I did wonder if something like this was coming, as i remember reading in the last CSM log that TomB said in response to problem of lag in major battles, that they would soon encourage people to fight in specific places... i did wonder why people would have to travel to exact places in order to have decent battles...
I guess now, i know the reason why... or i would have known earlier had i been to chaos (ever)

You will have to be a big corp if u want one of these stations coz in the CSM log it said that it wont have any defences and you will have to protect it.

If stations are captures by blasting their shields. Then the ideal weapons for station capturing will be lasers. They don't use ammo and they got EM damage. All the other guns are at disadvantage

I read that there will be 1 working module per station. I was wondering if there will be any station with a reprocessing plant. This would be an inbalance having a reproccessing plant in deep space with 1-2 jumps to the good ore.

To those who tested them on Choas, what do they look like? Regular station? Gallente?

Do the math, there are what, 23 regions on the cursed side of the map, they're all going to end up in CA claimed space.

No, look at the map, there are currently 23 regions with no stations. 69 stations = 3 stations per region.
CFS gets 9 stations in the 3 regions beyond Khanid
SA gets 6 stations in the 2 regions beyond Stain
NVA get 6 stations in the 2 regions beyond Venal
Catch, Immensea, Scalding Pass, Wicked Creek, Vale, Tribute and Fade all get 3 stations each.
The 4 regions beyond Catch and Immensea and the 3 beyond Wicked Creek also get stations.

Of course, this means that any corp with less than forty or so pilots, with most of these in battleships, will not be able to posess any station without having their arse shot off by pirates, or greedy alliances.
And the benefit to the untold thousands of players not part of these mega-groups is...?

None.
Ideally that is what would happen yet the Concord pilot specified jumping out of Egbinger.
I hold it more likely that they'll open up the systems beside jove space and plant quite a few there.

I fail to see why a larger group of players should not be able to accomplish more than a smaller group of players. Please explain how this should be possible.

Yes, that's what I thought.
The "big alliances" may be the largest contributors in terms of their affect on the game play, but the majority of players are actually not part of these alliances. So how does catering to the minority benefit the majority? It doesn't.
That seems like a bad thing to me

First of all, I'll ignore the sarcasm.
Secondly, I never denied larger groups should be able to do "more". I just see no benefits of late for smaller-size operations which the greatest number of players of this game belong to. Most paying members aren't part of these huge coalitions, yet we pay the same fees as those who are. Ergo, we likewise deserve some "perks" that we actually could access.

CCP clearly didn't expect that many corporations shedding any form of identity they could've made for themselves forming huge blobs and completely bypassing the corporate war system to just go play musical chairs with the other regional blobs.

You missed cfs. but something tells me they wont mind.

now hopefully they will make them have very large supplys of trade goods needed in empire space, and very large demands for supplys available in empire space to lure all of those traders out of their 0.5+ safty. Also to once again open up the eve universe to trading.
Also lets hope that they have extra wide available office space. Because everyone and their brother will want offices in these stations.

Hmm, I think CCP is just being pragmatic about it.
We need something to fight for, conquer, and protect. We need things that can finally solidify some semblance of 'ownership' of space or things in space.
To me, this just seems like an interesting way of introducing the structures on a probationary basis. Since they are "wrecks" and in bad need of repair, then bugs in the game associated with them will be tolerable for a while.
So CCP is just giving us more things to do in Eve and so its great, imho.

biggest benefit that small corps have is that they have better organization.

Looks interesting.
What confounds me is why the 'joe smallcorp' types that don't leave the empire, actually want a piece of this?
What could a small corp do? They wouldn't be able to defend it for a day. If you made it so they *could* defend it for a day, then such a small force probably never would have made a successful attack in the first place.
why do the small corps even want one? Even if they had the manpower to mine/spawn at a decent rate, they wouldn't be able to because of the constant attacking of the base, etc.
People can't have it all.

Why would this happen? They're not welcome to enter regional alliance space any which way.

So, as i see it, there's absolutely no way that as a small corp you could get one of these stations. Kinda makes me feel like if you don't run along with the flock, you don't get anything.

Oh boy, it's a sad day when Danton and I agree on anything ;-)
But this latest design stunt indeed caters to a vocal minority of megalomanical egomaniacs who are hell-bent on enforcing their style of play on everybody and their pet goldfish only to aggrandize their pitiful virtual selves.
Alliances, my hairy behind. Virtual in every respect, without markers, without identity, without authority, without recognition, without enforcement. Clouds of testosterone drifting through space. Puff, puff...
The alternative would have been to allow those who build rather than claim and tear down all others to work on some kind of infrastructure in .0 space to the benefit of all. Nah, asking too much, there.
CONCORD repeating the mistakes of Fountain all over again. Predictably.
But in a way, I do welcome the new feature. It will turn EVE into more of a pond, where the scum drifts to the outer edges and finally gets too entagled with itself out there to bother the casual Joe hoping to merely take a dip in what little time he has to enjoy himself.

So, let me get this right. The huge corps get the station (duh). the small corps/solo players, get shot when they try to get into the vicinity of the station cauze of gate campers. Mebbe they are lucky and actually get trough, so they do some mining/hunting. then they dock into the station and pay taxes to the huge corps for the refining, selling. If they try to get to another station, they prolly get shot and loose everything. .... How is this going to get the ppl out of empire space?
btw. just in case you're wondering. No, i don't play in empire space. can't remember the last time i saw a 0.5 region. the idea of police patrolling the area seems alien to me.
It really is a silent hint to tell small corps/solo players that if they want to go somewhere in life, join a large corp. Which in this case would be, join a pirate corp, cauze they are going to have the stations and bring in the cash.
On the other side. rl has shown me that ppl always will have something to complain about, so...

why would a small corp want a station? same reason any other corp.. to give there corp a home, a HQ, a identity. A location that hey can call there own, and try to make isk out side the normal areas within Eve. The chance to expand the kind of services that the small corp has the chance to open up a new revenue stream. Lets face it as the market is blooded with tech 1 BPĘs and BPC copies that is needed.
And why should you not have a corp that earns its revenue from station management, renting offices an factoriesą
Also the statement that all the stations will be out side ęempire spaceĘ if its not explored how they get there in the first place? 
And there are plenty of systems within empire space that donĘt have stationsą will that mean there wont be any there for the small or big guys?

noble idea.. but then agen.. this sysems work on kindergarden level.. as 4 year old child thinks... if its mine u cant get it.. if its yors i take it
and if that child got MEGAUBERSUPER PVP Alliance or corp whit 100+ members in PVP
u are outgunned... face it.. no smal corp wil own a station.. only mega large corps will get thous...
and IF, and i sterss word IF, u get one! what stops "them" from taking it from u in 0.0 ?
---all ur bases belong to us! u got no chanse of surviving! ha ha ha---

Beside giving the big corp something fight over, and leave us (the small fish alone), I think there is a agenda behind this. I predict a unknown force (not applied yet to the game), will appear and attack. Forcing the players to cooperate more, if they want to survive. So plz go ahead and keep the stations, I will stay in Empre space (safe and warm), and pick up the leftovers when that conflict is finnished
