Wormhole Space Jumpgate
Deployable Structure
Can only be deployed on a static hole.
Show up on system overview like normal space jump gates.


Creates a stable jump gate between static hole systems.

Example numbers :
T1
10000 Shield
25000 Armor
100000 Structure
COST TO BUILD ~ISK 100,000,000

T2
50000 Shield
50000 Armor
500000 Structure
COST TO BUILD ~ISK 500,000,000



The number can be tuned but the point is to make it expensive and easily destroyed.




OPTIONAL : Limited lifespan 3 - 30 days, or take new type of FUEL

OPTIONAL : 1 per system, no matter how many statics you have

OPTIONAL : A whole new set of skills

No. This is WH space, not K-Space. There's a reason these 2 should be different. And why would you even want one when you can just probe the damn entrance and create a corp bookmark for free? And entrances collapse, you'd have to have the gate point to a new system every day. That's just wrong.

Also, how is 500 mil ISK expensive???

If you're gonna post here thinking your idea is the greatest thing since bacon and that it will save EVE and possibly all humankind with it, you're gonna have a bad time.

Personally, I feel we need to make WH's LESS safe and LESS predictable (i.e. more unstable), which is in the complete opposite direction of where you're taking this!!!!

Although, having an expensive structure like this, that can easily be destroyed by a passing gang and potentially separate two "budy" WH systems has a lot of grief potential....

I still don't think this is needed though....

You do realize a sieged dread would eat the T1 in what, 3 shots? The T2 in 2 minutes? And that's ONE dread. A single PVE Tengu could kill the T1 in under 3 minutes.

That said, I'll defer to the WH experts who have clearly, and I'm sure will continue to say,

no.
