Arrowspeeed Bounty's Eve Story and Experience
I started playing Eve in 2014, working my way through the new player stage with 2 friends, all of us learning together. Both friends have long since left the game (one through a sad death, the other still in contact in a Steam chat), but their characters still sit in my corp, my own sentimental salute to the Eve friendship machine.

One of my first light bulb moments in Eve was when I pulled up the full Eve map, while still trying to figure out what an asteroid looked like on the screen. "OMG, each one of those ovals is a region …. of constellations …… of systems …….. of planets? This is a pretty big game.”

Next light bulb moment was when I realized how much trouble it is to MOVE things places. “Gee,” I thought to myself, “seems like a good business could be started just by moving things around for people”. (This was before I noticed that lots of people had thought of the same idea, of course.)

And then – once I made my way into an alliance – there were those fleets that everybody said I had to join. “Wait, they’re all flying away somewhere … wait, wait for me – where are you? – what is this red circle being drawn on my screen and why is my body floating around all weird and looking … well, dead?” Which is what made me think it might be a good idea to have training classes for people new to fleeting. (OK somebody else already thought of that, too.)

These new player moments were the seeds of several of my first space jobs like new player fleet training and logistics services,

I got started in my more serious rental manager career the day I got furious at somebody for something (forgot what) and exited both corp and alliance in one angry click. Next day, to my surprise, a chat screen popped up from an alliance leader saying “Arrow, we want you back, what would it take to get you back?” I was amazed that I was missed at all, much less getting an offer to ask for what I wanted if I returned. But I did ask for what I wanted which was a space job that would allow me a voice in the alliance. I got the job and the voice, and returned to the alliance the next day. The job was setting up and managing a new rental program for Phoenix Federation (some may remember them).

From there, I found that my primary interest in Eve is running space businesses and leading teams that provide good services Eve players. I started by creating and running a logistics team, then managed rental businesses for several alliances (and still do for Fraternity), and then later took on other projects like setting up a moon rental system, an alliance recruitment team, rule/wiki management, and managing a coalition diplo team.

What do all these have in common? Listening to and understanding what those I serve want – and then delivering what they want. Whether it is fast, low cost delivery services, rental space with responsive and fair management, training classes for specific fleet roles, rules that are clear and consistent, or an organized diplo case management system that consistently hears both sides of a case and follows through. (And no, we don’t keep everybody happy doing this, that would be impossible – but we do care – and try – which is appreciated — well, most of the time ….. OK some of the time.)

Orion Sa-Solo's EVE Story

A relative asked me to play EVE Online in 2013 and then immediately pushed me into starting an industry corp in High Sec Yulai Heavy Industries. We mined together, built ships and eventually even capitals as we grew into a solid group, then ventured into Null Sec as renters. Over time we drifted apart, and I discovered PvP was what I wanted to do so I shuttered my corp. I eventually found more friends, became a director of Lethal Injection and moved around to multiple groups as we grew; CO2, The Culture, Triumvirate, and Pandemic Legion even dipped my toes into wormholes for a short time (WHs are scary; you really need Rat Jesus). Today I’m having a blast in Faction Warfare with the Minmatar Fleet Alliance. I’ve experienced all corners of space and I want to carry that breadth of knowledge to help everyone be heard.

Areas of Expertise

• PvP

• Null Sec/High Sec

• Small/Medium/Large gang PvP

Qualities That Set Me Apart

I’ve flown across just about every region of New Eden, been shot at, and shot just about everyone. I’m a D-tier FC, C-tier nano pilot, and B-tier local trash talker. I understand the perspectives of pilots in High Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec, Faction Warfare, and Wormholes—and I’ll make sure all voices are heard and concerns addressed. I’m not tied to anything other than helping CCP and the CSM help to keep making improvements on the game.

Why I’m Applying for the CSM

EVE and its pilots helped me through some of the toughest parts of my life. I want to give back by improving the game I love. I see room for more content and fresh objectives, and I’m committed to pushing for features that keep players engaged across every space.

What Players Can Expect From Me

• A CSM who listens to every pilot, regardless of playstyle or locale

• Active relaying of your concerns, ideas, and feedback

• Advocate for new and balanced content in HS, LS, Null, FW, and WHs

Key Proposals

• No citadel can be neutral in FW space put it on the line join one or the other.

• More Carrier/Dread iteration

• More mechanics to prevent afk plexing

• An in-game Abyssal marketplace the pilots yearn for a market!

• More dynamic community events that draw pilots out of their usual systems and spotlight every career path

Hello team, I am Rots Mijnwerker, alliance leader for Out of the Blue.

My history in Eve Online has always been about creating experiences, playing in a community, and growing with the game. My time in EVE truly started in 2005 at the age of 13, playing religiously throughout middle and high school then well into college. Now after hitting my 30s, it’s a lot easier to look back on the ebb and flow of what EVE has been.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing with some great people and fighting others equally as great. I have been encouraged by the EVE community and truly embraced the community building aspect of what the game allows us to collaborate around. Then, I was a very staunch PVPer and sprung headfirst into leadership and FC’ing, today providing almost nightly content for anyone who wants to go forth and shoot.

Over the years I have been in many alliances. In some I was the line member or diplomat, in others I was the Head FC, or I lead my own. 

