No. I'm honestly content with the current mechanics, I don't think the mechanics need to change to make it easier or whatever for me or my corp, and I find the idea that our pvp record or whatever is the reason I proposed these ideas to be somewhat insulting.
I posted these ideas at Proclus's suggestion, because they seemed interesting and might be interesting to talk about. But clearly we're just far too bad at space to contribute to the super serious wormhole discussions. Clearly everything we suggest is coloured by how utterly terrible we are, we couldn't possibly ever put forward an interesting idea. Of course. overpredictable answer, but wrong. my answer was not to u, as long as u ignore my questions its pretty pointless to me to ask u smth. My answer was to the quote in my post, why should people pay attention for ever great idea what come to ur friends mind? Bigger diameter? srsly? I like to pilot Stiletto, this is probably my favorite ship, and now i can use it to catch some sneaky scanners, i have far less from 100% efficiency in this, but still its possible. With bigger diameter it will be much more complicated to decloak and kill the target. This is one of the points why im not happy with ur idea. Is this the dialog what u wanted to keep? So may be instead of whiny answers about low skilled player discrimination (i bet u like this word) u can put some light on ur point of view? As far its just something about kiting tactics and more variability in ships fielded, btw first statement is wrong cose kiting tactic could be used now( and ive seen it smth like 2 weeks ago), jam webbers and take any distance u want, and second statement is just proving my point in prev ansver: if u dont know how to use ships, that doesnt mean that ships cant be used.
I agree p much. There is no reason for a larger diameter wormhole. It's really not an interesting concept, and what Rudin is trying to get at is that while you may think it is interesting, people who are better than you at the game don't, for legitimate reasons. Nobody responds well to being called bad, but in this case really anybody worth their salt in pvp understands that a larger diameter WH is a dull and contrived idea at best and offers nothing gameplay wise.
Kiting fleets are already used effectively, there is no issue, and quite frankly the difference between the way that gates and WH's work is what makes w-space, well, w-space. A larger wormhole just makes it harder to lock down that wormhole, I would imagine the effect would be quite similar to the differences between regional and system gates in eve. It's virtually impossible to regularly catch people on regional gates in eve, just because the gate is so gigantic. There is no good reason to implement this sort of mechanic into w-space.
To the OP, I can understand trying to discuss new wormhole mechanics, but frankly w-space works perfectly fine the way it is, just people like to talk about new mechanics because they itch for new content. I think new content is fine, but it shouldn't be in the form of core mechanics, rather in PVE content, new wormhole effects/systems/dual statics, where the impact of the changes is largely compartmentalized and will not have wide sweeping changes to the way that w-space life currently is. |
