its stated in the attributes that it has to be activated at least 3000 km from a gate or station... so why does this thing have the abillity to be anchored 5 km from a wormhole? not only does it have a warp distruption bubble on it (i can deal with that) but it broadcasts IN LOCAL who has jumped into the wormhole its anchored on

EVE System > Dmitry Wizard is now in proximity of the Encounter Surveilance System

keep this crap in null and get it off my wormholes!

these kinds of things make me think CCP hates us wormholers


We need MORE pvp in wormholes.... not less

I agree. Love it when people figure out how to use something in a way it probably wasn't intended in the first place.

OP has a valid point though.

clarification though, can these be anchored in a WH? or only on the nullsec side, TBH i didnt read the anchoring requirements when they posted the devblog on it because i couldnt give less of a **** living in lowsec and all.

but yeah, if it can be anchored IN wormholes, borderline exploit to circumvent intended mechanics, if only on the nullsec side, well, like it matters with local anyway.

So the ESS does the same as a scout in a cov ops 99 km of the hole and a T2 large bubbel.
that a not an exploit its an innovation.

it kills wormhole pvp. and destroys the whole "unknown" aspect of wormhole space

Considering the following facts:

1. Only one ESS can be active at a time.
2. WHs have multiple statics.
3. Random entrances pop up in the form of K162s

I conclude that while using an ESS to monitor a WH is innovative, it is nowhere near as effective as you claim it to be.

(This is assuming, of course, that the dev blog I just read on the matter is accurate as of patch time.)

So, CCP made ESS to be 'local' channel for wormholes? ;) Btw.. is there a need to anchor ESS in WH since Sleepers don't have bounties?

no sleepers dont have bounties. and wormholes with one static can still be looked at with it. it doesnt belong.

im assuming you can anchor more than one because it sayis in the attributes that you cant anchor one within 5k of another one

Tinkered with this on Singularity. You can only deploy one ESS at a time.

Mmmmmm.....no. Some have only one. I should know, I live in one.

Brb, have to buy me an ESS automated wormhole guard....Twisted

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Yes this is creative gameplay, which is cool.

But its also an automated, 100% accurante and instant way of scouting a wormhole. Without mentionning the fact that it also acts as a "super bubble" with its EHP.

So definitely, put a minimum WH anchor distance.

is that limited to one per system or one per pilot?
