07 Candidate!
First, thank you for your time and effort (both present and future) in representing the capsuleers of New Eden! TheyGÇÖre much appreciated.
IGÇÖm preparing to cast my vote in the CSM12 elections. After reading the information you submitted, though, I still have a question.
By way of background, I started in Eve as a hauler, moving freight in T1 industrials and gradually working my way up in both ships and cargo. However, I repeatedly found my progress impeded by gankers who would destroy my ship and steal my cargo. In low- and null-sec space, thatGÇÖs to be expected. You place your bet and take your chances. In high-sec space, however, this is very frustrating. Why have high-sec space at all then? This frustration drove me into anti-ganking, and IGÇÖve been a proud member of Thomas en Chasteaux's High-Sec Militia for several months now.
So, my question. Where do you stand on high-sec ganking? IGÇÖll concede that ganking is a legitimate style of game play, as CCP has ruled. But I also feel that it should be difficult and dangerous (for the ganker) in the 30% of New Eden designated as high-sec space. In particular, IGÇÖd like to see CCP tweak the game mechanics so that the criminal flag generated by looting a ganked freighter in high-sec space follows all players who handle that loot, and otherwise make looting more realistic. (Thomas en Chasteaux's ideas, not mine.)
As a member of the CSM, would you present such an idea to CCP? Would you push for its adoption? What other game changes might you consider to make high-sec ganking more difficult and less profitable?
Regards, Cochise Chiricahua. |

For the first few months of playing EVE Online, all I did was mine. I rarely communicated, didn't try to learn new aspects of the game or explore possibilities for the future, and eventually, CODE. came along and blew up my new Mackinaw. For a lot of players this is breaking point, but for me it was a turning point. I still credit that gank as the single most important turning point for my EVE experience as it broke me from the grinding of mining to actually go out and see what the greater game had to offer.
Now I use ganking as my main source of income, and generally target haulers and small ships carrying way too much loot near the trade hubs to keep my fun going. It's a playstyle that I love even though I know so many hate it.

Personally I've always disliked that trick of looting using fleet hangars, though I expect making that change wouldn't be addressed by CCP unless there were a larger overarching rework being done to crimewatch as it's kind of a small issue that's part of a niche gameplay, and would require a look both at crimewatch and looting mechanics. I'm pretty sure that the current CSM has already made CCP aware of this issue after the ganking roundtables last Fall.
Cochise Chiricahua wrote:What other game changes might you consider to make high-sec ganking more difficult and less profitable?
I will direct you to the idea I shared with Dracvlad when he asked me a couple of weeks ago:
Quote:To be honest I donGÇÖt have a lot of meat for the subject of ganking in part because IGÇÖm trying to balance what gankers think ganking should be, what anti-gankers think it should be, and what I think CCP wants it to be. IGÇÖve been toying with the idea of changing the way that CONCORD works, that instead of nuking a criminal after eventually arriving on scene, that they would simply apply significant damage reduction to that criminal. Eventually faction police would arrive and slowly tear them apart, but it could provide anti-ganking players with more ability to meaningfully interfere with ganks as it would take significantly longer to kill someone under the damage reduction. It could also lead to more freedom for gankers to use different ships than just max DPS gallente blaster boats or stealth bombers. The biggest downside to this would be that I think it would make ganking more prevalent in general because well tanked, larger hulls would be able to terrorize players outside of largely populated space. My thoughts here are still a work in progress but IGÇÖve been reaching out to gankers, and soon anti-gankers for their opinions on the subject to hopefully build up some better ideas.
Again, this was just a rough idea I tossed out to give you an idea of where I'm coming from. I would like to see more opportunities for interaction with gankers without significantly breaking our playstyle. If you have any suggestions or thoughts I would be happy to hear them.
Also if I could be unbanned from Anti-Ganking so I could come talk in there about stuff like this I would appreciate that as well...
Thanks for the question,
Toxic

I suggest a temporary ban from the server for 2 hours for killing a neutral in high sec and after that double the ban up to 1 day of a ban. Or maybe kind of mute button when you can't say **** in local but this way you can't use your weapons. And I suggest griefing report system for ******* gate campers in high sec. Especially near trade hubs. I suggest CCP start doing something against ******* gate campers. I swear to god if Goon swarm or PL complains CCP will listen but if a regular shmuck like me complains CCP does not give a ****. Introduce a ******* griefing system for a ******* gate campers who are killing everyone who is neutral. And don't ******* tell me that this is eve you die in eve. ************, you were newb too and you can't ******* avoid certain systems because the route will become too long. I can't ******* fly jump freighter or freighter. But what I suggest is simply neutralize ******* from killing neutrals. Especially in high sec. Only in high sec/ near trade hubs. Don't care about low sec
Dear CCP do not disregard my suggestion. And if you can deliver my suggestion to CCP dev I will vote for you. |

I would like to take the time to talk with you about our Lord and Savior, Toxic Yaken. While the unwashed heathens of New Eden are busy worshiping false gods and elevating false prophets, the one true God in all his splendor takes the time to read everyday complaints and grievances such as yours. Oh sinner I urge you to repent of your evil ways and learn to love our Lord, as He has always loved you.
A vote for Toxic Yaken is a vote for the Lord or Lords to enlighten us all! Now go! Share the good news, brother!
1 Peter 5:7 GÇ£Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.GÇ¥

I'm pretty sure this is bait but I like bait so I will take it anyways. CCP recognizes ganking as one of the two main pillars of Highsec PVP, and I will personally not support any proposals to remove it. Changing crimewatch to have compounding bans for criminally flagged pilots will pretty much kill ganking or force players into ganking on Alphas, and would likely have a way more negative impact on FW and Lowsec banning anyone who goes criminal there. Making this mechanic work only in Highsec would require an even bigger pass at Crimewatch mechanics to either create a new flag or differentiate between regional criminal tags, all to create something that CCP doesn't agree with in the first place.
If you have thoughts to make ganking more interactive through I'd be happy to hear them. I know there are a lot of players who feel strongly about ganking and I'm not trying to discourage those players from reaching out about it, but I will try to be critical of proposals to changes with Highsec PVP mechanics because of the ways in which players will inevitably use and abuse them.
Either way, I hope you can find someone to vote for that best represents your opinions.

With voting for CSM XII now closed, I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who took the time to read my platform and considered me for a spot on their ballot. I remain hopeful that between the support I've seen for myself and the rest of the Highsec Ticket, we will see a representative elected for Highsec to this year's CSM. If not, you can expect to see me again next year, working to build up the next Highsec Ticket. Looking forward to seeing the results at Fanfest in a couple weeks.
Thanks again. o7
