As is stands, capital escalations in C5s and C6s are far too easily exploited in red giant and magnetar type wormholes due to the consistent spawn location of the sleepless guardian battleships. In a red giant, with the requisite number of capitals, a half dozen smartbombing battleships will clear the entire field of a fully escalated site of sleepless guardians in approximately 30 seconds..

In a magnetar, a dreadnought warping in at the spawn point can run the site solo as the guardians will have zero transversal as they burn from the spawn point to establish an orbit at about 40km. The lone dreadnought can kill them all before they reach said orbit due to the higher damage output. The site is then further escalated by warping further capitals at extreme ranges. Randomized spawn locations would prevent such activities and still allow sites to be run by more "traditional" methods. Should be trivially easy to implement and will benefit everyone that isn't in an exclusive club that gets to call one of the aforementioned wormholes home.

Add date back to the UI so those of us who time/date stamp our bookmarks can easily see this info again. Most of us do not live in the same time zone as the EVE servers so dates are often mixed up.

Will keep racking what's left of my brains but think OPs have covered the niggles.

Must strongly support reduction in spawn ranges in C4 anoms though. particularly:

Frontier Command Post -

2nd wave not too bad as you can trigger it early so they burn to you, but third wave sometimes results in wrecks out of range of tractors. With the new RR and the fact it's no longer soloable you can almost double the time spent in this anom as compared to Frontier Barracks for instance.

.. and the sig for Sentries being far too small. Took to sitting perfectly still in a blaster proteus to ensure decent hits so it's not just a sentry drone easy-mode thing.

How many groups/people are actually doing that? Afaik noone does it in C5 ... in C6 space it's maybe three or four?

Newsflash: the single dread method works in every hole, even in CV and BH. But again, how many people do that?

The change you propose would affect almost all groups that run their escalations in the traditional way since they would now

a) need to wait for the guardians to get in webbing range
b) have less applied dps since the guardians are no longer in optimal and have greater transversal ...

Bottom line this would necessitate an additional siege cycle for most small to medium-sized groups - Congratulations, you just nerfed efficiency by 20-30%, way to balance things around just a few groups

Another idea:

Let's just admit that the separation of hacking and archeology serves no gameplay purpose, and merge them into a single hacking skill. Give everyone the same number of SP in the new Hacking as they previously had combined in the two skills, and if that saturates in level 5, refund the extra SP.

Similarly, turn all Emission Scope Sharpeners into Memetic Algorithm Banks.

Just a quick one.

When you right click/show info on the J123456 system name/number, you get a Solar System: information page.

It should say there, in the description, what are the environmental effects of your current system and what class of wh you are in.

Currently, I think, the only way to get that information is from online databases.

So, please add the wh class and environmental effects to the solar system information page.

I'd agree with this. I do this C5 "cherry picking" frequently and it is dangerous as all f*ck to me running them solo. I spend easily 45 minutes to an hour in a site to clear the sleepers except the trigger and then hack the cans. Yes, there are more efficient methods but I use a very inexpensive fit and take the risk of time to reap the benefits of C5 level relic loot that I otherwise would have no access to. It is one of the most exciting PvE experiences I have had in EVE. I wish it could be done on more sites. It not only is an income source for the tactical player but it also negatively impacts the local residents by me running a site that otherwise would be more lucrative to them.

Make the cans in Data/relic sites explode if you screw up more than once. Just like k space.

Making it too easy to get the loot out has contributed to the rapid decline of their value, these days its not even worth your time to open them. I know several people that just spam trying to get it, and dont even bother trying to actually play the game because the chance of getting a easy shot to the system core is decently high enough

I disagree with this. Anything that keeps a pilot active and in space (and especially vulnerable to attack) is good. Leaving the hacking mechanic as it currently is (unlimited attempts) in wspace means that for those with lower skills, lower equipment or bad luck remain vulnerable longer. This is good. It provides opportunity to hunt them and engage them. If the mechanic is changed to blow up after two failed attempts that just means those pilots are on field for a shorter amount of time. This is bad for the hunters.

TL;DR keep sites the same so we can beat up on newbros

Personally I think the income from these wh data/relic sites needs a buff in the form of more demand for them.

One little thing I wanna add is can we get random spawn distances for capital escalations? No idea if it's been suggested before, can't be bothered to read the whole thread through.

I wanna see people have to use triage/web lokis in sites again

If that is what you took away from my comment you should reread it without the "grr farmers, grr hunters" whatever it is you have going on. I've got absolutely nothing against "newbros" in wspace. Nothing. You're way off base on this one. That said, it's slightly unlikely for "newbros" to be soloing C5 data/relic sites in the first place, nevermind successfully. Besides, newbros are far from the only people who do not so smart things in space while not paying attention to their surroundings.

The actual TL;DR if you really want one (though my comment's length wasn't very long in the first place);
More pilots in space outside of POS shields and uncloaked doing "things" is better for all involved.

Again? lol wut? This is still the dominant method to run cap escalations.......

No, I was actually taking a swipe at your idea of making things more vulnerable for the new guy off a purely arbitratry figure.

Advanced bookmark method has compeltely made using lokis redundant. 5 minute sites with 4-5 dreads, no lokis required. Everyone is jumping on this bandwagon

You do realise you can already sort bookmarks by time?

What about making the sig timer 4 days for anoms, that way you dont have them clogging up a system that somebody can then drop a tower down and farm like a mofo, 4 days after they spawn they die, makes for a more fluid set of holes

I think it would boost wh life if mining went back to being scanable in wh space
I would also like to see the RR of sleepers turned down some.

I would say nice job on the increase in blue loot prices and im looking forward to thera and the new wh's, thank you for new content.

MooMoo's Minor Miner fix: Add higth-end ore rocks (including +10%'s and such) to the anoms/signatures in WH space. This would allow miners the opportunity to miner safely, they'd just need to clear the signature, and then leave someone in the site. The spot turns into a safe the moment you trigger the last wave, and this way miners who were wanting to just warp somewhere and mine could still have their anoms, and smarter/more broadly skilled (read:some pvp) miners could access a more lucrative, more secure method.

Of course, this brings in the new variable of needing a marauder or something to clear the site, but if you're living in a class of WH where you can't clear the anoms, GTFO. This might also make lower-end WH's more enticing as you might make the lower-end sites just as easy to clear as they are now, but containing similar ores, perhaps in smaller quantities.
