Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Multi-use implant that creates an unstable wormhole anywhere in space into Thera. Wormhole collapses immediately upon entrance.

Think about it like a sisi /moveme command to put you in Thera (just includes a quick animation).

-Implant cannot be used to leave Thera.
-PvP kickstarter. Serves instant button function of bringing more ships and bodies into the Thera lion's den. Fleet's can get into Thera quickly and form up to assault stations or out connection wormholes.
-Power projection back into K-space limited by mass restrictions of wormholes. Project small to medium sized gangs across New Eden if you can survive getting out of Thera.

TL:DR:
Personal 1-way WH generators only to Thera. Spawn in, fleet form up, and fight out. On demand PvP content.

Considering there is this website, this suggestion is not needed.

@Iain Cariaba

Yes, I've used Eve Scout before. This is a suggestion that removes some of the player hesitation for entering Thera (e.g. immediately bubbled on the inside. )

Under this proposal it's relatively easy to enter Thera, but bloody difficult to leave. Is there something wrong with that?

Considering how well Thera is connected to everywhere in the game this would be the most effective tool of force projection seen in the game.

Where did massive amounts of force projection lead us last time? To the rental empires because no-one could challenge the groups that had the numbers and ability to project to the other side of New Eden in matter of minutes. Those groups still have the numbers required to do so and by allowing instant teleportation to Thera they are given back the power to hold large parts of the null sec easily.

not really i just stash ships all over then use this plant in an interceptor

With the wormhole generator, people holding Thera have little control of who gets into system. They can't see when someone pops in due to the delayed chat mechanics. They'd have to be constantly prepared for offensives and stations are risky refitting spots.

If wormhole size is going to be an issue for power projection, mass can be shrunken.

Wormholes into Thera are almost never camped. Mainly it's the high sec ones that are close to a trade hub where you see that. And almost always, there's an uncamped alternate that adds only a few high sec jumps if you're interested in traveling to/from trade hubs. People who want fights in Thera can easily come there looking for them using our Web site; lots of my Signaleers (myself included) will cheerfully drop a bookmark for you if you're not set up to probe the entrance out yourself. People who want eyes in Thera to learn whether a hole is camped or not can join the EvE-Scout public channel and ask any Signal Cartel member. Fleet comps of camps are not part of what our guys are supposed to report; if a camp is reported and you choose to jump in, what you face after deciding to jump in is your problem.

OP, your implant idea doesn't make sense to me. Have you been to Thera?

Currently to benefit from Thera as a tool of force projection you need to have a suitable entry as well as an exit. Under the proposal of the OP you would only need the exit and not the entry so the strategic value of Thera would raise a fair bit. But then again who knows. And I do agree with you on the fact that Thera should be wandering.

I too enjoy random fleets spawning from the maw of the deep.

Considering how abundant Thera holes are, an implant such as this removes half of the travel time Through any Thera route. Which is already a strong tactic for many groups.
