More Terrain! - Ideas?

About wormhole size: it could be nice if it is huge when open and tiny when closed but it is minor detail that doesn't affect the gameplay.

I remember a mod that did that in stock, should be a simple change.

One idea for wormhole: At the moment ships "jump" in and out of the wormhole. I think it would be nicer that the ships pass slowly trough the wormhole when it is open (and much larger than now in 307) and also the travel wouldn't be instant (would take 5 to 10 sec perhaps). The ships could move a little bit extra outside of the wormhole, so there wouldn't be the crowd outside when fleet emerges.

You mean like it was in A1?

Didn't the ships in a1 "jump" in and out from wormholes? My idea is that the ships would travel in and out from the wormhole with their regular speed, and because of this, a bigger size would be required.

What about Black Holes? You could have ships get pulled in if they get too close. Or Fluidic rifts that open and have 8472 vessels come out and give you grief.
