Forget the special stats. Just a roaming connection that rolls into Active systems.


Now see that would work.

Random WH. Only spawns into systems that have had activity within the last 30min.


Activity needs a programmable definition, but i like the idea

Nathan, I've seen the comments about wh masses being too well understood and those same people wanting it a bit more complicated. I know what you're talking about. But in the end, when their fleets are split, cut off, left in a world of hurt more than once, they'll never want it again.

As for your concept, yeah I could see something like that being desirable but the mass would have to be a bit more predictable or give some clue, something to give the discovering party an idea of what the hole can accommodate.

Instead what about a short life wandering massless hole for the c5/6 denizens? It can open only to c5/6 space and null. Be seen on both sides. Not rely on only one side seeing the sig and opening it. You can get as much as you want though it. The short lifespan...say 15 minutes would preclude planned invasion fleets but allow for spur of the moment pvp fleets. Maybe also, once the connection is opened there would be a system wide indicator....a ringing to the dinnerbell perhaps.....

Don't ban me, bro!

Not a bad Idea Kidd.

I'd also like it to be more dangerous to do sites in a home system or similar. Stuff like adding ekstra k162 when you start killing sleepers in system etc.
