Every day now we're stepping closer to the new regions opening, and what will probably be one of the largest land grabs and hot zones in eve for a while. We're almost certain to see outposts been built at record rates especially if the larger alliances use titans to jump bridge in outpost construction convoys leap-froging those that would have to run in industrial convoys over a large number of 0.0 jumps into what will be a very busy (read: hostile) area.
But the question is how profitable will these regions be. This is totally dependant on the ore, ice and rat layout. Im going go out on a limb here and say its highly unlikely that there will be any new forms of ore or ice, as it would mean a large portion of BP's needing to have receipies changed to make the new ores useful. So that leaves us with a predefined set of existing layouts.
Based off ice along, i'd like personally at least a couple of regions to be serpentis because theres half as much thick blue ice out there as there is of any other races type 2 ICE, but would be hard to explain story wise tbh.
By pieces of storyline floating around about sansha and angel cartel, and the fact of where the new regions are located, im inclined that the regions will be a mix of the ammarian and minmatar patterns. So the ore will be fine the big cash earner bistot will be there as will arknor and crokite, but not in the same regions.
Rats of course will be sansha and angel cartel, and Ice will be of course racial ammarian and minmatar, meaning those racial capital ships & pos's will have a home turf advantage though.
This is all open to interpretation though, seeing as nothings set in stone, its just the likely way things are going to go. Probably the first come back to this will be but the new regions are next to jove space so we'll get jove priates. Thats true, but read the back story to the jove is highly unlikely they they'd have pirates in their society. Plus if jove pirates were been worked on we most likely would have heard something or seen an errant screenshot by now, not to mention it would probably require a whole new line of loot and therefore modules and weapons to go alone with them.

I couldn't tell you about the ores, but the belt rats aren't (at least not all) going to be normal pirate rats. There will be rogue factions, including, but not limited to (if I am interpreting the dev announcements correctly) rogue drones.

Would be intrested in knowing which parts of the dev posts have lead you to that conclusion.

Give the "OMGITSTOOHARDIN0.0" argument a rest for a bit, this thread is for info, not for showcasing insecurities. If you want to do that, start an emo thread in OOP so I can happily ignore it.
As for Toxic, I'll try and find some of the more detailed and specific stuff tommorrow, but for now I'll leave you this and this, containing respectively:
Originally by: Oveur And about regions. The 8 new ones are now getting resource distribution, their rogue NPCs being authored, backstory worked on and some other nice twist.
Originally by: Oveur we are creating more Rogue drones for the 8 new regions, on your upper right-hand side. This involved copying over current NPCs as a base and somy gifted copy-pasting work which changed them all to have more standard attributes, like bounty and MWD and such.
Rogue drones do not have bounties and won't have. They have alloys. In Kali One, they'll leave wrecks, which you can salvage in addition to their alloy loot.

What I'm most looking forward to here is that it has no NPC stations, this area of space will be built up by players. Now I just need to get my other 1489 player infrastructure and sovereignty features in and we're all good!

I take that to mean a new pirate faction, but i could be worng?

Oveurs quote is perhaps open to interpretation, in that the current sansha and angel storyline is the story that setups up the npc's in the new regions, perhaps making them a rouge faction of one of the existing factions.

I hope they redo the new regions' truesec for Kali, because otherwise you'll just be able to look up the good systems on a website without needing to explore at all. Just seems kind of weak to have a frontier zone like that completely known before anyone's been there.

I would really, really hope they don't go with a racial ice distribution. It was about the silliest thing to do over the current 'verse but PF makes sense which I guess is ok.
But the new regions are deep 0.0 - the ice distribution should be more diverse and thus not favor any one type of ice usage over the others.

It would be nice if they added some new Empire zones.
Before you all start hollering "carebear" hear me out.
The current Empire and "new" Empire zones would be separated by large 0.0 regions. If they made the Empire zones different in that stuff needed for building could only (or mostly only) be found in one area and not the other that would spur the need for trade between the two zones (e.g. make pyerite easily had in one area and mexallon common in the other). This would get all sorts of people trying to run through 0.0 thus increasing PvP prospects as well as open some interesting game for traders. You'd need multiple routes so there was no one chokepoint to be camped to hell and back by one alliance. Of course controlling those routes would be profitable for an alliance so alliance warfare would probably increase as people fought over these lucrative pieces of real estate. And finally might get rid of the overpopulation in the current empire as people spread out. I mean 8 new regions of 0.0 when right now 90% of 0.0 is mostly unpopulated and 90% of the people live in Empire? This would hopefully spread things out a bit more and draw more people to roam 0.0.

Lets call this seperate place divided by 0.0 "jove space" and create some lore about how it had been seperated this whole time and decided to reopen its borders.

There are a few snippets of info in E-ON #004 (Arrived yestoday) it basically says:
"Lawless Regions"
"They are not owned by an NPC faction nor do they have stations. This territory is for the pilots to build from the ground up"
