i agree we should have more dynamic connections both from wormhole to another wormhole but would be great if more connections from k-space to wormhole and vice versa.

well theres problem with flux generator upgrade it does not generate wormholes at all in upgraded nullsec systems it should be looked into and to be fixed.

[quote=Bleedingthrough]Could we get fixed signature IDs?
Signature ID change after DT is a pain in the ass. You basically have to probe down your pipe twice if you want to be sure about connectivity. quote]


No. just no.


On another note, can we get the ability to split the probe scanner and d-scan from the same nested window?

How about you support why you would say no to that? Its an idea I think will not greatly change things for good or bad, and quite honestly I've found myself sighing in the morning while staring at the siggy list knowing I'll have to scan everything down again.

Fine.


Because seeing which sigs are new vs from downtime is a very usefull way to judge activity and sort likely WH canidates from systems with 20+ sigs.

If you jump into a system 16 hours into a day with only two new sigs its a good bet that the new sigs are potentially k162s. It makes chasing down activity to shoot at easier. Like following breadcrumbs.

Beating a dead horse here, but for the love of raptor space jesus:

ALLIANCE BOOKMARKS.

Hopefully this might make it in when CCP revamps alliance/corp mechanics.

Alliance bookmarks.

Simple fix: 10 corp divisions instead of 6?

some things:

- revisit c1 and c2 site loot and salvage. seems too low for the effort and risk involved and c2 sites often pay less than those in c1.

well theres problem with flux generator upgrade it does not generate wormholes at all in upgraded nullsec systems it should be looked into and to be fixed.

Making spotting wormholes based on the sig easier so it's faster to chain-out.
******* gas and data sites clogging up mah beautiful scans T.T

No. just no.

It attually does work it just doesn't work how 99% of people think and so people assume its broken. Its not ideal though I will say that

Non-WH specific things:


Overview:
Setting up the overview correctly is a pain.. This should be made easier, less tideous. And if you say "all ships" would be great that when CCP release a new ship, its automatically included in that overview ;) It's great that you can tweak something to the amount of detail that is now possible.

If CCP are not convinced this is needed, ask them to once set-up an overview for when flying logistics (on a character that also has contacts with standings).


Fleet Broadcast settings:
The ability to save your broad cast settings, maybe even tie them to a ship type or even integrate it with the overview. Even if you just had a right click dropdown menu to select 'armor logi' or 'shield logi' or 'dps' etc would help: set-up once, save, and you got your custom pre-set broadcast settings.


chat channels:
The way the interface is set up now, if you get too many (corp, alliance, local, your intel channel, a logi channel, some public channels, than maybe you have some social channels etc), you can't read the tabs no more, or they are just hidden.. or, it blocks your entire screen. Also chat channels seem to change positions every time you log in.. "local" sometimes is not the first channel, and alliance/corp is somewhere in the middle.. I would like to be able to adjust the position as well.

Possible solution: Would be great if you could group some chats in one tab (public channels of other corporations), group a tab for private convo's, have the tabs not horizontally next to one another, but vertically (so you can read more than jsut 2 letters).

Email:
Would be great to have a search function in your email. And I personally (but maybe I am the only one), would like to be able to not just tag an email with a label, but to just drag them to a folder. Also, would be great to improve mailing list moderation.

I'm 99% sure it will be NDA but I'll ask if information about it can be released, but i'm pretty sure they will say no. But as i've said it does work its just not great how it works.

CCP should give up the ghost on the whole ice thing, and add some random ice anoms to W-space



Actually rebalance T3s, make them what they are supposed to be, modular ships: what this means is you never need a depot to refit, you can refit on the fly, even while in warp.

Also probably nerf T3s stats somewhat in terms of raw dps and ehp, but add some new subsystems, a logistic subsystem, and a mass reduction subsystem (probably a navigation one) then use this as a blueprint for adding new T3s, i.e. frigate and battleship (a t3 frigate that could be a command ship for frigate roams would be particularly nice to have)

Allow people who anchor a TCU to "name" their system. I know you pubbies love to name your holes weird things.

A depoyable that is disposable, that extends the time or mass of a wormhole.

On another note, can we get the ability to split the probe scanner and d-scan from the same nested window?

THIS SO MUCH!

There is already a logi sub, just the range sucks.

