Wormholes

c6 wormhole space is very stagnant these days, so i propose the following changes:

the statics in c6 wormholes should be variable.

C6s should have 3 types of statics: connections to c5/c6, connections to c3/c4 and connections to c1/c2.

When you close your static, you get a 50% chance of spawning a high level or low level static connection. So if you're in a c6 and you currently have a c6 static, you have a 50% chance of spawning another c6 static when you close that, if not it spawns a c5 static. Same goes for the other two connection types.

In addition to this, I would alter the c6 to c2 connections to meet the same mass and jump restrictions as c6 to c1 WHs.

Any thoughts?

Confirming, c6 space is dead because of the current player base, not the statics.
Under the guise of c5 space is for pvp! a few former noho groups have found c5 space to be the opposite, if anything its even more work than being in c6 space.

but sure farm the hell out of stuff while it lasts, ccp is noticing a lack of wh deaths and you guys are racking in to much isk with out losing enough ships, so I dont see how changes arnt going to happen. because of that risk reward thing.

Im totally fine with the removal of cap escalations completely. (c5 + c6)

Failing that because sigs dont change over dt any more, sites should remember there escalation state from previous day.
I.e you get only one set of full cap escalations per site.

Possibly detune c6 sites so a group of sub caps with 3-4 ships can clear them. one time we cleared some ones c6 sites in front of them in ishtars and the salt in local was dead sea worthy.

This is just blatantly incorrect.
Mechanics wise, C6 space is perfect for PVP since it's super easy to roll a C6 static and when you get the PVP entity density high enough in C6 space, you end up hitting other PVP groups to fight very often.
Few years ago this was somewhat the case where the vast majority of C6 groups were PVP focused and all the PVE groups being in C5 space since C5s are MUCH safer for farming.

PS: adding a 2nd static to C6s would be nice too. bringing them in line with the other even numbered classes. (Hell, all Whs should have 2 statics.)

If you remove all the non krabs only the krabs will remain.

Can you name some that quit for that reason? Im just very behind on news.

Not many quit for that reason(unless they where evicted), Just alot never moved up to even more dangerous space. and preferred to stay where they where instead of take the risk.

To roll into a c6 1/112 chance of finding the one you want
If there where 10 us tz corps who liked to pew you had a 1/12 chance of finding one of those groups.

There is 512 c5's

you now need 5 x 10 pvp groups of the same size tz to get any where near the same ratio or chance of making engagable contact, Last I checked we are no where near that in c5 space.

In regards to fighting the same people over again I dont know if you tried null space of late, but its exactly the same there.
(at least for small gang)
For the most part im happy to say we are pretty good friends with all the people we fought with alot. I wouldnt expect any one else to understand but at some point all you really want in the game is a place to call your own.

The t3 meta was getting a bit boring, I dont miss that at all.


Any way, I do the stuff I like in game now, a dash of pve, with a dosh of Pvp, and a sprinkle of salt mining.
but on the doctors orders I have to cut back on the salt though.

SYJ left. Huge alliance at the time solely because they couldn't find pvp (generally outnumbered people). Few Years ago though. I think Pell declared Wspace dead and that he crowned himself winner of wormholes. Left soon after :-).

C6 space lost its appeal since it's all renters and farmers, with minimal reason to go get rid of them (there so farmed to death the price of everything tanked). It provides too much comfort for minimal work. Close/crit the hole, clear out all sigs on your probe mapper, farm sites. If something shows up on probe mapper, warp off.

Now this capability has been around for years, but its become more significant lately as people have pretty much expert knowledge on how to close/crit holes and run sites.

There is a lot that can be done, from removing escalations or moving escallations to shattered wormholes, to dual static c6, to downgrading c6 space to c5, to moving gas or assets out and into shattered space.

What's proper? What will CCP do? For the next year.. probably nothing as everything is focused on Sov ATM.

i know this might be a foreign concept to you but some people actually enjoy PVP.

since you brought it up, chain rolling is for muppets who are too lazy to scan their chains. that's entirely your own fault.
it also becomes a non issue if you add a second static.


^this is exactly what I said in my first response. like i said, the issues you see in C6 space are not due to mechanics.

it might be worse if there were 500 of them, you'd have the same amount of bears, just spread out over 5x the space.

If c6 got a second static I (and others) would reconsider them.
