If it does, do they interact with us?
If on of those questions in no then the system hasn't done us any good and shuld be altered , if not then we might have jumped the gun to fast... .
So far there has been an increase of people entering holes. I fair few leave right away. I mean just that: the junp straight out again. Others scan further and travel around. I few actually do anything.
I roam holes quite a bit. Personally I've seen fewer fights, and those fights I've seen is with people who thought that w-space is pretty much like hisec. On many occasions, an alarming number of them, all I see when I enter through a hole I opened are wrecks. The locals are behind their POS shields.
I agree the article Penny wrote wholeheartedly. The implementation is the death of non-concensual PvP. Just like local is in Lo/Null. |

W-space is (imo) supposed to be a much harsher environment to be in and being told immediately when a new wh opened into your system removes a huge portion of the possible pvp opportunites in w-space. I've spent almost a year living in w-space and the need to be paranoid about who's in your system is something that I enjoy about w-space. The current mechanic comes as close to adding a local as is possible without actually doing it and us w-space dwellers like our space discovery scanner free. edit: just came back to the game so I didn't realize there are sites in w-space that are warpable to without the need to scan them down (which is another horrible idea btw) so both need removing at the same time otherwise it would be far too advantageous for the ones that opened the wh.
Totally with you. Swapping between being carabear(ish) and predatory myself and I must say that I much more preferred it when I had to combat scan miners down. About the only chance a miner have to evade a cloaky aggressor was to notice probes.
I can not understand why the Grav sites where made anomalies (shows up at 100% without probes) and gas/ladar remained signatures. Any reasoning that the grav sites should be easier to find does not sound plausible due to the fact that in w-space people have the ability to scan anyway. The more conspiratorial part of me says that the old subject of "we want less ABC ores coming out of W-space" could be a real reason. |

You should have to work for your security. -1 The Discovery Scanner is fine the way it is. Some people here act like its scanning Ships or something.  There is always a static or two in your Wormhole. You have to cloak up at 100km, hit D-Scan all the Time and always have your Eyes on the Overview, so you dont miss this 1 second a Covert Ops shows up. How much more work do you want ?
It's not the work-load that I/we "want". What I want is the iniscurity, the tension, the unknown. The excitement of being unsure weather the T3's are setting up for to hit us just as we kill the last Sleeper. And I want to be able to do that to others. |

The whole premise and purpose of cloaky ships is that they can't be detected. I hardly consider it appropriate to make them detectable. I'm not sure that's what you're suggesting though.
That the Grav sites are now anomalies instead of signatures is a poor choice in my opinion. Even though I've lived in W-space for years I've mined for... 3 times? I've tried and gank miners as often I've had the opportunity though and I really liked the challenge of trying to scan the mining site down without the miners noticing. Being in cloaky ships I figure it was the miners best defense - to keep vigilant. I'm pretty crap at scanning so they got away more often than not. |
