[ 2016.05.16 14:38:01 ] EVE System > Channel MOTD: Welcome to the 7th Applied Public, recruitment and public channel of the 7th Applied Theory Division feel free to ask around, or just have a nice chat.
[ 2016.05.16 14:53:17 ] Toxic Yaken > o/
[ 2016.05.16 14:53:28 ] Roher Estidal > Morning!
[ 2016.05.16 14:53:49 ] serious sam Uitra > o7
[ 2016.05.16 14:53:50 ] Toxic Yaken > Good morning :D
[ 2016.05.16 14:54:08 ] Roher Estidal > How can i help you?
[ 2016.05.16 14:55:12 ] Toxic Yaken > Sadly not applying to your corporation, actually just wanted to chat with either or both of you about some things
[ 2016.05.16 14:55:24 ] Roher Estidal > Alright, let's chat then :)
[ 2016.05.16 14:55:47 ] Toxic Yaken > Alright, well off the bat do you guys know what the CSM is?
[ 2016.05.16 14:56:11 ] serious sam Uitra > Im voting for chance
[ 2016.05.16 14:56:20 ] Roher Estidal > I actually haven't looked into it
[ 2016.05.16 14:56:39 ] Toxic Yaken > Chance?
[ 2016.05.16 14:57:09 ] serious sam Uitra > nvm ^^ whats up
[ 2016.05.16 14:57:43 ] Toxic Yaken > The elections were last month anyways :P
[ 2016.05.16 14:58:14 ] Roher Estidal > I've heard about it, but no idea how it actually works :D
[ 2016.05.16 14:58:59 ] Toxic Yaken > Alright well essentially it's a player elected council that acts as an advisory group for CCP for future developments and gives a voice to the playerbase
[ 2016.05.16 14:59:32 ] Toxic Yaken > And every year they elect 14 candidates to participate
[ 2016.05.16 15:00:04 ] Roher Estidal > Alright
[ 2016.05.16 15:01:19 ] Toxic Yaken > The disappointing thing this year is that the council ended up being extremely nullsec focused
[ 2016.05.16 15:01:38 ] Roher Estidal > That's not really fair towards highsec players then, I suppose
[ 2016.05.16 15:02:42 ] Toxic Yaken > The thing is Highsec historically doesn't show up to vote, and the null blocs do, so more null candidates win
[ 2016.05.16 15:04:12 ] Roher Estidal > I've never voted before, so yeah
[ 2016.05.16 15:04:27 ] Toxic Yaken > A lot of people just don't know about it either, like you :P
[ 2016.05.16 15:05:04 ] Toxic Yaken > CCP doesn't really advertise it well.
[ 2016.05.16 15:06:21 ] Toxic Yaken > But anyways, I ran this year as a Highsec candidate and failed, but I'm starting a little project to talk with Highsec players/groups about their thoughts on Highsec and if there are any changes they would like to see
[ 2016.05.16 15:07:02 ] Roher Estidal > So you're making early preparations for the next CSM?
[ 2016.05.16 15:07:52 ] Toxic Yaken > Very early, but I'm also hoping that this can help out current CSM guys get a better opinion of Highsec interests, since most are null guys
[ 2016.05.16 15:09:08 ] Roher Estidal > Alright, sounds fair enough. What do you need from us? :D
[ 2016.05.16 15:10:08 ] Toxic Yaken > Well I guess just a few questions :D Also if you don't mind the conversation would be added to the blog I'm putting this together for - http://unalignedproject.blogspot.ca
[ 2016.05.16 15:10:25 ] Roher Estidal > No I don't mind at all
[ 2016.05.16 15:10:32 ] Toxic Yaken > Cool :D
[ 2016.05.16 15:11:41 ] Toxic Yaken > So I guess I'll start off the discussion with my favourite subject, what do you think of wardecs?
[ 2016.05.16 15:12:58 ] Roher Estidal > As a ceo, pretty scared of em. But do you mean the system or the wardecs themselves?
[ 2016.05.16 15:13:24 ] Toxic Yaken > The system, sorry :P
[ 2016.05.16 15:13:44 ] Toxic Yaken > But also, why are you scared of them?
[ 2016.05.16 15:14:16 ] Roher Estidal > Well we're a pretty tiny corporation. With mainly industry as our center of attention, we aren't fond of wars
[ 2016.05.16 15:16:42 ] Roher Estidal > But the wardecs system itself, I've never used it. I'm aware corps have to keep paying for a war to continue, so I'm pretty alright with how the system works.
[ 2016.05.16 15:19:46 ] Toxic Yaken > Alright well let me ask you this then, what is the general response of your corporation when these wars come through?
