Summer Summit - Day 1

As some of you might well be unsurprised to hear, just from the topic list for today , this is going to be very light on details. Because a great deal of this will fall under the NDA. I'm hopeful that you'll hear about it all fairly soon, but there's some potentially contentious stuff in […] Read more

CSM X Ballot

I really should post here more. But you know how it is, when you don't have anything in particular to say. Anyhoo, The election is here, and I thought it would be worth name checking a few people who you should consider having on your ballot. Of course, the first person should be me, Steve […] Read more

CREST market data

This has been out for a while, but I've now got something public ( https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/market/viewer2/ ) out there, I thought I'd write some words. Of all the things which have happened in my CSM term, the availability of 'live' market data is one of the ones I'm happiest about. It might not seem like a […] Read more

Why medical clone costs needed to go.

The short version: It was a mechanic which discouraged people from actually flying ships. That is, discouraged them from playing the game. The longer version: While clone costs aren't really high, until you start getting into the really high levels of SP, they form a mental block for people. 'You're flying a Rifter. Your Pod […] Read more

Eve Vegas

I know I've been light on posting. Sorry about that, I've just not had much to talk about that I can talk about publicly. At least, not that hasn't been covered in detail by other people. Sugar Kyle has been great at this. Lots of writing. :) However, I've been poked by people that think […] Read more

Finally, a CSM post

I kept meaning to write something, but there was always something new coming up. Or I was recovering from the night before. Well, here it is. Thank you, to everyone that voted for me, and showed some faith in the system. I'll try not to let you down. From the chat's I've had with the […] Read more

CSM 9 voting list

The Election is almost on us, and that means suggested voting lists. As you can't just put me 14 times, I have a number of suggested candidates. Other than myself, I'm not really suggesting any particular order (me first!). Pick people that are appropriate for your play style, or where you live. If you're an […] Read more

CSM - NPC Corporations

I've had someone asking me about my feelings about NPC corporations, on Twitter, and while I answered him, I thought I'd give a fuller answer here. NPC corporations are fine. But there should always be an advantage of not being in one. Also, you shouldn't be able to use one to avoid consequences. So, let's […] Read more

Retooling Industry in EVE. Blue Sky

Industry in EVE needs work. It's not been touched, save for the addition of new things to make, in quite a while. When people talk about it, they tend to talk about things like changes to the UI, to make it simpler to put in jobs in batches, or adding a queue. What I'm going […] Read more

CSM 'Manifesto'

The use of the word Manifesto is perhaps a trifle misleading, from how many people think of the word. There will be no promises of action, no 'If you vote for me, you'll get this' statements. The use is, however, correct. The CSM exists as a lobbying body, and as a feedback loop for CCP. […] Read more
