For anyone wondering, this isn't a copy paste issue. We did (a small amount of) extra work to put the ice fields into these wormholes, their presence is intended and is not a bug.

If the presence of the ice in those systems offends you greatly, I advise right clicking on that particular anomaly and pressing the "Ignore" button.

I look forward to the new ice mining frigate. I hope it is a second t2 venture variant though, like the prospect, but with ice harvesting bonuses instead of gas/ore bonuses.

Mildy disappointed Rhea won't have a way to mine it, but glad to get acknowledgement that it was intended. I look forward to ways of getting the ice. And will just have to mine the crap out of the 75 other systems if I ever connect to one lol

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Prospect should gain the ability to fit ice harvesters as-is.

Might see them used a bit then, and dealing with that will provide a use for all of the electron blasters in the universe.

What's the reason of having ice fields in frigate-only shattered wormholes considering no frigate can harvest ice atm?
Will we be able to actually harvest this ice somehow?

Edit: y well, in the future ok.

Thera should make a good battleground sounds like.

soooo basically small shattered wormholes are going to just be a thunderdome of
devoters with 4 1600 plates and small guns.

My two cents: New expedition frigate that has ice mining bonuses instead of ore. Same as prospect but make it a little different like take out the cov ops cloak capability and put in interdiction nullifier or something like that. Either introduce ice lasers that only work on the Expedition frigates (might as well let unbonused Prospects use them as well) or allow this new ship to fit one Ice Harvester. Whichever is less messy.

Oh, and +1 on the guy that said make ice 100m3.

I think Thera is a great concept. I'm kind of sceptical on there actually being a strong incentive to inhabit the system, but the idea of a Jita for outlaws is very entertaining.
I'm not too worried about Null sec alliances trying to lock down the system. We are talking about locking down a system that has no functional moons. There goes a huge incentive right there. And on top of that, they are moving manpower and ships to a place that is difficult to leave, reducing their numbers in actual null space. It's just a bad idea for any serious null sec alliance.

Yay for adding resources that cant be harvested. Totally copy and pasted. CCP lies when they said "Extra effort was made to pute ice in the wh's" Yea right so your also unable to make a way to harvest it to?

Nice idea, bad execution.
