Wormholes

I started giggling at the end of the OP.

By the end of the first page my sides were aching.

By the end of page three I had to change my pants.

You want tears? Right now I'm wiping them from my eyes because this is possibly the best troll thread ever.

Probably more to do with all the downsides... Sure the isk is okay but why put up with living in a pos when most of your kills come from null anyway? I can't remember the last time I saw a big hostile fleet flying through w-space.

I do agree that there isn't enough incentive to live in w-space but more isk isn't the answer.

Depends on how big. I've seen some pretty big ixtab fleets roll through. X.X

Why yes, yes it is. After the editing that made it clearer later.

However the Idea is sound, not to whelp incursion fleets, but for wormhole corporations, to express their anger and disappointment, with the whole direction this is taking the game. Disrupting various aspects of the eve economy is the Ideal expression, particularly as one of our corporations is opening up almost everywhere in new eden every minute, we just need to disrupt as many sections of the game economy as possible. The magnitude is not the goal, just the visibility.
This can only happen if it occurs as a broad combined assault, across whole swathes of space, and would need the various corporations to temporarily work together.

Is this possible? One would hope so.

Whether this happens or not, who can say, but just accepting things, would be a very bad signal to give.
And we will just be rolled over and considered something to ignore by CCP.

10/10 good troll I would bite again.

The general opposition to this change isn't about protecting farmers, isk income, isolating ourselves or being "safe". Anyone who says that lacks understanding or experience in wh space.

Yes it allows farmers to isolate themselves, HOWEVER it is also the same mechanic, and the ONLY mechanic aside from log-off traps that gets them ganked and killed for the most part. Removing the API sleeper kills means log-off traps are extremely difficult to do as its very hard to predict when a farming entity will do sites without 24/7 scout watching every moment of every day. Not arguing with the API change, just stating a fact.

Large and Small groups alike use this mechanic to hunt and find targets, like the "isolated" farmers, be it through general roll / scan / roll / scan or dedicated rage rolling, where a wh static is rolled every few minutes or so with the goal of seeking fights or catching site runners off guard. Increased capital spawning distance makes rage rolling take significantly longer and more painful to do.

I really feel for the smaller pvp entities, as literally the WORST thing in day to day wh space, is to have a really **** chain and being able to do nothing viable about it. By viable i mean not suicide welping a cap every time you want to roll your static, or having to spend 1 hour rolling a wh with a small amount of Battleships.

Changing this mechanic will very likely result in less pew and less site ganks across w-space. On the other hand it just means we'll have more time to spend poking in null for ratting carriers.

Or how about when you jump a gate, you land outside of jump range, forcing people to slowboat back if they want to flee?

Why not make stargates work on the same fashion? I mean, they are supposedly gravity operated, thus the mass of a ship should impact the origin distance from the gate. Why not do it to cynos and bridges as well? Oh, because that will **** up nullsec for sure.

If voted to CSM in 2015 I will have CCP do the following:
Step 1: Adjust the mass of the range you spawn from holes while in a capital 100km from hole
Step 2: Add in a Capital Micro Jump Drive that you can use to get back on the hole
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

make the bpc droppable only from sleeper talochans.
