Any chance of being able to get a drone damage indicator on drones that are in the drone bay. I would be nice to be able to pick drones that have no damage. Instead of sending them out against sleeps just to one destroyed by a singe shot.

Health bars are now visible for drones in drone bay

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..

There is no solution to this problem, If they changed the spawn mechanics to random, people would warp a carrier into the site, spawn the escalation wave, warp out. bring in the zep, BM there location and then warp the dread back in.... Same problem again.

nope ;) would be dual escalated then


to the solo dreading: its good money, theres plenty of risk and if you disconnect or simply **** up, you're dead = sounds balanced to me

Encourage CCP to place unique resources in EACH class and Effect of wormholes. Make every hole valuable to someone.

Most epic statement.

Instead of trying to make wormhole mining safer make it more productive. Remove regular ores and add super dense ores in more limited supply. Have the time it takes to clear a sites about the same as gas sites. However ore size should favor mining barges not so much ventures.

If you did this you would defiantly have more people mining and more targets for people to shoot at.

In regards to be been able to solo sites in higher class wormholes, perhaps introducing the combat sites from C1-C4 into C5/C6 WH on a different spawn timer from the normal C5/C6 sites would do this.

This would help at times when there are only a couple of people online in your corp and you cant run anything.

its been brought up a few times about stuff in higher class wh's that could be done with less people to help out when only a few is online. so any suggestions there I am totally open to.

also keep in mind if you have ideas there is a pve sounding board with ccp tomorrow so you could bring them up then.

thats a really good idea but I just don't think it would be practical

PVE in wormholes is in great shape, maybe we should focus on the PVP side now and have a PVP big things thread.

We need conflict catalysts and drivers in wormhole space more than anything else tbh.

I would be for having all classes of wormhole sites spawn in every hole with the native types by far the most common and those associated with greatly different classes quite rare. Variety makes pve a lot more bearable. The current four (but might as well be two) sites became stale long ago.

1) Some way of knowing when people are entering / exiting without having 4 screens and 3 alts or reverting back to pre phoebe wormhole quantity, now there's just too many spawning and it's nuts and those un killable frig ones too, really broke it for us small timers.

Please fix it so that when you enter the map you're not zoomed in all the way every time. If the map would remember what zoom you were at that would be awesome. During scanning you flick back and forth between the map and normal view to id wh's and bookmark. Constantly zooming out when I go back to scanning.

I think this would be epic for lower class WH folks. Maybe once every weekor two they get a C5 or C6 site. A great way to introduce low end wh guys to the higher end sites. Plus a lot of folks could use/lose those trapped capital ships that are/were built in the lower end wh. It would be exciting content for lower class guys, promote teamwork - there is just so much good that could come out of this. It seems like it would be super easy for CCP to drop different sites into different class wh and super easy to control/balance the spawn rates.

I'm no programmer, but this seems like a lot of bang for the buck.

3 thumbs up!!

Ordinary Perimeter gas sites are a death trap and avoided by all who know them.
Day-trippers are just melted.

That's the only place I make money day tripping.....

All the other gas sites are over-farmed due to people ninja harvesting.



That ones is still valuable because no ones does it.

I say add a single sentry gun to all gas sites to keep people from ninja-ing. Have it replace 3 frigs or 2 cruisers in the spawn.

Have sentry guns drop blue loot and make them leave wreaks to salvage.

Do..... Something to mining in WH's.....

Although you'll need to fix mining as a whole first. Day-tripping into a WH should be a decent although dangerous option, for a mining crop to try out. Not an unnecessary risk because the High-sec ores are worth more and easier to access.
