Wormholes

+1 (not even AU)

Ohh Herbert i love you.

I really don't see the issue, when a sig is spawned it is assigned an ID, downtime changes that ID when the sig itself does not change. So just leave that sig ID alone.

I think in your Herbert level madness do you think i want sigs to stay around permanently... yes you are that level of crazy, my mistake.

Same sig different location? That'd be horrid... Would sigs only change after they despawned then?

Sigs would disappear when they despawn, i don't understand your confusion.

All i am asking for is to not have to rescan the same sig after DT just because the ID has changed, i am not asking for permanent sigs or any crazy ****.

+1 Would also be nice if they could stop moving them at downtime. Having to rebookmark everything because now you're landing 10km off the hole is annoying.

I just role the holl after DT because having to rescan the whole chain just because the sigs change is more effort than scouting a new one so +1

Still continueing to think about this one: So here the Pro and Cons

Problems:
- Game Mechanics
Sig IDs needed changing since their implementation, well atleast they changed every DT which may be something about Cache reset, so it actually "has a real purpose" Although i assume this and rather think thats too much of a wild guess

- Learned Feature
Every Newkid learns about the secret knowledge of the Post-Dt Sig Cypher sooo they can read signatures and easily find new connections, a feature that reduced alot of scanning (I KINDA LIKE THAT). It also kept the "documentation" smaller in that case, which isnt a problem per se just will end up with bigger spreadsheets and we loove spreadsheets right? Well I love Ishtars but thats another feature.

- More work
Many people claim it aint worth scanning before DT and to an extend they are right pending the situation and goals. This excuse will be invalid

Contribution:
- New Scanning Expierence
AU to early EU get to enjoy a System of IDs that makes Sense and doesnt confuse the **** out of new players, so it is actually enjoyable to scan all the time without the fade of DT over the head.

- Less work for Small Local based Operations
Given Fozzies very ******* confusing Statement about upcoming "Tax Payment Structure" and wormholes being a rather "Industrial Friendly" thingy (as far as I understood it), this would take alot of "repeating chors" away from the locals and even could be considered a homefield advantage on a general memberbase, since they can always instantly identify new sigs if they use the proper documentation, while an aggressive force has to do all the SCANNING!

- A little contribution to making navigation "extensive"
More scanning ... and i know you guys love it

Verdict:
Given that the scanning Mechanics are a VERY integrated mechanic and almost interact in every aspect of the game, I would assume this is under the surface a rather HUGE request, although it would mean "a huge" quality of life improvement for the people playing around the DT.

This one isnt easy.

But since Wormhole Subforum is Rainbowcandymagicwishland:

"I'm still convinced that Wormholes are not LORE conform. The ability to Warp to 0 to a physical Event that folds Space should be rather lethal. So Wormholes should never be Bookmarked, instead you should be forced to use the anomaly scanner (without Probes) and land at a random spot 15 km away from the hole. Some people may see an old friend in this one. Going full circle on this one. Next post: DUAL MWD why it should work again in Black Holes - Black Hole Rifter Mario Cart64 Edition" (Please I know this is Bull, still.)

While I appreciate your post content, it warps my mind.

Pros and Cons are not "Problems (negative) and Contribution (positive)", but the opposite...

"Pros and cons, a shortening of the Latin expression "pro et contra" (for and against)"

Pros are positive, Cons are negative

I think most of your pro's and cons are realy all that much of an issue :
cons:
-Game mechancis : might be a lot of work for ccp, but we won't ever know that because it is NDA probably .
Should it have a high priority?No it would be nice to have though!
But who knows it might be an easy fix like the API data thingy, that was far from being a priority( i would rather seen other things changed before this) but still was done.

-Learned feature:
The sigs will be mostly as easy to read as before . If an incoming hole spawns more then 30 minutes after the others it will show an other patern anyway.
Not an issue for people with wormhole mapping software.

-More work: i would say less work because it has been scanned already... .

Pro's:
-new scanning experiance and little contribution to making navigation "extensive: i agree as you say

- Less work for locals: locals have the home advantage if they scanned their system. just as before and as should be.
