POPULARITY
https://forums.eveonline.com/t/kazanir-for-csm19-on-de-blocification/463213 The following text is quoted from a player on one of a few PvP-focused EVE Discords which I lurk in, which I think summarizes the feelings of a wide slice of EVE's playerbase: "Fisk Hrin Hakuli: I think what most of this server actually wants, is a null that isn't held largely by 3 groups - most of us think that the fact that PH holds the insane amount of regions that they do is incredibly bad for the game, and not just for us, but for the null holders that want to go and PvP. It also essentially blocks smaller groups from being independently living in null, especially close to these big null holders. I personally think that a lot of the issues that we complain about would also be fixed, and it would generally be much healthier for null, which is why there is such a big uproar over skyhook changes and ansi changes - we thought that if we interacted with the skyhooks in the gangs we normally play in, along with the ansi nerfs that were introduced at the start of equinox would be enough for the big players to give up a decent amount of sov for other groups to step in and use that space to a much greater degree than they were. I'm saying this all to say, does CCP and the CSM agree at all with us? Do you guys think that the current state of null is where you want it, or do you want much more medium sized independent alliances holding sov and using it actively? Because that's all I think most people on this server want, at the end of the day." For two years I have been on a long campaign to try to illustrate the needed mechanics which would support the goals in the above quote – largely focused on the much maligned “passive income” that EVE's original map game was built on. This may sound odd, as I principally represent one of the large blocs: full of krab power, the Imperium is not the group that requires this type of gameplay to be available. But it is true, and consistent with Goonswarm's policy dating back at least 15 years: we are not here to ruin THE game – only YOUR game. And I really want THE game to last for another few decades, without suffering from the cycle of stagnancy that has always afflicted it. The mechanics required to actually achieve this, though, are counterintuitive at best, and we aren't there yet. But the launch of the Equinox expansion has provided a framework where this is actually possible in nullsec – where before, it simply was not. Why? Well, before Equinox, there was essentially no map – with the exception of truesec, any given nullsec system was essentially the same as any other. In this environment, it is impossible to provide real rewards simply for conquering a star system – there's no way of deciding how much reward any given system should be worth! This is also the exact same reason why Dominion-era ihubs could simply install any upgrade – there was no way to limit them or decide “how much” any given system could do. Whoops. Equinox fixes this, by providing a matrix of resources upon which sov nullsec operates. Many mistakes have been made along the way, but this ultimately should be everyone's goal: If Equinox can also support a full-on Conqueror playstyle over time, it will force open a path by which the big blocs can be meaningfully threatened, made to suffer for ignoring their borders, and their best PvPers even baited into striking out on their own, and subsequently rewarded for doing it...

https://forums.eveonline.com/t/frippyy-for-csm-19-nullsec-pvp-pve/462949 Hello I'm Frippyy, I'm a member of Karma fleet and Goonswarm and I'm a resident of nullsec. I am running as an individual candidate and my vision for my campaign is of improvement and forward thinking for EVE's progress as the amazing game we all love. I believe I would be a suitable candidate for CSM19 as I am eager to maintain the quality of EVE and its community by listening to and spreading the voices of the players so that YOU can have your voice heard! I started playing this game in march of 2024 and I have been entranced by it ever since, the community of this game is unlike anything I've ever seen before and the relationship of corpmates and within alliances are akin to family and I want this legacy to continue! I am aware that as a new player I am at a disadvantage, however I am passionate about EVE and can still be of use to the CSM as a fresh set of eyes on the game and new ideas. If nominated as a member I would do all I could to progress and improve the experience of all players new and old by spreading the voice of the player base and making sure that progress can continue in Nullsec's development as an almost living body. I won't solely focus on Nullsec as new players aren't there, so below you will find a few of my ideas on how Highsec can be tweaked for a smoother new player introduction. From what I've seen In EVE, community means everything to a lot of players which is why I would put the community's wants and needs first and do everything I can to help and support all. The areas I would focus on, including but not limited to: Keep the PvP element of Nullsec engaging by improving the PvP combat opportunities within Nullsec by raising the idea of different PvP activities that don't revolve just around the ESS. Provide better and more enticing PvE activities across High, Low and Nullsec that reward players for teamwork or skill that provide a chase worthy prize. This could be new sites or escalations as from talking to fellow corpmates who are avid ratters, myself included, Ishtar spinning and capital escalations can get tedious and provide little to no exciting rewards. Give new and returning players a quick but effective run down on game mechanics and information, as the current tutorial takes a long time and for new players that can be off putting. Also I would discuss starter quests aside from the current ones on certain specifics of gameplay such as how to PvP, fit ships effectively and how to efficiently PvE. Put forth the idea of an ESS rework as i know from talking to many people that they find the current system frustrating at times. I talk to Corp and Alliance members every day and some of the ideas listed above stem from conversations we've had. Saying this I talk to many people about their views on the current state of the game and I want to hear from you too! I accept in game messages, respond to Evemails and Discord dms, so please feel free to reach out and give me your two pence on EVE as I'd love to hear what you think. My discord is: _frippy My ingame name is: Frippyy Feel free to use either to contact me. Thank you for reading my statement and I look forward to the future o/ Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/federationfrontlinereport

Eve Online (stylised EVE Online) is a space-based, persistent world massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by CCP Games. Players of Eve Online can participate in a number of in-game professions and activities, including mining, piracy, manufacturing, trading, exploration, and combat (both player versus environment and player versus player). The game contains a total of 7,800 star systems that can be visited by players. In 2009, a player alliance known as Goonswarm was contacted by a disgruntled director of rival alliance Band of Brothers, one of the largest alliances in the game at that time. The defecting director then stripped Band of Brothers of a large quantity of assets including ships, money and territory, and disbanded the alliance. Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick. If you'd like to support the show on a per episode basis, you can find our Patreon page here. Be sure to check our website for more details.

A massive new war has erupted between Goonswarm and TEST that will draw in a number of alliances too. This is the MAXimum Damage (2008), Fountain War (2013), and WWB (2016) combined, drawing from characteristics of both, but unlike those wars, this one is a fight to the death; an all-out war of annihilation. How did it start? How will it end?
Additional links: There were a lot of ‘big’ stories from EVE that I wanted to do but decided weren’t right for this format. Here’s the Mittani, spymaster for Goonswarm, talking about the downfall of large rival corp Band of Brothers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvwk4QncSG4 Jim Rossigniol’s book Travels In Three Cities has a chapter on the experience of what it’s like to really care about EVE.

The attack was worth about 3.3 trillion ISK in 2017 values and regularly makes ‘biggest events in EVE’ writeups. But it was a little too much like the FomkA story, and is a lot more well-known, so instead I’m sharing a good article about it:https://www.pcgamer.com/murder-incorporated-ten-months-of-deception-for-one-kill-in-eve-online/ The FomkA log:https://pastebin.com/gwtDvBNW Before Phaser Inc, there was the Bank of EVE.
