You might not prey on mining barges and such as a primary target, but some people do. And then other groups prey on them, and then they are in turn preyed on by other groups, until you get to the force sizes and coherent doctrines that larger wormhole entities bring to the mix. There is a food chain of PvP; if you don't have any Krill, you end up with starving Great Whites.


Would prefer an analogy like a lake with only ten starving northern pikes of varying sizes in it.

I will say in all my time in w-space I caught someone trying to catch someone else, other than actual paid merc contracts, maybe once. Either way, in your analogy the people looking to gank miners, or the people looking to gank people ganking miners, are not looking to have an actual brawl, so they would still hide or log off at the sight of any real fight. You don't get more fleet battles by bringing in more farmers, you get them by bringing in more FCs.

reviewing kbs, when was the last time this happened? compared to pre-hyperion i wonder if overall kills in wpsace has gone up or down? same question for the amount isk killed...


I wonder how many people are flooding the market with their safely farmed nanoribbons..

The Problem is CCP is also doing all this changes and doesn't ask wormhole people.

You guys tell me

Any of you vote on and changes?

Did you guys give any ideas to ccp ?

We suppose to have representative for WH Space in CSM. Are these CSM people ask our opinions ?

They don't ask our opinion about changes or how changes coming alone. They just decide deliver with CSM and thats it.

First think needs to change is we need to able to put our opinions and decide what is next for wormhole space. Not somebody else.

CCP did ask us, though. Look what happened as a result :P

And I'm pretty sure we've thrown caps in for PvP through a WH post-Hyperion.

That's good because we did not vote for anything. :P

Yeah we can't chain role anymore:P that wormhole needs to be spawn closer again. :P

Other changes are fine I think I can live with but that jump spawn kill our rolling events :P

nanoribbons are climbing in value. QED, wormhole space is losing population.

Frigate holes, when was the last time you went through one or interacted with one? That's right - the day of the patch, or at latest, the day before they changed the k162 description to read "small ships only". I found 6 in 3 wormholes last night and used none of them.

I think what players can do is stop being lazy mealy-mouthed cowards and join smaller corporations. One problem linked to the atrocious state of POS security is the paranoia which people exercise in recruitment, and also exercise in their efforts to be recruited. people will not recruit toons with colourful or somewhat lengthy employment records, and the corollary of that is that people are afraid to join smaller corps and give it a try, because they think they are putting dirty great fingerprints of unreliability all over their rap sheet. So they hold out to join a big corp.

objectively, this may seem like a good move. You get reflected prestige, glory, and get content creators and buds to fly with. But realistically, you have just as much chance of fitting in, finding a niche, making spacebuds you will fly with for 6-12+ months at a time, and having fun.

But speaking as a content creator, the glory you get to bask in which i shed is just as valuable and far more hilarious than you'll get by being Random Member 421 in SSC, or Random member 322 in hard knocks. Being Valued member 32 in BUGRY or any other decent, small, PVP corp in w-space is that you get to participate in just as much PVP, more often, via more and more nefarious means. I mean...people will still attack my bait haulers. They wouldn't even bother if they saw the SSC, LZHX or HK tags.

So there is as much an onus on the recruit as the recruiter to make a good decision. New bros can and should join smaller corps, even if it is to do mining or gassing or PI. Speaking for myself only, i will willingly let you welp a Slasher day and night just because it distracts a guy for 10 seconds from DPSing my boat. That might not sound like glory, but if you prostitute yourself onto a T3 killmail and lose a 5m ISK frig in the process, your killboard will look red hot after the twentieth one.

That said, since CCP is about gifting limitless free ISK in Incursions, they really DO need to address wormhole ISK especially in low-class wormholes where you can't magically escalate more money out of nothing. C4 mags and radars (relics, data w/e) have Incursion level DPS from the 4 Safeguards and you make 125-ish million from a site which doesn't respawn infinitely.

In fact, wormhole space is the only space where the only limitless ISK is the PI, and that's not spectacular.

People are just being rational about it, and funding hours of wormhole boredom by putting up with incursion neckbeards.

Venturing out on your own, taking a chance on a smaller corp, starting your own corp; all good things.

Personally I am not for evicting corps from wormholes as we need the population to stay although I am for whatever generates content. We want MORE PVP communities in wormhole space. We do also want to get a new breed of PVE toons. I say start finding and spamming wormhole advertisements. I've already gotten 2-3 bites from small PVE groups for a reasonable Class 2 wormhole.

