Wormholes

Unless this is a prototype for future null sec, ie large systems, no local, I really fail to see the point.

Just wanted to post about the length of the system

The current longest warp you can make in the game is:

9-266Q, from the H-PA29 gate to the BV-1JG gate. 283.34 AU.


So you can possibly expect this system to be twice as long, he said it will be by faaaaaaaar the longest system in eve, so maybe we are looking at 400-500au

I actually don't get the point for this new system:

- As a TradeHub: Pretty useless because of risk
- As a brawl Arena: well maybe, but there is nothing to win and no tears to shed
- Interconnection for 0.0 wars: Nope, no Caps allowed

The only reason to make a system like this, would be that you can get a resource there that you can't get anywhere else. But then this won't be WH space anymore, since the Goons or whatever Nullbear just moves in with 20000ppl to dominate the resource.

So CCP: Why should i go there???

I remember you guys trying to evict us like one year back. It was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable weekends we had.

So i got my reason: If you'll be around, we'll be too

I think it was that 30strong ishtar gang that was shooting a POS and we yolo'd a 15strong T3 gang in. 3 Guardians proven insufficient.

It also wasn't an eviction, you guys were lockable, that's all. If I don't mix that up, we went many holes.

Also, thanks - we share a timezone I believe

I very much doubt that they will make the main trade hub of Thera like Jita 4/4 with no local and bubbles. And all the same old mechanics

Whilst amusing for the first few hours, it would absolutely result in the failiure of their project, they have far more sense than this.

A few potential issues have been identified, and work arounds suggested.

Local spam, permanent hell camps making the development as a trade hub unlikely, remote boosts running for the whole width of an enormous system, have been clearly pointed out.

I mentioned this earlier ,

Personally I would imagine it like a port in the carribean in the haydays of the piracy there, ships were hunted, killed and looted all the time, but the few occasions, where it was attempted in sight of the main trade ports, a hail of cannonballs resulted in the destruction of the ships involved, and the swift execution of the offending crews. Others with more intelligence and survival instinct soon realised that doing so was not the best of ideas.

This allowed trade to florish, even if many ships and crews died in the waters out of sight of the ports.

This seems a practical and proven way to deal with this issue.

The local spam issue deserves the same punishment, an open airlock is also acceptable.

When looking for solutions to "problems" imagine what the station would do to those who pissed them off.

Great lore would be to allow it to be a deathzone for a week or so as self restraint completely fails, then announce the station owners taking matters into their own hands to keep the tradeways open. (After they unnanounced, blew the living hell out of those camping the station) if you run a station in such lawless space, you are not afraid of overkill...........

And yes, Let the station defences Podkill.

Edit:- is it possible to impliment that one can only post in local when in space uncloaked in thera? Let us hunt the spammers down and deal swift justice?

Looks like they're just making it so there are no anchored bubbles - only dictor/hictor bubbles, which is cool. Between that and the fix for hobojamming this system should be highly difficult to control without putting a large fleet on the field (read: vulnerable). I anticipated they would do this, and I'm glad they did.

All of this space sounds quite exciting. The frig-only systems in particular should be full of D3 fights. Should be interesting.

so 2 of the 4 stations are right next to each other?
sweet, so there's only really 3 stations. im sure the system wont be camped to **** at all!

Those are actually two stations.

Thera also resembles swiss cheese on SiSi, wonder what it will look like on TQ
Stations are roughly 250AU apart.

Going into detail, careful spoiler:

• I'd like to have another zoomlevel. You can't zoom out far enough to get Thera onto a regular screen oO
• Scanning and bookmarking out the complete system at a slow pace took roughly 20 minutes, mainly because I kept capping out when warping, all V toon used without implants
• Some new holes are E587 (maybe null-statics, and V898 (maybe low-statics) and Q063 (obviously frigsized, found one to null and one to high with the same name)
• The system currently has 5 K162s from w-space, 4 nulls (one of them frigsized) and 3 lows in total and 2 highsecs, one of those frigsized. So it currently has 14 connections, and a vital core.
• Probe Scanner
• T458 (high to thera), F135 (c2/c3/c5 to thera), appears to have 3 lowsec statics and 3 nullsec statics, with atleast one wandering high-thera signature that fits a freighter(?). Five F135s is what is up right now.

Camp that, m8. Well, you can camp the one highsec that fits freighters, but let's call that the big chokepoint.
