(Thecla Elarik) How are you guys liking it thusfar? Has cooperation in the CSM and with the CPM and CCP devs been good? Has it been better than you expected? Have the council members found their groove, both individually and as a council?

(Thecla Elarik) Anything you can tell us about the recent network issues, socket closed etc that have plagued the game lately? If not, have you asked CCP to give some sort of statement about it? After 3 or 4 unscheduled downtimes I'm getting worried/concerned/curious.

[19:10:14] Darkness Lighter > question why does CCP hate wormhole dwellers o much? the  change of  grav's to anoms from sites  stabbed miners in the wallet(or other places.

(Roffle Roffle) Gang links have been ruining small gang and solo pvp since forever, and CCP's taking a really long time to fix it - they won't even give an ETA or anything. Everyone seems to want them to be on-grid, but don't seem interested in a more comprehensive rebalancing: they'd still be grossly overpowered if they were merely brought on-grid: a ship that decloaks 300km away and gives the entire fleet a snake set, a halo set and replaces their t2 tackle mods with faction.

(Roffle Roffle) There are things that CCP could be doing right now, like cutting the effectiveness by a decent amount (I'm talking -50% or something) Can't you make them do it?

[19:10:26] Vax Silver > Question: Is the idea of arena based pvp (other than AT) being pursued by CCP?

(Amonjd Nomad) there have been lot of discussion about moon mining - is CCP thinking about revamping this part of game permanently?  Honestly - it is unfair that small corps or small alliances have to work very hard to earn some money and the big ones can only rely on passive moon income. 

(Amonjd Nomad) current ice mining in high sec is killing small business - hasn't CCP gone too far tweaking it that much?
- Ice is required for making fuel and pos is not working without it. With ice product price increase, many high sec poses will have to be taken offline which - after some time - can have negative impact on eve economy.

[19:11:12] Freelancer117 > Question: Poetic Stanzel said: CCP, Once Again, Capitulates To Player Demands on Thursday, June 6, 2013,<br>was there really a threat to riot about moving the undock button to the upper right ?

[19:13:32] Jenessa R > Q: I frequently find myself away from internet due to military commitments. Because I can't que skills longer than 24 hours, I regularly drop my subscription. What if CCP extended the que based on the amount of sub time paid? Good, bad, or impractical?

(Tabane Shinonono) Regarding the feedback on exploration, I'm would like to convey to CCP that they have really made exploration really open to everyone. I do believe that a new character with a bonused frig can now scan down almost all but the hardest sites. Exploration has become really easy.

(Tabane Shinonono) Also with the new patch, Data/Relic sites now yield at least 2-3 times more loot than before due to the ability to cherry pick containers with cargo scanners and knowing which spew can to loot. Driving down prices of the old decryptors. My question to CCP would be if they be monitoring this trend and tweak the loot tables/mechanics?

[19:16:26] pmchem > question for CSM: what is the status of the "Brain in a Box" work?  will we get that in 2013?  Has CSM tested it?  What priority level is that for CCP?

[19:17:33] Trueson > Question: Is there going to be something done abought the lack of range for the  <url=showinfo:2333>Survey Scanner II</url> with fleet bonuse you can crank up your mining range but you can't increase the scannning range

(Fellblade) Small wormhole groups rely on the viability of T3 hulls to enable them to effectively exist in w-space; with lower number of pilots and mass limits, effective multi role ships are hugely important. Given the concerning comments by CCP Ytterbium and worrying vagueness of the plan to balance them at the moment, I'd like to hear the CSMs view on the current state of T3s and in what direction they will be pressuring CCP when the T3 rebalance comes to the fore.

[19:28:51] Chiuin > Can you encourage CCP to keep CREST moving forward and to reduce cache times for the existing API? Six hour cache makes the assets API a lot less useful.

(Loki Feiht) I really like the new anomalies, I would like to see them used to implement more diversity for pve (thread links in my signature), do you think that would be somewhere eve could move towards?

(Inokuma Yawara) The alt training feature is useful, but why am I going to pay double for a single account just to train up an alt?

[19:32:58] pmchem > question for CSM: I notice that the "security director" job left vacant by CCP Sreegs is no longer listed at http://www.ccpgames.com/en/jobs?location=2 -- is this job filled?  who did they hire?  devblog coming soon?

(Salpun) Has CCP told you guys what is causing the becoming a thing Saturday night TQ reset?

[19:36:50] Lisara Khatam > One of the reasons that EVE was inducted into MOMA was the logon screen that shows the scale of the game and grand ideas.  With the new Launcher, it removes a bit of wonder that is New Eden.  Does CCP have any plans to bring back a logon screen?

(Doukyou) I hate the Meta Click fest game. Please KILL IT!!! Don't even get me started on the whole can imploding thing. Totally annoying. As far as implementation, there is sooo much you could have done with this.

(Doukyou) I think the nerfing of the scanning was a idea that should have been fully flushed out before it was implemented. The addition of modules gives me mixed feelings , I love new modules, but I don't think these were implemented very well. They seem half finished, For people with really high skills they are almost useless. By the time you get your skills up to the point of using the T2 modules, you have the ability to do well with out the modules. You have totally nerfed exploration. You have totally ruined what was once a challenging and rewarding part of the game for those of use who specialized in it.

[19:38:00] pmchem > <url=showinfo:1373//1869635534>Ali Aras</url> follow-up. http://www.ccpgames.com/en/jobs?location=2 has job openings for executive producer and technical director of EVE.  those jobs are... rather critically important, yes?  how will those vacancies affect progress on next expansion?

(Doukyou)  The Ice anomalies are better than I thought they would be, I totally disagree with how they are implemented. But I think they should exist.  The whole 4 hour regen time is (not a good) idea. The change from sigs to anomalies for finding hidden belts is equally  (not a good idea).

(me) Should CSM members be stealing from or scamming EVE players?