A rig or low slot item that reduces the mass of a ship (hopefully enough that battleships could enter into C2s)

Battleships can enter C2s. Even Orca

This issue is only known to people that play around dt. Most US-players don't even know sigs do that.

This camera setting is very useful while d-scanning (e.g. when looking for POSes, confirming a ship warped to a gate). However, in most other situation you want your default camera setting. Switching between these camera settings is a bit inconvenient since both camera settings are on different hotkeys.

Improvement request: Make the hotkey for GÇ£Tracking Camera: Center Tracking PositionGÇ¥ work like an on/off switch.

I also wish the map settings window didn't open every time i view the solar system map.

Yeah sorry I fatfingered the number key. Meant C1s

Thank you for the Initiative Corbexx.

My "little things list".

1) Remove ore sites from the known signatures and make people probe them out (this was a silly change to wh space).

2) The personal ship maintenance array needs to be created/released. This goes along with the fixing of pos roles but this one is a biggie for alot of corporations.

3) Someone mentioned it before. Split the Dscan and probe window into two separate detachable windows.

4) Add ice to wormhole space. Will people strip ice in wormholes, I don't know, but give them the option to do so if they so want to.

5) Remove sleepers from C1 through C3 relic/data sites. If a person daytrips in a covops and scans one down, let them do it without having to bring a combat ship (this one is optional, some people like the sleeper loot).

6) Ability to build pos modules in a pos

7) Ability to assemble a T3 in a pos.

8) Allow us to create auto delete bookmarks (when creating a bookmark, add a checkmark box saying "Temporary bookmark". It auto deletes itself after 72 hours (3 days). Can make it a dropdown list also (duration, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours). With that, set a role where a corp person can only set corporation bookmarks that are temporary, and cannot delete any.

@Corbex if you want to test farming in a C2 or subcap farming of C5s in a static under real conditions contact me.

No specific idea. Just a word of caution. There are several ideas in here that will make it much easier for larger folks to wonk up on smaller groups. If WH changes are to benifit one group over the other (larger vs smaller in this case) I would hope the CSM and CCP can see the wisdom in leaning toward aiding the smaller groups. If I recall correctly, the point of WH space is to avoid blobs and large meta hoo haw. (me definition of small gang is less than 20 - not less than 100)

It seems there is an influx of prior null guys (which is great !- more guys are better), but with it there is also an increased desire to make WH space more nullish. I would hope we can resist changes that will over time creep WH space from it's roots.

Sometimes small changes have large results - please be careful.

I'm 99% sure it will be NDA but I'll ask if information about it can be released, but i'm pretty sure they will say no. But as i've said it does work its just not great how it works.

Randomness in sleeper spawns. I shouldn't be able to have a list of exactly what spawns where, and which sleepers are triggers.

Sleepers occasionally camping wormholes would be nice.

I completely agree and tbh one of the issues is the people from bigger groups tend to be more vocal as well.

but i'm be looking everything when i sort this thread in to a short list and little people won't get **** on if i can help it.

one of my main reasons to run was to help them. and get more people moving in.

Simple little thing:

Disregard any comment that is directly PvP beneficial with no thought to pve players (and vice versa)

E.g. more statics / removing discovery scanner / forcing wh openings (cannot close off system)

Return Ore sites to Red Signature: Mining in W-Space is one of the most dangerous activities you can do. Back when they were Red Signatures you at least had protection in seeing probes on Dscan. As Green Anomalies that safety is gone and the miner is at the mercy of it's natural predators. Moving these back to Red Signatures would return the degree of safety back to miners, as well as making things interesting for those who hunt them as it used to be. This only needs to be a W-Space change, K Space can stay as it is. As an addition, making the Signature harder to scan down would also be nice.

Drifting Wormhole: Over DT, something is done to the precise location of the WH. As such after DT it is in a slightly different location, anywhere from a few hundred meters up to a dozen kilometres. This means remaking bookmarks for WH's along the entire chain so they're accurate. Having the WH not drift over DT by either doing whatever is causing the shift in location at initial spawn or just not drifting it would be nice.
Additional possibility: Embrace the drift. Have the WH every 15 minutes to two hours randomly drift in a random direction up to 100km. This would shake up WH camps into something a bit more chaotic.

