Assembly Hall

If I want to sit in the corner of the sanbox digging up old cat turds by myself I should very well be able too. You seem to to favor a more forced socialism type of sandbox mechanic, one where the teacher slaps the cat turd out of my hand and drags me by the hair to the jungle gym and then smashes my face into the slide until i decide to play with the other kids. The only use I have for "player interaction" in Eve is blowing ppl the f**k up when they get in my way. My subscription money, my play style. That is what a sandbox is truly about. Oh and news flash "player interaction" makes Eve unique, ROFL, there's a million other MMO's out there that require far more player interaction than Eve and many of us here actually like the fact that there is a chance to be semi-successful soloing Eve. Now go back to being a douche with your friends and leave me alone with my cat turds.

And once you got everything you need, you don't need to come out again.
No, bad idea like Friggz already explained.

@strom: It is easier to be self-sufficient in a wormhole than you think.

Why can't we mine materials from the Sun?


Solar panels on the POS to collect fuel from the sun/star??
POS's module for different star types?


There could be at least one ice planet in every WH system, then PI could produce ICE products.

all for this.

Hauling ice materials are a pain in the ass. C6 C5 have it easy cause they (we) just freighter the crap in when they have a k-space random to use, takes little effort, low risk

The grunts in C4 and below are stuck with having to haul that junk with orca's or itty 5's which takes a long ass time.

Also adding to this is that shooting haulers is WAY less fun than blowing up entire mining fleets. I also don't see why ppl think it will further isolate w-space, the corps that generate content by rolling their statics for fights will keep doing so, it will just give them more potential targets.

Also, fix mobile refineries while you are at it 75% max refine is rediculous. having to build/ship in a rorqual to get around it is even worse.

Highsec is entirely self-sufficient. It's not a closed community because there are things it lacks, and there are things it provides that other places lack.

Wormhole space will never be a closed gate community because it will always provide tech 3 components to the rest of New Eden. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that w-space should have anything close to everything available. I think there should be tons of juicy things that you can't get in w-space at all. But that doesn't mean it should not be possible to subsist alone in w-space. It is possible to subsist alone absolutely everywhere else, why not w-space too?

Please link dev blog where it says that Empire space is getting refining nerf. Spread your FUD elsewhere.

The amount of money made in empire is not what this is about.

This is about the fact that every part of new eden has some sort of ice except wormholes. Every part of new eden can close its self off and ignore the outside world except Wormholes. Giving wormholes ice will not break the game, it will not cause the massive power blocks to shift, nor will it cause the all mighty jita to tremble. Giving wormholes ice allows players that live in a wormhole to exist there just a slight bit easier. It is a small thing that would make the game alot more fun and go towards cooling tempers. It lets wormhole dwellers provide their own fuel, it gives non combat pilots in alliances something to do while they are inside the wormhole, it gives more targets to shoot at for combat pilots in a wormhole.

You dont have to worry about the ice getting brought into empire to hurt the market since compression is terrible and we can only get 75% max yield from our refineries. This idea doesnt hurt anyone but helps alot of people.
