Player Features and Ideas Discussion

C1 = solo (5 to 10 signatures)
C2 = solo /2 player (8 to 14 signatures)
C3 = solo, 2 to 5 players (12 to 20 signatures)
C4 = 5 to 8 pilots (65 to 95 signatures)
C5 = 10 to 20 pilots (230 to 360 signatures)
C6 = 40 + pilots ( 550 to 720 signatures)

In other words, when a solo pilot goes into a C6 they should be OVERWHELMED with how many signatures are available, it should take a TEAM of people to find an exit NOT a solo pilot.

Suggestions welcome.

Just no.

God no.

I should probably elaborate. It ought to require a whole team of players to run the sites in a C6, but not to navigate them. This is already true. Problem solved.

Knowing where the holes are in a WH system is the cornerstone of living in a wormhole. Rolling holes to find what you want already requires a certain degree of skill, what with mass calculations and all that. This idea would make it essentially impossible to live in a wormhole higher then a C4, and would make it unrealistic for a small group of players to day trip in high end wormholes (it's not much of a day trip if you have to spend several hours locating even a single hole). Oh, and it also gives the advantage almost entirely to attacking groups, because chances are whoever would be crazy enough to live in a C6 in such conditions would have no idea where their entrances/exits are.

God, no. Just think for half a second about the implications. It would completely kill all player interactions in w-space. People wouldn't bother moving since they'd need 40 scouts just to find the neighboring systems, and assuming they do, people next door wouldn't bother to come and fight since they'd need 40 scouts just to check where the hostiles came from. It would also ban small groups from C6's since they wouldn't have enough people to probe, etc, etc, etc.

Seriously, you're saying this will force people to teamwork in high class w-space. It won't, and w-space already offers enough challenge and organization anyway, it already requires a good team and teamwork to successfully live there.

The signature level is pretty good right now. You don't want people just sitting in their holes because they have infinite content to farm.

As it stands now we can take turns scanning because there are only 3-10 sigs in the hole. If we had 10+ we'd have to have corp scanning time where we all just knuckle under and scan.

I can't imagine having 100 sigs.. we'd need to bring back deepspace probes, just so that i could figure out what sites I want to ignore.

I think wormholes are fine the way they currently are. This just unnecessarily floods the market with blue loot and makes it harder for smaller groups to operate as efficiently. (Long term result is more work needed for same profit(econ 101 for the laymen out there, the more supply the lower the demand))

So I go in and just do an 8 AU Scan and instantly get 300 sigs at 25%+ and ignore everything that is not a Wormhole?

Furthermore.. the coordination required between 40 pilots and 720 sigs like you propose is mind boggling ridiculous to the point that people would never scan.. ever.. again.. in WHs..

I enjoy scanning and the amount of effort to put in to find PvP and make ISK etc.. but if you amplify sigs by that much.. I want to be making trillions every month.. actually.. no.. **** it.. I'd just leave because it would take sooooooooooooooooooooooo long to find any PvP that it would ruin the environment..

small groups would not, you're absolutely right. These systems should be much more dangerous for small groups and deadly for solo pilots. The rewards should also be much much greater for maintaining a fleet in a C6.
