I do agree with the idea as it would mean more htfu in wspace. Wspace people can make a lot of isk and the space does not have local. It should be mysterious and unknown. I do understand people position to farm in peace but i do not understand your spirit of wspace.

I think what this change will do is not bigger praying on the weaker but rather stopping the log off gangs in favor of rolling gangs.

Overall I think the idea is also crap.

To recap as others have pointed out.

1. A PVP adverse group can easily roll their connection before you have a chance to scan them down.
2 You might as well remove grav sites as nobody in their right mind would ever mine again. Now I'm not a fan of Mining, but I respect those who do (and do enjoy occasionally running into them).

Now IMO a relatively easy comprimise is as follows. If I understand correctly the overlay scanner already only scans every 60 seconds? So at most there is a 1 minute delay. So just up the scanning interval. Say 15 minutes. You don't have to try and strip it out just for WH space, but it largely negates its use as a passive intel tool in all space.

And Mynnna, please keep your nose out of areas you have no understanding. A WH "ESS" is just a total BS idea given the nature of WH income to begin with.

Ok I am going to explain it to you like I would to a five year old. CCP has stated time and time before that there should be NO SAFE or fair spot in EvE. Not even in high sec, there should be risk and reward everywhere. W-Space is at the top of that risk-reward pyramid, it should be very dangerous and very profitable. However, due to the CONSTANT skill point creep of the player base it got to the point that if you collapse all connections and drop probes then it becomes fairly safe. Understand?

No I don't like this.
If someone takes the effort of dropping probes and actively watching them, there's zero reason why they should not be able to detect new sigs immediately.
This change would swing it too fart the other way.

Probes should detect the sigs immediately, overlay needs a delay.

OK...

How about a substantial delay before the sigs automatically show up on scanner, all across the board? Say 30 minutes for every class of hole. But you can probe them with probes from spawn. No delay for probing. At all. Zero. None.

I people don't want to Probe-Scan because they thing it is bad game-play... fine. Don't. Sig shows up anyway. Eventually.
And those that wants to have a securer op can probe-spam should they so choose.

Choice is good, right?
