What are the current numbers (i.e., how much of an increase is this)? And can you give the numbers for hisec and nullsec, for comparison? I don't think I've ever seen these published before.

What we're proposing is to leave the number of low->high as is at a ~1% chance per system, kicking low->null up to ~9% per system, and low->low up to ~20% per system.

Anyone see any problems with this? :)

Or maybe a skill/module that provides some analysis of the wormhole's exit, on the grounds we've had enough experience with wormholes to tease out some of the science behind them?

Yeah, we generally don't talk about numbers for this sort of thing, I'm already out on a limb with what I've posted :)


WRT people concerned about mass limits, these are just more of the holes that are already there, so they take the same limits as current lowsec holes, and as far as freighters go, we're generally of the opinion that people trying to use lowsec wormholes for freighter logistics is a good thing for lowsec PvP :)

Does this come at the expense of Lowsec --> w-space WH spawn rate?

Any chance of these wormholes having a means of identifying just how far away they go? E.g. a dark red wormhole's exit would be within ~X lightyear radius, whereas a bright blue/white wormhole would exit, far, far, far away.

I ask because jumping into random wormholes gets a bit tedious.

well I guess this means we can get our sleeper loot to a trade hub more easily.

yay!

Regarding the "small fleet" angle of these holes, is it possible to mass-limit these types of holes so that they are primarily used for pvp, instead of as logistics shortcuts for freighters?

Think we could see a small bump in High - Null WH spawn rate?

You must learn to live in a wormhole. Freighters can only enter C5/C6 Holes. Let me break it down for you

Class 6 to High Sec = Freighters
Class 6 to Low Sec = Freighters, Carriers, etc..

Class 6 to Class 2 = NO Bueno

So essentially, anything coming out of a C4 to C1 can't have a capital brought through it, besides an orca.


I'm not sure HOW I like this. I live in a c2c3hs wormhole, and within the last 2 weeks, I've had 3 - 5 sigs in my home system, 2 - 3 being kspace holes. Frankly, I don't like it.

Seems as if CCP is determined to kill wormholes.



I don't think so. You just want a quick exit to bring more crap down. Nope. You live in null, stop trying to find easier ways to move crap out. Unlike you, we can't pop a cyno, and jump a JF. We actually have to WORK to get assets out.

Though, this would increase ganking too. I still believe null should have a 30 - 60s local delay.

Hi everyone,

During the lowsec roundtable at Fanfest, we were discussing the merits of lowsec, and someone said "a great thing about lowsec is that it's one of the best-connected areas of space".

Which we thought was interesting, and we thought about some more, and we said "hey, more wormholes, right?".

After some further discussion, internally and with the CSM, we decided it seemed like a good idea to increase the number of k-k (ie within known space - to high, low and null) wormholes in lowsec, aimed primarily at adding opportunities for small roaming fleets.

What we're proposing is to leave the number of low->high as is at a ~1% chance per system, kicking low->null up to ~9% per system, and low->low up to ~20% per system.

Anyone see any problems with this? :)

Jump probe. Volume 8m-¦. Launched at targeted Jump Gate or Wormhole from a Expanded Probe Launcher.

Approaches Gate/Hole and activates it. Once on the other side it does a 250km directional scan and registers the system identity. Then it putters back towards the Gate/Hole and jumps back. There it uncloacks and waits for retrieval or until the flight time expires. Once retrieved the scan data can be read out.

If it doesn't come out again, something must have shot it down. Or something else may come through in its stead.

Advantage: You know where you're going.

Disadvantage: Someone knows you're looking and it slows down travelling time.

FOOLS! Are ye that blind?!?

CCP: We need to nerf force projection.
CSM (aka Goonsquad): Eeeeeeeeeeek! I mean, okay...
Goonsquad + Goonleaderwaffles: *whisper*whisper*
CSM (aka Goonsquad): We need more wormholes in low-sec.


tl;dr- More wormholes == an end run around the Force Projection Nerf!


/taking away the tinfoil doesn't make it any less true

Nope, these changes don't affect the spawn chance of any other wormholes.

Regarding the "small fleet" angle of these holes, is it possible to mass-limit these types of holes so that they are primarily used for pvp, instead of as logistics shortcuts for freighters?
