Wormholes

How I understood it, one possible process that could take place around such a hypothetical structure might be for example:

*Anchor hilariously expensive structure on a wormhole, wait for it to fill up your hole, while being warpable like a cyno and expensive like a cap, see if someone else wants to shoot it for the potential loot( or just let it create a killmail like a POS) and defend it, build up a trap around it, all while hoping that this thing will finish it's multi-hour cycle to draw anoms into your home. As an example, ehp could be in a region where a sieged dread would need several volleys to pop it.*

Thus, a risk of it not finishing its long cycle and being destroyed beforehand could result in a very expensive loss. And when you attack it - you'll most likely be getting a response, if you bait correctly.

The top ** section is just some random thoughts on how I would imagine such a thing behave, the bottom is what appears to be the OP's actual intention - people shooting each other next to some 'beacon'.

It's ideas like this one that make me avoid going to the Features and Ideas sub-forum.

Small groups won't care about someone larger stealing from them since they can just take some sites later from an unoccupied static.
It will remove the need to farm the static, reducing the ability to find pvp outside someone's own system.
It gives you yet another timer to sit and stare at while doing nothing.

Doesn't quite match the idiocy of a wormhole stabilizer, but still closer than I like to see.

part of the problem.

Now ive heard some dumb crap suggested for WHs in my time....
But this? lol... i got nothing...

What WH space needs is DEFINITELY a way to be able to PVE more

Bob would not approve more safe ratting in your home systems!

At which point the fleet that was logged off in their wormhole comes online and slaughters their plexing fleet.

Being currently inactive except occasional farming of a c4 I can say that this feature would multiply my almost completey safe income, if I wanted it (which I don't, even running my few home sites is almost too much effort and boredom for me).

Live in a c4, have c4 static, open static, which will usually be uninhabited and/or inactive. Siphon sites over into home system, log off. Run sites next day when there is no open hole, which is the natural state of a c4 90% of the time.

The advantage over running sites in the static is enormous. At least a 100% gain in safety (only one system instead of two or more that could get a new connection, and it is guaranteed to be the one you can monitor for new sigs). Shorter times for warping, no mass considerations. Can warp straight to POS, no risk of getting ambushed at hole to home. Especially saves time if you don't have a dedicated Noctis alt. Ability to drop off loot after every site, minimizing loss in the (nearly impossible) event that you lose the Noctis.

And last but not least: You can live in a system with a favorable anomaly and could pull sites into it from systems with no or a bad anomaly. Think about living in a Magnetar and connecting to a Black Hole.

Bad idea for many reasons as has been stated by many of the above posters

Open to way too much abuse under the forms you posted above.


Remember sleepers are pretty damn powerful entities.

Scenario :
Scan Chain
Place (lure) on every hole.
Every hostile gang that tries to make it through the hole's get ganked by sleepers.

This would completely and utterly remove the ability for smaller entities to run non logi gangs. And that's just for starters.

Hell you wouldn't need to keep hole control just place (lure) and bubbles there.
