Wormholes

Good luck stuffing a 500M kg ship through a hole that only lets 300M kg per jump.

Sounds like more some kind of attempt to address the miner bumping thing?

For wh collapsing it turns slowboating back to the wh into something you'd need to use a calendar to measure.

could be a compensation for the caps spawn distance thing, as we don't need them anymore to roll a hole with this rig...

Orca + 1 BS might do it now faster

Did not bother with numbers though, but could be of much use later anyways, I'm sure.

I'm not very familiar with the math and effect with this rig so plz help.

When you equip this rig :

-Will you align slower or faster?

-Will go into warp slower or faster?

Correct me if I'm wrong :

-75% velocity : it's not the same as being web (reducing in max velocity) so : go into warp slower
+100% mass : increase align time
-55% inertia : increase align time
-10% warp speed : it will be a little bit longer to enter/leaving warp

I don't see a boost anywhere so I'm probably being wrong, plz halp

EDIT : grammar

Secret buff to dread bowling?

I think -55% inertia is slightly (but not entirely) offsetting the penalty from the extra mass but don't quote me on that inertia/agility numbers are a bit confusing.

EDIT: From some quick numbers it looks like align time wouldn't be much different under normal speed but agility somewhat penalised when using MWD - MWD speeds would be reduced to somewhere around 80-100m/s on a BS depending on ship and fit.

Giant steaming pile of "people are hating rage rolling (if situation = don't have 200 members in corp = true)"and cue Higgs Rig laughability.

OK, so, theorycrafting duncecap on (so as i look like the drug-addled mess CCP employs for these things);

Superfat BS lurking on a hole rockspidering; idiot jumps through, BS jump behind and instaclose hole. Hey it worked for us once, so don't discount this. And I spent hours rockspidering inside N432's while signed up with NC Dot, on the hope that some clown in a dread would try rolling the hole and I could trap him out into nullsec, cyno up and yolla!

never worked. But a good theory.

-55% inertia. Thats suspiciously like a Black Hole. So woe betide any Higgs rigged BS trying to warp out of POS in a C5 BH. Trololol, it would take...a full minute, maybe a minute and a half if you accidentally stabbed a prop mod.

I can see applications for Higgs Rigged HICtors. Double the mass, then minus 80% for a single bubble. Add 3 more bubbles, and you're still Superthin (240t vs 120t). Turn on your 100MN and you'd be, hm, 85 Kt instead of 70Kt. Superfat. That's not bad.

I can also see Higgs rigged 100MN MWD omen navy bumping lols. Super bumps on undock, somebody call Garmon with his triple-web Vindi banhammerboat.

But i really want to wait for Rhea in December, and Higgs rig a Tug and stick two T2 Bulky Rigs on it, and see how long it takes to fly from deep hillybilly country, like Teonusude, to Deliverance country at, oh, Badivefi. Days? Weeks? Who cares!

Truly, a totally excrable idea and a bit of stupid backpedalling to workaround murdering wormholes and ragerolling. Hurf blurf, I'm CCP, I just smoke dope and hope.

However, truly, the place this will come in most handy is the C1 crowd, who can tailor their mass a lot better to the needs of Michael Jacksoning their exits (stuffing things in small holes and moonwalking away). Dessies, Cruisers, etc, could be fattened up for crushinator duties.

Or you could just use a HIC anyway. Which has a highslot module that works like a reverse Higgs Rig, and you can turn it OFF and it tackles pods so you can harvest corpses.

yeah, let's go with that.

All the rig builders are greedily rubbing their hands together hoping that this becomes a thing.

That's my thought as well.

Perhaps this might be intended to also help freighters and the new Tug get aligned and into warp faster as well as less susceptible to bumping.

Freighters don't have any rig slots. Tug maybe?
