Wormholes

hello all!
i was suggested this forum by gm motonari.

i have an opportunity:
i would find it cool if there were known systems with their own maps which can only be reached by traveling through wormholes and returning back to known space would also only lead though wormholes.

there are no "known systems" (with own stellar maps and security status, lets say 2 and up to many more solarsystems connected to each other) only reachable by travelling through wormhole systems.
there exist no other maps than known space, when youre in a wormole, you only get the usual (main) map and the systems on the map are not reachable.


maybe travelling through wormholes, deeper and deeper, following certain code(s), could suddenly get you in a system with its own jumpgates and its own map of solar systems. travelling back to the "main" map would also require scanning and since wormholes wander its impossible to connect these systems to the main map

and in those minimaps, clones and npcs (like agents and concord) could live just like everywhere else in eve.

the story could be, that even when deploying somewhat signal probe in the "minimap-system", that signal can not be detected from the "main map", which makes it absolutely impossible to connect these "minimaps" to the main map. (like trillions of AU away or what, simply undetectable)

all what clones know about these minimaps is that: when travelling through wormholes, following a certain code, it leads to systems, which neighbor-systems are always in the same stellar position and thereby can be connected with jumpgates and settled by agents and even cocorde, while of couse the sec status may vary like it does on the main map.

the only point is, that these discovered, known and mapped systems can only be reached through wormholes.

when entering such systems the map-button should open a new minimap, showing all reachable systems (the main-map may be shown on click and its systems should say: not reachable).

(maybe on somewhat jubilees day, systems in those minimaps can generate tunnels, leading directy to the main map)

and of course, the systems in that minimap also generate wormhole-tunnels, wich makes travelling between minimap-systems > wormhole-system > > whatever-systems > ...-systems > main map-systems, possible.

i think this may have potential for an expansion-set and may add a completely new way of gamplay, while upholding the original.

thank you all,

Quite a long time ago, I had a discussion like this with a few friends. I was drunk, and I'm bad at paint, but I made this...

And... I don't know, always thought it would be cool if wormholes were the route to other regions or even another galaxy... ya know, since the Eve Gate was a wormhole that led to another galaxy. :)

Proc, did your design inspiration come from a native African ceremonial mask by chance?

How was the name Frank Sinatra not taken? Do space nerds just have no class?

People, we need to discuss the real issue here.

I saw something similar to that image in your hole the other night ;)

At least Chitsa's vision of the WHers vs Nullseccers war would finally come true

On the old forum there was already a thread about the idea:

I hope that the new space that will be reachable through the new stargates also gets holes in w-space.
That way we can beat the null sec dude to the new space.
Maybe we can even try a blockade :p .
