Been asked numerous times after telling people some of my ideas. I figure I would enjoy trying to communicate the community's ideas to CCP. My resume includes....

A closed beta vet dating back to october 2012. Closed Beta member of 843-Burgezz. When open beta launched after 3 months in 843 i decided i wanted a more competitive corp. I applied to the Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz. After learning the true mentality of Pfbhz I started playing a lot out of corp.

Meeting much of the top tier talent of the game and befriending many of them. Eventually a group asked me to bring all those friends together and create a corporation. After 2 weeks of internal debate on if i wanted that much of a headache i caved and decided it would be a challenge i would embrace.

So I gathered my contacts and in around 5 days I had convinced 28 top tier players to abandon their corps and join me in my endeavor. The days before 5/14/13 we started debating names and to my dislike 0uter.Heaven was chosen by way of vote. Around 03:30 UTC 5/14/13 0uter.Heaven was born. I have tried to run this corp honorably and justly as I wish PFBHz had. Never have I undertook a leadership role in any other game until now.

My Dust Toons
Proto Varients of every light weapon except swarm launchers. Various ideas about OP and UP weapons. Proto Varients of all the Sidearms. Advanced Heavy and proto hmg and forge. CCP has done a great job of putting these weapons and suit in a good place. Proto Min logi with all proto equip. Proto min Assualt. Both Proto Scouts. I have an alt specced into all the vehicles and modules so I have that experience as well. If its in dust I've tried it.

Forum Warring efforts
As a true Scout since day 1 of my merc career the threads of scouts hits home. I try and voce my opinions and builds to the up and coming scouts so we can maintain a role that is difficult to play and even more difficult to enjoy. I have tried to voice my opinion over the year on truly over powered weapons. I believe my first post was in February 2013 about the Assault Forge and the OP nature it had. I try to give logical reasons behind all of my posts so as to avoid being trolled for stupidity.

The game is something I care greatly for and hope all the friends I have lost to slow development will return when The game is what we all envisioned years ago. I wish to attempt to give my soul to ccp as well as my countless hours of experience playing the game you created.

Sorry for massive wall of text.
Tl:Dr
I'm going to raise the room. Help develop the AAA title we all want. Generally be the Golden Child you all know and love.

Why do you state your platform for running for the CPM1 is "being famous"

Why do you state your platform for running for the CPM1 is "being famous"

Wish I could have recorded some of that nerd rage you let out during the time I squaded up with you. You said some ultra constructive things about CCP that day.

I'll admit, I do rage, whats your point? Lots of people get angry, the important thing is, after about a minute, my anger is gone. Its a spur of the moment thing.

That minute lasted about 3 domination matches.

Why do you state your platform for running for the CPM1 is "being famous"

Lol funny how you wrote that but didnt get the posts before. You made me type a platform that was the best I could think of. I told you a platform is a political standpoint that is made of raindbows and butterfly's that instantly vanish once elected. If I am to be chosen it will because of what I truly stand for and not for the garbage I thought would sound good. I also said right before that if I knew the limitations to the position or true role other than to be a between man for ccp and the community I would have a platform.

Radar,

I've seen you around quite a bit in game but haven't interacted with you. You've got a good rep, however, I echo a bit of the concern about lack specific items or areas that you would want to help CCP address as a CPM member.

Also...would you mind sharing a bit about you in the way of age, profession, time available for CPM duties, ect. Just to let folks get to know you a bit.


Here are a few specific questions for you (same as I pose to all candidates):

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.

As a CEO of a powerful corporation my name draws players to me. I opened a squad in finder it filled in 28seconds. Reaching the community is the easiest thing to do. It is the reason I have the corporation I have. Learning peoples grievances of this game is as simple as constantly squading with new people. A general consensus will form and trends will appear. Communicating those in a well mannered way will be difficult depending on the tools given to me. If it is as simple as "Yo Shanghei tone down the rail rifles alpha. Thanks" well then shouldn't be hard. If no other method is provided forums will be my go to with the information gathered.

2) What level of interaction would you like to establish between the CPM and CSM?
For now I believe the CPM and CSM should work seperatly depending on where the devs at with the code. If anything comes close to bridging eve and dust both parties should talk but until then each games needs to work seperatly to make the bridge that much better.