Update BM location: Recreating bookmarks when they're wrong is a bit of an annoyance. Having inside the Right Click menu for the Bookmark the option to either update to current co-ords or update to current selected object's co-ords would be amazing.

Offgrid spawns: Occasionally one of the C4 Data or Relic sites spawns Sleepers off-grid. Sorry I can't remember which one exactly it is. I don't know if this is fixed or I just haven't seen it in a while.

New environment backgrounds: Can we get our space extra pretty as well please :)
Side Note: Can the C1 and C2 backgrounds be made more different. They're pretty close at a glance currently, especially when looking at it as part of a WH effect. A nice pretty green for C1's.

Security Status reset: Currently there's no way to change your security status in W-Space. If you go in negative, stay for a few years and come out you're still negative. It's be nice if gradually over time Concord "forgot" about you. Have the Sec Status slowly degrade towards zero (From both positive and negative) the longer you stay out of K Space. Something like the equivalent of ratting a single frigate for each day. Each day beyond one the strength of the sec status change could get slightly stronger so those who don't hit K-Space in any way for long periods, months for example, would get pretty decent sec status changes.

Epithal and Warp Core Stabilisers: 4 core stabbed Epithals. Needing 5 points of disruption to stop one of these is kind of ridiculous. Especially since the stabs don't do anything negative to the performance of the hauler. A reduction of lows or changes to the warp core stabiliser to make it's negative effects something relevant to non PvP ships would be best.
Noctis and Mobile Tractor Unit: The MTU has pretty much invalidated the existence of the Noctis. Can we get a rebalance on these so they have individual uses. Or better yet, send the MTU out back and burn to to death with a flamethrower.

WH Polarisation: Polarisation timers are directional A>>>B and B>>>A. For newer WH people this is confusing as from the players point of view, the WH is one object and having multiple separate timers is odd. Could these be squashed into the one timer, so A>>>B and B>>>A use the one timer. It should probably be rebalanced into a shorter timer overall as well if this is done.
Additional possibility: Have the polarisation timer modify based on the ship flown. Ideally off of Sensor Strength as this'd give a nice buff to larger ships, who could transit WH's faster. It's also give a nice buff to ECCM.

Hide 0% sigs: Currently under the Discovery Scanner a layer is alerted to a new signature whenever the Discovery Scanner wIndow refreshes itself. This is done automatically by the Scanner to an invisible timer and can also be forced by changing the sort of any of the columns or toggling the anomalies button. Due to the way WH's are spawned this means that people in the arriving system know about an incoming WH before the person who initiated warp to the WH arrives at that WH. There's been talk about a delay on the signature appearing before in a megathread but ideally the fix is simple. any signature at 0% inside W Space does not show up in the Probe Scanner Window. This would revert the system to the old way. The good way.

Wtf. Create more complications, undo good changes, make PvP easier for the lazy that don't adapt to hauler changes... Is this a troll or am I your exact opposite?

I'd like to see more random variation to hole mass and lifetime as well, there have been many separate changes to EVE during the years which have reduced the risk of moving around in wormholes, it would be interesting to have some of the dangers back. Yes, some people get their panties in knots over unpredictable collapsing, but getting trapped a) "creates content" using the crappiest FOTM term ever and b) leads to adventures.

Randomness in sleeper spawns. I shouldn't be able to have a list of exactly what spawns where, and which sleepers are triggers.

Wtf. Create more complications, undo good changes, make PvP easier for the lazy that don't adapt to hauler changes... Is this a troll or am I your exact opposite?

I know this isn't a discussion thread but i don't think random spawns will improve anything.

Random spawns will force everyone to run sites with the minimum number of ships (namely logistics) to run a full site. It would effectively remove small gang PVE from wormhole space and encourage corporation to grow just to make isk.

I also agree. I like the changes....noctis isnt useless...8 salvagers and go.

WH Polarisation: Polarisation timers are directional A>>>B and B>>>A. For newer WH people this is confusing as from the players point of view, the WH is one object and having multiple separate timers is odd. Could these be squashed into the one timer, so A>>>B and B>>>A use the one timer. It should probably be rebalanced into a shorter timer overall as well if this is done.

