Wormholes

There does some to be an imbalance in the whole risk vs. reward system when it comes to NS IMO.


I'd be happy keeping things the way they way they are, if NS lost local and people were limited to the number of warp bubbles that could be anchored in close proximity of the gate. Then it would be balanced.

But I doubt any of that will ever happen.

Agree, it should remain to be AFK activities and passive income from various sources. Need more players in Null and what better way to bring more players to Null👍😉

Less PVE and only PVP. Remove Industry and everything pertaining to PVE and leave only Scammers and Greifers to boost EVE Online subscriptions! (PVP would be the third profession)

you can afk vni in sansha shattered wormholes but you wil eventually die

I Agree, to bring balance the null sec anomalies shouldn't be static for a given system, it should move around constellation which is currently what you'd have to do if your home wormhole is dry.

Or net Wormhole's the activity bonus that null has.

Exactly this. Wormhole sites will respawn in a particular region, with no guarantee what system its in. If they just respawned in the same system over and over, I could lock down a wormhole for 2 hours every day, and be 100 bil richer by the end of the month, and an eve trillionaire with little time spent in less than a year.

If you want to farm endless anoms then go live in null. No reason to have the same mechanics in WH space.

It would encourage more clustering. If I had to rat up a constellation to get the ADM maxed, I would want other corps in the other systems helping out.

Or if it was a single corp, the way I would do it is to get a group rat up the index 1 system at a time, safety in numbers and everything. Spreading out across rarely makes more sense than grouping in NS pve.

I'm still for a buff to wormhole income. But I think the spawn mechanics are okay (minus the piling up of 50+ sigs in unused shatterred and c4s and c6s).

I like the idea of the more sites you do at home the less spawn - because you want people to venture out of their wormholes, but its obvious that it makes much more sense to run in HS, LS, and Null for isk. There's a LOT less bears in wormhole space (because the hunters have gotten pretty good at being sneaky) and because you can make a buck elsewhere for less of a headache.

If you want more people in wormhole space as targets - give them something that keeps them in ships pretty easily. If you want to continue the status quo than no buff is necessary. When I started running c4s in 2011 a domi ball (3 domis) would pay for itself in 3 sites (total cost to fit a domi 70-80 mil isk) - now that same domi ball is about 650 mil; if I've got to run 3-4x as many sites in a c4 that's more dangerous. Just food for thought.

'Self destructed BS & Capitals' - if you rage cage my POS I would rather self destruct than give you a bunch of shiny kill mails. If it's not a good fight why would people come out and fight?

If you've got 5-6 characters evicting a group with 5-10 active members I can see them saying - hey, they don't' have a lot of people lets see if we can push them out. If you've got a corp where they can get 5-8 characters and one dude's triple boxing and you have a 20 man fleet pushing their **** in - I'd also say f you and self destruct.

From personal experience, I've had a corp with 4-5 guys run from a 4-5 man eviction fleet. On the other hand, I've brought in an 7-8 man fleet (nothing fancy) and had the locals push us out with only 3-4 dudes (we had mostly bombers). The point is people are more likely to 'provide content' when you give them the opportunity to win (even if it's an illusion). I'm sick of this space bushido **** where w-space corps pretend that they aren't dropping every online member on a rattle running a c4 site.

We're opportunistic parasites that enjoy the occasional goodfight and get our rocks off on the hunter/prey sneaky ****.

I consider myself PVP oriented, but when there isn't a 'good fight' I don't feel obligated to provide content to people that are bored. Even when I have offered content (i.e. sitting a ship in space) corps that outnumber me don't want to fight off of a wormhole or a highsec. So the risk aversion runs both ways - only idiots constantly take fights they don't think they're going to win.

If you made the isk/hr of c1/2/3 sites at or above L4 (blitzing) or incursions - you'd see an extreme influx of people. Honestly, there's no reason to set up in a low class wormhole unless you like looking for fights or are looking for a new challenge. Isk wise you can make more station trading, supplying mission hubs, blitzing l4 missions, running incursions, hell - even exploring through null in a 40 mil ship.

Plus, if you bring in people that are only going to self destruct ships at a pos by increasing the amount of isk paid out by sites - you're at least cycling more targets into wormhole space; those guys are going to have to run sites to have shiny battleships and you can camp the **** out of them too.
