Wormholes

Signing up to attend.

gonna attend.

I might actually be able to make this, I thought initially I might miss it, Invite please Corbexx?

Hopefully we can show the nullbears what its like when adults actually talk about things.

I'd like to attend this. It's in the middle of my workday but I'll try to make the time.

WIll work on some good discussion points and questions.

I won't be able to attend because its in the wrong timezone, however, please someone ask this question.

Will one be able to set-up contracts in a citatel, including, Item Exchanges, Auctions and most importantly Courier Contracts?

If the answer to the above is yes, will one be able to set up courier contracts to and from a wormhole system?

I cannot make this (and am a small fish in the WH pond anyway) however if we could get some awareness/clarity raised around these questions I had from the main thread that would be awesome:

They came in regards to WH having such long windows and with no way to shrink them as well as the fundamental differences between k and j space:

I think they are unreasonably long and that it is not valid to treat WH like other space.

The common rally cry, of course, is "live in your space". Which is fine when your space is outside a WH.



Potential things which may help:
Shrink windows to mitigate the time spent babysitting?
Things that actually shoot interlopers so that a single ship can't play logoffski games (this is obviously massively amplified by the lack of local, you need eyes on the grid for the duration)?
Changes to allow it to be more practical to stay home in the window? Chuck out more anoms in that window maybe? I'm not sure, just something to make staying home to babysit not an activity you do in a minimized screen whilst doing other things.

I'm not sure what else to do, which doesn't create an artificial nonsense level of special treatment for WHers.

Not sure if I can be around for this.

A few questions/remarks I want to throw at you:
- I think it makes sense to explain the blogs content before starting any discussion. I didn’t find this blog an easy read with all that new terminology and such.

- Reinforcement timers seem a bit long in the example. This would be way too long to maintain a tight WH control during a WH siege. I would expect to see lot more parties involved in sieges or the besieged having an easier time to pull assets out if they don’t want to fight for their space. Not sure if this is good or bad for the game but certainly very different and probably bad.
Adjustments?

- It seems a bit counter-intuitive that larger structures have longer vulnerability windows and shorter time spans between two vulnerability phases. I would not want to pay more for a less secure fortress. This makes no sense to me. (unless see next point)

- How will defenses of M, L and XL be like compared to a decent POS? Will XL be a capital no go zone? If so, it might not be a good idea to have them in w-space.

- Trollceptors … I would so pay fuel/ISK for a hired NPC defense crew that mans the guns. There are a lot of very small groups in lower class WHs that can’t be online for every vulnerability. I would hate to see them leave in frustration once their default vulnerability becomes vulnerability 2. (I am very sure people like me will do this.) Maybe make this an option for M and L citadels only?

- Wormhole stabilizers… just kidding.

there maybe. but that wont be this one. and it would be pointless to bring it up since its not CCP Nullabors team. You'll also annoy me for not keeping it on topic.
