Test Server Feedback

I wish we had the SDE already with ID to name relations :(

I was expecting 10 or more stations like in Jita, not only four (I hope none of them is a kickout though, as that will make them effectively unusable). Also, if you prohibit deployable bubbles, then it's not really a nullsec system but something gimmicky (although the same can be said for the ban of capital ships, that I find less objectionable as even without it, people would rather use a T3 in such system).

I can sense that CCP Fozzie will be leaving not for Riot but for Apple, as they both follow a similar philosophy - don't give your customers what they want, give them what you want and expect them to adapt their habits just to use their shiny new toy.

Your bot doesn't work, fyi.

Please leave a note here when the bot gets back to work. Thx.

Really like this addition and the new WH systems. Sounds like it will be fun.

I don't think more stations will make any difference at all. 4 seems right for a WH system, and well i guess it will end up with a station that everyone uses, and all the other stations everyone ignores. Even with station games and bubbles.

Also the distance between stations is going to be interesting. I expect the WHs to often be similar distances from each other, making scanning them down interesting. Will the WH have massive mass limits making them impossible to collapse? Or is rolling something we will see?

-removed- will post in the devblog discussion thread

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
It needs to be a lot bigger and a lot more stations.

I like 1000+ AU and about 15 to 25 stations.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone. The bot was down for a few hours but is up and running again now, apologies for that!

Of the four stations, two are kick-out. This will severely limit the usage of those stations, and risks crowding everyone into the other two stations. Is there any way at all to change that? Considering the undocking point and the station models for the two kick-outs, I have my doubts, but it can't hurt to make mention of it.

Edit :: It turns out that they're only kick-out for Destroyers and below. Cruisers and up can stop within the docking radius (though with cruisers, you seem to have to stop immediately or it becomes an occasional crap-shoot regarding whether you're within range or 100-200 meters out).

BC's and BS's seem to stop within docking range without difficulty, even if you wait a few seconds before trying to stop.

In short:

Shuttles, Frigs, and Destroyers: Outside of docking range.
Cruisers: Possibly outside of docking range. Use care when undocking.
Battlecruisers and Battleships: Inside of docking range.

End Edit

The frigate wormholes need to be redone or removed.

If you remove them in total and just create cruiser size holes, you'd probably have more traffic.

If you don't want to remove them, you will have to allow procurers, and the deep space transport to go I to them also. You'd have to add in gas sites that spawn no sleepers in there also. That is a lot of patchwork to get these things to work. You may just want to change them to cruise size holes so that wormholers will actually use them.

The only other thing I can think that would cause people to use it is to remove the requirement to scan down frigate wormholes and just have them show up automatically on the overview as a warpable sig with no probing required. That's very anti wormhole, but would remove the need for destroyers, frigates and the rest to fit probe scanners (yes mobile depots and probes work also, but it's a bunch of extra steps to deal with something people don't gererally like.

This isn't like faction warfare. This is putting a cap on just little ships in order to access an entire system of space. Those little ships don't have the support themselves in order to live adequately in this micro space without mega band aids, such as the wolf rayet effects, which the bandaid excludes even more of the ships.

I like the concept, but the actual practical use is minimal if not none.

Debate whether this is a true and viable option for frig wormholes and those 25 new systems.
