Why would they mine ice here over wherever they are mining it right now? IThe just seems pointless. I'm more concerned about the racial nature of ice and how it is far more likely that the ice is useless to you because it is of the wrong type rather than being too dangerous to get. Danger is how it is in wormhole space and these systems will be no different than others in that respect.
Then you just move the ice and sell it in thera heh.

Except that's not what the blog says:
"The twenty five Small Ship Shattered Wormhole Systems will have all the features of the normal Shattered Wormhole Systems, with the following additions: GÇó All wormholes in or out of these systems will be small ship wormholes, meaning that only Frigates, Destroyers and Heavy Interdictors (Heavy Interdictors can use their bubble generators to reduce their mass) can enter.

Best reasons to enter are the C6 level gasses and taking advantage of the WR effect for Assault Frigates like the Enyo to clean house in the C1 through C3 anoms present. A decent reason to go for some. Will be interesting then to see how effective the T3 destroyers and T2 HICs are in those environments. |

*pinches the bridge of his nose* this Is why I am asking for clarification... the blow says the 25 small holes have the exact same stats as the 75 other ones. So.... if the stats are the same, and they have ice in them, there is zero point to have ice if you have no means to mine it. Its to verify that ccp realize this, and if not to make a slight modification. This is what feedback threads are for you know =)

and this is a valid reason to add ice to the 25 holes. But, I still want clarification that someone at ccp forgot to check and overlook this detail or that I am not misreading the data we were provided.

This sounds awesome.
Don't know if anyone write this before, and haven't eyes on the testserver atm, but please CCP, if you write about "multiple" known-space-statics don't think to small. This system can't have enough statics. Give it at least 5 of each kind (Hi, Low, 0.0) so there is allways a way a thirdparty can enter without being interceptet. And Locals have multiple choices to leave and enter Thera. Bether make it ten of each. Each static multiplies the possibilities of content. If you doing this big enough, Thera will be the place for smallscale in whole EVE. |

I too, am curious about the mining, particularly the ice mining sites in the frig only systems. Also, even more frig wormholes in w-space feels like further efforts by ccp to encourage the current residents to leave.
Nice to hear Thera bars deployed bubbles though. At least make the pilot risk a ship for bubbling if they want to keep something bubbled.
Edit: Also, very nice looking stations |

Those who want to mine their ice can and will and those who choose to import will keep doing it. This is really just to allow self sufficiency if you want it as it doesn't take a lot of ice mining to get what you need and can be ninja'd pretty quickly when the opportunity presents itself. Sure. With 50 Russians camping in WH stations. Useless Firstly, the ice systems are numerous and not just Thera. They will get their ice from any number of systems.
Why Russians? Lots of people will be pewing it up in there. Weird concerns overall.

Unless ice drops from 1000m3 per block or venture become capable of equipping ice harvesters, I don't see it happening.
Frig holes are too small for barges (they are a 2 to 3 mil max mass hull. Smallest barge is 20,000,000 mass (procurer).

If you doing this big enough, Thera will be the place for smallscale in whole EVE. The reason W-Space was a place for small scale at all was because of the mass limitations and limited connections. 5-10 WH's of each type doesn't sound to me like you want to third party with a small gang. Unless small to you means less than 1000. |

It wouldn't be that far fetched to add the ability to the Prospect It has a decent sized bay to hold almost as much as the Procurer so really all it needs it the ability to use the modules

But that dashes my hopes of a new T2 Gas Huffing frigate. (Since the Prospect huffs at the same rate as a Venture, with just a larger bay.) |

So happy to see this announced. W-space has needed new content for a while now, and I look forward to seeing how the new systems end up being used. Will the new C5/C6 systems have capital capable statics to k-space?

Please make sure you completely disallow warp bubbles in Thera. If you want to ensure that the system doesn't stay locked down and has the opportunity for enterprising industrialists and independent/small groups to settle and set up a market, treat the system mechanics more like lowsec than null.

Wow. Only 4 stations. Did not see that coming.
This pretty much renders the system useless for most capsuleers. You don't think the Goons or PL or any other major alliance can indefinitely lock down 4 stations?
They can. They will.
Super disappointed there. It's just a toy for alliance combat. You've locked out everyone else who would have an interest in going, which is to say, most players.
I guess the rest of us will just have to wait for you to figure it out.
WTF CCP? What are you thinking? Surely you've thought about this... what do YOU think is going to happen? |
