Wormholes

I know I know, let's make a corp called "Shoot me, Don't evict me" and then put all of our alts in it. When we need pew we can just go shoot each others alts, problem solved....

How to fix wh pvp?
Simply, make yourself content, and CCP make grinding structures less grinding.

See capital advantage, bhaalgorns,geddons, +pos on their side and infinite amount of reships and they were reshipping.

I haven't read through the whole thread yet, but I want to put down a thought that's been in my mind for a bit.

Namely ragerolling. I'm going to suggest that this is hurting PvP in W space.

I've never been a fan of ragerolling because while yes, you do see more system faster than scanning the whole chain out and thus increase the likelyhood you'll find someone active, you're hurting the inverse. You're limiting the places that someone else can merge their chain into yours down to your home system and the static while it's open.

A pair of C5>C5 groups ragerolling have a 3 in 512 chance of meeting per rageroll. You into their home, them into your home, you both into the same static.

Yes scanning the whole chain down to K space takes more time, but you're increasing the likelihood of an encounter at every system you add in. Exchanging number of dice rolls for higher probability.

Now it's been a while since I've hung out with a C5 group so I don't know if that's the way you guys are still finding PvP mainly but if it is, I'm suggesting before we all start screaming CCPlease to the heavens, for all of May, we all give ragerolling up, see if it feels like we're getting more PvP or not. If you're at the end of the chain and there's no new sigs to explore on the way back, sure roll it, but try to keep it open, lets see what comes from it.

Most hilariously terrible idea I've heard all day.

Even if Corbexx is a Goon.

I completely disagree. Capital escalations force people to bring capital ships out of their POS.

This is GOOD for PVP. It is what brings people out with everything they have, the chance at capital ganks.

This is also why the mass/jump idea was stupid.

We need people to have reasons to risk capitals so that we can eat their tasty killmails.

Now, if you want to find a way to make them used out the static, fine. But getting rid all together is a bad idea IMO.

Someone said something about reducing the number of moons in the C5/C6 space. possibly not the worst idea i have heard so far. it helps limit the numbers those holes can sustain. forcing people to spread out more.

Even if the corps just occupy a second wormhole, the chances of both entrances being reasonably close to each other are low, This might help limit peoples fear of the 'blob'

Even still i don't know how i feel about any of the ideas. To much of the problem is cultural and not mechanics.

Hell depending on how the POS changes end up working this whole problem might solve itself. (or become irrelevant as people evac wormhole life)

First actual creative, smart approach I've seen in this thread.

Other random thoughts:

Removing systems: I don't know how you'd go about this. If you start clearing out vacant, as in no pilots logged out no online pos's, how many would you actually drop. How does it work between when CCP figures that out and when they actually cull the systems? What if someone moves in to a system during that time. What if by some freak chance a famous system just happens to meet those requirements at the time? Is everyone ok losing a Nova or Polaris to the cull? If wew're just dropping random systems, are you fine waking up tomorrow in HS. I'm sure everyone is assuming that it'd just be vacants or at worst bear holes but what if it's SSC or HK? You guys fine getting kicked to the curb?

Personally I feel like Phoenix Jones has the better idea, more connections. Straight up triple every shattered WH static connection. Go remove all anomalies that aren't WH's from them so you don't have to scan through a hundred data's to find them and they'd become a nice transit system. More connections make the universe smaller.

Cloning back home: An ok idea if done right, but won't help the bigger groups but will lower the bar for smaller groups. I'm thinking like a POS module, takes up as much resources as a SMA or CHA or something. Holds 2 clones and the creation of the clones is a big industrial task like making T3 bits. Clones have to be set to particular toon and don't become available until the POS takes its next fuel sip, like gas refining works. This stops people injecting the clone and heading out straight away. This should give smaller groups (<5 humans) a way to get back home safely. Personally I feel a lot of us take for granted how easy it is to get back home when you have a lot of peeps in system or a lot of scan alts logged out. Hopefully it'd change the PvP thinking from "If I lose, I lose my ship, probably my pod, maybe my whole POS and all the work I've done up till now" to "Ok just the ship, probably the pod and I"ll have to make a new return clone."
