You were right, it is unclaimable but many people put them up anyway... there are a few different reasons, and like Alice is pointing out -- the most obvious one, is to catch you in a trap when you go to look at it.

Here's a thread from last year, where someone stumbled upon a TCU as well. So basically they claim the system, without actually claiming it. Blink

You can anchor the TCU in wspace, it does not however let you online it.

It's the same thing with lighting cynos in wspace, you can, however attempting to jump an in range capital in a nearby wspace system results in a Destination Unknown error.

So, basically, all of the necessary mechanics are in place except the "functional" part.

I wonder if that is something to look for on the horizon..........nullsec sov wars extending into W-space.............

Not sure how I feel about that.................

This! Never touch w-space with that filthy nullsec thing of yours (yes I am very aware of the irony).

I would think the most obvious reason is noobz who don't know game mechanics thinking they can actually claim wspace systems...

If they open another branch of Wspace that untouchable and let wspace be null + I wouldnt mind just everyone in wspace would have to migrate to the new wspace.

Imagine destroyable player built stargates allainces making final stands in effected systems.

Instead of just making new space touchable ? ^^
