Quick-Jump "Wormholes" to jump between different sectors of the Galaxy map

[Straha Yeagar]

That's actually a neat idea: temporary wormholes. I'm not a huge fan of "quick travel" in Elite but random short term wormholes showing up and vanishing could honestly be a fun mechanic.

Especially if they led to random places with no real way of knowing where you'd be dumped out And no way of knowing if you'd encounter another one to fling you somewhere else

Current jump ranges already make trips of over 1,000LY a casual journey.

Totally unneeded. So a big 'heck no'.

"Ok, I'm heading into that random wormhole - goodbye everyone ....<whoosh> Hello? I'm here ? Oh wait, I'm back in Sol"

@op - no

 

[Rooster Podunk]

Because 60 LY just isn't enough?

@op - no vote from me.

Add a No vote from me.

With a properly engineered exploration ship the galaxy has shrunk significantly as it is.

Amen.

Then again maybe we can just strap a FSD to our fannies and get to Colonia for brunch.

I would much rather have short duration ( a few days) worm holes that take you to RANDOM location. Then you have to find your way back.

Is there a different space game I should be playing that doesn't have the same degree of exploration grind? I've seen a bit of Star Citizen but slightly dubious about all the negative press around that. what about other space games?

 

[Iloveyourname]

They're already out there, just no one has found one yet.

 

[Irisa Nyira]

No. Introducing bugs from Frontier:Elite II is not the way forward.

 

[Riverside]

Stick me in the no camp. I'd be okay with uncontrollable mis-jumps, or a gateway to another galaxy or something, the milky way has already been made accessible enough with high jump ranges imo.

Try NMS.

Already been discussed ad nauseam.

Think I need my eyes testing again:

"Quick-Jump "Wombles" to jump between different sectors of the Galaxy map" had me scratching my head wondering what Uncle Bulgaria was up to this time...

 

[Captain Thea Kreutzer]

It would only be cool if they were at random occasions

Can you please introduce a way to "quick-jump" from one sector of the Galaxy to another? thereby cutting out game-days of non-stop jumping from one system to the next, in order to get to a different sector within the Galaxy?

This could be done a variety of ways e.g. a wormhole in a particular system of a sector, that allows you to travel to other sectors, maybe requiring your ship to have a particular module, or materials etc. Or simply a module that you could equip to your ship that allows sector jumps.

The idea of exploring the Galaxy has some appeal, but the jumps required to get around are a deal-breaker for me and i suspect many other CMDRs. It would be such a joy to explore if we could get around the Galaxy faster.


(An example of a game that does travel between sectors very well would be Elder Scrolls Online, where you have wayshrines dotted around the playable world that allow you to insta-jump to another part of the world)

Wormholes are a lame idea. Also Posting this in Beta forum when we have a suggestion feedback forum. You could be done one better located the idea that already been posted in Suggestion Feedback forum.

MY vote is no. Because it requires NO skill.

 

[Jenner]

Moved to suggestions and feedback forum, as this is mostly unrelated to the exploration and codex changes coming.

 

[Bam]

I'm all for wormholes, as long as you dont know where they will take you ;-)

 

[deyot]

No. Because galaxy should feel big. No shortcuts please.