It sounds like this would mess around with the current situation that is "fight on the hole, jump out if you get low". Also, what if you accidentally jumped through the hole? Then you'd end up stuck on the other side?

can we get the ability to split the probe scanner and d-scan from the same nested window?

List (sorry I would have copied it but out of space/characters)

Never thought about manufacturing Sleeper modules, structures or even ships... and I'm really liking the idea... Good one!

So yeah, wormhole generators "work", they just work in a very laid back, casual way. There are a certain number of wormholes shared between all systems with each level of the wormhole generator upgrade, which scales more-or-less linearly with number of upgrades installed, and they move around between those systems in the same way that normal exploration sites do.

It's not a very good upgrade as it currently stands, but neither is it "broken" per se. (At least as far as we are aware - and the system involved is sufficiently generic and widely-used that I would be very surprised if there was anything wrong with it. If this was broken, anomalies would almost certainly be broken too, and we'd know about that.)

Roaming sleepers - sleepers should travel through wormhole space, not just wait in sites to be killed. The more sites you run, the more roaming sleepers you awaken.

Wormhole information window - update the text to more accurately describe the wormholes condition. Most of us already know what end of life means

Sigs and session change - remember what sigs are ignored and the scan results after a session change.

CCP wormhole mapping tool - Third party development is great but it's time ccp made a mapping tool so everyone had this advantage.

New sig appearance - New sigs should not show up unless probed.

Signature ID change - IDs should not change after downtime

Ore sites - You should have to probe them to find them like in the good old days

Dual statics for everyone! - Some C3 to C6 systems should have 2 or more statics

Battleship mass reduction - A BS only mod should be introduced, which reduces the mass of battleships to create more variety in fleets.

C5/C6 data/relic sites - Reduce the number of sleepers in these sites so small gangs or solo players have PEV content in high class wormholes.

D-scan inhibitor - These should not show up on d-scan. They should only be detectable using combat probes.

Blackhole systems - Turn them into industrial wormholes like Chitsa wanted! Increased ore sites, ice belts, bonuses to research/invention/manufacturing and better PI yields.

Bookmark visibility - We should be able to see bookmarks in space


That's all... for now...

Is this the same way the DED site upgrades work (which have always been assumed to be broken)?

Yup.

The difference being that DED site upgrades "work" in a way that is at least beneficial and welcome to the owners of the space, whereas the wormhole generators are just a means to invite more bored wormhole pilots to come in and roam your space and kill your ratters.

Someone cast "summon dev"?

This comes up for me during escalations, but please make it possible to "untag" a ship in the overview. Right now if you accidentally tag the wrong ship or want to switch to a different set of sleepers due to range you can't remove a tag. This makes things very confusing.

Your upgrade should come with a downside.

- Fewer cans at the data/relic sites, the current number is more of the hacking game than I want to sit through.

Why not? Give something to get something. Most upsides in eve have downsides to balance them. Mayhaps you are too accustomed to having it both ways.

Mostly, when I warp to a wh anom (C5) - I'm all in. Webbed, scrammed, neuted. I have to survive the whole thing and hold the field to loot and salvage. Comparatively the null bear warps in and out as he chooses, has local and gets bounties as he goes.

I've spent my whole eve life hearing how greater risks reap greater rewards and that's the benefit of living in null. Let's be honest - null is pretty much easy mode. Power blocks, blues, local, constellation wide intel channels. It would be nice to see a little risk for your isk.

Anytime I bring up anom rats scramming a ratter null folks are like.... OMG.... that's just dumb, and then a kitchen sink full of reasons that should never happen. You guys crack me up.

This thread is for little things to make wh life better. Null systems w/ the wh upgrade should get sleepers in system scramming them. THAT would make wh life better.

I'll take your dismissal as a sign of defeat. You have no valid argument. Perhaps you could call me a name or link some spreadsheet showing where eve subscriptions would plummet if null rats scrammed. I've seen all the 'arguments'

It would hurt your tax income, defeat most botting programs and allow WH folks to drop in and do a happy dance all over your bottom line (cuz you can't defend you systems????)

I get it. Believe me - I get it.


I still want what I want. This isn't a debate. I've been dismissed by better.

Canada has an airforce. See my point???

Canada has an airforce. See my point???

I love Canada btw !!!



I'll recap and let this go.

I want sleepers to get into systems w/ a wh upgrade. Some null sec residents want to argue about it.

