Originally by: Namak Bulu, a man of unusually high intelligence It also seems that there is massive amounts of ISK to be had in W-Space, and fairly safe as well. Why not scale back the abundence of W-Space? I would imagine if the risk of PVP goes up in W-Space, the people out for refinables & ore goes down from those who wouldn't solo-mine or what have you. May not fix the problem entirely, i'd also think that a small cut to reprocessing would be warrented as well, as has been mentioned plenty of times. My thoughts...
MMMmmm let's take a look at the risk/reward ratio here. Highsec: terrible ore, moderate payout, very low risk Lowsec: terrible ore, moderate payout, very high risk Nullsec: Amazing ore depending on the system, high payout, fairly decent risk what with alliances/coalitions being able to fight over space with cap/supercap fleets and roamers 'n such Wormhole space: Amazing ore, high payout, pretty damned low risk. I mean, sleepers don't even spawn after you kill the first wave! I wish that happened in every other asteroid belt I mined in...Also, it's fairly easy to tell if someone else comes into the system, and the ability to kill POSes is extremely limited. Don't even talk about getting lost or abandoned, that's the exception rather than the rule. Which is suggesting to me that wormhole space needs to have additional challenges for mining, or the amount of high-end mining needs to be scaled back, or a combination of the two. Reducing the amount of WH space available will just make it even harder to find an empty wormhole for the players who don't want to permanently live in a wormhole system--how many WH systems are left that don't have a POS in them anyways?
Personally, I'd also like to see a sleeper super-capital added that runs around and blows up POSes, but that's just an idle daydream which really has no basis for its existence other than the fact that WH POSes are practically invulnerable and generate loads of iskies. 'Cuz wormhole space is supposed to be dangerous, and it's not anymore. Amirite?
your right the role the pos plays in worm holes is too easy, that role should be filled by the orca, is this what those mining capitals were invented for anyway ? knowledge is power.... guard it well |
