Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So the idea is like this! Every corp or alliance that lives in woormwhole space is relative safe! How about making a special ship that can keep a woormwhole open or make it bigger for a limited time ...using resources like Dreads using to siege ...i am sure that u can develop this idea ! No space should be safe ...why they should have keepstars in woormwholes that nobody ever would ever consider to atack... if this special ship that can modify woormwhole mass and lifetime would never be invented! ...Please respond if u like the idea! ... Regards MickyC

Wormholes are too safe? I think this might be a new one.

They can be attacked and destroyed. You just had to use different tactics than k-space.

If you want the WH and are prepared to take it, you will know how your attacks need to be and how to take down the structure. It happened all the time with POSes, it will happen with these also.

I think u miss by a mile what i said!... i am not aiming now for in game conflicts and what and would not happen... WH space is quite vast ! Its about a concept ... WH are almost 100% safe for a relative big alliance with a Keepstar inside!

Looking back at the thousands of ships not to mention the structures that were required to take down the Keepstar in M-OEE8, and then looking at how you would get all that through the mass restrictions of worm hole entrances and I for one would like to hear your idea of a tactics that would allow you to take down a Keepstar in a worm hole?


With the OP idea in place they would have a better chance than they do right now.

Considering mass limits on worm hole entrances, and then looking at the mass of all the ships / structures they used to take down the Keepstar in M-OEE8 I would say that for all practical purposes the OP is correct, a Keepstar in a worm hole would be virtually invulnerable provided the corp that owned it was proactive in defending it.

You're all being trolled.
A Goon complaining about other people abusing game mechanics?! Seriously?!
"We found a place we can't exploit. Let's go to the forums and complain!"

The relevant question here is 'Do you actually NEED that many ships'.
Remember there were a lot of less organised fleets present since it was the first keepstar and everyone wanted in on the KM.
Also they had to account for all the K space third parties so be able to defend against hot drops, huge bomber wings and such that aren't as much of a factor in WH space because of mass limits and difficulties of travel.
I'm quite sure a lot of those ships were actually lost to being the wrong ships/fits for the job, since it's new and people are learning the best way of doing it still.

I came here expecting OP was gloating about his capacity to live in wormhole space, then I read the post and thought he was whining about not being able to attack wormhole residents, finally I saw the OP's alliance and I realized OP is genuinely trying to break/make this game.

So let's play make believe here and say you are able to pod everyone out of the worm hole except those manning the Keepstars defenses and the owners are not smart enough to bring them back in during your downtime, or the route needed to get them there is to long to make it practical to bring any significant amount of pilots back in.

You would still be facing the most destructive structure in the game, one that has more than 700 million EHP and essentially you have to do it with the stuff you can bring into the worm hole and hide from the owners, all while dealing with the mass limits of the worm hole entrances. Theory and the math says it is possible to do this, considering the logistical nightmares of moving enough stuff into the worm hole without your activities being spotted by the owners and I believe we will never see a Keepstar in a worm hole destroyed. But then this could all be for nothing because we may never see a Keepstar in worm hole.
