Player Features and Ideas Discussion

My idea is to make NPC Nullspace having more connections to NULL space , without differencing if this is other NPC Null Space or Sov nullspace.

So this will mean more connections to those deep sov space pockets, or somewhere near them.

We are talking about WH that are opening from NPC Null Space , so K162 can be in SOV Space.

If i could decide about the point of exit i could tie to a :
- number of rats killed in specific constellation
(and/or)
- number of Jumps Made in Specific constellation

This way those new WH will create content.

On the other side all Wormholes should have different Total Mass +-20% of this way there will be no more safe way to close a unwanted wormhole using few capitals.

One thing does not exclude the other.
Check the amount of space held by renting empires.

Remember that Nullsec is not intended to be safe place, but if you do something in proper way nullsec still will be safer than a higsec.

Nullsec mostly about creating PVP content , and i hope that CCP dont plant to change that.

Rental space is never Deep Sov Null, that is too valuable to rent.

If "yes" means "no" then yes, definitely.

Cyno means capital ship usage or titan bridges - and i think eve have way to much of them recently.
I don't like eve to become a place where only people with big toys can have some fun.

We are talking about small gangs , that will base on a cruiser or smaller ships , can be even battle cruisers roaming space.

This is creating content for both : raiding parties and the locals.
In case of the renting empires that we have now :

Check the grey , green and tan (im bad at colors ) - those are vast areas that in many cases have their NPC space 20-30+ jumps away.

CCP states that it don't want to loose players because eve becomes boring - as how long you can rat in your raven , or mine in your barge.

This kind of wormholes will put some additional content to the game - as they will make your heart to go a bit faster - and this is what eve is about.

Well the guy said a "one time use with high mass" so please explain to me how this is drastically different from what a cyno does other than not being able to choose a specific location to jump to.

Would the one time use mean that a frigate can come jump through and close it? This would mean that you wouldn't be able to see where the wormhole leads without it closing behind you... So please tell me how you envision such and "interesting" concept working.

Ah okay, that is how wormhole already work. So yeah, i'm all for increasing null to null wormholes that have a low "jumpable mass". However, the ability to close a wormhole using large ships is a great tactic for trapping people and forcing fights.

I'd like to see more c5/c6 -> null wormholes appear, and not for the reason you might think. Please give me a moment.

0.0 guys are often belittled as nullbears but my experience is that often, when we have a wormhole open up into a sov system, the residents behave rationally, and are quite often willing to bring an expeditionary force to the entrance and give us a fight. Certainly if we jump a force in they will respond fairly quickly and we all get the fights that we enjoy - it's after all why we play the game.

These fights are rare because the circumstances for them are rare, but when they occur they are great fun.

In my experience, the 0.0 guys fight in a variety of fleet types. The fights are taxing, enjoyable and in a way, honourable.

When fighting other w-space corps it's just a T3 blob or nothing - usually nothing because both sides pretty much knows who's going to win before anything kicks off. The only way a fight starts is if one side is surprised - and in that case the outcome is not even in question. It's a hollow victory for the winners and a bitter waste of ships in return for zero fun for the losers.

So more c5/c6 -> null wormholes would mean:

1. some more management on the part of sov holders (sorry about that).
2. bringing together willing participants in combat more often
3. more chances for 0.0 folk to reap the riches of w-space without leaving home.
4. easier movement of capitals in and out of c6 space.

I think on the whole, everyone would win.

The only guys who wouldn't are miners. However, these guys are already well versed at protecting themselves by bubbling wormholes and gates. I don't think there's a big downside for them.

Thanks for reading.

Don't be silly, wormhole space never gets improvements like this. All updates are for k-space and we're lucky if ccp don't mess stuff up in w-space when expansion time comes around.

I just multiplied all the null->c6 wormhole counts by 100, I hope this meets your expectations!
