Found here (http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-phoebe/).
This caught my eye:
A new line of rigs has been added, known as the Higgs Anchor rig. It is available in all rig sizes, tech one only:
25 Calibration
+100% Mass
-55% Inertia
-75% Max Velocity
Drawback of -10% Warp Speed (reduced by the Astronautics Rigging skill).
Seems.. relatively pointless, except for wormhole collapsing?

It would also effect fuel efficiency for jump bridges / jump portals if someone wants to be a dick.

Mining.

Reduce bumping efficiency. Hmm. I can see uses for this. Not enough to make it worth it over other rigs, but uses.
-
Apparently CCP had originally conceived of it as a miner's rig (sit aligned while moving more slowly, harder to bump, etc) but right now the thing everyone is planning to use i for is rolling wormholes with a relatively small hull. Between plates and this rig, you can get a Proteus significantly over the mass of a battleship and still have it be somewhat mobile.
-
Probably better to use on a Devoter than a Proterus for hole wrecking to be honest.
-
Except that the discussed Proteus fit uses the covert subsystem. Also, Devoter does not have sufficient grid to carry the same number of plates.
-
Even so, puffing out to the size of a battleship to crit an exit, then shrinking back down to the size of a destroyer by popping off le rigs, offlining plates, and popping a bubble to go back home rather than being a locked out Proterus seems to me to be more reasonable.
-
Who gets locked out when rolling holes in their own system (which is the only conceivable reason to roll a hole). They typically know the mass limitations and can very closely approximate (if not outright know) everything that's going through it, mass-wise.
EDIT: Alexylva Paradox taught me how to wormholes. They just didn't teach me how to pve.

Sorry Havo. I'm used to living in c6/c5 where null exits are more common kspace exits. Getting stuck out in bumfucked Egypt could sometimes last a few days if I was busy in real life. I apologize to Esna as well. To each is own.
