As the title says, it would be interesting I think to have Wormholes with statics based on specific "geographic" regions. I also suggest this sort of thing to be done in order to buff null/nerf high sec and cause more people to go out where the risk is greater.

How would doing anything to wormholes ever buff null? last time null tried to wormhole, they got smacked back to null with a couple less capitals and T3's.

also, the complete randomness, any hole can go to ANYWHERE, si waht makes wormholes dynamic, if we started separatingt hem into geographic regions, then it would bcome to easy for allaicnes to spread out and lock down an entire WH chain with caps and towers, and be able to ferry supplies because they know there are only X possibilities that their new hole can go to, and almost all will be friendly.


No, i like being able to pop a new hole everyday, pay a visit to our temporary neighbors, andjump their site-ships, then have the WH closed ebhind us, then rinse/repeat/kill/repeat/etc.

Unless you actually meant separating where wormholes appear based on k-space sec staus? if so then thats a HUGE no, because most wormhole alliances rely on that 1/500 HS wormhole in their C5/C6/static in order to ferry supplies in, making majority wormholes only open in null for your "buff" would indeed buff null, by making wormholes and nearly all T3 production part of null, sicne no one else would be able to get supplies in order to live in them anymore.

I mean providing a static C1 to maybe C3 per region/constelation that can link to other "non region" Wormholes (like the ones we have now) would make a nice link between the two. This way, you can have 0.0 corps settle into wormhole space, but it would only be a C1-C3...so at the end of the day they still have to come to guys like you if they want real profit. But there is a window for them. Right now if you want to be in a WH you are either in a WH or you are not. It's not very easy to bounce between one or the other. A C1-C3 Regional static WH wouldn't make it much easier. IT wouldn't make WH "just another part of 0.0" but it would provide more encounters between WHs and 0.0 entities buffing 0.0 more.

I think this should also be done in conjunction with doing something to make high sec less profitable. You have entities that make billions easily all in the safe confine of High sec, where as in 0.0 you are always at risk. Mining ships got buffed and if you are marginally intelligent you won't ever die in HS.
