How is that fair to me ?
Let's say I'm in a freighter, warping to the gate, having intel 10 system radius so I'm safe. But...I'm not since I have no signature on dscan.
Therefore, I live in 0.0 but in wh terms. That is not FAIR. Make this change if you want for connections with other wormholes, not high, lowsec or 0.0. How different is this compared to the old system? They scan down a WH, form a fleet, warp to nearby planet and align and fleetwarp to WH. You get maybe a 5-10 seconds early warning before they land on 0.0. Pre-patch, the moment you were warping to a wormhole, would appear a signature on the other side. Even like that, I had to refresh the scan to see it. So wasn't that easy even before patch. Now if you warp to a wormhole, no signature appears on the other side unless you jump through it. So if the attacker finds a wormhole has all the time in the world to prepare an attack. The defender has no clue ever what's about to happen. I find that not FAIR for the defender. This is an incredibly lazy and bearish attitude for someone living outside of highsec. There ARE boogiemen out there. Who the hell uses a freighter in nullsec, anyway? We have this exact mechanic down when running a PVE fleet inside a WH. It's called one person gets paid a cut of the sites to sit there, with combat probes out, and watch for anything that twitches: ship, probe, drone, sig, anom, ANYTHING. Then we can get the capitals to safety, reship to T3s, and see what fresh young thing gets to be our victim for interrupting a fleet in action. Edit: So I guess what I'm trying to say is, rather than trying to fly a lumbering lootbagmobile through null on your own, hire someone or have friends scout for you. Dude...what's to scout if you have no signature on scan ? What can you do when the local fills up in a second out of nowhere ?
you dock or move to a pos or move to next system. If your are flying around null sec with webs on the freighter.
And you realize that's how sites are run in wh's they don't have the magic of local to tell time a gang just entered system to safe up their capitals.
the other assumption made is that the people on the other side of the wh know exactly what they are getting into. They don't once they jump they still have to locate you. |
