Wormholes

Trinkets, first of all I'd like to thank you for helping me fit my Proteus a couple weeks ago. You will be proud to know that while I haven't killed a single thing with it yet, I did manage to almost lose it to gate guns. Luckily it was PLEX tanked and I got out in structure.

As far as my approach, yes I'd like to take polls and surveys. WINGSPAN corp already has bi monthly corp surveys to assess direction and morale, as well as gauge other KPIs among our agents.

Now, I can see from your posts you are operating on a few false assumptions about me. The first is that "Chance cares about being competent at PVP." I enjoy EVE because it's a sandbox where nobody defines success other than yourself. When I want to feel good at games, I play titles that were made with clear goals and score/objectives, and optimize strategy to meet those goals. When I want to play space ego wars, I play Eve.

The second presumption is "Chance knows how to tell if his structures are being attacked." Can't say I've figured that one out yet!

Haha Trinket that POCO switch is so deliciously trolly.

I just recently discovered the Wingspan Delivery Services video collection. Entertaining.

I'm sure Chance will do his best to contribute to the CSM now that he is there.

I expect that the new mechanics and new structures will develop a life of their own and the reasons they need changing, especially in regards to wormhole use, will be lost in the gathering momentum of the shiney new things as they are developed. As deadlines loom and programming compromises are made, we will most likely have a baffling new array of things that do not work right and cannot be easily changed. And we will grumblingly adapt and make do with what we have, to do what we want them to do instead of what they were designed to do.

And you know what? I'm OK with that. That's always been the best part of EvE.

If the innumerable POCo attacks he's getting this week don;t prompt a change to POCO tranfer mechanics, then Marmites will be the ones who Q.Q the most and get it done.

Just sayin', I am working on Annoyikis, a wormhole bastion in a C2 with E545/R474 null-C6 statics (which no one in their right mind wants, ergo no one will ever actually seriously siege) where the POCOs are owned by, viz. Marmites, Wingspan, Pursuit of Happiness, Deadly Fingertips, etc etc. and where wormhole representatives who are annoyed by said wardec station camping griefers come to congreagate and, using alts in omens with Standard M crystals which nev er burn out, ping said POCOs ever couple of hours until said owners of the POCos get jack of receiving notifications and come onto the forums and Q.Q about it.

Annoyikis. it's wormholes for douches.

Well what I'm hearing is you guys don't want docking, and only want mooring if it solves similar problems that POS shields solve. It certainly sounds like a reasonable request.

PS I do personally dislike the 48 hr mobile deport timer but not enough to fight against it unless there's a reason/support.

I do agree with this. If i wanted the null mechanics and mentality I would go live in null. I want to see wormhole space continue to grow as a community with its own lifestyle in the game. My biggest worry with all of these announcements is that CCP will implement across-the-board changes to gameplay primarily targeted at null and those of us living in wormhole space will suffer as a consequence. That's also a lot of why I was upset to hear that corbexx was leaving for Goons. I just want to know that someone is looking out for us and that we won't be overlooked.

It sounds like a pie in the sky idea to me since constructing or modifying gates has always been a very long term goal. That said id say it makes nulsec more like w space more than it would make w space more like nulsec assuming it would give nulsec "statics" in some way.

I'd need to see more details first.

We don't actually know that at this point.

If the effect is tied to gates, they can't be generated in Anoikis (at least as far as we know). So they would be affecting nonstatic wh generation from k-space into (we don't know where). Could also be KS to KS locations.
