Wormholes

There are multiple new wormhole space incoming, he just spoke about one of them.

Regarding Thera.

1) No capitals (cannot get in or build, which means no dreadnaughts, carriers, freighters, rorquals, possibly orca's also as its classified as a capital). You can't build them or get them in (logistics cried a little).

2) Enormous system, more than 1 station. Says its virtually impossible to lockdown the system.

3) no real way to control every connection in the system (assuming probably 6+ wormhole connections).

4) Cloning, manufacturing, research, everything in the station. (Jump Cloning Into a Wormhole Space System? Is this a good thing?)

5) No Starbases (No POS's) allowed, so no Gas refining can be done in here.

6) No Local

7) The Stations are NPC owned.

8) There will be sleeper sites.

9) All the statics will be to K Space, and no W-space statics. Only wandering wormholes will connect to other wspace from thera.

10) There will be a market to stock.

11) Tied in with storyline developments

12) Will release in Rhea.

13) There will be other wormhole space.

14) Everyday there will be more news regarding this.

15) there will be a unique system effect

16) Compares it to Jita without Concord.

17) Landmark sites throughout system.

Edit.

Main question, Jump Clones? If so, is it a good thing for a wormhole system? Yes I know this is a different special type of super wormhole system, but this would pretty much allow all of new eden to dump their alt into here and interdict the system for a month when bored. I'm sure they considered this though as even if they do, they don't have caps to drop, carriers to triage, and fighters to assign.

Its interesting.

I've already booked the band for this gig

Also Thera is an anagram of earth.

But even more then that:

Why would we want this kind of wormhole station system? Does it have missions or something? How do you go in there and not die?

Its more like NPC Nullsec without local and No POS's.

its.. interesting. Its almost a pure pvp assault system. Probably the new version of the thunderdome with no capitals At All.



That would probably be bad.

The intricacies of seeding the stations with goods, getting in and out safely, even using the w-space connections and returning without dying is somewhat mind boggling. I have a hard time seeing how the stations and wormholes aren't camped 24x7 by someone

Especially if they allow jump cloning/medical cloning into it.

It would pretty much turn into a dictors comedy routine.

It depends on .. really several things.

1) the Amount of connections that come into it. If its just 1 connection, and people can crit holes, yea that place will become silly.
2) Station Mechanics. You want to remove or thrwart station gaming to some degree, else it'll literally be Jita Undock with a bubble on the station, 100 abandoned Drones on the undock and 30 tornado's 100km off.
3) Amount of Stations. There will be multiple apparently.
4) Size. this is what might balance the system out. If it is ENORMOUS, then it will be less of an issue. They have said it is the largest system ingame, which is leaning to a 200+ au system.
5) There is no local. All campers use local as their major intelligence to doing anything. Without it, they are as vulnerable as everybody else (warp a cloaky, get within 10 km, warp gang, kill).
6) Boosters will be an issue in this system (a huge issue due to the system size).

We don't know what the station will do (for all we know it has guns on it).

We don't know what we can build at the station (Currently can't do Component Construction because you cannot react gas in the system because POS's aren't allowed).

This definitely requires some testing on SiSi. The Clone Mechanic Worries me the most here.

Thera, as announced, will only have k-space connections. So that could simplify it. But that could also change, we don't really know.

EDIT: Did I miss something about random w-space connections to Thera?
