From what I remember of the o7 broadcast...

The station(s?) is NPC and has all the nice facilities like clones, repair, manufacturing...
POSs cannot be built in system.
Capital ships cannot access or be built in the system.
All the static connections (3?) will be to k-space with a few random other wormholes thrown in.
The system will be huge - bigger than any other - with important things well out of dscan range of others.
There will be lots of lore sites to go visit and explore.

It sounds like a wonderful place to go hang out and install a jump clone.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

My only problem with the idea is NPC stations.

I thought the design philosophy for the game was more player and less NPC, at least that is the gist I got from the Fanfest videos.
Nah, it's supposed to be a free port, nothing free about a bunch of alliances fighting over stations that no one but the alliance owners can use.

Sure it's fine for nullsec, join an alliance and fight to keep your stations but there's no point at all in adding Thera if it's just more nullsec, there's plenty of that you can go and colonise anyway.


You make a good point. That said, I personally would be happier if EvE was 100% player driven.

I don't even mind NPCs to be honest, if the NPCs were hired and maintained by players.

Just my opinion :-)

Thera flew.

Uhm... guys... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption

"The Minoan eruption of Thera, also referred to as the Thera eruption or Santorini eruption, was a major catastrophic volcanic eruption with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 6 or 7 and a dense-rock equivalent (DRE) of 60 km3 (14 cu mi),[1][2] which is estimated to have occurred in the mid second millennium BCE.[3] The eruption was one of the largest volcanic events on Earth in recorded history.[4][5][6] The eruption devastated the island of Thera (also called Santorini), including the Minoan settlement at Akrotiri, as well as communities and agricultural areas on nearby islands and on the coast of Crete.

There are no clear ancient records of the eruption; the eruption seems to have inspired certain Greek myths,[7] may have caused turmoil in Egypt,[8][9] and may be alluded to in a Chinese chronicle."

It's a lot harder than you might think it is.

I love this idea, but I see one glaring flaw... nullsec and WH rules permit bubbles, so we might end up with the stations in this system constantly bubbled to death.

CCP should pre-emptively add a bubble restriction on grid with station, it would make it much more accessible.



CCP Should also add hunger/thirst , so players will have to go to station to eat , to avoid AFK nullsec cloaking.
CCP should also add cold, where your character becomes "cold and freezing" and to warm up, u need to move your ship around or warp.


no seriously, if you got problems with bubbles, then kill them. They cost money and effort to put up, so why get rid of them. Might as well remove them from game, and add an interactive feature such as

-requirement to "relock target every 30 sec" to stay on target, it will be SO MUCH FUN, its interactive, like WoW, right.
-requirement to fill up your ship with fuel, so when you are traveling around or warping, your ship will use up fuel, so you will need to go and restock(this will avoid game breaking exploit that your shuttle can go around universe without refueling forever until get shot)
