I have asked this in two other places, I assume the non answer by ccp means either they did not see it, or they have something not yet ready to announce. However, incase I am mistaken in my understand, I am asking for clarification:

Per the dev blog on thera:

"The seventy five Standard Shattered Wormhole Systems will be similar to normal W-space systems in many ways (including delayed-mode local chat), but will have a few important distinctions:"

"• They will contain minable ice fields. This will be the first ice available in wormhole space."


And...

"The twenty five Small Ship Shattered Wormhole Systems will have all the features of the normal Shattered Wormhole Systems, with the following additions:
• All wormholes in or out of these systems will be small ship wormholes, meaning that only Frigates, Destroyers and Heavy Interdictors (Heavy Interdictors can use their bubble generators to reduce their mass) can enter.
"

So how do you mine the ice in the 25 small wh' systems? The smallest barge is 10m kg in mass. The larges destroyer is around 2m kg in mass. And a cruiser is around 11m kg in mass. So unless I am mistaken, and the small wh's take a max of 10m kg per jump into them, there is absloutly no way, as it stands right now, to be able to mine the ice in these 25 systems.

So... what gives? or am I just misinformed on the max per jump a small frig hole can take?

Good catch, Reaper.


I wonder what CCP's reasoning is here.

There are 101 new systems, 1 Thera, 25 Shattered Frig Only and 75 Shattered Regular, going simply off what you posted, it seems there will not be ice anomalies in the frig only systems. Did it explicitly say anywhere there will be ice in the frig only systems?
