The CPM2 ballot box.

1. Vote smart. And a work trip isn't really a free holiday. And currently nobody has gotten flown anywhere.

2. Not really. There's a lot of setup for a vote, and a vote for a seat at a time isn't worth it, and there's almost no point in re-filling a seat more than halfway through a term (CSM has been through this) as it takes time to get with the program.

3. There should absolutely always be a CPM. I would rather have a CPM of DNSBlack, BAMM HAVOC, CEOPyrex, and you than have no CPM at all. There are so many bad things the community will never have to contend with because the CPM exists to ensure they never happen.

Yet when infantry goes 40-0, no one bats an eye. Those pilots are very few and far between, and I bet those were almost exclusively pythons, in matches without rail Incubus in play to keep them busy in the sky, as well as no significant AV presence. While pulling out too much AV will give the advantage to the team who focuses on anti infantry, there are lots of ways to maintain field presence while running AV.

You should have Ratatti pull those numbers for ADS and how often they were destroyed (not how often the pilot dies, as these aren't the same) for both Python and Incubus. And you should also acknowledge that with no real anti shield AV, the shielded ship with a weapon designed to easily kill infantry will perform well.

I STRONGLY doubt the vast majority of pilots were ever breaking even on ISK

Started this little Gem shortly after I was made aware of this thread.

Insofar not liking one of the proposals has some weak things going for it.

A lot of the model numbers being given to me are based off chrome. There are some messed up **** back then. Though trying to get chrome numbers now to throw in.

And I bet you dont see people going 40-0 in PC with infantry fits either unless its some supercorp vs. scrubby new to PC co.

Yes lets look at PC, where people have sat there hovering in front of my AV fit eating every AFG shot for a full clip, then fly off into the sky at light speed only to come back in a few seconds, rinse and repeat until he manages to hit me enough to kill me. Where I fire on rail tanks over and over, hitting them until Im almost out of ammo until they just blap me one time with a railgun and I die from a single hit. Where I repeatedly get first on my team for WP with only one or two vehicle kills, and the majority of my actual kills comes from me killing scouts trying to shotgun me. Why is it easier for me to kill infantry than it is for me to kill the thing Im supposed to counter?

Why is it that every engagement is the vehicle's to lose and all the AV guy can do is hope he hits every shot, and even then the AV player has to make huge mistakes to actually die?

Then on the flip side if more than one AV or (god forbid) a tank is firing at that vehicle its probably going to go down super easily and cost a ton of money, this means if there is significant opposition you have to play super careful with your vehicles which encourages unfun campy play.

We need to fix this so that vehicles are cheaper so you can risk more and actually have fun, so that one AV player has a real chance to kill a vehicle, so that vehicles arent a dozen times easier to kill with a militia railgun tank that with a proto AV fit.

Vehicles need to be completely rebalanced in both survivability (which needs to go down) and cost (which needs to go way down), swarm launchers need to be reworked completely so they require skill to hit with, and there needs to be some better balance between vehicles (railtanks vs. dropships in particular break down rediculously in favor of the railtank, and there needs to be a better infantry slayer turret that should be complete **** against other vehicles).
