Aero,
This thread is a great example of what a candidate's campaign thread should start off like. Kudos for well thought out and articulate responses; I may not agree with a couple of them but I respect your position. I brief forum search on your posts also happens to indicate you are pretty consistent in the positions you make here and in other posts of similar topic.
A few brief questions of my own:
1) Other than the forums how do you intend to collect and communicate requests, needs, POV of the community? In particular, those outside your corp / alliance.
2) What level of interaction would you like to establish between the CPM and CSM?
3) What are the top 3 short term (next 2mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make?
4) What are the top 3 mid term (next 6mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make?
5) In Spring of 2015, when CPM1's term is up, what would you want people to have said about your tenure as a CPM member?
Thanks for your time.
ps...will you be creating a channel for folks to meet and sqd with you during the period before the election?

Thanks for the detailed responses, Aero.
I'll be back from traveling in a few weeks and will look forward to meeting you in a squad. You and a couple others seem to be the most serious of those that are actively seeking a seat on CPM1. I like what I see from you so far. |

Aero,
First, I appreciate how well you completed KAGEOSHI's homework assignment he flipped to you!
On to my question...I posed the comments below to some of the recent candidates and thought I would see what your thoughts are on the subject.
I have often considered that it would be very beneficial for the CPM if one of the members WASN'T an elite player, Beta vet, or corp leader. The vast majority of players don't fall into those categories and I sometimes wonder if we would be well served by having a quality person with a fresher look or still struggling through the SP climb with minimal ISK...basically the average player.
I have noticed the majority of the candidates are leaders in elite corps (I.e. the upper 10%) and some have deserved reputations as outstanding or even elite level solo players. This is not a bad thing...however, it begs the question of how you and some of the other candidates will represent the majority of players not in your level of corp or skill.
So...Much of the conversation in the forums relates to the disparity in ISK, PC, general opportunities between the small upper tier and everyone else. Can you please elaborate on how you intend to represent the rest of the community, i.e. the other 90%? How we will know you aren't soley shaping things for the elites?

Well said. +1
To be clear, I oversimplified the comment about a less experienced or junior player being on the CPM. The most basic point of entry for CPM candidate is a proven commitment to Dust....didn't mean we should snap up a player who had only been on for a couple months.
I do like your thoughts about extending the Battle Academy and previous comments on putting some serious effort into the NPE.
Curious...would you advocate removing all squads from Pub matches? Perhaps just in Ambush mode?

Absolutely not! Playing with friends is one of the fundamental aspects that people enjoy about gaming. I simply believe that if you're trying to have a competitive shooter with a public matchmaking system then you shouldn't be allowed to bring in any more than 25% of the team; create separate game modes where you can bring in more. For Dust those modes already exists. For Faction Warfare there is nothing wrong with current squad sizes, and I would even endorse full team deploy. And of course for PC everything is 100% set up by the players.
Good deal...I concur. Team play and the social aspect of the game has been the bubblegum holding the airplane together.

Aero,
Did you ever post up an in-game channel for folks looking to squad with you?
