So CCP finally got around to posting the CSM minutes from the September meeting. They claim that they won’t allow such a delay again. We’ll see… as for now, a few interesting bits from my reading:
- The CSM members know that CCP hasn’t used them as much as they should (or even as much as they said they would). CCP agrees. We’ll see.
- Incarna has had some problems because DX10 and Vista suffered epic fail. But it will include machinima tools!
- The GMs suck. CCP says they’ve gotten better. The CSM thinks they suck anyway.
- CCP thinks starbase management doesn’t need a revisit, not because it doesn’t suck (it does), but because the sovereignty system will change in Dominion. But later they claim they’ll refactor them, so confusion still reigns. (My view: starbase management still needs work, since lots of other people use them, too).
- S&I got left on the back burner because pew pew seemed more fun. Hand slapping ensued. Some things, like a Blueprint Manager, might come our way soon.
- Alliances might get to join FW by forgoing sovereignty rights. (Not a bad compromise if implemented that way.) FW plexes and NPCs suck, and they know it.
- Gallente and Minmatar EWAR options suck and maybe someday CCP will even care. But who knows when…
- Capital ship docking won’t happen due to how session changes work.
- Did you know that T3 subsystems started out as crews in the design phase?
- Insurance (including T2, T3, and suicide) will get a look.
- Fonts should improve soon. (I hope they get larger for us folks with not-so-great eyes!)
- CCP has a low sec revamp in the concept stage.