3) What are the top 3 short term (next 2mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make? I'm looking for concrete examples that are realistic to achieve.
1- May or may not happen in 1.8 but racial balance
2-Establish a test server for CPM and Devs to quickly alter weapon stats to ensure balanced weapons pre release.
3-Small bug fixes. Like length of tenure in your corporation

4) What are the top 3 mid term (next 6mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make?
1-Complete module and weapon rebalancing to be done on the test server. Once finished release with the next major patch. (I.e Uprising to Goliath)
2-New Game Mode(s)
3- PC overall to fix the constant exploitation in a way that is enjoyable

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?
Communication between CPM Radar and devs helped to create a game that I enjoy playing every day. Truly I don't care what people say of me. What I want to see is a player base over 10k if I can make that happen during my tenure then I will can say without doubt I helped to make a game I love thrive.

6) Will you be creating a channel for folks to meet and sqd with you during the period before the election?
Unfourtantly I cannot create a channel in dust. A small bug I found is once a dust player ges tied to eve created channels (I.e moderator) your merc loses the right to create a channel. But all are welcome to join "An 0uter.Heaven" The channel I am tied to and I will gladly squad with any who have questions when I have time.
Thank you for your time.

Headshot +60

Dude, not at all a reason to run. And I see nothing here about any of the things this game so badly needs. We need new players, not tweaks to weapon stats.

Can we reach you out of game?

The only question I have at this time is:

Would you have the time for the CPM activities?

I know how demanding a full schedule of PC is and I fear that it would affect your ability to be a great CPM.

I think I can find a way to make that happen. The only thing I have is a smartphone and a ps3/4 so I think my smartphone will find a way. Will update when I find an app.

Edit- Android has a skype app. I guess I will see what skype does for me. Set up an account not sure if i use Full Name or Skype ID so.... Radar_R4D-47. Btw can anybody help me with a Sig. Pretty much I want it to be a hyperlink to this thread and say "Radar for CPM"

... I-RED go as a FW guy don't try rebalance as everyone has different opinions on those subjects, but FW could get more unilateral support.

Added

You talk about weapon balancing (which is needed), but what else do you plan on bringing to the role? What is your past experience? What does the role of CPM mean to you?

Thought I would throw some questions as your application does not really state much

Help me test it send me a skype.

Do you think your phone will be enough for this position?
Do you have any sort of plan to buy a computer for this should you be elected?

I have plans to buy a computer to continue my eve career. My phone is always connected to the internet and always on my person its what I use for these forums. I can think of no better tool.

A few questions
In what ways would you wish to see the Connection between capsuleers and infantry expanded?

Some kind of market integration where superior items can be created by utilizing both games. Interest from both parties will give capsullers and infantry common goals to work towards.

How high on your list of priorities is having dust able to perform a constant framrate of say 30 FPS?

I don't see much frame rate drop anymore from the game. They have nearly optimized the game as well as they can I believe. Maintaining a high fps reduces QQ we have currently. Most people I have ever squaded with feel that they lose a 1v1 due to a sudden framedrop or a lag spike. As far as priority goes its not something that can be suddenly fixed because so many thing account for the issues. So fairly low but maintaing optimal performance between updates is a priority.

Would you wish for the return of Corporation Battles or rather the introduction of Team Deploy for Factional warfare?

0.H was queue syncing FW fine last night got 6 matches in a row with little difficulty. Corporation Battles by far are the most important aspect of dust that needs brought back. PFC is a joke compared to what corporation battles were used for.

I'm sure to come up with more questions, but these seem to be ones that many people have so I put them here

it's copy pasted into most of the Candidate's threads...

Noticed the lack of anything in the ways of NPE. Since that is the biggest issue currently, I find that frightning.

"As a CEO of a powerful corporation my name draws players to me. I opened a squad in finder it filled in 28seconds."

please explain how this has anything to do with the cpm? u dont even have a computer bro?

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.

---

You are in a position of leadership in one of the top Corps / Alliances in the game. 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?

A lot has been talked about in regards to new players.