Lets get a new breed of wormholer in to wormhole space!

I think I have attacked people setting up a gank probably 10-20 times during my time in wormhole space - but I didn't mean things quite so literally.

I wasn't referring to people being in the same system at the same time; I was talking about people having the confidence in themselves to engage a group that is 'better' than they are and that they won't be slaughtered to a humiliating extent.

My group won't take on NOHO, nor will we take on AE, if we have the choice. They are too high up the ladder for us to reach. We can do nothing to them; all we can do is die in a fire.

We have, with careful scouting, taken on The Red Circle. They bloodied our nose, but we fought them to a standstill after taking some losses, and both groups stood down with 'good fights' on both sides.

Groups less competent than us have taken a risk in trying to get us to engage. We have beaten them on many occasions, but on a few it has turned out less well than we expected.

There is a food chain.

You need the Krill.

To much letters for me....

As i already said, give the people more possibilities to earn ISK.
PVP is coming from alone.

And well we adapt to the new changes. And well not all is bad.
Yes, there are More Wormhole Connections.
Yes, you need more People for Farming C4s.

So, CCP give the People the chance to make ISK in Lower WH Classes, and a bunch of people are willing to move into the WH Space. -> More People in WH Space - > More PVP in WH Space

I live since four- five years in W-Space, I cant really remember when I moved into W-Space in my first C2.
But I can remember, at the golden day of w-space, in a C2 you were able to buy two - three PLEX per month.
And have fun with three or four People.

So what happen over the Time ..... out of my point of view.... cant tell what is the situation in higher WH Systems.
ISK Income in lower WH Systems droped.

Well bigger Corps in Higher WH system made there money with Cap eskaltions, etc....
But for smaller Corps rise the risk for earn some ISK to high.

Why should they go into W-Space, If they have Blue Heaven in NULL sec.

In NULL Space its much easier to make ISK.
I don't think I have to explain why.
Lokal, Intel, Site spawning.... etc...

And as I said at the beginning of my post, rise the income and people will come back.


Okay that's my point of view, if I am wrong please so tell me.

Still in a C5 and still rolling holes. How we do it has changed but its still going on.

Maybe you need to get out of your comfort zone and I dunno, experiment?

Just because you live in a c5 or c6, doesn't mean you are stinking rich. A system can only support so many people really. And you can't fully cap escelate in c5/c6 static (you can partial, but at a much higher risk).

Also remember, when you run cap escelations, you field like a 20b+ worth. If you get ganked, it will take you around 8 hours of grinding sites to recoup the loss, assuming you have the sites to do it. (and if you have like 2 sites spawning for a entire week, well good luck with that). If you lost a tengu or similar running sites in a c3, you probably would spend just as long grind sites in a c3 to recover that as well.

If it was just about isk, I would just stick to industry in high sec.

Also there is a limit of how many sites you really feel like running. I look at it as a need to cover bills and loss's not to get as much in your wallet as possible. Although any month where more come in than out is a good thing, but been on both side of the fence there.

I think the risk is no so high, bigger corps have more Scouts, have more options how they react.
So if you close your Static in a C5 / C6 I think you will have a realy peacefully day with PVE.

I get reports from our other WH Corps, since Hyperion , they have more then five holes at day,.. that's not so funny for smaller corps. And with the new frigs holes, what can happen in a C5/C6... a Frig fleet will never go into a Site with Caps and Sleeper in it.
Frig-Fleets looking only for Prey in Lower WH System and NULL sec for prey. With ten frigs you can kill a Tengu but not a carrier or a dread.

So if you field 20b+ in a Cap escelations, the other side need also bring more stuff to gank you out of your ships.
Or do you want to tell me 4 Carrier and 2 Dreads + Supports are easy to kill? A Small Corp will never engage you.
They will try to combat close there WH.
Only bigger Corps with 15 - 25 People in the Fleet will fight.

So i think, you have more loss, if you get ganked, but lesser RISK to be ganked.
Or i am wrong in this point ?

And i think its just about the ISK / RISK Factor for many players / smaller corps.
They calculate in this way.
To many Wormholes = to much risk = more time to close the WH = lesser income -> moving out the W-space
