Sounds like we just need to make vortexes rarer.
Or make them despawn after a RL week.
Maybe both?
There are so, so, so many vortexes out there now, and as people fly around they'll just keep making more, heh. If they go away after a couple of RL days, then... well... it would help a bit at least, I think.
(It would also mean that bashing tends to happen in more heavily traveled areas because that's where the vortexes converge, so it encourages aPirating too!) Currently there are vortexes everywhere, so you can bash anywhere.

I really don't mind tweaking aetherbashing if people think it's still too easy. So give us input and let us know if you think aetherbashing is too easy and how you would make it harder.
Seems to me inertia didn't work since everyone's out there "kiting" (going around in tight circles) in big ships, which means that even in big ships you can turn as fast as you like in a very tight circle and still avoid being hit. (So now small ships are worthless, but I suppose that's better than the old situation where big ships were useless half the time and small ships half the time.)

That doesn't fix the problem that there are already a HUGE amount of vortexes around every popular dock that never despawn out there.
Without farhorizon, my aethermap is 13x7, or 91 spaces. Launching from the Etherwilde dock, without even moving, I can see 20 vortexes already.
EDIT: And thinking about it, I've only gotten maybe 7 or 8 of those to the point where they've started spawning karibideans so far. Just move to a different one when that happens.

Should up the essence on those karibs. 7k per karib for something that tanks like a dragon? lolnothanks.

It's fine where it is. Consider it a 'risk' component.

But I like killing karibs 
Unfortunately, the crew doesn't.
