Wormholes are the new thing I guess. But you know what would be cool? Quasi-permanent "super" wormholes that establish a long-term connection between two regions. Unlike regular wormholes, this super wormhole would last much longer, 1 week, 2 weeks or a month, or something appropriately long; they'd allow infinite mass to travel through it; and they would appear in local as a celestial.

Establishing connections would occur at DT; in a completely randomly-selected system in each region, a wormhole would connect to another randomly-selected system in another region (preferably not an already-adjacent region). Shazam, instant content. At any given time there would be 32 super wormhole connections allowing players to explore and find content in otherwise sporadically-available areas of the game.


The time limit on these super wormholes would be a matter of balance. A week or two seems ideal as it gives enough time to farm content without providing for ridiculous windows of opportunity.

Discuss this idea.

Seems a little silly in that it makes nullsec resupply insanely easy on a large scale.

Just wait until one spawns in a decent system in the nullsec region you want to restock, and that leads to a highsec system, then move everything!

your last sentence gives it away, this isnt about content, hell, these would just have perma bubbles and camps on them for the week they are out.

no, your just looking for, and i quote "farm"
