Wormholes

unsubbing all accounts and killing myself

Looks good. Easier to kill carrier's capacitor in Pulsar.

Little shame in wolf-rayet resist changes but nothing I cannot live with. Maybe there will be less stalemate with dps.

Black hole is good.

Red Giant sound exciting. Dunno how often we will be able to use that bonus but still there will be an option.

sleepers haven't revived buffs from systems in years why would they now?

I really enjoyed the metrics comparing activity in the various special effect holes. One thing missing, though, was the no-effect holes. Would it be possible to release the same metrics but including no-effect holes?

All in all, I'm in favor of the changes. I've lived in Cataclysmic Variable systems before and loved being in a RR gang there. It would also be nice to have Black Hole systems actually viable.

I don't think the sleeper neuts will get the effect bonus in a pulsar will they? It's not like sleepers receive other bonus' like DPS in magnetars.

Anyway, can red giants also get a small bonus to bomb explosion radius? The bonus to damage is nice but one of the main reasons bombs are rarely used to begin with isn't that they don't do enough damage it's that wormhole meta favours small ships which mitigate most of the damage anyway.

Black hole changes - Very nice set of changes, I like the look of it.

Magnetar changes - Pretty small change but it seems beneficial.

Red Giant - Oh dear, I'm going to need a bomb shelter… I suppose it's a good thing you can't overheat bombs. (Fozzie don't you dare take that as a suggestion!) I like the change although isn't the change irrelevant? The max damage with bombs is still the same (Per volley) as the bombs destroy themselves after a certain amount of damage. Also won't people utilize the smart bombs to just destroy all the volleys of bombs, with their range and damage a few smart bombs would kill them before they can explode.

Pulsar - Very interesting… Shield tanked bhallgorns anyone? Not a bad change I feel for pvp. For pve I must ask, will the nos and neut changes be applied to the sleepers?

Wolf Rayet - Hmmm, I don't like the armor Hp change all the much. Granted holy ridiculousness of ehp with a slave set, but it's pretty pricy to take those into a wormhole. How about a change to self armor repair amount, maybe increase the cap requirement of them at the same time? Just something I thought of off the top of my head, may be stupid I haven't really thought about it much.

Cataclysmic - Very clever changes, I like the way it doesn't destroy cap stability t2 logistics, while it pretty much removes any hope of cap chaining with capitals. Very good change.


Overall not bad though I think there should be a few changes to iron it all out.

To clarify, wormhole effects do not apply to NPCs.

Shield tanked bhaals in a pulsar die stupidly fast to dreads even without webs/tps heh.

Black hole - why only Missiles? Lets extend it to all weapon systems as it is now penalised in range. This will make every missile ship OP in this enviroment. Kiting c2/c3/c4 in cerebuses, tengus and other ships. While making armor tanking ppl in legions and proteuses and similar ship subpar.

The change to Black holes might be one of the best yet. I never saw the reason in making one type of hole actually worse than not having an effect at all, but o well.

These changes turn a black hole system from Baltic Ave to Pacific. Not quite Park Place but a nice money maker just the same.

Its like you just added more wormhole systems to the game!

+1 great change!
