Give it to us.

Make it work by forcing people to go to a random wormhole system, and then being able to generate an exit workmhole to k-space.

Basically:

Step 1: Ship in k-space, dedicated to creating wormholes, with a very powered up module, engages module. Needs to be at least 1 AU from a celestial body.

Step 2: Ships in k-space, including the generating worm-hole ship, jump in.

Step 3: Wormhole in k-space leads to random system in w-space. Entire fleet jumps in and is there.

Step 4: Ships in w-space, dedicated to creating wormholes, creates exit wormwhole to to a constelation in k-space.

Step 5: Fleet jumps in.

Steps 1 and 4 can be prevented by any system owner via the deployment of a Spatial stabilizer. This module should be a large structure that prevents the creation of wormholes, including natural ones. Also don't make it able to pinpoint a specific system, make is constelation-dependent.

Profit.

While you're at it, consider the creation of ships designed for travelling in wormholes. Essentially, have these ships not account their mass when transversing wormholes. Use the unused ship hulls for that.

Fun!

Cloaks are fine, it's local that's the issu..... oh wait. Sorry my bad. When ever I see a bad thread here, I tend to automatically think it's an AFK cloak whine/nerf.

This is what I think you are proposing, please correct me!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!one!!!!

A ship that's function is to bridge a fleet from known space, into a random W-space. The bridger is forced to travel with the fleet.

When in W-space, the bridger can then bridge the ship to any constellation of its choosing???

Problems with this idea:

1.) Path's through W-Space are unpredictable on purpose. The ability to set a destination system, constellation, or even region is far too powerful. Leave WH travel random!!!!

2.) There is no limits proposed. I could bridge 50 supercaps and 100 BS's with this.... This would pretty much eliminate much of the protections WH dwellers have, and setup open season on WH dwellers by bored SC pilots. Why is this a good thing?

3.) There is no mention of risk or cost: What is the cost of bridging? Should it require fuel?? Only Cap?? What are the risks of bridging?? After the ship bridges, is the ship immobile? Can it cloak? Can it immediately bridge again?

4.) How might this be abused??
--- Alliance in outermost nullsec regions can suddenly bridge their freighters to W-space, and then to hi-sec.... and return the same way, thereby essentially providing risk free logistics to anywhere in the galaxy!
--- Deep WH residents now have a very easy risk-free method for getting their goods back to hi-sec.

I'm sure there are other problems, but this is what I came up with off the cuff.

Of course, abusing it may very well have been the intent.

So you want to instantly move an entire fleet across the universe?

Projection of force issue here.

You can already use whs to move stuff around.

probe a wh to hisec from low or null, move cargo there, go to your dest with a covops, probe a wh there to hisec, then haul the cargo across hisec into the dest wh.

It just involves work, risk and is somewhat balanced.
