Wormholes

Because, that isn't the only way they'd be used. You are looking at this mechanic, similarly to how most people who advocate for wormhole stabilizers, from one perspective. If you look at the bigger picture, you'll see room for exploitation...

You introduce wormhole stabilization, you turn a variable community built around living off the beaten path and give them a path to beat. You stabilize routes, you have static paths, and wormholes are no longer unknown. Now you can create chains that have clear routes to a definitive location all the time, "as long as you keep it fueled".

Invasions can be more streamlined, defensives can be thwarted much easier. You effectively ruin the dice game of wormhole rolling. You would be turning w-space into k-space.

It is clear why SYJ is no longer a wormhole entity.

If you had actually read the proposal rather than posting your clever "tldr smug smug smug" troll attempt you would have seen that there were already ways to avoid that issue.

You can only stabalize a wormhole w-space to k-space. There are no w-w connections only w-k. Secondly the structure remains on the w-space side so you don't have to worry about k-spacers blobbing you. Thirdly, it doesn't outright stabalize the wormhole, it regenerates it. So you can jump your small gang of cruisers, but if you jump a bunch of larger ships through, it will "crash the gate."

Instead of looking at my alliance tag, perhaps you should consider the benefits of good ideas, regardless of who they come from.

Any other exploits you forsee that I haven't already explained in the original post?

I have always viewed W-space with the potential of it becoming the "highlands" where you have small bands of people that can descend into the lower lands (k space) and wreck havoc. I've always liked that concept and the general game play of being a smaller entity using wit to defeat a larger force, and thought it a great oppertunity for pvp for w-space other than rolling wormholes for 18 hours before you can get a fight (sort of.) However for this to happen we need to implement several elements.

1. Farms and fields. We need it in in order to have a bottom to top economy employed so that an alliance lives or dies on the activities of its common members. Not based on which CEO can acquire what moon to mine. We need FW mechanics applied to 0.0 understanding its own unique qualities. Now you may be asking, why am I talking about 0.0 here in a wormhole discussion? Because of this one thing is implemented, it gives w-space the mechanic to truly affect k-space.

Imagine that your wormhole pops open in some renter rich region full of targets. You descend upon that region and wreck havoc. You have a wide variety of targets and you get to make waves in the water. ALL regions of Eve space interact with one another. What should set w-space apart isn't that it doesn't interact with k-space, but HOW it interacts. It should do so in a unique fashion that maintains the style of w-space while still being relevant. Let's face it, as it stands right now w-space isn't very relevant to anyone but those who live there. On the other hand, highsec, lowsec and 0.0 all have levels of relevance to one another depending on the entity in question.

2. However, for this to be effective, w-space needs a way to be capable of being consistent in said regions. What if we had a structure that could "regenerate" wormhole stability. The way things are now when you jump through a wormhole, its stability lessens the more and more you send ships through. The initial idea I had was a structure that keeps the wormhole from decaying it so long as you fuel it. But we want to maintain the "small/med gang" nature of w-space. Doing that would ensure that we simply add the huge fleet play style to w-space, something no one really wants. We have 0.0 for that.

So instead the structure would regenerate the wormhole (as long as you fuel it) so that you can send small gangs in and out over a longer period of time (to keep consistency) but you are not able to jump a 500 man fleet one way or another. This prevents w-space alliances from getting too big and becoming like 0.0 entities AND it keeps 0.0 entities from being able to burn down w-space simply due to their sheer size. The structure would be deployed 100 km from the k-space hole on the w-space side of things in order to give the smaller w-space entity the advantage of when and where to fight. I would recommend that it does NOT have a timer to balance it out.



3. Another idea I had in mind is based on Sansha Incursions and i'm sure others have considered it as well. What if you have a ship module, a bit like a cyno, that when activated, it would link the a linked ship (or the structure mentioned above) and force open a wormhole in the system of your choosing? This would work only w-space to k-space as w-space to w-space would too dramatically change the way the game is played and suddenly all w-space residence are 1 jump away from one another. Suddenly these small gang w-space entities now can choose when and where to fight and can use this advantage in off setting the huge numbers 0.0 entities can bring forth.

Something to consider however would be that it would be better if said implementation was limited to a structure either the same or seperate to the one previously mentioned. I don't want to link w-space to w-space so easily. I like the random element of that and due to the size of w-space entities that works. But w-space to k-space interactions require more consistency. Anyway if it's tied to a structure than it's easier to defend against another w-space entity linking w to k and k to w bringing us the issue of having w-space players too close to one another. I see this as a proper implementation to avoid that issue before it happens.

You're not very good at this clever thing are you?

First off how are you going to seed from k space if you need to be INSIDE the wormhole in order to activate this structure? Well yes you could put a spy in there but the activation timer on the structure can be hours. Long enough for the true residence to ask themselves, wat is up and destroy it.

Next, the structure works to stablize the wormhole by regenerating it but lowering the mass that can pass through. One can think of it as buffer vs active tank. The wormhole wouldn't have the "buffer" for you jumping your dreads in, but it would have the "active tank" to allow one to pass multiple cruiser groups over an extended period of time.

This stops the issues which you brought up (even though I had aldready addressed them) while allowing w-spacers consistent interaction with k-space.

Who are you to decide what is good or bad blood ? People who agree and disagree with you ? What ? If by good blood you mean people with the same stuck up attitude and lot's of forum trolling and by bad blood you mean people who have constructive criticism and actually have different opinions then you do... then I fear for your so called "promotion of WH space" approach.

But the structure has nothing to do with the issue you brought up. You've already invaded the wormhole by conventional means. If they can't stop you there, what difference does the structure make? Bring in more people from k-space? For what? Obviously the battle is already won, the residents have lost.

The idea does nothing to imepede or help w-space vs w-space interaction. The anchoring time mechanic stops you from a spy simply opening up your hole to k-space where your forces may be waiting. So that's out of the question. In the example above the structure makes no difference at all.

Both sides are rolling, both sides can anchor a structure so it gives neither one an advantage.

Not that it's even that big of an issue regardless because the structure makes the wormhole have LOW BUFFER meaning neither side can use the structure to drop in 30 archons and a 90 man T3 fleet. The most you can get is a handful of cruisers, maybe 10 or 15 at a time. If you spike the "stablized" wormhole it crashes.

Again the mechanic is meant to be used for w-space groups to harrass k space in systems of their choice using small gang warfare. Which part of that are you having trouble understanding?

Except you can't abuse it because nothing you've provided would work.
