It isn't such a far fetched thought that there will be one or perhaps two new factions considering some of these old blogs. Perhaps the deranged survivors of the Second Jove Empire?

Eight New Regions We'll be opening up the eight existing but closed regions in the "top right" section of the universe (No, not Jove, just below them). They won't be owned by any NPC faction and there will be no conquerable stations, only ore and stuff. This is done to make room for more players. It will include various rogue NPC entities.

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. 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!

For the NPCs I say let faction warfare be the deciding factor for npc spawns. The pirate factions want a piece of the action as much as the empires and alliances do. So start the regions out with rogue drone spawns (improved ones with good loot hopefully) and then introduce npcs with factionial warfare. ---

Hm, with no stations I suspect the back areas will be mostly unpopulated.
It might not be a bad idea to fit out an Apoc (or the tier 3 BS if it's good) and then just move in as far away as I can and bring in some GSCs and then just rat in super deep space where no one ever goes :)

I think the new regions should REQUIRE you to use a Jump Drive to reach them! You want in? You'd best get the Carriers and Dreads ready to move some indys and mining barges.
THAT's a new frontier, folks!
agreed

Edited by: breaky1 on 20/07/2006 18:33:14 Edited by: breaky1 on 20/07/2006 18:31:50 Given Asor's enlightening post (Tin-hattery) regarding secret alliance cooperation, I expect a BoB/D2/IRON/FLA/Sparta/NFC/Goonie/ASCN coalition will fake a massive multi-sided attack in the new regions to prevent any small corps from entering the region. After infrastructure is in place, they will most likely peacefully divide the regions among themselves and never fight there again.

A system where the new regions could only be reached via a limited number of cynos fields would heavily favor those with motherships and titans. Carry ships in the hold, let people jump clone in and you can actually leave the system you have jumped into.
If you only have carriers or dreads one of the pilots has to eject, get into a ship with a cynos field and then go elsewhere. That's assuming that you can actually field a bunch of capital ships...

Have I missed something? Where has CCP said they were going to open up 8 new regions? Anyone got a link to what was actually said?
It is an interesting idea though. Would be nice to see a expansion in space. I remember back when logging in at peak times and finding 2000 ppl online was considered a lot. Now things are just to crowded for my liking.
As for the ideas presented here for how to access them. Well, of course those with a large jump capable fleet of dreds,carriers, and mother ships are gonna lobby for no gates and jump only access. It would give them space they dont have to defend and only they could access.
If there is any truth to this then I hope they just spawn some new gates and let everyone fight their way in. Everyone from a 1 day old noob to the 3 year old characters have equil right to try and grab a piece for them self.
No one can hear you scream in space, so just shut up and die already. |

how would you get someone there to make the cyno field?
You would have to make an alt with the New race thats coming, you know, the Wizards.

If its the areas you see on the map but cant get to, just do a station count and you'll see all kinds of stations in there. And I havent really checked them out in awhile but it seems I remember seeing higher security systems also in there, some .5 even. I'll have to look at them again and see if it has changed any.

Kinda useless... CCP has stated that the new regions will be populated with rogue drones. There will be no bountys only alloy drops.

Idea
24 hours before they launch the new regions, ISD will announce that in 32 (4 systems for every new region jump-in system) systems all over EVE (0.0 systems with no soveranty) scientists found space-time anomalies similar to jump-gates that link these systems with systems in the new ( long lost) regions, but these anomalies are to unstable to use for travel.
So they issue gate BPCs, for the people that want to create new gates into the new regions. You must just get sovranity, build a gate, transport it to the anomaly, with a freighter, put it there and wait for the next DT.
Next step get on the other side, take soveranty build another gate and place it there and after another DT the link is complete.
Is a 4-5 days work, lots of logistics, must have a big fleet to protect both ends (for 2 days you will be able to jump into that system, but not back, except for capital ships), and the will be a prize for the first alliance that gets the connection to that region, and also it will name that region.

and that way. all the grown up alliances get the lewt and the rug rats are left with... exactly the same deal as before.
the new regions arent there as lebensraum for old alliances (or so I hope...)

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.
Words cannot describe how much this idea kicks total friggin butt.
DO THIS CCP! I BEG OF THEE!
My god man, Good idea..

Yea sometime back i wondered about random wormholes which spawned in a different system after each downtime. Gives you 24 hours to get your act together and move through also should give you time to astablish some sort of base. Or what a find it would be for a individual who wishes to sell the location. But that said imagine it spawning in jita

If there's one thing alliances need its more prizes and territorial monopolies...
So far the best idea I've heard is that one-way jump thing. That would be great.

That's Jove space, which CCP are not opening. If you look a little east of it, there's a big cluster of empty (station-wise) systems. Those are the systems CCP are opening up.

They need to have ( at least) one entrance from GW close enough to send cap ships through, and they need to have a further one entrance that is near to every 0.0 region currently in the game. Then we can *all* go fight over em. :P Maybe a real North vs South war would really happen. +++

Having them accessable by cap ships only, would be pointless as there will be no stations, which means no way to transport an outpost egg...
Its a nice idea, but ultimately will lead to 8 carebear alliances that don't have to worry about normal fleet incursions into the new regions, and will spend 99% of there time killing rogue drones for minerals...

I've always thought there should be a jump drive module that can be fit on smaller ships. Costs you a highslot and maybe some other penalties. Presto, now anyone can access the "jump-drive only" space. This would improve the "new frontier" feeling as well as help alleviate the massive gatecamp battles I expect will show up when people try to control the entrances.
And I want to take my little punisher through a cyno field.

I just hope that we finally get a faction Dominix. I'd love to have my precious mission Domi with an extra mid or high slot, a higher base resist set, or some sexy bonus to drones or tanking. That and the Drone BSs look awesome, I want to fly one arround.

Originally by: FireFoxx80 Only 2 months (or so) away.
Anyone want to guess how the pilotical map will shift?
Personally I think we'll see a lot of curret 0.0 conflict die down whilst alliances try and land grab. My money is on someone after a few weeks hiring the MC to escort and egg or two out into the badlands.
Its common information from the spy networks that BOB is already gearing equipment and assets to take over and control the new regions which frankly is a superb idea by the way  This will be their new region.
What puzzles me is MC acting as if Seleene didnt already knows this!  It should be fun for all though.

As for the Stargates between the systems individually (I'm ALL for Seleene's idea of one-way jump-ins into the new regions) past the initial systems, there's a pre-established Pirate faction there, THEY built some form of a stargate, and at first we won't be able to utilize them because our ships will not have the access codes/freqs/tech for them.
This would make a few skills (I.E., Hacking) useful, as well as those "Shiplog" drops that noone bothers with.
Just to add to the melting pot of ideas.

These new territories will be nothing but roving HAC gangs eating alive anything they see, at least until a number of people move in to setup defense. Taking the current resident to defense ratio that most regions present, it'll take 10,000 pilots moving to a single region to defend it. :p ---------------------------------------- Friends Forever
