Drake needs to be super nerfed, it just needs some tweaking. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. Follow Seleene on Twitter |

Having to make meaningful choices, often means closing the door on the alternative choices. A player's actions with other players and the game world's NPCs should have consequences. An RPG, MMO or otherwise where there's no meaningful choices and consequences is a pretty boring ****** game.
This dude TLDR'd most of what I would have said. But, I'm still going to say a few things!
Remigius Varagine wrote: And now you come along and want that I can't use 80% of NPC 0.0? And I can't repair that either, because it would destroy standing with other factions? And then, in a year, I find that nice PVP corp I would like to join. Everything looks nice, timezone fits etc. Oh, you live in Syndicate? Ehm, sorry, but I can't dock there...
So, do you suggest I just biomass this 90 mil SP character, start a new one and never, ever, interact with any NPCs? Oh, right, that doesn't work, because I would have no means of repairing my security status.
You've just pointed out a couple things that have been making me rage since a lot earlier than 2006. I mean, why the hell is the only way for me to raise my sec status by going out and blapping random NPCs? The reason that Seleene still has a neg sec status today is because way back in 2004, I went on a short bit of piracy before turning merc and the madness of wasting ammo on NPCs (even lasers) did my head in and still does.
Yes, I think there should be increased interaction and opportunity, along with consequences for the choices that you make. However, as with everything from working on a chain gang to religion or whatever metaphor you like, there should be the possibility of atonement. Failing that, I should be able to pay off some dumb Serpentis clerk to clean up my records. So, yeah, I want to bribe NPCs among other things. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff.

Just a quick question, out of curiosity. Totally off topic but v0v
Would you say you have more influence over dev goals as a CSM or as a dev, when you were there. Clearly devs have more control over specifics(duh) but Incarna showed us that devs didn't have alot of control over the game as a whole.
Thanks if you can field this one :) o/`-á Lord, I want to be a gynecologist.. KY, rubber gloves, and a flashlight.-á o/` |
