Regarding gate camps: When you go through a wormhole you will appear at the exit wormhole. Theoretically it is possible that someone could set up a gate camp on the other side, but pilots can view how much mass and time left on the wormhole, so pilots need to make a value judgment about whether to jump through. Of course, there is also the chance that the campers get over enthusiastic and only leave enough mass for one more pilot to jump through. Which would cause the wormhole to collapse. So the campers might end up stuck in the wormhole system...and if they haven't got a ship with a probe launcher, well they'll be in an interesting position to be sure. 
Oh that rules! Great design!
Seems that the expansion is going to rule supreme. Can barely wait. |

OMG, this sounds epic, however I am wondering about the following -
How common will worm holes be? Are we going to have 5000 people hunting for the same wormhole, and only one r two finding it/getting through? I sense chaos ahead! 
Is it really possible to get stuck out there? I think it's awesome if you could potentialy get stuck somewhere off map if you don't go well enough equiped, however imaging the wines that these forums will see.
This looks like epic win CCP, please don't screw it up!
We whine all the time anyway. The wine from people getting stuck would be epic fun. Much better than nanonerf tears or latest missile buff tears from mission runners that can't adopt.
It would be worth it just for the tears  |

are there only wormholes such as: [wormhole-sys] <--> [normal-space]
or are there [wormhole-sys] <--> [wormhole-sys] connections too ?

... the idea of using a carrier or a mothership to live out of in DEEP wormhole space would be very interesting.
This!
From what I can tell both. So you can get to great space even from Jita but it might demand finding few more WHs and going through systems with less than pleasant peeps in them.

Ok, after reading all the posts to-date there is still one outstanding question that I have.
If this is caused by some random unknown energy event is there the chance that our jump gates could be effected there by having them randomly either send you to a wormhole system or a different system within empire then where you expected to go? These gates after all do create a kind of wormhole for travel who's to say that they cant cross streams with an active wormhole and send a lot of unintended traffic into wormhole space?
Just something to kick around.
Whole idea with the gates is that they create controlled WHs. Wouldn't fit really to have them jump around plus it would put a huge damp on travel and trade. Logistics are bad enough without there being a random chance of you ending up somewhere in hell. |

And perhaps I wasn't clear enought above, but I'll get it off my chest. The psychology is: this....or that space is dangerous, join our corps and we will protect you and show you the ropes, meanwhile we own you: you mine this or that, do this or that, anything beyond what we say, which is only for your benefit, is just not being a "team player."
If I want to be "owned" I think I'd rather "own" myself, which is not the direction you are taking this game into. Independence seems to be a concept lacking in your conceptualizing.
Might I suggest playing X3 or something than? EVE is multiplayer thingie. You can do a lot alone but expecting that you should be able to do everything in the game alone is a bit over the top. Cooperation is what's it all about. And I doubt that most corporations are slave driving structures.
