Devs, please explain to me how making these wormholes isnt the biggiest backstab to the regular players of eve. Let me explain: Pilot named Rffrwwe, who we see in his trusty raven in 1/2 the 0.0's of eve, has his trusty npc corp alt find a wormhole, he then takes his raven and disapears into oblivion ratting his isk for the isk selling company, totally happy that the wormhole will be closing behind him. Please tell me this isnt true.
If you had read the dev responces in this thread you would realize closing the wormhole behind a pve fit ratting raven is suicide in multiple forms. Also the npc won't have bounties they will be like the drone regions and drop or have salvage that is used for t3 production. I think the only way you are going to make isk in w-space is by bringing goods back to empire to sell so no worries about macrowhatevers in w-space.

I strongly encourage CCP to review this no-cyno policy... I do not think this limiting mechanic will accomplish what they want it to. Other than make any kind of logistical efforts by any corp or alliance VERY difficult.

This is what will happen if ccp alows cynos in w-space. You and your small corp/alliance have found a lucrative system and have just set up your pos and infrastucture and are explioting the resorces like mad making tons of isk. All is well until a roving bob/goon pet snoops you out decides its a nice system we'll take it, pops a cyno and *poof* all your hard work is now an expanding cloud of gas with the new owners setting up a few deathstar poses fueled by a jump bridge so you will never ever in the rest of your eve life be able to take it away from them. Is that really what you want?

Why do I need isk? I like money. lol.
I need money to pay the bills, feed my market orders. I like my ships to eventually make money, pay for themselves. It's kinda a goal. Who cares really. I just wanna know if it's possible to do so.
Afaik from all the dev replys on the subject there will be no isk faucets in w-space just isk sinks until you bring the valuable commodities you have gathered to an empire market. However there is one possibility to play as your indicating and that would be to have the market come to you. Build relationships with market traders or industry producers and they can send cargo ships with needed supplies to your system to pick up your goods for whatever amount of isk or trade you hammer out. If you want a leg up on how I think the market dynamics of w-space will end up do a google of my corp name and read up.  |

Would it be possible for a corp to just up and disappear into WH space and operate out of it just by jumping from WH system to WH system?
I know that there have been posts that said its built around NOT being able to maintain a permanent presence but I'm talking more about a nomadic operation then trying to claim the system.
If Amarr weapons are effective against the new rats then you will see lots of ships with lasor fits. Basically anything gallente and of course amarr would be perfect as t1 crystals last forever. Make sure you have a remote armor repper to patch up your drones and with luck and skill you could stay in w-space farming rats for t3 components until you run out of cargo space. Then just scan out an exit and if it leads to empire dump the goods in a station to contract it to an alt and pick up some spare whatever and go right back in and do it again. Yes I'll say nomadic life will be very viable for a smart crew. |

I was thinking that a W system could act as a "floating" vehicle, a corp could settle inside one then look at what the today worm portal lead to to choose their activity.
"Hey look ! It lead to jita, let's sell our exotic crap and refill our pos with fuel"
"Looks like today it move into the back of bob, let's make some fun with their mining/npc ops"
Those are extremities but I can't seem to see what could prevent this behavior.
Indeed. *rubs hands together gleefully in anticipation*