Taking off my candidate hat and asking as a veteran, how do you wish to see this game evolve for veterans to give them new experiences in Dust? How do you feel that you can increase competition between top corporations without sacrificing the experience of new players?

I want to see racial balance and weapon balance. No FotM things. Diversify the battlefield and give all weapons the ability to thrive. Give suits bonuses that are specific and amplify a certain play style. Rebalance all the modules so caldari can fit shields easily but have to sacrifice a lot to fit armour. Vice versa for gallente.

I grow tired of PC's constant redundancy. Every build there is things far superior to others. All the corps spec into them and use the same tactics as every other corp to win. Then it comes down to individual talent that each corp can field. Usually the corp that starts to get hot gobbles up that talent quickly. Thus we have stagnant play due to all the competition playing for the same team.

I feel to increase competition between corps we need a game mode other then PC to Team Deploy into (Corporation Battles). The squad cup was also a great experience for all players that got a chance to play. Smaller numbers increase team play and allow for greater variability between squad setups.

Giving game modes that are resevered for solo players and squad deploy modes would drastically improve the enjoyment of dust for new and old players. I know it is frustrating playing against one of the Top Tier corps squad while solo is awful. Equally Frustrating while playing some kind of team based mode and having teammates that have no idea what they are doing.

Pc is supposed to be the End -game content. Currently it is the only way to have a truly competitive battle. I want to offer different means of gameplay for CCP to look at rather then focus on a gamemode that is extremely time intensive and politically charged. This will give the players that feel left out of PC a chance to engage in competitive battles without the aforementioned challenges of PC. In turn offering more competitive game modes will ideally offer the casual player a chance to enjoy the game without getting spawn trapped by the top tier talent. As those players will be playing the competitive modes.

An interesting question to be sure. If I understand the entire CPM election it will be a panel or players representing the community. Currently in the CPM we have now we lack that player who has exception skills in FPS. Representing the other 90% o the community is usually based off what the Top 10% do.

Everyone complains about certain OP weapons because the Elite players use them and slaughter. Community complains about the isk disparity because the top 10% control PC. I'm not saying my views would be solely based upon the top 10%. However careful attention must be paid to how these players react as the community typically follow their actions.

My goals would be to reduce that disparity by giving the 10% something to do outside pub matches. Thus giving the 90% room to grow and eventually we will see the gap reduce. A pub match made for Elite level talent would go a long way to not only increase competition For upper talent but give the rest of the community a chance to enjoy the game.

Bringing me back to the 90% is as easy as reading general discussions, squading with new people, creating a channel like irc for players to voice their concerns to the CPM while in game. Creating a thread like my 0uter.Heaven thread. A thread to come vent after your hours of dusting.

Engaging the community in my opinion is simple. I would not solely represent the top tier talent in the game nor try to build the game for those players. I would be able to easily represent their concerns however and use the concerns in coordination with the views of the majority.

Consider this...when informing CCP of potential options for weapon and equipment tweaks could you honestly say you can take into account the average player? Their skill level is likely to be drastically lower than yours; mechanics you and other members of 0uter Heaven can easily manipulate and overcome might be beyond most of them. Not poking...just asking.

no offense but pretty sure u are the worst candidate I have seen so far Radar.

dont believe u really got a computer either.

Radar has more experience on the competitive side of DUST than all the CPM1 candidates combined. Sense the start of PC hes shown full comprehension of both meta game and ground game. Armed with the experience and skills necessary to successfully run a top corp, hes sure to give a voice to all the veterans out there.

With all the SP and ISK gathered there's got to be a higher purpose for all dusties. And your chance to leave your mark on New Eden in form of district holding is a rather unique feature only found in DUST. CPM needs a candidate with PC experience that can see this unique game mode come to fruition.

i actually havent told any of them. Slightly disapointed to see one of my corp mates posting here.

You're disappointed to see one of your corp mates posting here?

Gotta be a bad troll.

I for one disregarded your fame (whatever that means, I've never actually heard of you and My God is Dust "fame" really a thing anyway?) and judged you based on your responses. Most would agree your stances are among the weakest of the candidates.

There is no bias from my part, simply a need to choose the best candidate. You simply aren't it.