[ 2016.05.16 15:21:15 ] Roher Estidal > Honestly, We haven't had a war yet. But my previous experience with industry corporation shows either the majority of the people simply not login untill the war is over, or a mass move to a different system, for however long the war lasts
[ 2016.05.16 15:23:57 ] Toxic Yaken > The one Highsec CSM rep on the council suggested a while ago that wars could be reworked so that there would be an objective that could be destroyed by the defenders to end the war - do you think something like that might encourage you guys to try
[ 2016.05.16 15:24:05 ] Toxic Yaken > to engage your attackers?
[ 2016.05.16 15:26:51 ] Roher Estidal > Hmm
[ 2016.05.16 15:27:57 ] Roher Estidal > I think it my incentivise it yeah, we'd have to get a little more organized and I don't think many of us would risk anything more than a T1 fitted destroyer, maybe cruiser
[ 2016.05.16 15:28:00 ] Roher Estidal > But yeah it might help
[ 2016.05.16 15:33:19 ] Toxic Yaken > Ok, let's move on to something you'll be a bit more expereienced with. What do you think about mining?
[ 2016.05.16 15:34:13 ] Roher Estidal > Wow eh. how to answer that. Mining fleets are pretty fun if people are on comms, but it requires alot of people to be profitable
[ 2016.05.16 15:34:25 ] Roher Estidal > On your own, I don't see how it could become profitable really
[ 2016.05.16 15:34:43 ] Toxic Yaken > < Mined solo for first 4 months
[ 2016.05.16 15:34:48 ] Roher Estidal > Unless ofcourse, you're wormhole mining. but that's alot more risky
[ 2016.05.16 15:34:55 ] Roher Estidal > you could be*
[ 2016.05.16 15:36:18 ] Roher Estidal > You mined solo? Highsec? For four months? How was that then?
[ 2016.05.16 15:37:49 ] Toxic Yaken > I loved it. But I felt like I had no real direction
[ 2016.05.16 15:38:42 ] Roher Estidal > Interesting, I don't hear that alot. But alright, fair enough
[ 2016.05.16 15:38:42 ] serious sam Uitra > i think thats why ccp have troubble holding on to new players
[ 2016.05.16 15:39:22 ] Toxic Yaken > Having no real direction?
[ 2016.05.16 15:39:28 ] serious sam Uitra > Yeah
[ 2016.05.16 15:39:29 ] Roher Estidal > Yes
[ 2016.05.16 15:39:43 ] serious sam Uitra > finding your way in eve as a new player is pretty overwhelming
[ 2016.05.16 15:40:00 ] Roher Estidal > EVe is so massive when you first join, if you don't come here to join karmafleet or horde, it's hard to find a purpose
[ 2016.05.16 15:44:53 ] Toxic Yaken > EVE pretty much demands that you need to know how to find your own fun or join a group that can provide it
[ 2016.05.16 15:46:20 ] Toxic Yaken > You guys have any thoughts on ways to improve the experience for new players who don't really know what they want to do or how to do it?
[ 2016.05.16 15:48:15 ] serious sam Uitra > i think a more in depth mission system and pve activity system would go along way, you cant really do much with mining, because hey mining is just, mining :P
[ 2016.05.16 15:48:25 ] Roher Estidal > Make the recruitment tab for the corporation more ready available, give them better overview of the roads they can take as a player. Besides aura who isn't really helpful, the GUI in eve is overpowering
[ 2016.05.16 15:49:56 ] Roher Estidal > readily*
[ 2016.05.16 15:50:16 ] Toxic Yaken > Have either of you had any experience with the opportunities system?
[ 2016.05.16 15:50:52 ] Roher Estidal > Yep. Pretty shit, they're mostly in the way for the experienced player, and not really helpful if I would be a newbie.
[ 2016.05.16 15:51:12 ] Roher Estidal > I mean, it works
[ 2016.05.16 15:51:27 ] Roher Estidal > But I'm not sure if it's immediately clear what they're for when you're new
[ 2016.05.16 15:51:29 ] serious sam Uitra > personally i think its wank
[ 2016.05.16 15:53:24 ] Toxic Yaken > btw agreed on the missions needing improvements, and there is a new PvE rework slated for 2017 I believe
[ 2016.05.16 15:53:48 ] Roher Estidal > Well we're barely through 2016. But alright good that they're working on it
[ 2016.05.16 15:54:18 ] Toxic Yaken > Big reworks take a long time sadly
[ 2016.05.16 15:54:32 ] Roher Estidal > As a webdev myself, I know that all too well :P
[ 2016.05.16 15:56:51 ] Toxic Yaken > Well I had more thing I wanted to chat about but I've got to head of to work now :/
[ 2016.05.16 15:57:04 ] Roher Estidal > Ah, alright. Feel free to drop in again later!