⁠Fluffy Neko⁠'s EVE story:

I have first seen the cold, darkness of space on YC125 November 6th. I can still remember that day like nothing else. First, there was nothing, then BOOM blinded by explosions! They have barely finished printing my body, yet it was already being exploding. There was no time to think about anything, I had to adapt fast! I was actually saved by some dude in big ships, and then we stole they gave me my first ship: an Astero. Such a majestic vessel, it’s fit was, well, under spec though having lasers and only civilian modules, but in a hurry it had to do! We started fighting hostiles coming from all around, even saw one of those big thingies… freighter I think called.
Then from nothing, more enemies came. They overwhelmed us and took my shiny Astero and my freshly printed body! Too bad for them that I am immortal and my consciousness was downloaded onto another copy someplace else. From that day forward I was never able to live in peace, I craved revenge upon those that destroyed that this.
It didn’t take long to find my first corporation providing me with resources on finding the riches in this galaxy, money was tight, but we made it work. We dive into the deepness of space, far beyond human comprehension, we take the worm holes. It isn’t always easy, but as long as we have the power of friendship we have everything we need to succeed in this world!
After a while I became less worried about flying through the things called “gates” and expanded my worldview. These days I play in many places, and with many people, but my home will always be inside wormholes.

Greetings, Pilots. This is my very first ever CSM campaign.

I started out in EVE Online in Autumn of 2011 at the suggestion of a former co-worker from a former business I used to work for, I wasn’t too serious about his claims about EVE Online at the time until I did my research online, gotten the Commissioned Officer’s Edition box at my local Gamestop, which I still have to this day, and I haven’t looked back ever since.

My Expertise on said subjects

• Planetary Interaction - Besides looking in awe of New Eden’s most beautiful celestials and yet overlooked by some, I am a big supporter of PI Colonies not only for extracting resources from the ground up, as a Colonial Owner, where are my neighbors in this wonderful community? I would like to shake things up on a magnitude that gives interesting parties a look and possibly do something from orbit, if you know what I mean.
• PvP - I’ve dealt with fleet fights, Faction Warfare, and heck even I screwed around in lowsec areas where I really shouldn’t have. Knowing a few meta tips and tricks, there has to be a motivation as to why should anyone join your fleet?
• The FPS Element - I’ve played all sorts of First Person Shooters going on 24 years now, been a closed beta tester for Dust 514 in 2012 all the way until TACNET shutdown, what I can bring to the table is that there’s a LOT of PI Colonies sitting around and what we can do about that by giving players the chance to actually defend your colonies.

Hello Everyone, my name is Frippyy and I am running once again for CSM.

I’m the CEO of the Nullsec corp R3B3LLIUM in Get off my Lawn.

Like many of you reading this, EVE is a significant part of my life and I want to give back to this wonderful community by representing YOU as a member of CSM20. I am eager to maintain the quality of EVE and its community by listening to and spreading the voices of the players so that YOU can have your voice heard!

My campaign this year is for the improvement of SOV-Nullsec, Industry in all areas of EVE, Highsec mission running and some overall quality of life changes to help every EVE player regardless of position, allegiance or location.

Kshal Aideron for CSM20 - Getting Players to Undock

o7 pilots,

I’m Kshal Aideron, founder of EVE Rookies and the new CEO of Wormlife.

Over my 5.5 years of playing Eve, I’ve focused on building stronger communities. Even before founding Eve Rookies, I was active across Eve’s online spaces encouraging players to undock and join the new player roams I FC’d.

Today, EVE Rookies is 4500 players strong and standing up 100+ fleets a month while helping over a thousand players a year experience content in every corner of New Eden.

That brings me to CSM20. My campaign boils down to one mission:

“Getting players to undock.”

Let’s face it. If players don’t undock ships, there’s no content. If there’s no content, we’re all going to be in the safety of our hangers spinning our ships.

Look, Null will always have representation on the CSM. At least half of the 12 seats will go to block-backed players, and that makes sense! Null has the largest population and needs voices for CCP’s vision of that space.

But what happens when CCP decides to touch areas of the game nobody from Null has played since starting in EVE? Or haven’t touched for over a decade? That’s where lack of perspective becomes a problem for the rest of New Eden.

That’s where I come in. I get players to undock.

Through EVE Rookies (and now Wormlife), I help shape and maintain a fleet schedule of 100+ fleets a month. I partner with smaller groups so they are able to undock more often. I even work with individuals who come in to learn the content so they can turn around and build content for other communities (i.e. incursions in null sec).

So while my expertise over the past 5 years is the new player experience, as well as building strong communities, I also bring something broader. The general player experience.

I talk to players across highsec, lowsec, wormholes, markets and even Pochven and null and do my best to bring their voices forward to be heard....

Meet Teddy Shi and learn of their run for CSM in 2025 for Eve Online.

• Long-time, experienced EVE player.
• Truly independent candidate with no ties to any major alliances or corporations.
• Focused on improving EVE for industrialists, miners, and PvE players.
• Committed to being an accessible and transparent CSM member.

Quick intro about me outside of the game:

• I am 21, based in Michigan, USA.
• I have been very fortunate to attend several “local” in-person fleetups but I have never had a chance to attend a Fan Fest in Iceland.
• Professionally I have spent several years in sales, marketing and transportation. I have deep understanding of those fields inside and outside of space.
