OK - so that Press release is far from perfect - but you get the drift!
I love it. Fits in with New Eden Lore as well. However, there should be some way for the average pilot w/out a capital ship to explore these new regions. Perhaps a new skill set for exploration? Allowing a pilot to use small cyno fields to jump a BS or Cruiser to these echos?

I tend to agree!
Considering the cynosaural echos would be unique it would not mean that every Frig/Cruiser/BC/BS in New Eden could start cynoing around the Universe at will.
The new technology or skills would mean a jumpdrive that only operates with these individulal echos.
There is certainly a lot of interesting ways that CCP could introduce the new regions and a lot of ways that would just not be interesting or challenging.

If the introcduction of the cyno fields is brought in you can still jump in and out becuase if you can jump to it (cyno) you can also jump back to the system you came from.

I can seen the goons trying to claim a few regions if there war for cloud does'nt go as they want, they certainly have the man power to get enough isk together to build a few outposts I would imagine, of the rest i can only see LV maybe claiming some of it beingt he major power in the area I just don;nt see this big land grab everyone expects happening though.
Honestly, I would expect that we'd be far more likely to keep fighting for cloud ring and environs and let the new regions suck our competitors away. Logistically, due to our large newbie population and very large casual or semi-casual player population, it's easier by far for us to fight for a region close at hand than it is to pull up stakes and move everyone to somewhere across the map, even if that new region is uncontested. If we all pulled up stakes and moved out of the Syndicate/OR/CR region, we'd have casual members, reactivating members, etc., logging into our old home regions every day for months afterwards and wondering where all their friends were.
We're good at logistics because we have to be, but the thought of moving (what by that time would probably be) 3000+ goons, many of them rank newbies, to an entirely separate region of 0.0 space. . .oh god, the thought alone is horrible. I think we'd rather just keep fighting where we are.

Regions in Northwest? Makes sense I suppose, stops people whining that those poofy Southerners have it easy. Not sure that CCP would invest that time in changing the data though, especially when we have 8 regions ready to be populated.
No doubt though:
- Kali 1 will be delayed, and we won't see it until Jan '07.
- It'll be dropped from Kali 1.
- The changes won't be visible on the test server (much like new chokepoints), to prevent anything gaining an unfair tactical advantage.

Yeah. I think the only way around that would be to introduce system-wide no-jump bubbles. Similar to the ones used in deadspace to prevent warping.

How about this for when they introduce the 8 new regions?
Don't have the regions show up on the map (except for the first system into it) and have a contest for whomever can make the best map of the region, they get a prize and the region shows up on the map.
It would promote exploration and would really have a sense of the unknown.

Its rare I get "excited" about anything in eve anymore. 8 new virgin NPC station free regions is one of those times.
Love the 1 way jump gate idea.
Love the stranded in deep 0.0. with no way back idea.

Interesting.... could instead introduce an exploring/beta type thing and simply hide the systems from the map and prevent autopilot routes being set/guessed.

Ive been suggesting something similar for new regions some time ago, but in my version the new regions would newer show up on the in-game map.
Each gate, belt and celestial object would have to be found by scanner and/or probes.
Basically be the ultimate playerrun regions, and hardest to survive, for the most hard-core players.
Kind of like this, ranked from easiest to toughest, and least to most player run in every aspect:
1.0-0.5
0.4-0.1
0.0 with NPC station
0.0 without NPC station
0.0 with conqurable stations
0.0 without NPC and conqurable stations and no map

Well, not to support or oppose the concept of that, I will say that if they DID do this it would still free up as much space in the long run because, after all, the jump drive capable alliances would have to effectively move from where tehy are now. And, let's be honest, if the benefits are there over what we have already I know that I'd be the first to ditch what we have for pastures a-new.
I'm assuming this is the attitude that CCP is banking on. Migration rather than expansion. Nobody likes being over-extended, and it makes little sense to claim more space than you can effectively populate (either at present, or in the very near future).

Another alternative would be to have the gates to the new regions only let in frigates for the first couple months. If anyone wants to get heavier ships in, they will need to jump them in or build them.

Blood and fire, shattered fleets and broken dreams. The first month will be intense as alliances and independant corporations vie for position in these regions. One or two groups will move in wholesale and try to get a leg up on the competition, most will send in scouts to begin with to survey and appraise... all the while, a mixed flood of the curious and the determined alike will set course for these regions.
Expect massive camps, roaming opportunists, pitched battles, emergency diplomacy, new allies and new foes; all on a daily basis. The new regions will be chaos incarnate until those who manage to invest themselves in the regions begin to solidify control... if they can.
OMG it's going to be fun

I'm looking forward to these regions opening up myself, should be lots of oppertunities for up and comming alliances, lots of new living space, battles and lore to be created :)
Just a personal opinion, but I bet Red Alliance, as currently being one of the strongest alliances without a real home any longer, maybe one of the main contenders for some of those new regions..
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Sounds good but would be a pain in the ass everytime you want to get something from empire.

We need an outpost in the new regions like we need a hole in the head. Too many people would be trying to take it away :p
My vote's on ASCN and ISS for the outposts there, really.

I suspect there will be NPC stations seeded there before they go live, or at least Conquerables.
I'd like to see someone take the absolutely huge number of medicore PVP/Industrial corps, failed/disbanded alliance corps and better PVP corps that don't have a home and make a 4-5k member alliance before this thing opens, A'la ASCN of the north. Even without stations, you can pop an Egg in a gateway system, build the thing under heavy heavy protection, and expand outwards from there.

Some info if it hasn't been said already:
There will be *one* new NPC pirate faction.
New faction backstory already complete or very close to it.
My speculation:
CCP has already decided on how to open up the new regions, we'll just have to wait and see
The new regions are the previous Polaris space, IIRC. Could be wrong though.

Not going to take the time to look it up for a Faceless Noob who can't even come up with a good name, But in the Dev Logs, Its already been stated, numberous times, that the new regions will be completly without stations, and fully player developed.
Conquerable stations came out before Outposts, and I think even before POSs. Now that we have both, they are no longer needed, and as such, won't exsist in the new regions of 0.0

Much of the new content that CCP introduces, tends to get better with time, like a good wine...I suspect these new 8 regions and the accompanying new NPC faction shall be no different..
Lvl 4 missions when they first came out and made a mockery of the release of Exodus.. anybody?
I therefore find it hard to get all excited about them, however, I have no doubt that in time they will be a great asset once brought into balance with the rest of the game.

One prob, how do you travel between new systems... Are there already gates in there? Well that doesn't make sense, does it?
They should just make one MASSIVE system :D, the size of 8 regions... now that'd be great.

oooo damnit, I have an idea...
Make the jump one-way for a month.
Like the whole wormhole that collapsed thing! And the people who go to the new regions are cut off for like the next three months forcing them to really build up from NOTHING.
Damn. That's harsh. It's freakin' awesome tho TBH.
I'd sign up for that. get a group of peeps. stuff a mothership filled with gear and go wandering. Living out of a pos for 3 months scratching a living in the bandlands with no way to get home. fecking awesome fun. Especially if you fly amarr and don't have to worry about ammo. :)
