Thera sounds alot like Terra. Are we going home? BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

Arla Sarain 97	Posted - 2014.11.07 08:32:12 - [3] - Quote The fix to the blue doughnut: A) Ignore the blue doughnut. B) N/A I'm not sure how often CCP focuses on lore. I didn't imagine it would have such an impact on GD. Thera this, Thera that. Will we get home, will Earth humans be cyborgs. Will they eat our babies, weaponize capsuleers, bring forth the destruction of EVE cluster, will there be a war. Will PVE be great. Tags tags tags.

Sounds like a waste of development ressources to me. You mean all the 30 minutes that takes to add a new system to the game? And without capitals the large groups are unable to claim it. All the large groups are lazy dudes thatlost their small gang warfare skills long ago. It will be like he claims, mos esley, full of criminals. Make the station guns themselves extra powerful and you keep things under moderate control. "If brute force does not solve your problem.... then you are surely not using enough!"

Aram Kachaturian Love Squad Confederation of xXPIZZAXx 133	Posted - 2014.11.07 10:05:16 - [16] - Quote February 2014: " A real new region to explore. Not wormhole, something bigger, more exciting and less unstable. My idea for this new region is giving the opportunity to everyone to be like the great explorers, visite unique landscapes and find a corner to build colonies. With a specific mechanic to avoid blocs/supremacy." Aram Kachaturian, CSM Candidate November 2014: " Thera is to be a hybrid wormhole system with unique mechanics combining aspects of wormhole, nullsec, and lowsec space. No capital ships or POS will be allowed or built within this system [...] attractive to alliances on deployments, sightseers, and PvP-hungry pilots. A unique sun, multiple unique nebulae, new station colors, and other new graphics will add to the flair."

The leap to Terra is only the difference of a few letters, but it's still a leap for no particular reason. Probably because Thera is an anagram of Earth (same letters, differently ordered) Tbh, I wonder about the new 'Wormhole' systems they announced (yes multiple, Thera just sucked most attention) They seem to differ from normal W-space with their static K-space connections and inability to build POS & have NPC stations (albeit unknown if the other new systems have stations) Pirates venture in wormhole systems!

So either the Earth itesef has gone down the drain or just is 23,000 years more advanced than New Eden. Balance that... The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7.

I'm guessing that's what is going to happen. Yaay!!!!

Emma Muutaras State War Academy Caldari State 63	Posted - 2014.11.07 14:13:43 - [32] - Quote The only way i can see this new wormhole trade hub working is if the wormhole had a unique wormhole effect that disables weapons otherwise it will be a ghost town full of pirates. the only issue with that is the vast majority of eve players me included will most likely reject a system that is 100% safe though i could be swayed to it if the system had zero value (no belts,missions combat sites ect and the stations had no research / manufacturing (basicly no upside to the system at all for risk adverse game play)

Momoyo Rivinshield Trading Inc. 53	Posted - 2014.11.07 15:29:08 - [35] - Quote Thera could also be a reference to Thera as alluded to by CCP Terminus on reddit. Quote: Somehow I'm guessing this quote from the livescience article (http://www.livescience.com/4846-eruption-thera-changed-world.html) is the rough idea CCP_Terminus is going for here: "Thera didn't just blow a massive hole into the island of Santorini GÇô it set the entire ancient Mediterranean onto a different course, like a train that switched tracks to head off in a brand new direction." For more detail (or TL;DR of the article) - the volcanic explosion of Thera lead to the end of the Minoan civilization and the rise of the Greeks in the Mediterranean. So the founding (or existance?) of Thera is supposed to lead to the downfall of the Empires, which dovetails nicely with the whole capsuleer empires w/ stargates stuff that we're headed towards. Nice use of slightly obscure history CCP.

epicurus ataraxia Z3R0 Return Mining Inc. Illusion of Solitude 1335	Posted - 2014.11.07 16:07:17 - [39] - Quote Thera was the name of the current island of santorini in the mediterranian, it was a major centre of power, culture and trade. Some believe it was the source of the legends of atlantis, The island exploded in one of the greatest cataclysmic events in human recorded history, causing the collapse of multiple civilisations, and resetting power in the mediterranian for ever. The world as we know it would be a very different place if that had never happened. Possibly the greatest catastrophy for humanity ever. Your opinion may differ. CCP may be choosing the new name in reference to this. Or rearranging letters. I know my vote is on them using the good stuff. [u]_There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE _[/u]
Makoto Priano Priano Trans-Stellar State Services Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 6429	Posted - 2014.11.07 16:18:12 - [40] - Quote Remember that the CCP name guru likes layers, multiple layers that make sense at multiple stages. 'Thera' obviously references the Thera Eruption, which destroyed Minoan civilization and brought about the rise of the Greek States. Odds are this is indeed ancient in that the Thera Eruption likely didn't happen in our time, but to ancient civilizations-- which is to say it could be referencing the seeming collapse of a coherent Sleeper empire, the collapse of Terran-centered civilization in New Eden, or even the collapse of Terran civilization depending on what happened there, and where the EVE Gate was relative to Earth. The other layer is of course the Thera/Earth/Heart anagram. It's a small one, but it does inform the other reading. We'll have to see what Thera looks like once we're in it. If it happens to have eight (nine? ;) ) planets, the third of which is Terran, etc, etc, then we may just happen to be looking at Sol. Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs.

Makoto Priano Priano Trans-Stellar State Services Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 6429	Posted - 2014.11.07 16:26:48 - [42] - Quote Oh, agreed, Ataraxia. I was talking about the name of the system. I strongly suspect that we're going to get a lot of possible new systems once gate technology by players becomes a thing, and I suspect we're going to see it tie a lot with Sleepers/Thera/other shenanigans. ;) But I figure that's probably half a year out, right? Sooo... Priano Trans-Stellar: elegant solutions for the State's needs.
Deacon Abox Justified Chaos Spaceship Bebop 404	Posted - 2014.11.07 17:28:42 - [43] - Quote Thera will have unique system effects. An obvious one to place there would be a hefty scan res penalty. Another would be disabling bubbles. And then it better also have a buttload of equally valuable stations. Otherwise station camps and docking games will just kill off any theory of it being a market hub for wormholers. OTOH, if it does succeed as some large gathering place, it won't necessarily syphon off congestion from Jita, because alts. It could just become a second Jita of a sort. Let's hope CCP has figured out something about many many concurrent characters in system then. CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting-áoff button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

Jax Kazen Prometheus Deep Space Mining and Salvage 29	Posted - 2014.11.07 18:14:15 - [45] - Quote I could see it becoming a second Jita in terms of population but not in terms of commerce. With random connections I see it as a staging point for day-tripping in WHs but with no Concord protection, I can't see people moving product en mass. Based on limited supply and potential increased demand as a staging area price will probably be high but supply with be a constant issue. Obviously all just a guess - interesting effects would be if lock time got cranked up or random lock interrupts coupled with some sort of 5x warp stabilization. That would allow supply ships a chance to get to a station if they align/warp quickly or tank long enough for an interrupt. Would add a new dynamic of trying to either tank a supply ship or make it more agile/warp faster. The site seeing aspect will be interesting but you have to figure that those locations are going to be cloaky gank magnets

Opening up Jove Space would be far more interesting.
