Yes Scae, you can bring Drake.


We need monocles and red coats.

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 =)


You claim it will make life harder on people but it wont... it will make things easier... whats that you dont have any scan alts in hole? just pop on the beacon finder and boom you are back in. Hunting down that one corp that pissed you off well thats okay you dont need to start rage rolling the proper static for them. Wormholes are supposed to be difficult to find. CCP already made it too easy by putting in the stupid flipping discovery scanner (although its finally gotten back to the point people have become unobservant)

Thats whats wrong with your stupid idea that we want an easy payday, Now lets go to the technical reasons as to why you are an idiotic moron and your father should have worn a condom. First Point from your description this would allow you to find the same wormhole and pick up a signal anywhere from space... This is stupid for one how do you pick what wormhole you are looking at? what about systems with several wormholes in them (most ive seen is 4 in one system corpmate once saw 7 or so). Second Point What about wormholes with multiple K-Spaces? and lets just say you are equidistant from either opening? How is the scanner going to react to that? Third Point why should they put in something (way to detect wormholes) that already exists?

Oh but totally ~EOL is nothing but a bunch of Carebears... I mean its not like we've ever killed anybody...

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

Just add a special ability to wormhole people to teleport to their wormhole after living in it for 1 month and give them a special ship with a single highslot that causes everyone on grid to explode when pressed.

Oh, wait, that was nullsec back in 2005.

haha, so many angry people. I still think it would be great, cuz who doesn't like seeing a pirate faction POS getting slammed into dust. I don't care who does what, i wanna see more full on take outs, As far as lore goes, they can make a jump bridge yet cant stabilize a WH? get the hell out, just cuz its in a hide away part of space doesn't mean it shouldn't be accessible with enough work and money. It's just like any expansion, nerf/buff stuff, people cry bloody murder, then they get used to it and realize, well.. this made **** more interesting. it wouldn't be some WH killer, it would be a new dynamic. Idc what it is, but I'm just up for a changeup.

I have no idea what the OP is talking about, but it made me think of something else.

I think a deployable structure that broadcasts a beacon similar to an active cyno that can be warped to system-wide would be pretty cool. The only downside is people would spam it to clutter overviews as a trolling tactic.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

We have those. They're called bookmarks.

Surely one or two idiots spice up the otherwise boring and rage-free environment?

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.



Wormholes, w-space. When I hear those words I think Home, I think friends, I think fun. I do not think they are hellish or hard to find, because I learned how they work. It is not difficult. I do not think they are dangerous, because I embrace conflict and I am not afraid to lose a ship. I am not deterred by the lack of local for I am a predator at heart and I have patience to hunt down the weak and unlearned. I do not screw up and forget to bookmark because it is a habit that I learned, my corp mates depend on that habit as I depend on theirs. I am sorry to say but you have the wrong mindset for w-space, but fear not, that is not the end. You can always change your mindset: embrace the difficulty, learn the right habits, train yourself in all aspects of w-space and you too can survive and thrive in this fantastic part of eve instead of proposing weird mechanics on the forum.

When I hear WHs I think of pews and the ability to travel to any part of space to shoot anyone I like without restriction. Not isk.

In regards to your idea, your becon is called an alt in a scanning ship. You should try it sometime

Why not just light a cyno? (Can you? I've never tried)

Sure it would be useless for its intended purpose but would make a warp able beacon in the system.

bring me a shot glass, a pistol and patience.

I am not real sure what the OP is offering. . it's some kind of deployable that pings the location of your hole? . . so if you get locked out you can find it again. . by being in other wormholes that ping a distance you are from home? . .

what if the chain doesn't lead back home? does it not ping at all? or does it negate having wormholes and you can just warp directly to your home from anywhere?

ugh i don't know. . the idea sounds terrible. . or at least terribly explained.

to be honest there are a lot of references in many different sci-fi lore of "being able to send signals through anomalies"; maybe not strictly wormholes as we think of them but to be honest there are also references of being able to send not just people though wormholes (ships in our case) but actually send unmanned objects such as probes, bombs or disabling agents.

to be honest the whole idea of gated wormholes (where there are two fleets with an impenetrable gate in between them) is a bit silly to me. I honestly wouldn't mind changes that would allow you to use wormholes for combat or scouting purposes. wormhole space is vast, some sort of long range signals, with ships tuned to pick up those signals, that could be vulnerable to interception would be an interesting twist. It would also give cause to bring back a deep space probe. I'm not sure I like the idea of a beacon so you can get our but if ships emanated singles over range beyond the single system, i don't know.

could also be very much an addon for new pos structures (revamp) and an official movement towards towards colonized wormholes as recognized on a server level.

Last I checked, you could in fact light a cyno.
