Ive said it once I'll say it again Wh's should be removed along with SY's they both have completely ruined the game. They are both instant action features and nothing more.

They are the main reasons I dont resubscribe.

Actualy goth, I spawned One Worm Hole. Lets keep count here, okay? Righto. That Wormhole missed, so I let mine charge up. Troy spawned a Wormhole cruiser too, so we planned on Whing him there, and him wormholing the station. We did that, and we almost killed the station. Thats three Wormholes, each spawned legally. Now, we went to defending the ross 2 cluster, and ross 4. After being pushed back from ross 4, we went back to the ross 2 cluster. I grabbed my WH cruiser, and sent one to ross 3, didnt hit anything. I waited for it to charge, and troy came back. I Wormholed him over, but the station SY'd. Now, thats five Wormholes goth. Troy used his Wormhole to get out, thats six. Those are the only wormholes spawned while you where in game, and all where spawned legaly. After you left, I sent one more wormhole at guyton and red dragon, both in stations. I missed, went back to combat. That is Seven Wormholes,goth. You also said in the lobby, all eight where spawned in five minutes, which, as far as I know, seven wormholes cannot charge in five minutes.

I Am one of the Certain Players, and It is DAMN fun. The problem with this, is that now, these certain players, are abusing a fault in the generation code to forcably remove dreadnaughts and stations from the playing field. If the enemy out number you, WormHole Fishing is a good tactic to remove some of the opposition. The wormhole generator cruiser, has a noticably smaller random placement chance, and places it within 500 gu of target. A lot of pilots are just targeting an enemy station or dread over and over (usually two or more do this), and spawn wormholes untill they get the target. Because the hitbox of the station and dread are large, and random placement of the WH cruiser's generator is small, the chances of getting the target station/dread are quite high. I dont think there is anything wrong with it. For a WH Cruiser, there is a small chance that it will actualy hit on target. It usualy opens up 250gu, as happend earlier with you, and the pilot can safely move out of the way. If the pilot cannot, it is THEIR fault for going into the WH and what ever follows afterwards. I see this as unacceptable. Because pilots cannot use skill to remove stations and dreadnaughts from the battle, people are now using wormhole cruisers to forcably remove them with ease and low risk - not using them as intended.Oh, me and coeus, only two active that commonly use WormHole Fishing, will usualy open a Wormhole, and if nothing is caught, we'll head back to battle. You may not see this, because you see one WormHole, log, and come rant about it, like this topic here.There are times where we dont realy have anything better to do, and will continue to open Wormholes. Ontop of this, I've now seen (repeatidly) two ICC players (un-named) spawn wormholes INSIDE planets to try and instantly kill the target. Not even allowing them a chance to 180 and go back through, a certified kill if you get the random placement spot on. This is completly and utterly unacceptable, as it abuses a bug in the generation code. You should not be able to spawn a wormhole inside a planet or another ship. Faustus told us this when he coded the wormholes, and it's never worked properly. At first they failed too much, and now they don't fail at all. Infact, the chances of them failing are almost zero. Actualy, this doesnt kill anything below a station. Ask Feral, Coeus, Rangar, and that supply that was earlier caught. They spawn OUT of the planet and are safe. I only spawned One inside the planet, and Bob warned me. I told coeus, and we BOTH turned away fromt he planet. This has got to stop. Not only is it unreasonable to do this, it's abusing a bug in the code, and this should be stopped immediatly. - Jack

Asside from that, I notice it is Only UGTO players against this so far.
