NO!

But it is a cleaver try of renaming the old wormhole stabilisers idea 0.0 players always want... .

My point is that the mere though of having wormhole space develop unseen like an ant colony under the nose of null and empire seem rather exciting.

It has developed for years, not because it's unseen, but because guys like you just don't have a clue.

My old corp and I jumped into WH when they very first came about years ago, setup a POS and learned a lot, we were all just carebare PVE guys.....after around 60 days the sites dried up and we packed up and left, not really knowing much about how the whole WH systems worked or the whole statics thing, not even sure what kind of static we had at the time lol


I have just recently rejoined WH space, and my god has WH become one of the most advanced, metagamed worlds within EVE and its hidden to most eyes. I thought Null Sec blocs had lots of interconnected comms, out of game applications and intel channels..... WH have it beat 3 fold easy

The live stream instantly updated WH maps that graph out everywhere you and your corp mates have gone into (giving you a drawn out pathway of all the WH and how they are connected) is the most amazing map I have ever seen...it puts dotlan to shame

Is there a status quo bias? Saying WH space works perfect seem to contradict a lot of voices and the stats tbh. 5% of the population seem pretty low, at least if its so good?

widdened the hole a little bit depending on your ship size versu hole size.

Thanks for an actual post. No real comment on the concept, but still better than getting a single line with no content.

Is it not a bit like saying that PI works perfectly because my factory setups are fully optimized and my cycle activity fits with my current real life time frames.

There seem to be an aversion to change, except if and when it specifically boosts peoples biz.

I do not really have any direct interest in WH space, only from the perspective of what I would tell new players to try. As it is I would be rather hesitant suggesting WH, because it seems a lot like a pocket dead end game aspect of EVE. Def not something open to newcomers or am I missing something?

What exactly is so horrible about having a mechanic that allows partial control of WH access and routes into the hands of player activity?

What if it was something like 500 brand new systems that worked pretty much like current WH space, with a few variation, but connected using a system like described? Would it still be so terrible?

What I am saying is the change aversion is natural, but if we are to expect 10 more years, would anyone prefer WH mechanics to remain the same? Personally I think all the current systems in EVE needs a lot more player direct interaction and effects, and a ton of new dynamic npc aspects. The latest nice article on things I believe is the correct direction was on the Mittani recently.

I really do not understand the opposition?

People are perfectly happy throwing swarms of ships at freighter, miners and other fleets, but strategically suiciding to collapse a WH or limit its size is a problem?

Also its preferable to have only collapse option, and needing to cycle statics to get new destinations, instead of planing and maintaining WH with destinations that benefits the denizens?

The next logical step for w-space would be to seriously overhaul POSes and see what that does to the landscape and the population. I don't think you understand the degree to which people who live in w-space master the ability to get wherever they want to go. Wormhole stabilizers or expanders aren't "engaging new mechanics", they're cheat codes to bypass stealth, skill, and understanding of the terrain.

The current mechanics seem to force players to take a degree in WH to even explore it.

Ferns and trees worked fine for millenia before flowers evolved, but they are related.
I am just asking the biologists so to speak what would be the next logical step for WH space, and giving a suggestion of something I could imagine would be very engaging new mechanics.

I understand habits. I just dont see why WH space can not evolve?

Nobody said it can't. Again, why does everyone pull out this "OMG nobody wants to change, BS"

I'll keep this simple. The issue is not that people don't want WH's to change. The issue is that your proposals for change are just plain BAD.

One of the beauties of WH space currently is that CCP did a great job so that they haven't needed to be adjusted. They have evolved as well. But the evolution has been player driven. Which is the way it should be.

If you read through the thread you would have seen that I suggested this as a new seeding of WH-like systems.

I also gave arguments for why I would find an idea like Phase Space interesting.

The changes I suggest or rather the addition will make a lot more sense as new aspects and changes enter from other features. many of which I directly refer and link to..

Yes, the "my idea is obviously crap so I will hedge my bets by recommending it be part of some new space". I read it.

That article on Themittani.com is also largely crap. It had some tidbits of interesting stuff, but overall it is yet another "have CCP hard code dynamics that limit players rather than let the metagame evolve the world on its own"
