Without it, this game would be "Muh Stats Online (with spreadsheets decorated by space ships)" and long forgotten.

I am currently trying to imagine the faces of people when CCP declares player build stargates are only done by the permadeath sleeper players.

Hm, looking at above posters, Hype Boosters are running full tilt!

Honestly, so far it looks that Rhea will shake up Eve lorewise concerning the sleepers and maybe Jovians too (why else deliver jove bodyparts?)

Gameplay wise, it'll throw in alot as well, tech 3 destroyers, the Thera system & the Shattered wormhole systems, not to mention bigger sleeper sites in empire space & roaming Sleeper NPC's ! Oh! And meta Tech2 modules! (Polarized)

Can't wait to see how it'll all connects!

Suddenly the illusion of solitude shatters. Slender, articulated obsidian shapes slide toward you from the surrounding darkness of space. Your sensors scream claxons into your auditory cortex as the drones' targeting systems lock onto your ship. You are not alone. Perhaps you never were.

+1 for using "claxons". I had to look that up.

Plus 1 and a like because that's where our Alliance name came from.

If we get incursions from wormhole space, the one thing you can be sure of, is they ain't Like any incursion you faced before.

Thera shows what happens when HS players engage what they think of as "just gate rats" ( from a series of famous last words in Thera local)Lol

Anyone like to contribute what they have seen?

Famous last words in Thera
I'll start it off.

"Don't be a wimp, the're just like gate rats"
"How hard can they be"
"Wormholers must be pussies, these look easy"
" don't worry they can't hit you from here"
"Whoever heard of a rat battleship with a scram"
"Where's the gates?"
"Locals broken"
"there's nobody in system"

Keep them coming

I'm also very interested in what the SoE and The Sanctuary have to do with all of this. There is way more to them than what meets the eye.

Agreed on this specifically. A few years ago When I read the "Burning Life", I was constantly thinking to myself: The Sisters of EVE oppose capsuleers on an almost fanatical level. They do a great job of hiding behind their humanitarian efforts, but I've long suspected that we will be seeing more aggressive moves from them. I wouldn't be surprised that a high SOE standing in game will be a gateway for interacting with Sleeper factions in the future. Just pure speculation from the canon I've read. (or rather my interpretations.)
