Wormholes

It doesn't really matter what percentage gets paid out. Insurance is still a faucet. Insurance fees are an isk sink, and if you pay enough in fees the net effect can work out to be a sink. I doubt that the system works out to a net sink, though. It was a faucet in 2010. ( http://cdn1.eveonline.com/community/QEN/QEN_Q4-2010.pdf - p. 20 )

It may have changed since then. I don't think it has, but I'll freely admit that's me making a guesstimate. That's why I said ships getting blown up is an isk faucet. It was a little bit sloppy of me to say so because technically it's the insurance system but because of default payouts there's no way of getting around the isk injection.

However, ships getting blown up is not an isk sink, even if we get rid of insurance all together. It's a mineral sink. But not an isk sink.

If you keep arguing that it is I'd like you to tell me exactly which isk it is that gets disappeared, and from which wallet, when my ship goes pop.

So odyssey is dying right in front of our eyes:

1. exploration looting cans will be removed.
2. Scanner will be reversed.

whats left from this expansion?? nothing.
and you know why? because that is what happens when expansions have 0% content and 100% bug fixes+convenience changes.

This proposal think purely one-sided. It is beneficial only for the striker.
And severely infringes upon the inhabitants of the wormhole. Now there is another decline of the population of the wormhole and most of them are empty. If you want to make the game more dangerous - remove exulted in zeros.

Ermm, nope.
b) you can get almost all holes (not c1s and those with 3B mass) critted with 2-3 jumps. That takes about 30 secs even if you do it one after another and with ejecting on the hole. That´s not enough time to launch probes on the other side, scan it down and bookmark/give warpin there. And if you jump anything through chances are good you will be stuck. The rollers can even put the capitals on the hole before jumping a scanner, because they are 100% safe there too.

a)The sig will appear the moment the fleet aligns towards you and the T3, covertops, bomber or SOE ship uncloaks next to you and points. So at exactly the same time they show up on dscan or combatprobes. Throwing a purely cloaky T3 fleet at any serious farminggroup will just lead to lots of lossmails. So the only change will be people not using heavytackle but mass-light tackle to maximise the delay.

So overall there is almost no difference between timedalayed and time/mass delayed.
Pretty much as already said here, but I finished typing before reading further...
Also there seems to be a missconception about this change being good for PvP. It´s not. It is good for ganking but actually horrible for forcing actual fights (most of those happen for holecontrol or on the roll).

Any change based on dscanrange makes the detection a diceroll if you hit a <14 AU or a huge system. Is that a good gamemechanic?

It´s really nice to see CCP looking at least a small bit at j-space, but there are way better suggestions and discussions about the issues here on the forums. Pretty much starting at day 1.
I really hope this suggestion wasn´t discussed with the CSM (esp the Wh guys) before posting it here, if they seconded it as it is dickpunching might be appropriate.

Quoted for truth

If you're finding it unrewarding to chainroll for pew, please consider that nullsec has plenty of targets that are very vulnerable to hit and run

No Two Step, that is not what I am saying. I am not against PvP and I don't mind PvP motivating features... But if you have PvE content, you should address both forms of play and not only favor 1 above the other.

The way wormholes work right now is fair for the people who are on the ball and pay attention. It's fine, it's been fine in the past and people should learn to adept to small changes. I had no problems adjusting to the changes when they introduced the Overlay.

Spoken like a true Null Sec'er.

The same ones who whine and cry daily about how Cloaks should burn fuel or something. All because they get worried when a scary face appears in Local chat.

Oeps... misread...

yeah because ccp broke discovery b4 that we had no problem ganking ppl. like I said b4 at least 70% of ppl farming didn't spam probes b4 and I seriously doubt they will start now........your right tho instead of dropping probes I should have to set drag bubbles and decloaking cans in every site I want to run(totally balanced to your just being able to roll a static and warp in on people b4 anyone even knows there is a new connection I mean that takes the same effort as setting 100s of bubbles and moving them all the time right?).......ppl complaining that spamming dscan and probes isn't fun......that's why it dont get done.....that's why its vigilance. you can have all the fun u want ignorance is bliss just dont cry when the cloaky t3s get u. there is no way that a site that ppl can come thru from a different system should not show up on probe scans. that's just crazy. all that needs to be done is to rollback discovery scan and most wh residents are back to happy and waiting for the pos changes......there is plenty of pvp in wh. we have a whole community that tells ppl they will evict you if you dont give good fights........I find it more disturbing however that you seem to think that larger entities need to be taking wh......this is like the last place u can get 0.0 style small gang warfare(20v20ish and smaller) and tbh most of us would like to keep it that way. its why we dont live in null. and one last point about "god forbid there be pvp in wh"......im gonna go out on a limb and say that PER CAPITIA WH has the most pvp in eve. If probes are nerfed like this ganks will spike then the pvp will fall off as everyone just moves out cuz the only profitable thing Is rolling your static looking for suckers. I guess that's how u get a big blue doughnut in wh space as well.......well played ccp well played

if you feel that defenders have it too easy take 1 simple step.

Step 1 = Disable the sensor overlay in WH space altogether, make it so the only way a wh dweller knows what sigs are there is by scanning.
