Wormholes

move to a real WH?

seriously tho, Force Fields are just about essential.
If you remove them, you just make fighting near a POS into station camping bullshit, just like station fighting right now.

the changes are good overall but for me, removal of the force field is a deal breaker.

in this day and age of technology, having it removed for 'technical reasons' is just a lame way of saying they are too lazy to code it properly and hence is not a valid reason.
if they have a legit gameplay reason that i can't think of, i would love to hear it but please keep the 'technical reasons' crap out of it.

I personally do not favor the idea of bringing docking games to POSes.

But I think the issue with forcefields is that it makes certain ships and weapons useless when you want to destroy a pos.

The removal of forcefields will no longer render smaller weapons and blasters useless when trying to damage a pos.

Perspective people, perspective. The defining difference between w-space and k-space is security status, lack of local and completely different requirements for navigation and logistics, not that w-space dwellers live in POS:s. K-psace has the exact same POS system available after all. Claiming that POS:s alone are the reason why w-space is what it is seems like a massively exaggerated kneejerk reaction to a so far uncertain change, since change is SCAAAARYYYYYYYY, and uncertainty is DOUBLEMEGASCAAARYYYY.

Seriously, current POS mechanics suck hairy monkey balls. I trust the judgement of CCP and Two Step on what could be done to change it.

Of course it's only one aspect, but an important one. I'm a little concerned that Two steps personal opinions (which are legitimate of course) will pass for "what wormhole dwellers want" in sight of CCP (who obviously have little to no own knowledge of wormhole life for the most part ).

Docking is in itself a bad mechanic. A player leaves the universe and suddenly is in a windowless environment, unconnected to space and completely safe. It's even bad from an immersion point of view. Most modern games simulating a world try to be seamless, have no loading times and not have separate 'levels' but only one world where you go from one place to the next without interruptions.

The real way forward would be to create some kind of station environment that still leaves you in space. Zoom in to see your ship hangar and indulge in ship spinning, zoom out and see the space surrounding the POS/station. Including access to d-scan.

And when viewing such a POS, we can see a 'guest list' like in a station from the outside.

If there has to be POS-docking, one way to go could be to give POSes multiple undock tubes we can select, like up, down, left, right, front, rear if it's cubicle-shaped. That way in a siege the attackers would have to block all six undock tubes to prevent the inhabitants from undocking.

You also have to include the fact that they want to bring it in a station like effect. Where all other stations are (LS, HS and Null), they already have local as an intel tool for possible threats. While i am not proposing we get local in WH's it needs to be looked at from our point.

The problem is that they do only have Two steps views on this and we have no clue that a Dev even reads the WH section. But we need more people to input to this thread to at least show Two Step what his fellow WH people think about it, at least before next elections...

No one would have voted for two step if we'd known he wanted to bring docking games to wormholes. Too late now though, eve in roo-ins, already unsubbed all eighty seven of my accounts, burning jita, etc

Seriuosly who voted you in for CSM? nobody wants to have docking games and station bullshit in w-space, i couldnt think of a worse way to play this game and your a complete idiot for even trying to justify being able to dock in w-space.

Have to agree with the rest of the gang, station games would be a very bad thing to happen in W-space.

and lets make the wormhole connections fixed and permanent

Also a really nice thing would be if you can get SOV on Wormholes and Wormhole Constellations!! Would be reallly really cool lets do this! While we speaking of improving WH to the best, I always wanted titanbridge work in a WH, so i can cyno into other WH´s and make funny hotdrops \o/
