It doesn't neccesarily need Concord. A few sentries blowing up dictor bubbles and hostiles at the stations would do a lot to make camping more difficult while still not making it high sec safe. |

The best way to make a it a mos eisley of eve is to have player security force and make it NRDS. Then you keep it open and can camp the wh's and deal with reds and mess around. But alas, won't happen. And my corp is to small to even try and do that.
There would need to be a strong incentive for a player to do so. Like, if a corp could own the station and profit off the broker fees than they would have a reason to make it a "safe" place to use as a market. |

If you want that station camp gone you have to remove it yourself.
The incentives aren't good enough for me to bother removing it myself. I am just going to avoid the system instead.
I was thinking of ways to make the system attractive to players. |

1: Some morons will go there to grief.
2: Some morons will go there because it's new.
3: Hopefully Goons will permacamp it.
Either way that's a lot of morons migrating to one system and out of the general populace.
That won't last long though.
I suspect after this all dies down Thera will be a place for PvPers(interceptors in particular) to base out of for roams into low/null sec. |

Get friends, clear camps, populate station markets, profit.
I don't think its profitable enough. I mean, why would people go to Thera for their market instead of one of the high sec trade hubs? If they are using wormholes to travel already they can easily find a high sec static and go to one of the existing trade hubs much more safely.
And having players who try to guard the station is more likely to attract pirates than it is to scare them off. If pirates *know* they can go to system X and get fights they are going to constantly go to system X.
The system will be useful as a base for roaming PvP gangs, but it won't be Mos Eisley. Pirates are still better off having their alt shop in Jita for them(which is much closer to Mos Eisley, some protection, but people still get killed in Jita and its full of scammers and pirates). |

Speaking for real PVE jocks in this game (who give no Fs about someone tryin to pvp us), please ignore the whiny "wahhh, people won't let me solo PVE in peace" loners who don't get what game they are playing.
Why would you PvE in Thera over a regular wormhole or a high sec ice belt other than to prove you can? Its clearly worse isk/hr when you factor in all the time and manpower you have to put into fighting off PvPers. |
