Player Features and Ideas Discussion

new and better idea
Read: post #9








My idea is that we can install a gate that stabilizes a wormhole temporarily,
the gate would freeze their degradation.


-the gates come in 3 different size for each empire: small / medium / large.

-the gates will use fuel, the same that the control tower use and from the same empire.
ex : "Caldari Wormhole Stabilizer Gate Small" use "Caldari Fuel Block".

-the gate use 70 or 80% of the fuel required by the same size control tower each hour.
ex: small: 8 / medium: 16 / large: 32.

-the gate need a Gate Charter (same as Starbase Charter) each hour in security space >= 0.5.

-each size of the gate start to decay after a limited time.
ex: small: 3d / medium: 5d / large: 7d.

-Anchoring / Unachoring / Onlining take a lot of time.

- the gate are destroyable.

- need a gate on each side of the wornhole, (so need fuel in each gate).

-if a gate have no fuel, the gate go offline.

-if a gate go offline , the degradation continue with a side effect (short the time left + the mass can pass through),
ex: small: loses 25% / medium: loses 50% / large: 75%.

-if the gate on each side are offline (after activated all gates 1 time)
the time left + the mass can pass through is reduced of 50%.

-if a gate is destroyed, Unachored or decayed (after activated all gates 1 time)
the time left + the mass can pass through is reduced of 50%.

-each days the wormhole loss X% of is time left + the mass can pass through,
ex: small: loses 5% / medium: loses 10% / large: 15%.

- space pirates will come to destroy them and inside the wormhole this is the sleeper who will come,
so you need peoples for protect them =P

- in the probe scan list, the wormhole type will change from "unstable wormhole" to "stable wormhole".

-any player can pass or destroy them.

-their volume are: small: 4 000m3 / medium: 6 500m3 / large: 9 000m3.

- you can't Anchor a control tower next to them, min: 50KM

-you need wait 6h for reactivate of put another gate on any side of the wormhole.
(with luck, you can problably use the same wormhole for 2 week =) )

-the gate have only capaccity for 1d of fuel.



this will cost a lots money for use a gate, probably a large part of your profit =P

i will wait for your comment =)
if you have already seen a similar topic or error in my text / idea said me.


note: sorry for my bad english, i am french. =P

1- Go check the mobile deployable ideas thread.
2- The idea has been mentionned multiple times, in all its forms (with mass stabilizer, without), you did not invent hot water.
3- For the record here was mine:

ok, 7 day is two much. why not : small: 12h / medium: 1d / large: 1d12h

only pirate come attack them in big group with minimum 1 large + 2 medium + ~5-10 small, randomly few time per hour min 1 time per hour from outside and inside (why not pirate in wormhole =P )

when out of full, unanchored or decayed reduce the time left + the mass can pass through of ~80%((after activated all gates 1 time)

if a gate is destroyed ~5min left before the wormhole die (because of the explosion of the gate)

max ~5-10min with a battleship and the gate is destroyed =) (time vary with the size of the gate)

anchoring lvl need: small: lvl 1 / medium: lvl 3 / large: lvl 5


now only big corp with a lot of member can use it and make a good profit

because it cost a lot fuel + need a lot of people for secure the gate

I can see it now--why go through the risk, expense, and hassle of moving into a wormhole when you can just stabilize a connection to K space and farm a honey hole from the comfort of a station? Sorry but I'm 99% certain this idea would ruin W-space.

I do think the idea may be intriguing for K-space to K-space wormholes, but I'd be wary of creating yet another method to project power.

I like your idea
but each type have different value and anchorin lvl like,
ex:
"Caldari Prototype Singularity Stabiliser'' : time speed modification: 90% / mass ship modification: 125% / anchoring lvl: 1,
"Caldari Enhanced Singularity Stabiliser'' : time speed modification: 85% / mass ship modification: 120% / anchoring lvl: 3,
''Caldari Reinforced Singularity Stabiliser'' : time speed modification: 75% / mass ship modification: 110% / anchoring lvl: 5,

the gate accelerates or slow the wormhole degradation and reduce or increases the mass of ship who pass through.

and why not make that, the ship consume cap charges/strontium/blocks each time they pass the gate and more the ship are big(mass) it consume more cap charges/strontium/blocks
ands for each missing cap charges/strontium/blocks reduce the wormhole life + mass by 0,5%

gate/device life time of ~6-12h who consume charges/strontium/blocks each hour.

gate/device when activated and deactivated (out of fuel, decayed or destroyed) reduce the wormhole life + mass by 2%

they are 2 empire focused on the "time speed" and the 2 other on the "mass ship"
1 of the 2 empire who is focused on the "time speed" have a better "time speed" but have a faulty "mass ship".
1 of the 2 empire who is focused on the "time speed" have a faulty "time speed" but have a better "mass ship".

ex:
"Armar Prototype Singularity Stabiliser'' : time speed modification: 210% / mass ship modification: 60% / anchoring lvl: 1,
"Armar Enhanced Singularity Stabiliser'' : time speed modification: 205% / mass ship modification: 55% / anchoring lvl: 3,
''Armar Reinforced Singularity Stabiliser'' : time speed modification: 195% / mass ship modification: 45% / anchoring lvl: 5,

calculation: warmhole with 20h left + 20 mass;

210% * 60min / 100 = 126min = -2h6min for each hour who pass with the gate activated,
20h * 60min =1200min / 126min = 9.52 (52*60/100=31,2 min)= 9h31min20sec time left before wormhole die.

ship of 5 mass:

60% of 5mass = 3 mass
20 mass - 3mass = 17 mass left before wormhole die.

I'm quite amazed that WH stabilizers thread wasn't shot down by forumers immideately on the basis that it's a terrible idea that has been suggested a million times.
Perhaps, times are changing.
