Wormholes

Black hole effect : No D-scan

The engineer in me does not like the fact that ships and missles react differently to the same weather. Please set the missle speed bonus to match the ship speed bonus. I would prefer the remaining penalties remain as it is interesting having a pretty terrible weather type in the mix.

I do like the suggestion that black holes might have additional worm hole connections. I would rather this be done with additional periodics that lead to or from these systems rather than additional statics. Having random extra doors which lead to a variety of places is more intersting than having a reliable number of doors which go to predictable places.

The problem with this is it doesn't make Black Hole systems better it makes them something everyone else wants to find and fails to address the combat bonus/penalty problem.

Never mind all of the meta problems with having Ice in WH-space.

The inertia penalty still rather kills speed tanking though, and the speed boost is already enough of a buff to speed/sig tanking without double-bonusing it. Never mind that 100MN T3s are pretty common already.

How about we keep the inertia penalty and velocity bonus along with add significant bonuses to gas harvesting and mining. That way, miners can make more money in a black hole but the inertia penalty makes them more vulnerable to hunters. Possibly add an effect that makes ratting easier like a buff to missile damage or resistance to neuts.

Alternatively, I like the idea of Black Holes encouraging fast, brawling ships. Maybe reduce/remove the inertia penalty and add a webbing range bonus (that could be a bit crazy though).

Good to see CCP are willing to listen and look at this, you mention not wanting to make dread blapping worse with a web bonus, but this is yours and CCP's chance to look at this and make this a WH effect worth fighting over. Don't avoid making the effects over the top, make it so good groups evict each other to have.

Dscan delay in seconds 5 - 10 - 15 - 20 - 25
Multiple static WH - WH - WH - K-space - Kspace

Make it like the opposite of a Cat Variable, bonus to local reps, nerf remote reps in the same percentages as they are in Cat Variables



And black holes would be even emptier than they are now.

black holes should be dark dreary places. the system graphic affect should make the whole system dark with a small beam of light/radiation coming from the event horizon.
ideas for the system affects would be limiting d scan range 10% per wh level so 60% in a c6. it also should have a delay with the new scanner interface, a 2 min delay per wh level so 12 min delay in a c6 on a wh or sig popping up for your scanning window/probes to get the information. there should be some risk for farming sites and this would give people a chance to get the drop on you.
i would say keep the velocity bonus all though it should be reversed 100% in a c1 and 25% in a c6.
just like others have stated no wh has a bonus to missiles only negatives so reverse the missile velocity to positive so 50% in a c1 and 10% in a c6.
idk how feasible it would be but maybe shorten the grids in the wh's because of the black hole affect visibility would be shortened. kind of how locking range is limited now but applied to grid affects so the ship disappears into the darkness. with stretching grid mechanics idk how possible it is just a thought.
basically a black hole limits your intel because it is consuming the light in which the info would be traveling on to reach your ship and you gain increased velocity to missiles and your ship because the wh is on the very edge of the event horizon.
it would be a unique affect in the fact most of the good bonuses apply fully in low end wh's and the negatives apply fully to high end wh's.

Except that you end up shooting yourself in the foot. Great, you're faster, down-side, you have less range to play with on your kiting ship which means you're more likely to be in range of points, webs, and all that other fun stuff.
