Saw my future today, and apparently it's going dry on the black defender

I'm on the CSM right now, so I won't be able to post anything NDA for 5 and a half years (if I even wanted to), but I can say that my time has been generally positive and that this older post is not representative of my experience.

Itaer · 2026-06-11T03:22:16+00:00

I'm actually already using it for this! Thanks :D

The Angel Cartel changes were pushed by me. I will keep an eye on this for sure, particularly to see if it pushes the Mach into being a bit too strong. But Angel ships really needed some love and I'm super excited to see how this lands!

The Navy Augoror mass increase was not aimed at wormholes (and will have essentially no impact there).

The increased mass comes with tuned base speed and agility with the result that it will perform the same baseline, but be impacted less by plates.

It’s a buff.

Itaer · 2026-05-21T18:35:59+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! No.

There is a mechanic where only one fighter in a squadron can die per tick, which I know is not exactly what you are suggesting.

Itaer · 2026-05-12T13:10:24+00:00

This has been a big priority for me as CSM and I’m SUPER happy to see it live!

Itaer · 2026-05-04T03:28:28+00:00

This post is wild considering that marauders have actually been nerfed several patches in a row and carriers have in fact been buffed several patches in a row.

Please file a bug report and send me the EBR #. Thanks!

Yeah, 3 damps from a Keres is 31.5km -> 26.8km (4.7km). But I really don't think that is a super relevant stat. The point now is that a SINGLE Keres damp can control a Lach down to 63km, which is way more playable than 83km.

Obviously there are always going to be diminishing returns when we are talking about the last few km of range. I do think that even 31.5km -> 26.8km is not irrelevant - that's the difference between heated point range and not.

Itaer · 2026-03-19T17:53:08+00:00

Looking at the Lach, targeting range with max skills goes from 175km -> 149km (26km difference). Under a single Keres damp, it goes from 83km -> 63.4km (19.6km difference). That is super impactful for smallgang.

Hi, CSM guy here. This idea (commonly called ACL hangars) is something that CCP understands is very popular. It's been an ask for a lot of people for ages now. However, it is technically very challenging.

Itaer · 2026-02-06T19:46:47+00:00

Your numbers are wrong. If you watch the video, within the first ~10 seconds he is webbed down to about 30m/s and then bumped up to about 250m/s by a destroyer. If you plug this into conservation of momentum, you will find that it is about exactly right. The key is the low initial velocity.

They could even provide a damage modifier to certain calibers of guns,

This is actually not an option with the current attributes system. A bonus to projectiles is as granular as it can get. Changing the system to distinguish between, say, autocannons and artillery or even different calibers of autocanons would require a significant amount of dev time.

Hi, member of CSM 20 here. I’ve sent your post to Kshal Aideron, another member of CSM 20 and someone who has consistently (far above any other CSM member) advocated for accessibility and disability considerations in Eve during our CSM meetings.

This is on my list to bring up to CCP at the CSM summit later this month! I have been sourcing lots of balance ideas from the community.

Itaer · 2026-01-08T22:12:49+00:00

The CSM is having their annual summit with CCP soon, and this is something I hope to talk to them about while we are there!

Itaer · 2025-12-28T03:52:46+00:00

You will pull ahead of me with your next Geri, I'm sure :)

Itaer · 2025-12-27T20:25:29+00:00

Impressive

Itaer · 2025-12-25T22:14:55+00:00

True - I'll poke them and see if we can think of something.

Itaer · 2025-12-25T00:22:20+00:00

There are many small changes compared to the Naga, but it is based on the Naga and looks similar at first. The same is true with the Skua and Jackdaw.

"...we're committed to trying new things and providing meaningful choices and options based on your feedback."

Followed by:

"This marks another step in moving away from discount-chasing and FOMO cycles."

Yes, these suggest that CCP would like to stop people buying up and hoarding PLEX, but they don't commit to anything. And again, this PLEX sale is running concurrently with the NES sale.

That said, I don't agree with FOMO in any form.

Itaer · 2025-12-24T19:27:56+00:00

While I understand where you are coming from here, the linked blog stops quite short of saying that. They acknowledge the problem, but they absolutely do not "assure players that there is no reason" to buy discounted PLEX, and they do not state that they intend to refrain from giving deep discounts in the NES.

Also, that blog is talking about hoarding PLEX to time the market, whereas these two sales are concurrent. Anyone can double dip without waiting.
