Do you mean the same type of static or different ones like in a C2?

So anyone know the reasoning why only c2's have multiple statics? would others like to see other wormholes have multiple statics or is it just me?

They are the crossroad wh's. They always have 1 K-Space and 1 W-Space static.

C3's always have a k space.

C1's can have K-Space or W-Space static. Only one or the other.

a potential problem would be changeing the statics of already populated wormholes

Rather than having systems with two statics, make the statics more random. Say, instead of a system with a C5 static, a system where the static goes to different parts of w-space on each roll. Say, C6 10% of the time, C5 50% of the time and C4 30% of the time and spawn 2 statics 10% of the time. (In the case of 2 statics, a new one will not spawn until both are gone.
Keep the dynamics spawning as well.

I would like to see the clusters get a bit more tangled, but more importantly, I think it would be fun if they were more random.

c) Like b), but add a new higher class of wormhole systems with lots of extra statics and no moons. They become a sort of 'communal backyard' for w-space to meet and shoot each other in the face.

im going to suggest this in here because this is where wormholes are likely to read it. If the thread takes off and there is some good discussion maybe it can be moved to Features and Ideas forum... We all know that c2's have multiple statics which is great but my question is why only c2's?

Currently in wormholes there is very little reason to fight over a system because you can probably find another system with the same effect and same static thats empty. If there was some c5's or c3's for example with multiple statics there might be some reason to fight over them.

Most of the time when scanning a chain from the c5 i live in it just goes from static to static eventually leading to k-space, its just a straght line which can only be scanned efficiently by 1-2 people.

I would love to see a wormhole chain that branched all over the place where there was more wormholes than 2 people could scan at a time and you could literally send out a swarm of scanners can be connected to 10,15,20 wormholes all at once.

Benefits:
- Multiple wormhole chains, more variety
- More difficult to wall off a so called 'fortress wormhole'
- I ncreased chance of PvP and encountering other players

Problems:
- Changing existing wormholes may give current owners an advantage due to luck
??? help me out guys

This is somthing we've been disscussing alot lately.

I would like to see the implementation of a C7 system, containing no moons and possibly 2 of each wormspace static(eg C1,C2,C3,C4,C5) This would then act as a focus point for WH PvP.

Of course there wouldn't be any wormholes with Static 7 as that would give an unfair advantage.


I think allowing people to pick and choose their statics is kinda against the WH environment. Whilst adding random statics to people's holes could cause problems for people, whats to say that they couldn't move?

Perhaps if they didn't add additional statics but just increased the spawn rate of random wormholes in systems, this would make for a more interesting environment whilst still allowing people to close holes that they dont like.

I need a cold shower after thinking about a C5->C5/C3.

The only way I'd go for this is if they double or triple the number of wormspace systems I already feel there isn't enough wormspace.

The last thing I would think we want is CCP making crazy changes to wh space. Lets get a better system for POS's before we even think about messing with statics.

Can C1s really have a w-space static? I was under the impression that my dream of a C1 with a C1 static was not possible.

completely disagree, most wormholes we open onto are empty or just have a few pos's and floaty ships. there almost all empty or inactive, adding more wormholes just makes this even worse...

I'd be concerned about this as well

what i'd probably want is (one or several of the below):

a) A POCO-like system that let you choose another type of static. You anchor a structure at a specific location in-system, it lets you choose a static type from reasonable lists of statics (no static highs from c5/c6s, for example :P ) and has some sort of maintenance/fuel requirement to keep that static active.

I like this one because it adds a bit of ~mystery~ to the whole thing; you can't just look up on the intertubes which extra statics a system has, it involves some figuring and intel, and it adds a nice point of contention to w-space.

b) Add new w-space regions of the same classes that exist now, but with no moons and extra statics. Add 1 new c6 region, couple of new regions for the other wh classes per each. They kinda become the true wilderness territory that no man can own.

c) Like b), but add a new higher class of wormhole systems with lots of extra statics and no moons. They become a sort of 'communal backyard' for w-space to meet and shoot each other in the face.

although alot of people are very happy in low class wormholes i find it astonishing how people can live in them for months on end. c5's and c6's offer infinatly more isk.

Only if you have a team of skilled, experienced and dedicated players with no newbies. I find that flying with others almost always drags down your efficiency. As I don't really enjoy shooting at NPCs, I always preferred to rat solo so I have to spend less time on it.

In a gang, you have lost cycles because targets have already popped, inattentive people who 'forget' to restart their launchers after reloading because they know the others will keep shooting, delays for organizing and so on. And newbies who drag everyone down with their **** skills.

Back when I ratted in C3s, I made 250+ m/h solo (two chars). Nowadays I run C2s again (for not ISK-related reasons), though I have the opportunity to rat with friends in a C4. But what I hear from them, they usually make only 100-120m/h per player, and they all fly shiny ships and most also dual-box. I make about the same alone with two cheap Drakes.
