Wormholes

Hi,

If you need an escort while you setup your pos or need help getting ships in let me know the K entrance and time and I'll get someone over to help you in.

But if you do need some guidance on wormholes, POS setups etc message me in game.

If your rolling a C5 with only battleships then you are dumb. you need two guys to roll a C5 connection (assuming average mass on the hole)

The issue is the time needed to roll a hole (its not much more than before but its enough to make you wonder why your doing it) then the time needed to scan the chain which now, thanks to Hyperion, contains far more empty WH's than ever before. Quite frankly it feels like a job as opposed to a game.

Our corp has gotten to the point where we are looking for K-space connections just to go PvPing over looking for WH entities.

Can't believe you can whine so much when our income just got a major buff, which is also exactly what the community has been asking for.

C4 and C2 are both at the receiving end of this, and practically it means that both these dual static paradises (in my eperience the most populated w-space) are even better capable of supporting active corporations and alliances.

This is a really ******* awesome move from CCP and once people realize that low-class wormholes will once again be better than hisec farming, we will indeed see a new influx of people, both new and returning players.

If you find an empty C4 with C4 and C2 statics, grab it while you can

There are a whole raft if improvements coming in phoebe with what is looking like part of an overall rebalance and re evaluation of wormhole incomes. Each of these in isolation look nice but underwhelming if you choose to look at it that way, but taken as a whole, combine to make a significant possibility of regenerating wormhole space better than it has been for a long time, or even ever.
Hyperion was a massive shock to the system, all stick and no carrot, and wormhole life was already fragile before it's arrival. It felt so unfair.

As it turns out, It may mostly have been a blessing in disguise, as it appears that they suddenly realised that assumptions they had were significantly different to the life we know.

Corbexx was invaluable, his efforts both in clearly submitting the truth, combined with the mass of work involved in providing hard data, has opened their eyes to the truth, and it is very clear that they are proceeding from this new viewpoint.

We should welcome all their new efforts, and appreciate just how this will bring new life and vitality, we have all witnessed holes emptying, and people leaving, that is really sad, but there is the opportunity for those who stayed to be able to fund their existance within wormhole space, and replace their losses from combat, without having to do kS missions/anoms/incursions.

They are not there yet, but it seems they realise that, and the improvements, all little, are coming thick and fast, and are all adding up. Whilst we need sufficient income to live, It is not all about isk per hour, we mainly want something to do, particuarly when it is quiet, or off peak timezone for any corp.

I look forward to the day when one can see more life and vitality in wormhole space, a balance of hunters and those who choose other paths,and those that combine them all. something for everyone, individual, small and large group, always something else to do and discover.

To CCP we may be loud sometimes, usually you hardly know we exist because we are so quiet, but Hyperion really hurt, and we cried out in pain and sometimes anger, please don't let that put your teams off changing wormholes for the better, be brave, but please consider us in the overall scheme of things, it is our home, as is EVE and we place great value on both.

And we appreciate your latest efforts, please keep them up.

Fanboy? Screaming? Dude, here's a little math task for you:

I ran three C4 anoms today, 1hr 1 minute. One Barracks, two Command Posts. Total 174 units of Neural Network Analyzers and 174 Sleeper Data Libraries. Now calculate how much my net ISK income increases with Phoebe.

How do you find these net numbers from reality?

I could have ran the rest three Command Posts and the lesser sites, but that would ruin your gross theory. I could have also rolled a new hole to farm, but you seem to think that risk-averseness is a game mechanic, and not a mental condition. And besides they said on the forums that rolling holes is impossible now, so lets just leave it at that and say that +80mil/hr isn't an awesome move and will not change anything, if it makes you happy.

(hint, it is actually awesome)

While I agree with you, you realize that blue loot is basically the bounties of WH space right? We just have to bring them to highsec instead of receiving money directly.

Rather plan for several hours. Setting up the pos, flying in fuel, ships, alts, ammunition takes several round trips. Don't forget that the entrance to your new home is not necessarily in your starting system.

you missed something over the past 4 years then

Maybe that wasn't so bad in the end. All those people who left wspace on day 1 or even before Hyperion, without at least trying, obviously were already burnt out and just waiting for a tiny push to get out. No other way to explain such an exodus triggered by pretty minor actual changes to the game.

Scaring some of the old blood out of wspace may have freed up space for new people who would otherwise have had difficulties to find unoccupied systems. Even a very inactive corp is difficult to remove from low-class space, especially for newer players.

Btw, for C4 the buff is also pretty significant. Even just accounting for blue loot, site yield rises more than 30% for two of the anoms and even 46% for the command posts. Terminus even +55% but still the crappiest site. And on top of that we will get the increases in salvage prices. Add to that the new sites coming to wspace and I expect a c4 will have at least a +50% income increase without using the statics.

As for ISK/hour, I easily ran slightly more than 3 anoms per hour solo, with the new values this should be close to 400m/hour. Pretty decent. (edit: But that is in a Magnetar so not very representative probably. I always forget that not all c4s are like this ^^ )

I'm interested in techniques and fits that clear Barracks/Commands solo in 15min after the RR fix.
