Config:

AllowWormholes = Yes WrmVoluntaryTravel = Yes (only ships that want to travel through a wormhole (by using the WRT friendly code) actually travel.) WrmTravelCloaked = No WormholeUFOsStartAt = 51

I want to change to:

WrmVoluntaryTravel Values: No

When this option is disabled, all ships that come near to a wormhole entry are forced through the wormhole.

I wouldn't like it. It is not excactly harmless. It would turn wormholes into traps. To be used for example by cloaked races to move away defensive foreces without risk.

Talandir... If you want to take a WH with a probe, you cant!

Hi everyone,

three votes is a bit too few to make a change. Any opinions from the other players?

As host, I am of course interested in the reason for the change. I wonder what additional abilities you get by this? Other than that you can lure people who forget to scan for wormholes into them, but then, Pleiades games use ExtendedSensorSweep, so all you have to do is Sensor Sweep once in a while, and not seeing a wormhole could be interpreted as gross negligence :smile:

Hi everyone. Streu needs the vote of at least 6/11 of the players!

With the change you can tow and atack in the other side. Im robot but with this is very importan for the development of the game.

Hi Streu,

My own thinking is that it has some uses that kind of disrupt play.

First, luring big ships into small wormholes can be a very cheap way of getting rid of them.

It also allows the cloak races to safely lure away heavy guardships from planets witout any danger; out of the wormholes both towing and towed will come out in different points, so it will not even lose the towing ship.

But in general, it is usually enough to follow the rule that no idea coming from Peron is harmless despite how innocent it could appear to be. I am pretty sure he has thought of some other twisted way of using this...
