As far as a wormhole candidate goes, I can't think of anyone I'd prefer over Noobman. Generally good debates, logic and reasoning is what I remember from him.
A solid candidate even if the platform needs a little work.

Is this a game balance issue, is there something that ccp could do to break this up, or is it just a result of the massive value in c6 space and the fact that most pvp groups prefer c5 space and its better connections, leaving any potential opposition to this supposed rental empire disinclined to do anything about it. And if so should ccp do something to make c6 space more desirable to pvp groups?
I'll start out by saying Eve is a sandbox. If someone wants to build an empire and has the military might to do so then what ever the heart desires. W-space is very unique compared to the rest of Eve. Unlike in Null where goons can reach every region they control and defend it with n+1 fleets, that is just not the case in W-space. Sure you can rage roll the 113 c6s and 512 c5s (plus Shattered whs) but can the defender keep up that every single day to defend 1 system in their "Empire"?
There is counter play in the current game, what the opposition to empires lacks is organization and a plan they can follow through with.
- The spawn rate of sites in c6 space is better.
- More sites per day = more isk.
- Less K-space connections = less PvP.
- Less PvP groups living in c6 space or in c5/c6 = Less chance of your PvE fleet getting caught.
These are all reasons why c6 has evolved into a more attractive space to PvE in. Eve players are notorious for finding the most efficient way to spend thier time, so they created an empire to do it.
Lastly you ask "should ccp do something to make c6 space more desirable to pvp groups?" If they made C6's have dual static 3bil holes, I could seriously attempt to persuade my corp to move to a c6 with a c5 and null static. It would be the dream to have a high class static and a null connection.

Hi Noobman,
I'm curious as to your views on the introduction of the new Citadel structures for replacing POSes (as currently iterated by CCP), and what impact you think that they'll have on WH life.

You provided some overarching ideas for reshaping wh space.
Could you go into more details into your vision of altering wh pve space, both with low and high wh space. Looking for some of the nitty gritty details like mechanic changes to spawns, wh mass, income etc.
Whats your take on the proposed implementation of citadels and wh space and any changes you'd like to implement? |

Being pretty much the figurehead of almost anything HK has done noobman is a great leader with a wealth of knowledge about the game.
I do have one question : Will you advocate for changes even if it may severly impact your own playstyle in a negative way if for the whole of Wspace/Kspace it ends up being a largely positive change?
I think that would have to be answered on a case by case basis. If something is going to negatively affect w-space but is a " largely positive change" there has to be a compromise, or some idea or tweak that could make it better. If your talking about a risk of something CCP wants to implement for a larger vision it really just depends.
When CCP came to us with the citadel changes and information, all of w-space fought for the current revised plan for citadels. I think CCP was surprised that we wanted a more brutal and hardcore rules for ourselves in W-space. With the success we had with changing CCP's minds on citadels I know there will be more opportunities to do the same thing in the future.

