As a wormhole dweller who has lost 3 capital fleets to ganks within the last 6 months, I completely disagree with this change. It's already dangerous enough without delaying K162 visibility. We've been able to avoid ganks a couple times by noticing a new sig pop up, but we've also been caught during sites by well-organized fleets who open the K162 and immediately jump through and throw out combat probes.
I'm not sure why you want to make wspace more dangerous than it already is. The amount of isk that is invested in a capital escalation fleet is higher than any other PVE activity in the game. People can move in while you're asleep and setup the perfect logoff trap. People can come in through a K162 and close it with dreads before it even shows up on your sig list.
If you are trying to significantly lower the number of people who live in wormholes, this is the way to do it. You're trying to create more PVP content, which I admire, but in my opinion this will have the opposite effect. Smaller corps like mine are already at a huge disadvantage and are getting tired of being ganked. A huge change like this is going to be the last straw that forces me to close up shop and leave wspace forever. |

Many people seem to think that it wouldn't be fair to people running sites or whatever in wormholes, but in reality running sites right now is pretty much a zero risk affair, and even prior to sigs being shown immediately on the probe scanner, with just a core scanner probe at 64 AU you could achieve the same thing. Granted you are still subject to logoff traps, but it's pretty much risk free pve.
Says the guy who kills capital escalation fleets for a living. You killed my corp's escalation fleet twice and just killed my friend's fleet the other day. This is hardly "risk-free PVE". Granted, a lot of days are quiet and uneventful PVP-wise, but they're made up for by days when you get dunked by either a logoff trap or a big fleet jumping through a fresh K162. |

This gives the 'defenders' a good 20 seconds minimum notice before the scanner has a chance to arrive on grid with the wh, let alone jump through and make an impact. On the other hand under the new proposed mechanic a skilled dscanner will have been able to identify the location of a potential site running fleet before the K hole becomes visible (given that most occupied holes will have a handful of anoms max - an expo fleet would be harder to find). A much better change would be that K holes only appear once someone has jumped through from the other side. This gives both 'sides' an equal chance to find targets/gtfo without introducing hilariously broken situations where a gank could be taking place before the sig appears.
This is a great compromise and removes a very annoying mechanic. |
