While the idea itself sounds fun (if there is an option to use cyno in there), there is one thing I`m concerned about - rats.
Since capsuleers are the first to explore and exploit wh extensively, it is logical to assume that there is no "normal" imperial rats to be found in such an isolated system.

If not, how can you explain their presence here?

Sansha rats baby. They are the kings of WH travel. Surely they are using these isolated real-space systems.

And don't forget rogue drones.

Those mechanical monsters could be anywhere....

there is an answer to this question and it's a good one. I don't think we need jump gate traffic into WH's to make people interested in getting to WH's. Scanning is a requirement for WH exploration and should remain so. I find it interesting that while some are calling for the removal of all jump gates you are asking for the addition of some into space that doesn't need them.

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

He is referring to wormholes connecting to regular space systems, presumably within cyno range of other gate linked systems, that have no gate connections.

To reach them, you would either cross through wormhole(s), or have someone who did this already open a cyno while you were within jump range from another system.

All connections would be wormhole or cyno based, no gate traffic.

You are correct.

I think this is a great idea, it could have:

- Very hostile enviromnents (gas cloud damage/radiation from sun too high)
- Local NPC's actively hunt down POS (with escalating waves)
- Or lead to random nebula's that have no planets
- Chances of exit/entry spawns into said systems extremely low so getting lost for weeks is a high possibility
- Some of the lost races, new loot could include hull wrecks to increase tech 2 invention attributes and other lost race tech
