Mysterious regions lay ahead, the only way there... Through WH space....

No medical services in stations, make it interesting yea? =)

Sounds interresting. "Known space" only reachable through wh.

But then: if there is known space, why didnt mankind just build gates there? Like they did in the rest of the eve-verse?

Even the huge inter-regional gates only jump a few light-years. A wormhole might jump to a galaxy millions of lightyears away, far beyond the reach of warp drive or stargate

and right into jove space?

Oh hey, i´m the gallente ambassa *BLAP*.


More serious:

The idea is still nice, but i think there is enough space (read: room) at the moment in the verse we allready have.

I like the idea but I don't think it is really necessary as we have more than enough space already. However perhaps a way to do this might be to say that the new gated regions are back in the Milky Way galaxy. Make the gates between systems invisible to the overview so you have to probe them out, maybe the humans that were in the Milky Way have really messed up and died out leaving behind ancient ruined space stations and artefacts that come alive and restore themselves when they detect players in there vicinity (make that a expansion trailer thing), maybe have the 4 empires race to claim territory in the new found space...

Good things about the new space could be that sites can be found where ancient human empire artefacts can be found and used for something like t3 production, blueprints for ancient human vessels/modules on a par with current empire pirate faction vessels/modules perhaps.

iirc, the w-space cluster has been somewhat mapped in relation to New Eden. It's maybe 1,000 lightyears away? I could be wrong on that.

Anyway, I suggested something like this in a thread about adding more systems to Eve. Rather than expanding New Eden, have explorers discover a previously-uncharted w-space region in which a gate system was built. It should be small and carry enough wandering holes and statics that there is potential for a LOT of traffic in and out of the existing wormholes. To make it really unique, no sov. That means no outposts, no supercaps, just a handful of abandoned stations that have been brought back online and whatever the players take in there.

I like the idea of a few stand alone constellations within WH space. maybe some new variants of npcs? =)
