WH Change Suggestion (ACTUAL SOLUTION)

The current changes are:
A significant decrease in the spawn rate of direct Nullsec to Nullsec wormhole connections.
Small decreases in the spawn rate of random Null -> C5 and C5 -> Null connections. This change does not affect static connections.
A decrease in the lifetime of Nullsec WH connections to 16 hours (most were previously 24 hours)

CCP and Shat Dragon tell us it is too easy to project force, as the system currently is. Then, why doesn't CCP change it to:

A significant decrease in the spawn rate of direct Nullsec to Nullsec wormhole connections with a mass that allow large gangs to pass (20+ cruisers).
A significant increase in the spawn rate of direct Nullsec to Nullsec wormhole connections with a mass that allow only small gangs to pass (20 cruiser or below).

Keep the other changes too if you want, I dont care. But limiting projection using mass is a better idea then simply removing WH connections. This will allow you to actually have smaller gangs going around EVE and kill **** without the fear of blobs running rampant and project their force all over the place.

Make the wormholes that allow 20 cruisers to be a one way trip if you actually take 20 cruisers and I'd support this. Decreases force projection without seriously hampering roams.

I do see one negative at the moment, and that is sending an interceptor fleet through with larger ships staged on the other side.

what about a new type of WH that collapses after a set number of jumps?
say, 20 jumps in whichever direction, or 10 jumps both ways?

could also be mass limited to further spice things up?

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

20 cruisers is a "small force?"

How did you Veterans start?

Last battle I was in before leaving nullsec again was 2k people in system, so yeah, 20 cruisers is a small force.
