Great Idea to encourage wormhole exploration.
Terrible idea for wormhole campers.

I'm not sure thus will make nano/frig games more possible. Honestly if (as it sounds likely) a cruiser is coming out 15+/-5km from the wormhole this makes armor gangs even stronger. Massive spread of points and reps will be able to hit everyone. I think a nano gang is too likely to come in relatively closer to the wh (because of lower mass vs an equal ship size) and end up tackled and humped by the armor gang.

I'm assuming that the current sisi is something like 40km cap, 30km battleship, 20km bc, 15 km cruiser. If these numbers get moved down a bit more it just screws nano gangs even more.

You're missing the point. Just bring 50 of some doctrine and you'll be fine.

Actually current sisi has the high end for caps being 40k then for battleships and below mostly >10k unless RNG screws you or your covered in plates.

Corp mate tested this earlier, had capsules landing at ~5K, cruisers at ~10-15K, battleships at ~20, carriers ~30, dreads ~40. If someone could confirm that he didn't manage to confuse cruisers, command ships and battleships that would be great.

they do already, but they're not the cartels you know about.

I won't explain the specifics because I'd rather keep you in the dark.

This isn't what I was getting when I was testing. Full plated MWD mega was averaging around 8.5km. My post is somewhere up above.

Edit: From previous post
8 Plate Mega + MWD
High: 9.4km
Low: 8.0km
Average: 8.8km

Pod
High: 6.2km
Low: 3.6km
Average: 5.1km

You should be able to get an align time of about 10 seconds.

Why would we want nuthuggers they're pretty useless



I used them as an example because they are the fastest and most agile Carrier.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

undisturbed it's fine, but a hic or dic and the carrier belongs to Bob

(no different from any other situation with a cap vs a hic or dic, but by trapping the cap on one side, it gets their mates to commit. if they're rolling with a cap because they're alone, they belong to Bob too, but this opportunity didn't exist before. they spawned in immediate activation range before, which was immediately followed by the hole closing behind them.

lol past tense... it's... a forgone conclusion at this point)

I wonder what hole you literally live in. I had my ship jump to a WH only to have snipers on the other side. Not everybody goes Geronimo straight up, despite your claim IN CAPS LOCK, which in my book totally proves that it is true.

Rest is just a joke. How do kiting ships spread over huge distance help against blobing armor T3 gank, is beyond me.

Speed thing, agree on that.


Oh snap I thought your name seemed familiar. Remember this fight?

https://zkillboard.com/br/1392/

We'll ignore your Alt posting :P

That fight was fun. I knew it was a trap, the Navy Aug kinda made that obvious but I took a swing anyway as I could move around initially. 3/4 of the people on that KM wouldn't be there if whatever it was that caught me had just killed me then and there instead of you guys #falcon'd me to all get on the mail.
Even still it was a blast to have. If that was on a WH you woulda caught me before I got any distance and it'd have been over in seconds. Instead I almost took down your Legion. Thats what I'd like more of and this feels like it'd accomplish that.

To Meytal:
Yes it is too similar to stargates and I'd much prefer something super unique. I'd just like that uniquety to allow more than one type of fleet comp.


Honestly, I dont remember. That was the ganking times. Also all my alts have Sohaj in them so theres not my alts posting I can assure you of that.
And that really was not a fight. One of the reasons I got moved out of that group, I didnt enjoy boasting about "PVP" when its 15 vs 1.
Owait, re-reading! I REMEMBER'! THe one fast talos that pissed us all off cause speed :D Kudos and props, was scared like ****.

Welcome to the bandwagon. We have snacks up the back. Bad, unpopular snacks that no-one really wants. But don't worry we will take your feedback on the snacks next week.

See i think that's a little harsh even if you disagree with me. like i said i still support the mass/distance change but when you combine that with removal of polarization and hell whatever we haven't discovered yet that has changed it starts to become very concerning especially as the two changes mentioned kinda contradict each others intentions or play style goals.

Well - it's not nice to came to work and during EvE forum check find out about another "improve" of W-Space.

I know I wrote post above we should be calm and that we should wait, but I think this approach is obsolete now.

C'mon - polarization mechanic is something making W-Space different from k-space, and of course a BIG tactical element of a fight... So maybe CCP will also give us aggression timer on WH - since they are purely trying change WH space into null-sec.

I guess they will take our opinion under consideration only when we will repeat something called as "Incarna incident"

This is truly sad that CCP was able to learn from its mistakes then and now is repeating them again...

I look forward to the devblog. I hope it explains what this change is supposed to accomplish, because right now it just feels like a way to say "we never intended ragerolling/chaincollapsing to happen, so we're making it harder".

There are a couple of good suggestions in this thread if a change to wh-jump mechanics is happening no matter what, like the inverse mass (high mass ships land close, low mass further out), but my preference would be to leave this alone and rather focus dev effort on something else.

Just because people don't agree with your idea of "game breaking" doesn't make them hypocrites.

I'm not sure if you are trolling or if you are pretending to be dumb... If the polarisation timer gets removed, large groups like ours will not be affected by the range change as we can just jump 20 T3s in and out until the hole closes, without having to worry about slow-boating and polarization timers.

Nothing you say makes any sense Straight


Edit: regarding the polarization removal:

Okay o take a fast look over the postings here since page 30....
So polarization will be also change.

hmm..... interesting. So the Only thing what can be is to make a consistent mechanic for EVE, so everyone know the rules.
And I could life with the change. because you could rolle Holes faster. No more 4 Min Waiting.

But after this there is the final Boarder.... no aggression timer for Wormholes.....
