Wormholes

So the current black hole stats make them undesirable for many.
Affected stat Wormhole class
1 2 3 4 5 6
Missile velocity -10% -19% -27% -34% -41% -50%
Ship velocity +25% +44% +55% +68% +85% +100%
Drone control range -10% -19% -27% -34% -41% -50%
Inertia +25% +44% +55% +68% +85% +100%
Optimal -10% -19% -27% -34% -41% -50%
Falloff -10% -19% -27% -34% -41% -50%

I say leave the stats as is.

Add in some new ones, mostly focused on industrial type activities. Bring more ppl in w-space.
Mining +25% +44% +55% +68% +85% +100%
Research {ME/PE}
Add static mining anomalies & ice to them {yes flame me idc.}
PI bonus
etc etc

I think they should adjust black hole systems as follows. All ships piloted by pilots named Nolen get sucked to the system effect. Any attempts to warp away slingshot you back. Upon a successful pod death you get sucked in for 3 days until finally popping out in a station.

Could call it the "Nolen" effect.

I'd move into a Black Hole system just for the chance to see it happen.

Yuck, but it's better than its current form, actually. You guys can't say this wouldn't bring in an asston more people...

Black holes are not hard to live in. Caldari hulls are very suitable for them. Try it.

I'm not personally experienced with the constraints of C5/C6 black holes, but C1-C4 range from nothing to minor annoyance. PvP is usually brawling anyway, though turrets might have a little harder time than missiles. PvE just requires minor ship changes to be as efficient as a non black hole system.

They can require slightly different ship fits, fleet compositions, and tactics, but if you are willing to adapt instead of trying to stay inflexible and force the world around you to conform to your picture of How Things Should Be, you can come up with some very creative gameplay in black holes.

I like it. CCP will never add ice to j-space because they don't want us NOT surfacing in k-space every once in a while, but otherwise I think the potential for industrial hubs in j-space is cool.

Wow such a brand new idea. I have not heard a current csm already propose this to ccp. Nope. Brand new. And even the first thread about the subject!

How to fix Black Holes:

Remove all moons from them.

Add Ice belts.
C1/2s get sites with small amounts of one racial ice type. (one for each)
C3/4s get sites with medium amounts of one racial ice type. (one for each)
C5/6s get sites with large amounts of one racial ice type. (one for each)

System effects:
Reduce maximum D-scan range by 1.5/3/4.5/6/7.5/9 AUs
Increase cycle time of strip miners, mining lasers, ice harvesters and gas harvesters by 3/6/9/12/15/18%
Increase Agility of all ships by 5/10/15/20/25/30%

Call it done.

would actually be really interesting.

I will say, I do wish black holes were physical objects in space, that could **** your day up.
