Wormholes

Fair question so here is a straight answer. I actually like the mechanic because it gives some people a sense of safety. I have engaged plenty of ships on a hisec wh and killed them. And I have killed just as many off the hole as the conflict over the space around the wh spreads deeper into the wh. I have enraged entire wh corps with as few as one bomber pilot. Fighting outnumbered by 6 to one is a lot of FKN fun...even if its on a hisec. I've killed everything from pods to carriers using the current mechanics. Changing the mechanic because some wormholers are not smart enough or won't take the time to use advanced tactics takes the game in the wrong direction.

There are already mechanics in place for fighting in High Sec. As Jason pointed out, even with a warning window, this will further place wormholes out of the reach of newer players and make industry even more difficult in WH space. I see nothing about this that would increase WH population which should be the ultimate goal of anyone wanting to increase pvp targets.

gudfights should just be expected not to be had on high sec exits.

To be fair, I can't think of anytime I saw someone hanging out on a highsec hole that was looking for a "gudfight"

Well done :D of course this is a tactic which might work, but how would you engage smart people camping the high sec? they'll just ignore you or jump into HS beeing safe, giggle and look for a new hole to camp :/

Not what the OP is about, but in terms of timers it's always bothered me that the description of WH's lifetime always says it will decay in a couple days, but it's always around 24 hours.

Pls more variability in WH lifetime. I'd like to see WH's exist in lifetimes of between 1 hour - 1 week.

I know about that, but i was talking about smart hostiles, not about those who dont run when an orca is going to collapse their hole due to lack of scouts ....

I wish you could tell this to the people who refuse to fight in a pulsar.

I would invert the load on this one. Why not making the ships that just got out of a wh with a timer that lets them be killed?
It has a double edge in it, since, IE: you could be the one that could be ganked if you leave, but also you can kill those pesky ppl that play hs games.

Could be. But suspect sounds harsh and against the ops thought. I tryed to offer an alternative. And with a little lore. You are gankable couse you are not protected by CONCORD up to 2 or minutes, that is more than enough to kill someone playing hisec games.

lol, lore.

I think only toons exiting that have an aggression timer should be engaged in hs, this way you can camp the hs hole like you would camp any other hole in the game. But only the toons that have the timer would be able to engage in hs. if you jump before you get locked, the you are not subject to anything, and can warp away at your leisure.

Sure a bomber can launch a bomb and give another player a timer, but I doubt the bomber will be able to jump out and tackle if he's 30 km away, even if his buddies are right on the wh, they will not have any timer so to speak so they will not be able to engage.

Just because something is complicated does not mean we should just dismiss it, this is EVE after all. WH are complicated enough for a newb, I don't think adding one more mechanic will dissuade any new player in either direction.

I am seeing how this may push into the idea that hs is supposed to be 'safe' space. But as of right now this escape is a no consequence PvP zone and is not in line with the rest of in game PvP.
