bleh, thumbs down. To me, the only time this seems like a decent mechanic is when you have a WH with no non-static connections and static connections that haven't been opened yet (the mark of a PVE WH, collapse everything and don't open new static). And while I can appreciate what you're trying to accomplish with the additional risk factor, the fact is that WHs are dangerous enough as it is for the solo/small entity and this would disproportionately affect that group. Speaking within the timeframe of that invisible K162, by most measures, the one/two people in Tengus will be exponentially easier to trap and kill than the say 1-2 carriers/2-3 dreads + support(eg. typical C3 vs. C5 ratting). Yeah, maybe someone get's a good look at your C5 bear fleet, but what are the odds that someone has enough subcaps to attack the C5 group vs. the odds that they have enough to tackle one/two t3s? Not wildly in favor of the small guys and like I said WHs are uninviting enough to the single guy/small group.

yeah you really don't need probes out to see new sigs, just hit 'show' at the bottom (the button that restores hidden sigs) and if there's a new sig present the list will refresh. It's basically the exact same thing as pumping d-scan. Literally. Co-host and editor of Declarations of War Podcast http://declarationsofwar.com Twitter- @schertt |

this dude strikes an interesting point; there's a general sense that say, a c2 is 'safer' than the c6 when in fact they have a lot of identical mechanics and are ~basically~ at the same level of dangerous, using unbonused stars in this train of thought (cause there sure are enough of them). The wormholes operate mostly in the same way, just with mass restrictions. Sites, statics, planets, stars, no local, all of these things/concepts operate and function in the same way. The only thing that scales with the Class is difficulty of PVE sites. Inherently, does that mean the reason the C6 is "dangerous" in the first place is because you most likely have a larger, more organized, better equipped group of people living in that C6 compared to the C2? Kind of, I think. The small guys still face an unproportional amount of risk existing in WH space. Co-host and editor of Declarations of War Podcast http://declarationsofwar.com Twitter- @schertt |

A town hall with this little information on a huge mechanic change would be completely pointless. Picture rolls of tinfoil being thrown across a packed room. Co-host and editor of Declarations of War Podcast http://declarationsofwar.com Twitter- @schertt |

It would be with current CSM members, who have discussed this topic with CCP. This idea has been floating around in CSM circles for a while... So they can surely add valuable information regarding mechanics.
and the NDA will still prevent them from giving us anything of meaning, outside of anecdotal wisdom and gentle coddling if you're into that sort of thing.

So they can surely add valuable information regarding mechanics. and the NDA will still prevent them from giving us anything of meaning, outside of anecdotal wisdom and gentle coddling if you're into that sort of thing. My primary concern is to make sure that if the overall majority of wormhole space doesn't want a certain change, the current CSM members are in line with this and that we don't get to see CSM members voicing a different opinion then what the actual community wants. Then CSM members would mis-represent the community, and that is unacceptable. We can have a discussion about this subject without breaking the NDA.
I do understand your concern and concur with the intent: a majority decision is always better. Unfortunately there is no existing quantitative metric for these kinds of things and tbh, townhalls tend to be much more 'qualitative' than a widely accessible forum post.

Wormholes aren't messed up because you cant catch anyone; they're messed up because for years they've been completely ignored in the long-term design of EVE and left to gather dust in their 'little' corner of EVE. And you wanna pick it up, blow off the dust and wonder why you're not holding '2nd pass of tier 1 frigate' grade balance in your hand.

Sure, it's a pain, but it's no different in Lo. The scanning thing however mucks **** up real bad in W-space.
That's a point Bronya brought up to me earlier and it is a good one. If you could correct a few of those major EVE level issues everyone's lives would get easier. I guess there's an aspect of personal metric in there for me in that I enjoy seeing things iterated upon, not necessarily constantly changing but at least in some state of cycle or flux. Deep down I think I'm a bit disappointed with CCP's overall 1st attempt at unmapped space. Co-host and editor of Declarations of War Podcast http://declarationsofwar.com Twitter- @schertt |

CCP Fozzie wrote:Hey guys, thanks for the feedback so far.
One thing I want to clarify so that people don't panic, this proposal and any potential change on this scale would not be in the cards for the Summer expansion. We want to get the discussion going early with the intent of continuing it over time (especially at Fanfest).
That's cool cause I think a few of us there will have something to day about it lol Thank you for having the grace to get the ball rolling early Fozzie, we do appreciate that. Co-host and editor of Declarations of War Podcast http://declarationsofwar.com Twitter- @schertt |
