Wormholes

I would love to speak to you but you are not even online.

No, you are absolutely awful and your ideas are awful. However even a broken clock is right twice a day and as a very broken clock you hit this particular nail right on the head. The problem right now is NOT that w-space cannot serve as a staging point from which you descend onto k-space, in fact w-space is ideally suited for such an activity, no the problem is that there are FEW TO NO REGIONS FULL OF TARGETS. Let me state that again in a different way, W-space is fine but NULL sec and LOW sec don't have the needed population density in order for w-space to be this awesome region to raid from.

So now you need to ask the next question, why is NULL sec mostly empty? Because the ease-of-travel mechanics allow for large coalition building. The effort it takes to gather all your members into one system is trivial compared to w-space. Therefore we have half the null sec population camping a station and the other half stuck inside it. Whenever anything of theirs gets reinforced, they simply utilize their bridge network to bring in overwhelming numbers. Thus these wars and deployments concentrate large percentage of null players into a few systems/regions while our wormholes open randomly into all of null.

No amount of wormhole stabilization will help, yeah you might be able to maintain a connection into a pretty populated region but its still a crap shoot when it comes to opening into the said region. Furthermore the amount of side effects such stabilization is going to bring is not desirable by the w-space community at large.

So now you can see why people don't want the wormhole stabilization, because it will make travelling easier and that will decrease the appeal of w-space. You can see why w-space players don't want to fight for systems, it will make w-space more on par with null sec and look at how that one is working out. We like our system, we just want minor tweaks to it that will improve it, not massive game changers.

I know my posts get long but it really helps if you read them so I don't have to repeat what was already said.

I already brought up the issue that 0.0 needs farms and fields. That's a given, regardless of what we do in w-space. Next, "wormhole stablization" is a vague term that doesn't accurately express the idea at all. The structure doesn't allow for ease of traveling because the structure limits the amount of ships that can pass through. For example:

Say wormhole A opens up in 0.0. For the sake of argument you can jump 15 man t3 gang all at once. This makes the wormhole become instable so that the next time you jump your 15 man group, it falls apart. The structure regenerates the wormhole, but only to the point where you can jump in 5 of your ships every few hours. Too many and you spike the wormhole and falls apart regardless of the structure.

This allows small number of ships to pass through over an extended period of time. The added perk of allowing w-space pick where the wormhole opens up allows w-space to stay relevant. There is no "ease of movement" there is only an ease of which w-space can affect k-space, not the other way around. See if for what it is, not what you think it is.

Again, I repeat myself, your ideas are awful. You ignore the fact that w-space would be helped by more populated, more active and healthier null sec. You ignore the fact that being able to chose your exit, even in null sec, will make supply runs easier. You ignore that fact that choosing your exit will create w-space/null alliances that keep opening same connection to their staging system. You ignore the fact that w-space is suppose to be random, ever shifting and most of us actually like it that way. You ignore the concept of Opportunity Cost, where CCP has to assign developers to implement a device that most of w-space does not want or they can spend time tweaking issues that actually need to be addressed in w-space.

Your idea is bad because it is not fleshed out, you throw out vague numbers and concepts that fluctuate between posts. You are not even part of us anymore, you have stayed in a group that left our habitat, abandoned it and yet still hopes to influence or change it. No sir, you do not speak for us, you do not speak at all, you just make noise.

Or lets drop all pretense and have a conversation about ideas and CCP. CCP is not exactly known for their full implementation of features. The in game killmails are still missing CHA items if you try to copy them. The CREST implementation is like the Flying Dutchman, those who have seen it have gone insane. Walk in stations was abandoned though at player request. The DUST-EvE implementation has been going on for a year. The CSMA fix is not anywhere in sight. CCP is not even talking about POS changes anymore.

Yes, they have made other improvements and implemented other features but the way CCP behaves is like a child with an attention deficit disorder, jumping from feature to feature. So yeah, most of us want our representatives to focus on smaller issues and once we get them we can talk about massive changes that would forever alter the face of w-space.

It is obvious that I do mistakes. I am no perfect man like The Mittani so I do try and try and try various configurations. It is also obvious that I have to rethink the way I do it. I do admit that I was too arrogant to "put wspace on the map". I do try to learn from my own mistakes but sometimes my megalomaniac character gets me :) I am not ashamed to see mine past mistakes and I do not hold grudges against people who do not like me.

PS.

Wormhole stabilizer in any way never gonna happen as long as I am on CSM.

this i can back =)

"You ignore the fact that w-space would be helped by more populated, more active and healthier null sec."

How am I ignoring it when my first post dealt SPECIFICALLY with this and stated that 0.0 needs farms and fields? Are you even reading?

"You ignore the fact that being able to chose your exit, even in null sec, will make supply runs easier."

Choosing your exist for supply runs is kind of hard of we severely limit the type/size of ship that can jump through. I've stated this over and over again that we can tweek what can or cannot jump through so that these sort of things do not happen.

"You ignore that fact that choosing your exit will create w-space/null alliances that keep opening same connection to their staging system."

Yes I've thought of that too. But the wormhole "regenerator" limits the size and number of ships that can jump at any time. So at any time you won't have your forces fully competent in w-space or k-space.

"You ignore the fact that w-space is suppose to be random, ever shifting and most of us actually like it that way."

And that's fine for the most part but the fact remains that a w-space entity can not consistently project its forces well enough to matter to anyone but w-space. I'd like to see wormholers as more than just a "once in a while" annoyance to 0.0 entities.

"You ignore the concept of Opportunity Cost, where CCP has to assign developers to implement a device that most of w-space does not want or they can spend time tweaking issues that actually need to be addressed in w-space. "

So far everything you've said leads me to believe you're having a very hard time comprehending the idea proposed. All i'm hearing is "wormhole stablizer = making w-space into 0.0, we don't like that!" When in truth i'm suggesting an idea that seeks to empower w-space to be more relevant and actually affect k-space.

"Your idea is bad because it is not fleshed out, you throw out vague numbers and concepts that fluctuate between posts. You are not even part of us anymore, you have stayed in a group that left our habitat, abandoned it and yet still hopes to influence or change it. No sir, you do not speak for us, you do not speak at all, you just make noise."

It's hard to think of it as fleshed out when you don't even read it. Numbers for examples are there as place holders. That's not a difficult concept to grasp. And please the whole "higher than thou" elitist smug wormhole attitude "you are no longer part of us" is a joke. Nobody cares. W-space is decaying and instead of considering ways to improve that you're just being thick because I happen to be part of an alliance you're upset at.

There's no real politics in w-space. It's high school cheerleading drama and nobody cares except the 15 year old girls with daddy issues. So that's as far as that goes. Mechanics wise concerning my ideas, I've already explained it so simply that a child could understand how many of the concerns presented are a non issue. I don't really care. You can ignore a good idea and sulk in the irrelevance that you already are. Doesn't make much of a difference to me.

You are just repeatedly reinforcing my point about you not being even close to knowledgable enough about wspace to reasonably comment on it. You are regurgitating the same false stuff thats been spoon-fed to you be people who dont live in wspace and were never part of the community even when they used to live there.

I actually liked some of your articles about nullsec, so I really dont see why are you closeminded and selfrighteous about wspace. For example I know very little about sov warfare or industry, so I refrain from overly commenting on it and telling others how they ought to do things. I, for some reason, expected similar self-critical attitude from you. Instead you are shockingly arrogant in your ignorance.
