You have heard almost nothing about it because almost nothing is going on there. That's your update.

Allowing bubbles in Thera was a mistake.

Hell, imo, bubbles in general are a mistake. Risk>>>>>Reward

Can you imagine if the Empire had used bubbles agains the Millenium Falcon? Very short movie.

If you read the Star Wars novels, the Empire had bubbles and used them quite often on main characters. Led to many entertaining moments.

I played a starwars RTS that had interdictors, when one was on map you couldn't retreat from the battle, you couldn't warp any ships in on it (had to be at range) and it also had something that could be turned on and off, which caused missles to fly out of control.

I honestly think warp bubbles could be catagorized. One that pulls you out of warp and causes a small timer (cooldown? stabilize warp core?) before you can warp again, then one that doesn't pull you out of warp but instead prevents warp off in a radius and cannot be placed on top of each other.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

I've said many times before, bubbles are awesome. They are pretty much the only way players can influence the battlefield. I think CCP has gone the right way with deployables, but that there is so much further they can go. If I had my way, there would be many and varied types of bubbles (imagine the wormhole effects but in deployable bubble-sizes, imagine webbing bubbles, target painting bubbles, cap draining bubbles, the skys the limit).

Star Wars: Empire at War (Gold)

It's actually an amazing RTS game, at least the space portion. It's on Steam, and was recently part of a Star Wars Humble Bundle.

And yeah, both sides had gravity well technology.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Gravity wells.

It's not the bubbles, it's the gates. Nobody is complaining about their use in the battlefield. It's the bubbles all over and around the gates. If the Falcon had to go through gates and plus the gravity wells and plus numerous pilots killing everything that moved for no reason (or maybe for backstory, some esoteric religion called "MuhStats") , there would not have even been a movie. Heck all systems not under constant patrol by Star Destroyers would be empty save for a few pilots each system who would immediately dock up if they saw another pilot they didn't know. There would be no story at all. Just a lot of meh in space.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Seems interesting. However I'm sure those static entrances to this location will be camped unless they remove the gate on the other side allowing players to randomly populate within Therra. Also just like Jita there's usually one station that primarily deals with trading so adding 20+ extra stations within Therra wouldn't help unless the items are accessible at any station?

Just checking on Eve Scout, it looks like there are currently 25 connections into Thera. The few days I was there, the only connections that were reliably camped were high sec entrances, especially if it was near a trade hub. Null sec entrances were maybe camped if it led to active space. Lowsec and j-space connections were generally ignored. It's been awhile since I've been there (need to go back), but I can't imagine that behavior has changed much.

Can't speak on the market. It was in it's infancy when I was there. I seem to remember there being things for sale in all four stations though.

It would be interesting to see what happened if they did remove bubbles. Currently it is too easy to lock down the system and people don't seem to be taking the risk.

I, for one, think that the concept of Thera is amazing. A lawless hub that is connected to places all over New Eden. I do not enjoy station games, though, and it seems many other people do not either. Therefore, at this time, I cannot justify basing out of Thera.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

personally I think bubbles are rthe worst invention in EVE to date. Dictors, unsure. YOu have frigates for warp jamming, use them, and encourage variety in fleet.

Hey ho.
