Being new to activity on the forum... I suppose I can add a bit to this.

A lot of changes are occurring in the development of EvE. One that caught my attention was the wormhole changes:

Arrow more frequent wormholes
Arrow the ability to see the actual mass remaining
Arrow the changes to where ships are placed when they enter a wh

All of these things make me rethink the way CCP is implementing the changes. It's up to the players to figure out how all of the mechanics coincide with one another.

....and how do you think these changes can be used to counter LDTN.

More importantly what is LDTN.....

did a worm holer point this out to you or did you figure it out yourself.

...and fails to see the acronym LDTN used.

What does LDTN stand for? as you appear to know.

Alright I bite, Title of latest devblog - Long-Distance Travel Changes Inbound ( aka an News item ) which was boiled down to LDTN ( Long Distance Travel News ) by the OP.

Bite what?

Op made up an acronym and didn't bother to explain it. Thank you for explaining it.

Now can you explain how the wormhole changes can be use to counter LDTN. I understand how wormholes in general can be used to cut down on travel times, but not sure how the recent changes to wormholes can be used to counter LDTC (Long Distance Travel Changes)

I don't support that conclusion, it will only making it even harder to do logistics run. The randomness of which sets of wormholes that by chance will occur and if they are usable, will make it into a nightmare to rely on.
And if they ( wormholes ) are of no use?, what's next, roll them?
Time spent on that are a complete waste of time not counting that if you get shoot to pieces, then its a real ingame loss and are better used somewhere else, ingame ( waiting out fatigue? perhaps ).

Thread locked. I'm confused as to the topic of the post, but it sounds like it might be feedback for the latest dev blog, which belongs here.
