Wormholes

You do understand that what your asking for is wormholes to be more like stargates don't you. For how few of some system effects there is your basically creating a constellation.

I don't get you people, wormhole statics is too repetetive quickly make them more like stargates............

Even the npc null etc 50% of the idea is a terrible terrible idea. It would means that corps can fill a system with capitals hundredfold faster then currently and also never need to go outside of their one system for empire logistics. How does that encourage pew whatsoever.

I would rather chage your connection out to be a little more wxtreme in c4. Two statics, one pretty much like they have now and the second to c5/c6 space. Could possibly make c4 more interesting.

Holy **** you people are terrible at math. The odds of not connecting to the C5 you want when you roll the hole are 511/512. The odds of not connecting to the C5 you want when you roll the hole twice are (511/512)^2. The odds of finding any given C5 after N hole rolls is (1 - (511/512)^N).

When (511/512)^N = 0.5, N is 354.5. At five minutes per roll, that's 1772.5 minutes to have a 50/50 chance of finding the hole you want, or 29.6 hours.

your also assuming that they are random and thats how it picks your next static.

I am under the impression that everytime a Wh closes, CCP Grayscale, or one of his henchmen simply looks and picks your new static for you. We have systematically charted our chances of finding pew, and determined it is heavily reliant on his mood. When he is angry or sad our chances of rolling into a empty WH are extremely high, and when he is cheerful, or wants to see someone die we roll righ into farmers. It is also how WH rolling works.

Much more reasonable than your silly "math"

Tested this the other day for absolute certainty. Any new hole appears within 45 seconds, your figure of a few minutes is absolute hogwash, like the rest of your "assumptions"

If your not rolling a new hole within every 2.5 minutes your doing it wrong

Didn't we all learn this argument in primary school maths?

Give the goon his due, he posted in the WH forum. That's a decent start.

All wormholes need two statics. Problem solved

Dearest Sir,

I regret to inform you that I disagree with your point, regardless of your obvious nobility shown in wearing said Red Coat. I firmly believe all wormhole should have 2 statics.

Respectfully Yours,

It boils down to the fact that k-space is far easier to live in than w-space. Your entrances and routes are known and never move, you can see everyone in your system, there are stations...the list goes on. This list of things probably deters a good number of newer players from moving in to w-space permanently. Some may do exploration a couple times in C1s and C2s, then find it too time consuming to scan and plan an assault versus the reward for those sites, they most certainly will not ever see C5 or C6 space because why would anyone just wanting to do sites go that deep? Between wormhole life requiring far more commitment than the average new user is willing to put into EVE and the usual boundary for exploration being dropped at C1s and C2s, you can probably imagine why C3s on up are fairly stagnant.

On the same note, because of the same things that make w-space more challenging than k-space and the fact there is (from my observations) very little growth in PvP friendly entities in higher class systems, veterans and older newbies of our beloved w-space burn out. These people do things such as:

1. Go completely inactive. Unwilling to leave their corp or alliance but finding the game far more of a hassle than something to enjoy, they fade into nothingness or merely log on to update training queues. This most notably increases the chances other players in the same entity will go inactive or leave, weakening the w-space community.

2. Leave their corp or alliance for a k-space entity, most likely in nullsec or lowsec. This again lowers the number of players in the w-space community.

To most it would seem as if I was leading into suggesting that w-space be made even easier to live in. I'd rather ask that k-space be made harder to live in. Chances are almost all the things I could possibly suggest like local player lists being hidden and so on and so forth have been cried for umpteen number of times, even by people who don't dwell in w-space. If CCP wants to really rejuvenate w-space there will have to be a silly amount of new content added along with further isk making incentives (as if C5-C6 sites aren't lucrative already) or they could squeeze people slowly out of their comfort zones in k-space, which I hope is the direction they are picking.