[ 2016.05.16 15:57:21 ] Toxic Yaken > Should be on round the same time tomorrow :D
[ 2016.05.16 15:57:36 ] Roher Estidal > Good!
[ 2016.05.16 15:57:54 ] Toxic Yaken > And thanks for both of your time, if you guys have anything to add you can drop me a mail :D
[ 2016.05.16 15:58:00 ] Roher Estidal > sure thing

[ 2016.05.21 13:28:20 ] Roher Estidal > I know the feeling :D
[ 2016.05.21 13:28:45 ] Toxic Yaken > You mind if I finish up my barrage of questions for you today? :P
[ 2016.05.21 13:29:16 ] Roher Estidal > no go ahead
[ 2016.05.21 13:29:31 ] Toxic Yaken > great :D
[ 2016.05.21 13:29:47 ] Toxic Yaken > Have you heard about the new plans to add dailies to the game?
[ 2016.05.21 13:30:06 ] Roher Estidal > Yep
[ 2016.05.21 13:30:19 ] Toxic Yaken > What do you think about that?
[ 2016.05.21 13:30:23 ] Roher Estidal > Pretty enthusiastic about it, heard alot of negativity for it aswell though
[ 2016.05.21 13:31:00 ] Toxic Yaken > I'm pretty pleased with the choice myself, cool
[ 2016.05.21 13:32:20 ] Toxic Yaken > Do you follow any eve news/groups outside of game? (reddit, twitter, tweetfleet slack, evenews 24, CZ, TMC?)
[ 2016.05.21 13:32:40 ] Roher Estidal > EVE reddit, mainly
[ 2016.05.21 13:32:46 ] Roher Estidal > Not in tweetfleet slack sadly
[ 2016.05.21 13:32:51 ] Roher Estidal > Twitter I follow a few devs
[ 2016.05.21 13:33:31 ] Toxic Yaken > The slack is just a matter of mailing the guy who runs it and you normally get an invite within 24hrs btw :D
[ 2016.05.21 13:33:46 ] Roher Estidal > Alright I'll try that
[ 2016.05.21 13:34:32 ] Toxic Yaken > Ok now a more personal question - so why live in Highsec?
[ 2016.05.21 13:34:49 ] Roher Estidal > It's the only space I have real experience with
[ 2016.05.21 13:35:03 ] Roher Estidal > But we're planning on setting up shop in wh space actualy
[ 2016.05.21 13:35:12 ] Roher Estidal > With ofcourse a highsec base aswell
[ 2016.05.21 13:35:52 ] Toxic Yaken > Ah ok, so hopefully jumping off point for the future
[ 2016.05.21 13:36:46 ] Roher Estidal > Yep
[ 2016.05.21 13:36:54 ] Roher Estidal > Still gonna keep mining fleets going for newer members
[ 2016.05.21 13:41:37 ] Toxic Yaken > So is there any reason(s) you have spent so much of your time in eve in Highsec?
[ 2016.05.21 13:42:11 ] Roher Estidal > It's often less hostile initially, and I enjoy running missions
[ 2016.05.21 13:43:36 ] Toxic Yaken > fair enough, have you ever tried Incursions?
[ 2016.05.21 13:45:58 ] Roher Estidal > Yep
[ 2016.05.21 13:46:02 ] Roher Estidal > never got into those
[ 2016.05.21 13:46:07 ] Roher Estidal > Tried that just before I quit due to school
[ 2016.05.21 13:48:28 ] Toxic Yaken > Final question!
[ 2016.05.21 13:50:28 ] Toxic Yaken > What enticed you to play EVE in the first place?
[ 2016.05.21 13:53:25 ] Roher Estidal > The simply amazing look of ships, the trailers that made me enthusiastic and.. the idea of endless possibilities
[ 2016.05.21 13:54:56 ] Toxic Yaken > And was there any sort of career path or interest you wanted to persue? Or were you just open to everything?
[ 2016.05.21 13:55:19 ] Roher Estidal > open to it all, which is why we are going into wormholes now
[ 2016.05.21 13:56:02 ] Toxic Yaken > :))
[ 2016.05.21 13:56:13 ] Toxic Yaken > Alright man, think thats about all Ive got
[ 2016.05.21 13:56:18 ] Roher Estidal > :D great
[ 2016.05.21 13:57:08 ] Toxic Yaken > I'll send you a link to the page when I put it up on my blog in case theres anything you see wrong with it, but again thanks for all your time :)
[ 2016.05.21 13:57:30 ] Roher Estidal > Alright, sounds good!
[ 2016.05.21 13:58:49 ] Toxic Yaken > and good luck on your WH adventures! :D
