As everyone knows, 1.8 will bring major infantry changes. I won't go into the various arguments here, but just want to gauge the CPM and CPM1 candidates' views regarding an infantry respec/SP refund. The main options are:
1. All SP in dropsuit command, dropsuit upgrades, and weaponry trees refunded.
2. All SP in dropsuit command and dropsuit upgrades trees refunded.
3. All SP in dropsuit command and weaponry trees refunded.
4. All SP in dropsuit command tree refunded.
5. No SP refunded.
6. Other (specify).
I encourage CPM and CPM1 candidates to state their preferred option. If you like you can also provide supporting reasons. |

CCP tend to go quiet in the last months before Fanfest anyway, usually they're in a sprint to finish stuff for announcment at Harpa. There has been a modestly sizable shift in resources around the company in the last few months. Nearly all Dust development is now done under one roof at CCP Shanghai according to IRC. A number of new staff have been taken on there and more to come if the jobs section of CCP is anything to go by.
The other thing to remember is that 1.8, save for some last minute tinkering based on feedback was likely finished and ready to go a few weeks ago. And 1.9 is likely slated as a fix patch only with no content. Right now, they'll be working in the next named expansion pretty much full time.
If 1.8 is finished, why haven't they told us which of the above options they're going with? Not saying you're wrong about it being done and dusted, but we could do with a bit more transparency.
Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed that no current CPM has dropped by. You guys know the NDA doesn't stop you from expressing opinions, right? |

Okay. I think going forward it might be a good idea to have a single place (not this thread, obviously) where players can go to see CPM's 'voting records' on the main issues of the day, the same way MP/senator voting records are public in most countries.
This is an essential feature of accountability in a representative democracy, which is presumably what the CPM is supposed to aspire to eventually. At the moment decisions are made on the 'smoky room' model, with little way of keeping track of individual CPM's input.
I'm thinking something like a stickied thread in the Council's Chamber, where Devs post voting records (no posting by non-Devs allowed, to prevent the information from disappearing under a mountain of trolling). |