I want to always bring to the table GÇ£Hey that is going to affect wormholers and here is whyGÇ¥. For instance I want Capitals to always have a balanced place in combat and PvE. Broad changes to Eve needs to always have someone double checking the repercussions for W-space.
I'd like to know more about your feelings on capital escalations. You say they are "a bit lucrative", and I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. What sorts of changes would you like to see? I'd also love to hear more about your feelings on capital ships, given the announced plans.
I'm not being sarcastic, I've have made the entirely of my wealth from capital escalations. I know the real numbers of what you can pump out of a c6 mag or c5 mag or just a no effect c5. I've capital escalated in all of them.
I don't think the current method of solo 'Hero" dreading should be the baseline for the revamp of Capital PvE. I would like to see a larger cap fleet required. The difficulty of a perfect redesign is someone is always going to be able to run 5-6 clients and do it solo, which skews the Isk per hour per person. That person is taking on all the risk and has all the ISK invested in the pilots and ships, not to mention the immense workload of doing it solo (not just the sites themselves but the daily prep).
I think the ISK values of the sites themselves are not an issue. I'm not an economist nor do I have access to CCP data.
What I think has the majority of w-space upset is the 4 day respawn. If you are unfamiliar you can capital-ly escalate a site 4 days in a row before it despawns as long as you do not kill the trigger. All of the isk is in the escalation waves. Now if you had all sites be on a 24 lifetime, you would have sites randomly spawning all all times of the day. It would make the wormholes that are complete bearholes more active:
- They might run at multiple times a day
- They might run the site to completion for the extra ISK since it's not going to respawn.
- They will have more new sigs while running, makes it feel more risky for the guy doing it solo because he has to stop what he's doing to scan down the new data/relic site. Will promote safety in larger groups.
- Promotes being active in your wormhole, Instead of checking at DT if you got new sites then running them at your prefered time.
Now that is just 1 idea. there are so many tweaks you could do the the spawn sizes, the spawn locations, multiple rooms (say half the value is in capital escalation then you unlock a room or an open mission beacon generated that you can take subcaps only to that is the other half of the value.)
And lastly and and sort of controversially what if NPC kills increased the likelihood of a wormhole spawning in your hole?

Noobman, basically the back bone of Hard Knocks. As a Director, Content Creator, awesome FC, master Krab or just as someone to motivate many others, also me - he's done an absolutely amazing job.
He's always been nice and never grumpy even after a bad day and people bugging him.
I offer my sincere thanks together with my deepest respect for all that has been achieved by him.

It would be the dream to have a high class static and a null connection.
I'll propose you a compromise.
You dual static the C6. But instead of a static K space, it is a static Shattered hole.
So all the 100ish C6 space gain a static shattered wormhole as their 2nd static.
To improve the odds with shattered space, each shattered wormhole gains a static shattered connection. So each shattered wormhole has at least 1 hole connected to another static, and statistically should have a c6 wormhole connected to it (maybe multiple).
The concept here is to create a wormhole highway. You find 1 shattered wormhole, you find them all. You potentially are able to go to every single c6 wormhole in a single night if you are so inclined to through shattered space.
C5 wormholes obtain random wandering shattered wormholes to correspond with the access c6 space has.
You virtually double the playability and size of c6 space by interconnecting shattered systems to them.
Wspace now has a roaming ground.
C5 and C6 space gain a entirely new method to PVP.
TL:DR. Shattered holes interconnect to each other. Dual static C6, and the second static is to shattered space. Highway created, roaming area created, new combat methods created, c6 space becomes launchpoints, c5 join in on the fun, all wspace now have their own killing fields.
Yaay!!!!

I believe Noobman will hold the interests of the larger WH community far higher than ****** youtube personalities or 'i have alts in wspace' goons. The two you mention above can fall flat on their face for all I care.
How much time do you think he's going to have to play Eve, and run HK and fleets, when he get's onto the CSM? He will, if he's serious, have all of his time eaten up by the CSM. By people mailing him left right and centre. CEOs of corps that no one has heard of asking him to air a proposal or by running wh townhalls where the answer isn't muting everyone who dissagrees with you.
As for putting the larger wormhole community far higher... Tell me, do you think he will air views and fight for something that the majority of the WH community wants if it's not what (and possibly hurts) the gameplay style of LZHKs and HK? That's an actual serious question, not a dig in any way...
Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

I can totally agree with that many positive postings about noobman. in the short time i was in hk he was always positive, had a good manner, never salty and there where everytime a friendly conversation. no matter which party won. he has a huge knowledge of wspace and its mechanics and eve in general. he do and did a great job in hk and for whspace and i bet he will continue. like sometimes before you saw he is able for this position and he stands for what he talks. like he stated on podcasts etc.
i hope the csm stuff will not burn him too much and he still have his gaming fun in eve left. this is not a fanboy upvote, this is a upvote from someone who give him a try because its worth it.