The difference being that DED site upgrades "work" in a way that is at least beneficial and welcome to the owners of the space, whereas the wormhole generators are just a means to invite more bored wormhole pilots to come in and roam your space and kill your ratters.

I'm not going to let it go. You sort of missed my point in the first place, which is that the so-called upgrade isn't. Right now it essentially reads "please voluntarily install this to get access to a area of space you don't care about and in exchange more people who want to shoot you can get to your space more easily." Needless to say there is a reason why no renter has ever asked me to install one of these upgrades, ever. You're then proposing to add the line "and oh yeah, because some wormholer believes you think this is an actual benefit, this upgrade also spawns NPC interceptors all over the place, because he's too lazy to tackle people himself."

If you want the upgrade to be changed so as to be an improvement to wspace life, give nullsec system owners a reason to actually want to install it. For example, if installing one meant that (in addition to the extra wormholes themselves) my existing anomalies also occasionally spawned small sleeper patrols, other small groups appeared on gates, in belts, etc. and larger groups appeared in their own sites, all of which could escalate based on rules similar to those in existing wspace sites, that would be attractive. That would be something I could look at and go, ok, travel and regular solo pve is a risk if I install this because of the small patrols, but on the other hand those groups and the larger ones mean a few levels of group pve content, so this is worth installing in some systems.

Alternatively, it's a way for your small gangs to come into W-Space and potentially get fights. Sadly almost every null gang I've encountered gets to a wormhole and stops like they're missing a magic key. :(

Roaming sleepers - sleepers should travel through wormhole space, not just wait in sites to be killed. The more sites you run, the more roaming sleepers you awaken.

5. Hide the system name of the wormhole. People already use tools to determine how many moons and planets there are, or who lives there by looking at J sig. Make it so it is a bit harder for players to understand where they are. I know players would make sure eventually to come up with tools which tell which system it is but for a while it would be hilarious chaos.

11. Visual representation of polarization timer. It can be a bit tricky as there can be multiple polarization timers. The most simple solution to show the longest one.

22. Give sleepers ability to randomly drop sleeper Faction/Dead-space loot.

23. Give security status increase for killing sleepers. Drones have it now so sleepers should.

It attually does work it just doesn't work how 99% of people think and so people assume its broken. Its not ideal though I will say that

Im fairly certain that flux generator does establish more incoming connections, but they are k162 incoming, therefore they must be opened from the other side to appear in your null. So, potential wormholes are there, but to activate you need dudes on the other side. Which, obviously, makes it useless.

Most common wormhole in C5s is a K162 from null sec, so obviously there is interest to using wormhole space, most commonly nullseccers use wormholes as routes to empire space.

However the second part I don't understand. You already have an upgrade that spawns wormholes into an easily secured system containing sleepers worth of billions, but you'd want some mini-versions to spawn inside your null sec system instead? Why not simply raid the wormhole system for the anoms?

Most important.

delayed local while jumping from wh to k-space for pvp.

I need....just.....10....seconds...... to get a warp-able hit on that ratting ishtar :)

To be honest.. It should not just be delayed, but until you reach a gate or a station, it shouldn't even detect there is someone in local, let alone the name of the pilot.

2. Ability to deploy more then 8 probes - a dedicated max skilled prober should be able to monitor more then 2 locations at once.

3. Ability to move probe clusters around independent of one another. lets say I launch 2 clusters of probes, 4 each, and monitor 2 distinct locations on the solar map - a gate and station for example - this is for PvP obviously. Then if I need to move 1 set of probes from station to another gate, I would need to drag individual probes down to new position via shift-key. it should be quick. a pre-set deploys 4 combat probes, they are grouped into cluster A. another click deploys another set, cluster B. Can move and re-size clusters independently of one another.

4. Delayed k162 spawn timer, by like 30 seconds or so.

5. Enable smartbombing on wormholes - or exclusively in red giants. it can get gay I know, but as it stands smartbomb camps should be viable in a red giant.

And that's fine - they have amassed an empire, so it's natural to want to wield it. All I want to do is come out of my wh and gank the crap out of them before they can run to safety.

In your opinion, do you think more renter would use the upgrade if it was changed in such a way?

Edit: corbexx, sorry for going off topic...

