That sounds bad for someone on the CPM (which stands for what btw?). I mean sounds like your saying that hurting your alliance is something you so do not want to do that you would only be a CPM if it didn't hurt it, so sounds like you'll have your alliance in your head when doing CPM decisions. Bit bias sounding. I think what he means is that his Alliance now has a strong enough leadership team that he can step away from Alliance leadership to concentrate on the CPM without worrying about his Alliance falling apart without his guiding hand. If you spend a lot of time building something, you donGÇÖt want to step away until you are sure it can stand on its own. It sounds like he has gotten to that point.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf wrote: They [Basic Frame suits] should be very generalized and versatile in slot layouts compared to their specialist counterparts, like a middle ground between the specializations of the suits; this could be done by altering the basic frames (like medium basics get a 2nd equipment slot and lose a module slot in exchange for removing a high slot or something). This would let players try out more roles before deciding what to specialize into. I like this suggestion. So the Medium Basic suit would be a Tech 1 version, half way between a Logi and an Assault, but not as good in either role as the specialised suit. Maybe 1 racial bonus that worked for either role, instead of 2 bonuses. 2 Equipment slots, but giving up one or more High/Low slots depending on race. Would act as a starter Logi suit, as well as a starter Assault suit. No DPS or Logi bonuses. Maybe a defensive bonus or something.
For Light and Heavy suits, the Basic suit can have a different slot configuration. Like how the Amarr Basic Heavy suit currently has more high slots than the Sentinel suit. You give up a bonus, to use a different slot layout. It is sort of like the variant infantry rifles. If you skill into Assault Rifle you still have access to the Tac AR for long range work, but it is not as good as if you skilled into the infantry rifle made for long range work.

I think it helps that there are so many positions on the council, so for one of you to win a seat you don't have to insure that everyone else loses. You just have to insure that you are in the top 6 or so, and in that sort of environment someone who looks like they play well with others will get more votes than someone who is trying to discredit other candidates.

Free Beers wrote: Locking districts started day 1 of PC and the locking + not showing up was known since summer. CCP put in a fail safe (or error handling since you are a code nerd) that roles back the attack and refund clones or clone packs in case of server crash. Sadly the great and amazing ccp devs didn't do a good enough job and allowed dual no show to give a false server crash effect. Now ccp hasn't said this but a server crash and dual no show has same results so do the math. Ah, so that is how it works! When the Learning Coalition had two districts we could not figure out how we could possibly keep them locked without burning through massive amounts of ISK. Apparently our mistake was in actually showing up. We kept trying to hold training sessions. The only cost effective method we knew about to hold training matches was to use Clones from the district instead of buying clone packs, but this left the districts unlocked most of the time.
If I had known how the mechanic worked we could have alternated between holding training sessions and not showing up, in order to maintain a revenue neutral training operation. As it was, I think BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades actually lost ISK in the venture.

Players fighting PC battles requires there to be enough players in the Corp to support all the district battles. Thus the number of districts a Corp can hold is dependent on how many skilled players they have. This would also keep PC players busy, so they spend less time in PUBs.
With no show District locking, you could in theory hold all the districts with just two CEO's by themselves. Of course it takes more people to actually take the districts to start with.
Therefore the ability to lock districts tends to funnel all the wealth from PC into a much smaller group of people, to the point where they have more ISK than they can spend. It also frees up the subsidized members of PC corps to fight in PUB matches or FW instead of spending a significant amount of time in PC matches.
That being said, CCP did not declare Locking districts to be an Exploit when it was first discovered, so it would not be fair to go back and take the ISK back now. If they fix it the economy will right itself in time, once we have a proper economy. Once we have a market, new players in Standard suits will start making ISK from Proto salvage.
