Wormholes

Small things are ****, not neat. Frig holes may as well be removed for all I care.

People that are saying "just get rid of them" need to wake up. CCP will keep whatever it wants. Make positive suggestions to move it forward or GTFO.

To people that say we don't need to aim for newbies, I say you're wrong. Almost every other skill progression has multiple levels of usefulness, usually with points of mastery. Like generally when training guns someone will probably get T2 small before they move up. They don't HAVE to , but it's more common than not.

As such, I suggest that there be some sort of destroyer command ship option, but it should be maxed out with just the basic warfare skills, and maybe a mindlink. Don't allow the specializations to apply to the boat, and don't give it too much % bonus to skills on the hull. This would make something that people could use to enable frig fleets to be just a bit more competitive. Home field advantage will still be very steep, but this will help some.

What we should be aiming for, IMHO, is to help frig gangs realistically attack people who are running home sites, including capital escalations, without needing 100+ people. I'm not sure what a more realistic number would be, but it would be nice to buff frigs a bit.

Of course, this buff would also mean that roaming frig gangs would be much more powerful, assuming that they weren't using command ship links before. That said, most of K-space would just use command ships because they already are and they'd still be better. They command destroyer concept therefore would be strictly for high-mobility roams, newbies, and WH roams.

I think this idea might actually be quite reasonable and not upset too much of the rest of the game.

Oh, could you make this new ship be built with WH loot please? Maybe that would bump up prices a bit. Write some lore about "sleeper gang assistance technology found by bla bla bla Sleepers bla bla bla Talocan bla bla etc."

Just like, my opinion, man.

I refer you to this topic http://redd.it/2gfy6n

or as I would put it:

Content creation in eve is the worst discussion ever. Its called "playing" the GAME!

make it a rig xD or worse ... add it to the "boosting" subsystem... XD

Yeah, but if you're too scared of the monsters in the dark then you're irrelevant. I know that wormholes are hard and dangerous, but that's what I like about them. I don't want to make them less of either. Rather, I'd like them to be/remain very hard so they reward people with more diligence/experience/understanding.

I think that my proposal supports that.

Well, there we can agree. Wormholes need better rewards for most things other than capital escalations. This will naturally make it easier for people to afford to live there even if they lose ships to pvp banditos. This is a known issue and one that I believe Corbexx is working on.

Whatever do you mean?

If you want people to "do stuff" in wormholes, there's a food chain effect. I can't PVP if there's nobody in the chains. Bears provide targets for gankers which makes them the plankton of this ecosystem.

Or maybe you think everybody just goes around yelling "PVP for the PVP BOB!" and we come running?

Destroyer command ships are a good idea. And its not as if you wont have to train all the same skills as for a BC CS also the dieas thrown around on F&I about this theorized they would have not as good bonuses.

You need to buff rewards before you buff frigate sized fleets (at least in the context of w-space).
