CSM Campaigns

It is great to have you on the race Corby. I have known Corbexx for years and we often have heated talks about CSM and wspace mechanics.

Your sir will definatelly be on my ballot.

Why is "Wormhole Stabilizers" a bad idea?

I would think it is a good idea!

Am I wrong for thinking that?

I think 99% of wormhole space will agree with me here it's a terrible idea.

This is maybe an extreme case. You "stabilize" the wormhole take in 50 dread's, 10 carriers and a support fleet. You can then reinforce everything really fast. You come home unstabilize the wormhole and repeat. Two days later your very likely to find a wormhole you have reinforced (atleast in C6 space) and you can then clear that system out.

Invasions are hard work, having stabilizers makes it far to easy to do this.

I'd want to sit down and speak to them about it.

As a member of NOHO, I often take part in our "Bhaals Deep™" ops where we take a couple caps and a support fleet in to other wormholers home system. I think I can safely say we do this more than any other group. We've often facing 9 or more caps, with sometimes upwards of 6 dreads.

We've won some of these and lost some. The ones we have lost have never been due to dread blapping. Six month to a year ago I did think it was a issue, there is even posts on the wormhole section where I have said this. The recent tracking nerf helped and I think totally justified (especially to the Moros). But now with a decent fleet comp and fittings, people knowing what to do, I don't think its as big a issue as some think.

If your not ready for it, you can sure be in for a surprise. It's alot easier to say "hey dreads blapping is a issue" rather than "hey I just MWD'd by prot,bhaal, etc straight at that Moros and died horribly, cos I made a poor choice" I'm not saying people who have lost stuff is always due to this, but you would be surprised how many times people do that or just sit still and don't move.

So, I'd speak to them about it but I'd want to keep them how it is now. The dread tracking nerf I think was needed at the time, I don't think it needs any more now.

Hope that answers your question.

What about a deployable that could extend or reduce the life of a wormhole?

Corbexx, in your OP you state you were unimpressed with the other canidates. What was it that didn't impress and why are you a better choice than them?

How fast do you want these things to reduce the life of a wormhole? If you know what your doing you can close wormholes really fast. Ok maybe not as fast as Shadoo saying armour hacs. But alot faster than using armour hacs.

I still really don't think there is any need for them.

The only thing I see is the forum trolling bit. Sure, he has done some of that. So have I. However, it shouldn't factor into someones ability to the job at all.

Lastly, trolling or otherwise, I would prefer to have someone running who was active on the forums rather than someone who rarely ever posted until they decided to run for CSM.

Let me clarify my post. I didn't mean that as an attack on you. I meant it towards the handful of people who think trolling is the worst thing ever in life, and no one smart trolls, etc..

Corbexx is a cool dude, was a pleasure singing for him! (and his pals)
