Imagine- warping to the edge of a dark, clouded abyss in space- you go in and you can't tell up from down, left from right. You travel around for hours, and you happen to come upon a strange-looking ancient outpost, giving off a very abnormal energy signature...

Dangit, everytime someone ressurrects this thread I can't help but think how awesome this would be... For two friggin'g days and then I get all sad because I fear it'll never happen. -.-

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

The thread has been up for 9 months now, and no official response from CCP.
Now, they of course respond to "what is your favourite name", or "what is the best looking ship in Eve", but nope, nothing here.

But I do know that the one of previous CSM members did take the idea directly to CCP at the summit, and they said "yeah, we have seen the thread".

So chances of this happening are really slim.

Figured with Halloween last weekend its time to resurrect this idea... maybe if I say there is free pie and chips we'll get a dev response

I believe dev bait is beer and light up ice-cubes.
That said, while I kinda like the idea, I can't see any workable implementation of this except as a live event.

Still wondering if/when this is going to happen.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

heh... maybe the site is so strange then that you cannot warp into it or out of it. Once you cross into such a site it interferes with warp and jump stability to the point that you can only exit it by piloting out of the edge of it and back into normal space.

Such a place will experience a higher POD loss than normal I expect.
Such a restriction would justify any 'richness' to the site.
Interdiction nullification would not work in such a site as it's effects are very much like an infi-point from a HIC.

The grid size might be problematic. Would there be a central warp in point to enter the site much like warping to any other celestial? Would book marks even work properly around the edges of a site like this?

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Maybe they already exist but since we can't scan for them no one has found any yet?

I like this idea,sounds good.

About the hiding, maybe you it should work as that you can see the fleet on d-scan, but cannot lock them with scaner probes so you cant warp to them.
But you can warp to the mystery fog cloud and wait,or go in and try bump to them, and since inside the fog they canot see out and inside is visible I dunno for 100km etc... :-)

Also idea of lot of variations of what the cloud is hiding sound cool.
Huge pyle of rich expensive minerals?Pirate gang?Pos?Some pve event?
Vision of fleet running out of combat and hiding in cloud where they bump to Drone titan with swarm of drones around sounds funny :D
And outside you will see just lighting clouds and hear thundering and explosions (something like when clouds are storming inside when raining) you know theyr doomed and wait for srvivors....

Hmmmm... :-)

I think something like random warp sounds better.if you will follow someone you hunting and warp after him,you should land somewhere else then him.Will you find him?Will you bump something else?Are you close to him or far?
