Wormholes... you hear it and you think "hey, i can make allot of freaking ISK in one of those, " or you're of the mindset, "I am NOT getting lost in one of those things again." No matter how you feel about wormholes, they are, in the end, one hellish thing to find if you screw up and forget to save a bookmark, need to get that last load out before the EOL ends.

So I was thinking... why can't we have something similar (in essence) to a lighthouse for WH's? A beacon module you can drop anywhere in a WH and it sends out a signal. This Signal will relay throughout the wormhole and escape out of any wormhole connections (into other wormholes and into high-sec/low-sec/null.
After you drop the beacon unit, you have to have a certain module attached to receive the beacon signal, if it is not equipped or online then you cannot find the signal. As you fly around space you can pick up the signal, the further away it is the weaker the signal. Once you get in the same system it could be similar to scanning, you get a confirmation of vicinity then its up to you to scan it down.

As for the signal bouncing thru other wormholes and eventually being "heard in normal space, same effect as being far away, only harder to determine if your in the correct system, maybe only allow it to ping you to the correct constellation. It would be interesting to say the least.

Anyway, that was my random thought. tell me what you think or add to the idea. Thank You for your time. and sorry for the first post, it was confusing I know

o.O I totally want this. Fly into a hostile hole, drop a beacon, and then encourage people to follow it! More explosions!

NO!

lol thats the whole idea. wouldnt have to worry about it if you keep a sharp eye and see it get dropped, just jump out and kill it, problem solved. Laziness should not be rewarded.

What if you set up this beacon, and then other ships could just warp directly to it from anywhere in K space provided they were "bridged" there by a Titan or BLOPs?

It would be awesome, more explosions guys!

Oh snap, I've been told off by an alt.



Should I elaborate on why your idea is bad? Or shall I go back to begging Bob to cleanse me of my 'carebear' ways?

Confirming -EOL are carebears. I mean, its not like we suicide PVP t3 fleets into the big boys for learning purposes all the time... All we do is just sit around, spit polishing each others t3s, and never, ever, absolutely ever do we take them out, and I don't know, die horribly to Ixtab.

I keep seeing the same people say it's such a terrible idea, yet no one is able to give a good reason, or any reason at all as to WHY it's a bad idea, asides from making life harder on people. The whole intention of EVE in the first place. you want easy go back to high sec =)

All of us posting have a disturbing lack of monocles. This thread can't be relevant to wormhole space for that reason alone.

Yes Scae, you can bring Drake.
