Wormholes

There's an idea... bring POS refineries up to 90-95% efficiency.
Don't tie them to skills, that would require extra coding, and don't give them 100%. Give them a high enough refining rate (75% is utter crap) that they will be viable in places where stations aren't available, but don't make them better than stations (its less efficient to build at POSs, so it shouldn't be as efficient to refine at POSs, however the current refinery rates are so low they simply aren't used).

Given the POS overhaul, the ultimate refining changes will most likely be 100% and act just like an NPC Station / Player Outpost since it simplifies the overall codebase. Without know exactly what code is there currently (as no dev has ever commented on it that I'm aware of), I would assume it's already skill based, just capped at 75%.

Most alliances already have some sort of "you shall refine in station" policy and they'll always be "less-efficient" than a station since you can refine instantly in a station - and you're not just limited to Ore. The POS module will always have a time value associated with it under the current POS mechanics.

Building at a POS is usually the same as a station and in the case of T3's, the only place where where subs & hulls can be made.

I could get behind a "you must compress the Ore first" - definately an interesting idea/addition. Refining @ 100% would be a bit like ice refining @ a POS. No skill check? and 100%.

J#### identifiers enable too-easy cataloging and mapping of w-space

Mass, Wormhole colors, static triggers on sites, static WH connections, etc. are all systems that are far too easily gamed, making wormholes far more predictable and safe to explore than they should be.

Remove all identifying marks from w-space outside of visuals for system effects.
Randomize escalation conditions, sleeper types/density in sites, remove static "trigger mobs"
Add potential ice belt spawns to allow independant wormhole operations.
Remove all statics.

More classes of wormholes would be nice.
Variability with some new effects in certain wormholes would also be cool.
More capital escalation waves.
Ore sites should be scannable not warp able.
The mini games in relic and data sites are annoying/confusing.
Also more people in C6/C5 space. It seems as the past year has gone. More and more people are starting to leave the higher classes.
Thanks Chitsa!

A personal SMA would be a big help. We have personnal storage for goods which protect the ammo from thieves, but nothing to protect the really valuable ships.

Enabling more doctrines would be nice as well. Perhaps a battleship class device/trinket/object carried in cargo could be invented that would allow battleships (and only battleships it simply would not do anything for a carrier) to be less damaging to the wormhole. Or perhaps a device or fleet effect that increases the distance you will be spit out of the hole on the far side. I dont want to see t3s nerfed, instead lets have some technology that allows other fleet comps to be competive.

Wormhole are mostly very good so large changes represent more risk to something great than possible reward with improvement.

sma and cha pos mods to show whats inside on the kill mail

ok well suggested fix would be to show whats in them on kill mails like carrier/orca kills.

As for impact i really doubt it will have any these things die anyway all it will do is show what people had left lying about

A man after my own heart. +1.

Im just gonna lay out my thoughts and let the whining begin.

1. Change up the statics. Possibly have them change every so often? if people really dont want to live in a system with a static X theyll move, moving promotes conflict over a new system. Or possibly have them just be random, certainly a pain at times but it would be interesting to close our C5, and a C3 opens to **** and pillage.

2. Add occasional larger mass WHs from upper Whs/Low/Null into the lower ones. I think the isk/risk is ridiculously screwed up in some of the lower systems. Ive seen class 2s with 30+ indy towers making billions a day with virtually no risk, sure i can bring a BC fleet in and bash them down but we all know thats boring as hell, and the time/Loot reward is awful. Allowing us to get a lucky Wh and bring a dread in would allow these "isk sanctuaries" to be significatly riskier. If i have to Sd my dread after i dont care. There is plenty of conflict to be unleashed if only some lower class Whs wouldnt be such a task just to siege. Even with the current POS issues our best fights are often escalations from lighting someone's pos on fire.

3. More randomization to effects would be interesting, allow them to fluctuate? The pulsar is weak today, as a result bonuses applied arent as powerful...or even different. Some of the things we take for granted would amke it a lot spicier if theyw erent so static. What happens when a corp who relies on takign advantage of their system effect gets into a brawl and suddenly their effect weakens/changes?

4. We dont need more wormholes, there are plenty of empty ones. All the whining about big scary C5/C6 Wh entities needs to stop. Getting larger and better organized is the way Eve works. If your unwilling to either get better at eve, get friends, or grow your corproation than perhaps your playing the wrong game. and perhaps you should subscribe to Hello kitty Online adventure.

As a leader of a large C6 corporation we do not go out of our way to bully or stop you from moving up, in fact we encourage it. The horror stories about people moving into a c5/c6 and getting evicted within a month are probably because all theyd id was farm sites and log off. I suspect I can speak for all the C5/C6 corps in saying we would LOVE it if there were more of you up here. As long as your not just here to RMT isk, we have enough of those as is.

5. Allowing the K162 to spawn regardless of warping/scanning will help eliminate isolated farming as well as promoting conflict. Allowing more pathways for me to find peopel to kill/kill me promotes conflict and in general fun.

6. "Randomizing" Wh mass is dumb and does not help anything besides pissing people off when they get stuck on the wrong side of the wormhole. Yes its random, yes its risky but it in no way really promotes fun. I would avoid going down that path ( and CCP said they wont at FF).

7. Insert all the POS/Corp role stuff here. ...because itll make me want to play eve as a CEO.

some of my cents

The Discovery Scanner debacle... Primarily new sigs showing up instantly. It's really a other type of local and it means a lot less fights.