How about just fixing small POS then? they're a little thing, relatively speaking.


More seriously though if we're looking at small changes how about making it possible to fly Capital ships OUT of those lower class wormholes, even if it was only through connecting Low sec and Null sec wormholes.

Some PvP corps might find it worth attacking those systems to steal floating capital ships. and the indy corps in those lower classes might start producing more capitals to sell.

could be dumb, could need some tweaking, but it might remove the feeling of safety people have by building a capital in those holes. and attacking them could yield some interesting results instead of just a self destructed capital ship.

- Making BH's missile friendly. Right now no system effects help missiles (excepting Wolf-Rayets, partially), and BH's in particular are negative towards them. Giving BH's bonuses to, let's say, missile max speed and explosion velocity (or perhaps even explosion radius too) would make them shine on there. They could be systems where Caldari POS could be really good... if they get updated to not needing CPU to use their launchers (and thus not losing their weapons when entering reinforced mode), which by the way I think would be very reasonable. It would also help the Phoenix.

Other little things:

More unknowns: Not necessarily turning all sleeper sites into Quarantine Areas, but at least having spawn trees, so you can get different things at any given wave, e.g., "do we get the neuting wave or the dps wave?" Makes things a little more interesting without being completely unpredictable.

More unknowns: Sleepers where you don't expect them. "decoy" WH sigs that are in fact sleeper traps. Better than sleepers spawning on WHs at random because it doesn't make logistics miserable hell.

More unknowns: Little unexpected behaviors. Random and/or rare pop-ups in some sites. Mysterious ships that appear and then vanish before you can kill them, as some missions have. NPC local broadcasts surrounding some events, like a new hole spawning or a new combat site. Or better yet, things that respond to player kills.

Give us some ******* mysteries, we came here for the unknown.

The little things? Lol how could everyone miss the fact that sleepers still don't have moving turrets? I mean great hulls in all but the Lasers and missiles still appear out of thin air (well space) usually several km from the ship itself. On top of that introduce sleeper version of mods by way of fragmented sections of blueprints in order to make a complete BP or something to that effect. That way the wormhole community can have its own monopoly on something in the game besides fun.

Pulsar increase your sig radius wich directly helps missiles, phoenix is a complete monster in a pulsar since it gets easier to hit with it and it also increases the shield hp wich makes the resist and lots of mid slots insanely powerful.

People might get angry with me for this one but... oh well.

Why are sleepers not affected by the system effect? If you take a system and use the advantages, you should also deal with the fact the sleepers have these advantages too.

they used to get effected by some but not others. was inconsistent so it all went away.

I dont think they should be. would make it almost impossible to run sites in a magnetar, and really damn easy in a pulsar.

Come on guys... it is an idea that shouldn't be implemented without tweaking it. The idea is that if you choose a system for its affect, it is odd that you have the advantages of that while running sites, but not the disadvantages. There should be changes made to make it more equal. But sleepers being not affected by it at all is also not equal over all effects...

OK, so I'll say this. Auto spawning of a closed static is a small gourp killer. This is a great thing for large groups and a deal breaker for smaller corps.

6) The Rorqual/Pod Clone Swap idea has been out there for a while, but why not just make a clone swap a new pos module. Heck even make killmails for it to see just how many pods you killed and the amount of implants that went boom. Its probably a easier concept to implement than a log on/log offable ship.

And if they could refit on the fly, you could be fighting gang that swaps from "zealot mode" to "curse mode" and caps you out instead of trying to kite you. They'd be like transformers, but with less Michael Bay and more pew pew.

Hi,


Wouldn't it be good/comfortable/helpfull if some logic will be hidden in WH signature.
I.e.:


Letter - WH type:
S - Static
W - Wandering (bonus)
X - exit (for K162 replacement)

1st and 2nd digit - class of source/target system:
0 - null,
1-6 C1...C6
7 LS
8 HS

3rd digit - maximum lifetime of WH in 4 hour increment (0 means 10x)

4rth digit - maximum allowed mass per jump

5th digit - maximum allowed total mass



So for example actual N110 definition is:

Name Type Departs from Region Constellations Total Count Lifetime mass/Jump max mass Sig Str
N110 static Class 1 2 & 3 all 215 24 hrs 20 Gg 1000 Gg 10.0%

That WH will be named:

S-18611and related K162 will became X-81611 .


