There is no SOV in w-space. With that, you cannot gain any bonus to increase the population generation of Relic/Data sites, Combat Sites, Ore fields, etc. Also, you cannot gain the benefit of reduced fuel costs to POSs (which may be null and void when they bring in the citadels).
I'll first off state that I would LOVE to see an occasional ice field pop up in W-Space. Make it a neutral ice field, so when you process the ice you get no racial specifically needed isotopes, but you could still gain the Heavy Water and Liquid Ozone needed by all. This would still require the SOV holders inside the WH who have a POS deployed to leave and go to the market or friendlies who would have it to be sold/traded.
Why can't we deploy a W-Space specific version of an IHub? Make the bonuses for owning "SOV" different too.... i.e. SOV holders gain shield/armor hp/resist bonus, while the invaders do not..... or.... Industrial ships like transports, or even mining vessels can get bonuses to warp core, shield/armor resist, etc....
Also there needs to be a change made to the Directional Scanner. If a player brings in a Covert Ops Cloaking Device enabled ship... the DScan is completely useless. Most ships initially scanning a WH would be cloaky ops anyways. The ONLY chance you have of detecting their presence, before they are uncloaking and scramming you, is the instant they initiate warp when they jump inside. The instant they start moving they are cloaked again. With that being said... why not make there a device or Very Intensive maintenance required structure to block Cloak? ******I'm -9.6 with Gallente, mainly due to being a noob with the game and running Caldari missions, which fought a lot of Gallente faction ships. Now, when I fly through Gallente space, they prohibit use of my Cloaking devices (along with killing any ship remaining in space for any length of time). Why can't we do the same in our -1.0 status wormhole? Why can't we, the WH residents, deploy an array that blocks use of cloaking devices for everyone?
People will argue, "But BFE, there is a waiting period after uncloak before they can lock onto your ship."
Sure there is, and it is still quicker than initiating warp in a Skiff strip miner/etc.
"But BFE, there are bonuses already in place on the Skiff that boost its Warp Core, and you can still add three more modules to boost it."
Sure you can, which are ALL null and void with a bubble. Sure, this is all part and parcel of being in >=0.0 space, I understand that. However this is WH space.... separate from nullsec. W-Space should also act differently. |
