Great work CSM 6! Continue to do your best to get more devs actually assigned to eve core game play.

In general, the CSM is all in agreement that the *critical* issue right now is balance (especially supercaps, but including all ships), and we would like to see that fixed ASAP.
I agree with everything you said except this part. CCP already said they will nerf supercaps. I don't see ship balance as anything close to critical anymore. Tweaking ship stats is hardly important to me.
For me in low sec and FW are much more important. For the players as a whole there are too many things to mention that need work. So make sure you stay focused on getting more devs assigned to real eve and not side tracked to particular issues.
For example I saw they were going to try to get a mechanic in null sec where people can fly smaller ships. Well they already have that mechanic in eve, but it remains broken and abandonned. Faction War plexxing is a mechanic that if it was fixed correctly would allow players to fly all sorts of small ships in very small groups and be effective for a larger end. Its all set and ready to go it just needs some fixing. This would be much more important to me than tweaking ship stats.
I don't want this to turn into what particular issue should be taken up first or what is more important. The important thing is to focus on getting more devs working on real eve so *everyone* can look forward to fixes that are long overdue.
I'm sure you guys on csm agree. I just wanted to post to make sure you guys keep focused. Good work so far, and good luck at your meeting.

At least they are telling us that stuff is happening. I find it irritating when stuff happens and we hear nothing from CCP or CSM. Hopefully we'll see more messaging from CSM and CCP in the future. Where messaging basically means "telegraphing our activities" without necessarily "narrating our activities". People who engage in hand-to-hand combat such as boxing, Karate or Tae Kwon Do will understand the difference between "telegraphing" and "narrating". It's the same principle as using your indicators when driving a car: you're not actually telling people where you're going, just that you're turning left. So while "we're having a meeting" might not mean much in the grand scheme of things, it is a start. Yes...they are telling you they are having meetings. They could tell you they are having ice cream sandwiches on the moon, too. And you have to believe them because...hey...NDA. But I'm sure CCP will vouch for their honesty.  CSM trolls forum-dwellers. 6/10
Well the nice part here is we are actually dealing with numbers. How many devs are currently assigned to real eve? How many will be assigned when? These are the questions that need answers.
If CSM comes back with anything other than these numbers this is a waste.
Because if they come back saying "Yay CCP will fix problem X in real eve" and its not clear they are fixing it with new developers, then chances are, they just pulled developers from problem Y in real eve. In other words overall nothing will really change for eve.
That is why this needs to focus on *how many developers* and not specific issues.

I really think they will slam headlong into the NDA here.
Well CCP made a dev blog with many of the numbers in july 2010. If they are not willing to tell us now we can figure out the truth.
Again unless we hear they assigning devs to eve only an idiot will think they are developing it. If we do not hear how devs are assigned, then any talk about some fix or balance will just mean they stopped working on some other part of eve. Net gain will still be zero.

Trying to read through this thread, I can't tell if you met with Zulu for the follow up meeting or not.
If you do meet with him and he tells you how many new devs will be assigned to FIS please post it in a new thread. I would be interested in the numbers of devs assigned to the different aspects. He posted some numbers in 7/2010 and we can see how the game became stagnant. I want to see how these numbers changed or when they are going to change.
If you meet with him and he won't give you the specific numbers devs of assigned to each aspect of FIS (or tells you but you are supposed to keep it a secret from the players, via nds) then don't bother.
If we can't hear how many new devs are going to be assigned to FIS then we can safely assume eve will continue to stagnate.

The follow up meeting will be sometime this week, we haven't set a date/time yet. The numbers haven't changed all that much from his past dev blog, which is the main reason we have been going to the media and met with Zulu.
Thanks for the response. I did see this came up in the minutes from your first summit. It didn't take allot of space in the minutes, but I am glad CSM6 recognizes it as crucial.
Thanks for your continued efforts on this.

If he said "30 extra developers working full time on FiS from December 1st" is there some way in which you can check this really happened in a reliable way ?
I don't think CCP has been dishonest in the past. If they say they are assigning these devs to these activities I will believe it.
I believed Zulu's blog in July 2010. I believed them when they said they wouldn't be able to work on much in eve for 18 months. It disgusts me that they are neglecting eve, but I can't say they were dishonest about it. In fact they have been brutally honest.
In any event, the csm would certainly be able to tell when they meet with ccp.