This will make navigation in WH a lot easier to memorize.

Similar change could be done to J names of w-systems.

Uncle

5) Downtime sig IDs
I dont personally play too much around this time but its just annoying for people that already have a half hour in their playtime that the server is down it. it will just make it easier for them and wont affect really anyone else that I can think of. Its just making it hard for one tz while not affecting any other people. I just believe that this makes no sense. as most wormholes have life less then 24 hours it does not effect late eu and early us but effect right in the middle. if there is a reason for this please im all ears.

I know this isn't a discussion thread but i don't think random spawns will improve anything.

Random spawns will force everyone to run sites with the minimum number of ships (namely logistics) required to run a full site. It would effectively remove small gang PVE from wormhole space and encourage corporation to grow just to make isk..

escalate multiple days in a row

Thank you for reminding me!

Fix the broken respawn mechanics whereby it is possible to escalate C5/C6 sites, and shoot respawning battleships in L4 mission sites, multiple days in a row. You should get one set of escalations per site, and you should get one set of mission battleships per L4 site. It's easier to code the current method where you don't keep track and just reset everything at downtime, but it vastly over-inflates the value of capital escalations. And this is coming from someone who periodically benefits from capital escalations run over multiple days.

My rants on improvements/changes to wh space:



5) Just an idea. How about a device that instantly generates a wormhole in your system it is deployed. Device is destroyed
in the process, which could make for a very stunning effect that may or may not be even visible in the system the exit
will lead to. The kind of wh depends on a skill to be trained/kind of device used, or both. Only usable once every
4 hour. No, not like the quantum flux generator.

Let's see. Title says little things, people write walls of text. Forum working as intended

yeah, like all WH threads, this one ran its course of the first 3-4 pages.

This wouldn't change that, hes advocating that sigs already their before DT remain the same ID's, so any new sig gets a new ID, like it is now.

That would demolish a lot of C5 and C6 corps, small and large alike. A 4-capital escalation is worth 560m in blue loot, and around 100-120m in salvage, on average. For my corp, second and third day escalations formed approximately 50% of our overall income over the last 3 months. That's a massive cut in corp income just because the mechanics seem wonky.

If they were to cut 2nd and 3rd day escalations, they'd need to massively boost the value of the escalation waves themselves to compensate. Entire corporation infrastructures are based around average site income, changing that, especially by the margin you suggest, would be flat catastrophic.

I mean, as someone else pointed out, it's not like people are insanely exploiting that it (like they are Incursions). The logistics of living in WH space, the effective cap on the number of people that can comfortably live out of a POS, the very real risk of being evicted from your home on any particular day, and the lack of any reliable lines of backup or supply, already make WH life rather unstable. The rather lucrative escalation loot income is really the only thing that balances the risk of having the capitals in there to start with (since hot-dropping doesn't really exist as a concept in WH, at least compared to null).

Probe scanning:

2. auto hide all celestials overlapped by the probes box, it's annoying to try and click on the box while ditching them. I mean, when you hover over the box, auto hide any celestials\bm's overlapping it

When interacting with bookmarks, it would be nice if I could edit the text or change its folder from the in space right click menu.

You can edit bookmarks from People & Places, though it isn't as convenient. But you don't have to delete them and recreate them. The right-click in space option would be nice.


Not necessarily W-space specific, but it would be nice if changes in the corp wallet didn't cause wallet icons to blink for people who don't have access to it, such as when people do PI and pay taxes, corp payouts, etc.

If you are sitting on the wormhole it is way faster to just remake the bookmark rather then look for it in people & places.

I believe the issue described was incorrect identification of the system you were about to jump into, where only after you jump into the system do you find out that you were incorrect. You are no longer sitting on the wormhole on the correct side; right-clicking in space will not provide the bookmark for you any longer. Anyone for whom you are scouting can edit the entrance in your proxy. And this does not require anyone else to be at the hole on the entrance side, or even in the system.

Yes.
I agree.
It would be much more convenient to right-click in space, and then right-click the bookmark to edit it.
That option does not exist.
I suggested an alternate method to supplement the one presented as the only option.
Obviously do as you will, and forum-whine as appropriate, but don't change the description of the problem mid-stride.
