Nonsense, they are significantly less bad. You'd need an army of active players to lock down anything because the bubbles are only there as long as a player is there. And they'd be vulnerable; a lone DIC or even HIC can easily be killed while his friends are still warping the 200 AU to get to him.

They can safely re-dock and try again later. It is a nullsec system, you are not supposed to be able to undock in peace at any time without having combat backup in a nullsec system. If you want a hisec hub, just stay in Jita or Amarr.

But CCP want to make this 'the place to be' fun and exciting. If you want a crummy system playing undock games just trying to get out to do stuff you can already go to NPC Nullsec. If it becomes the place you cant undock because it's always camped then people just wont go.
Thera to me sounds like more or less npc nullsec without local and cynos. What's wrong with that?
It might even be an experiment to see how normal nullsec would work without local.
I don't believe station camping will be a big thing, because a camper without local cannot know what will jump on him once he triggers his weapons timer. Camping will be much more risky than being camped, because the camper cannot dock.
The bigger problem I see is that any serious engagement anywhere in Thera might just escalate into a game of luck because nobody knows how many other parties will join and crash the party.

On the one hand the whole Thera thing sounds very intriguing to me.
On the other hand I cannot really think of many reasons to be there except hope for fights/kills. And if everyone is just there for the fights and kills, there will not be many of them. It'll be like a thousand bored lions and no antelopes.
Thera seems to lack proper conflict drivers. Doing anoms? Suicide in such a system, and can be done much better in one of the normal wspace systems. Mining? Not gonna happen. POS? Not there. PI/POCOs? Not there. Now bashing POSes or POCOs is not exactly great content, but *nothing* doesn't seem to be a great replacement for it.
