Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.28 02:28:00 - [1] Originally by: CCP Whisper Originally by: Henglar We want giant space whales!!! Space Greenpeace contacted us and threatened Space Boycotts and Space Demonstrations if we put Space Whales into space. Originally by: Williamat Centaurus If wormholes are ALWAYS 2-way, what is the purpose of having K-W and W-K designations when they are exactly the same thing? The design's being worked on in response to the feedback in this thread and there is a good chance that they won't end up being the same thing. Well, they'll look the same but they'll work in a different manner. Can't say much more than that right now because...well there isn't much more than that. K-W and W-K just depends on where you are in reference to the wormhole
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.28 04:39:00 - [2] I have a question about the surrounding backgrounds of W-Space; will it be similar to the backgrounds in K-Space where the solar systems are Binary or will they be completely different? It makes sense that K-space require Binary solar systems for jump gates to operate ( Eve Online Scientific Article), but since W-Space has nothing like that, have there been plans to include neutron stars, magnetars, pulsars, super giants and other things that wouldn't usually be found in Binary solar systems?
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.28 05:01:00 - [3] Originally by: MotherMoon Originally by: Adunh Slavy Originally by: MotherMoon you know by ardiks logic, every system in eve is an instance At its root, an instance is a process, on a CPU, each solar system in eve is a process, on a cpu, sharing threads and memory space - it IS an instance of the so called "solar system node". Eve has lots ond lots of instances. The main difference with Eve is, the instances are persistant and maintain persisteant links with other instances, represented in the game space by gates and soon worm holes. It is not an insult to say eve is "instanced". It is simply instanced differently than some other MMOs. bingo Bottom line is that eve is awesome whether it is instanced, deep fried or sauteed
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.29 03:24:00 - [4] do people not realize that putting up a pos would last as long as the fuel you came with (since there are no ice belts in Wormhole space)? Also, if you leave the system, you have a 1/10,000 chance of returning to the same system so the chances of someone setting up a deathstar and mining moons would either be for naught, or for a very limited span of time
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.29 04:13:00 - [5] Originally by: ollobrains2 1/3 of the map is empire-low sec so u have a 1 in 3 chance of landing in non wormhole space if u live there u just find a favourable exit duck out grab some more fuel and go back in Well there's only so much speculation that we ourselves can make at this point in time. Quite soon after Apocrypha's release will we conclude the effectiveness of permanent residence in a world of ever-changing connections between systems
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.29 04:36:00 - [6] Originally by: Oliver Stoned And now for a new form of griefing.... A greifer goes in and out of a wormhole until it closes and traps the explorer inside the Wormhole. Any ideas of how to prevent this? Assigning ownership??? be aware of your surroundings? Besides, if someone is trying to close a wormhole, they have to get the sustained mass below 0 so the person already in the W-system can just use it for the the last time as it collapses. Either that or the griefer will get stuck in there with him. Also, I believe there is more than one wormhole in a W system

A greifer goes in and out of a wormhole until it closes and traps the explorer inside the Wormhole. Any ideas of how to prevent this? Assigning ownership??? Griefing,, lol. I want a bomb-like weapon that lets me disrupt wormhole openings, forcing a new one to spawn elsewhere. So if you fly through for the first time and collapse the hole and trap a lone pilot inside is that griefing too? Or better yet, petition reads "Someone flew into my wormhole and starting stealing my T3 salvage, they're griefing me!" *Personally, I want* to get stuck in W-space. Know you're going into dangerous territory, expect to get stuck and maybe even die. Breathes a ton of life into being a solo roamer** who isn't PvP-averse other than the "encounter enemy gang, die" element. this
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.29 14:54:00 - [8] Originally by: cianide pro Originally by: Lita F From all the info i read i get the feeling it will be impossible/very hard and time consuming to use single character for this new wormhole thingie. Advisable is 2 players, 1 probe ship and 1 for what ever you want to do there, killing, mining, whatever. That its hard, wel I hope it is, about impossible no I dont think it will be but you will need time/patience for sure. I did drop an idea in Features and Ideas Discussion to re-bonus the black ops to make them more suitable for exploration work, as in the line from cov ops and recons a bit on scanning, maybe then solo players would have a good ship, expensive but useful for this line of exploration. The new exploration probe launcher isn't going to be powergrid or CPU consuming, so you can do it by yourself easily. Just sacrifice a high slot and some m3 for the probes and decide how big of a ship you want to use.
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.01.30 23:06:00 - [9] Question: What will happen to multiple probe BPOs when the new scanning system is introduced? If I have 22 bpos of sift, comb, pursuit, and quest probes will they all just turn into the 2 types? In that case I should flog all of my bpos asap
Infinion Caldari Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2009.02.03 23:22:00 - [10] Originally by: Imnar Blade Might have been asked before, but didn't see it in the first 35 pages or so. Some of us (including me) have really crappy standings with Empire factions. What is the situation if an exit wormhole to empire high sec comes out in a system where we are not at all welcome. Will the police be immediately on us as soon as we exit the wormhole, or will they only notice our presence once we hit a station or stargate? ie. Will we get a chance to dock up and make arrangements, or will our hard won loot be immediately scattered across the cosmos? When you have bad standings with a faction, they will attack you at stargates and stations. You will also be blinky to all players in the system.

You will also be blinky to all players in the system. Wrong. - A navy crew will arrive and warp around, following you and engaging you. These guys pack a pretty big punch, but you can tank it for long enough. - Sentry Turrets will engage you at stations and gates. - You are not attackable by other players, unless you join a FW corp and are engaged by a player of the opposing corp, as per any wardec mechanic. You are not blinky red like an outlaw. - Customs and Police NPCs will not engage you unless aggress them. Something you really don't want to do. orly, I assumed it was the same as when entering a system with too low of a security status I have a question of my own: If you were to leave a ship in W-Space in some planet or moon for a day, returning to it to drop off loot etc, would it still be there the next day or is there a timer on when it disappears? I know that you can leave ships in and around POS bubbles but not without
