Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So here is an idea, feel free to criticize, and adjust as needed.

Lets add the ability to create/manufacture a permanent stargate around a wormhole entrance, make it taxable via the person/corp that owns the wormhole inside. For instance you are in null sec entering the wormhole through the stargate, the tax is paid to the owner of the system that is being jumped in to.
The ability to own a wormhole, add infrastructure hub, or soverniety points to every wormhole, that can be conquered either by destruction/time-based (hours, and hours) or something to that effect. the owners of the wormhole can have tax on a gate that based on mass. This will add competition between wormhole space, and possibly a warzone that could be absolutely epic!

Again, i'm just a noob that has some interesting ideas. Please feel free to add, adjust, gripe to this thread!

Yeah.. no.. I'd rather not want a permanet connection to some random hellhole in null.. and I-Hubs? No.. keep that null crap out of our holes..

If you think about how the iminant expansion of space indicative of the recent patch notes, this may be a feesible action. Again, the choice to greate the stargate is based on the player itself, and the stargate would still need to be scanned out, however, the location will not change due to the stargate maintaining the wormhole entrance.
As for the I-hubs, that was just an idea. not something concrete, it was an attempt to figure a way to maintain sov through a region of space (specifically a wormhole).
As for the Thunderdome comment, i don't really see the point of saying that wormholes are meant for Thunderdome combat. as there are ways to do that w/o the need of wormhole space. (such as corp defined combat tournament that can be held basically anywhere.)

i would rather see a worm hole stabilizer module that holes the hole open for a longer period of time, or another module that raises the mass of a hole but itll collapse directly after use.

example, if u have a small worm hole leading into a class 2 and you wanna bring a freighter in to bring stuff out. you can deploy this module from the inside, once it sinks with the worm hole, it can be made larger for a short period of time. freighter in and bam, it closes.

or, if you have a lot to move out or in and you still have mass, you can hold the hole open for up too 50% longer.
the hole will still read that its about to close so we wont have an exact time on when itll close.


but there should be enough time for a few trips out to high sec to sell items and then back.

I agree, and it would play along nicely with the other deployable modules that are being introduced for Rubicon

No.

W-space is not nullsec (despite how much people are trying to make it that way).

This idea is essentially "wormhole stabilizers" all over again, which has been suggested and shot down a million and a half times. Part of the uniqueness of w-space is how your environment is always changing. One day you may have a chain with a couple day-trippers in a C2 a few wormholes away, and a hisec link right next to that. The next day, your static might be your rivals. Besides, I'd rather not have an entire enemy capital fleet jump through a wormhole in the middle of a fight. I'd prefer to keep it only 1-3 caps maximum at a time (I live in a C5 btw).

As for sov, no.

I don't want supercaps in my wormholes, and I sure as hell don't want people building stations in my wormholes!
Besides, you have to ask yourself, if we allow sov in w-space, what's next? Local? Cynos?

This would make w-space a taxed expansion of nullsec.


This would be the day I move to hisec.
