Hell, imo, bubbles in general are a mistake. Risk>>>>>Reward Can you imagine if the Empire had used bubbles agains the Millenium Falcon? Very short movie.
If you read the Star Wars novels, the Empire had bubbles and used them quite often on main characters. Led to many entertaining moments.

So CCP will be unveiling that as the new slogan for Eve at fanfest?

ACESsiggy wrote:Seems interesting. However I'm sure those static entrances to this location will be camped unless they remove the gate on the other side allowing players to randomly populate within Therra. Also just like Jita there's usually one station that primarily deals with trading so adding 20+ extra stations within Therra wouldn't help unless the items are accessible at any station?
Just checking on Eve Scout, it looks like there are currently 25 connections into Thera. The few days I was there, the only connections that were reliably camped were high sec entrances, especially if it was near a trade hub. Null sec entrances were maybe camped if it led to active space. Lowsec and j-space connections were generally ignored. It's been awhile since I've been there (need to go back), but I can't imagine that behavior has changed much.
Can't speak on the market. It was in it's infancy when I was there. I seem to remember there being things for sale in all four stations though.

Actually I just joined a Thera based corp and will probably be in and out of there more frequently than anywhere else for the foreseeable future. I probably should start calling it home.

Was going to ask how that happened

So after about a week, Thera is certainly the most interesting place I've lived so far. And as much as everyone swears the market is barren, it's surprisingly easy to get what you need, either in system or through one of the connections. And yes, there's always a fight going somewhere, but it's by no means a guaranteed death trap.

Lost my ship last night because I made a mistake (oddly enough, not in Thera).
Confirming I was unable to replace my ship, plus all fittings, because the Thera market is completely barren. Then I was completely unsuccessful at undocking and getting to a safe point because the station was ultracamped. I then could not make my way through one of the connections because that connection was also stupidcamped and I couldn't bother to check one of the other connections.
It really isn't that bad.

The biggest blob enforces their will. And we all know who that is. I, like most players, have no interest in Thera because I know that most of the entrances and certainly the stations will be deathtraps, and any attempt to fight the campers will just result in being escalated beyond my ability to match.
Want trade in Thera? Trade requires security. Higher level economic activity is not possible in a lawless environment.
This post made me a little mad. Yup, I'l admit it, some nerd rage here. CCP Gave us some content- really cool, new content to be exact. The players are already interacting with it in different and interesting ways, and yet here is someone who flat out refuses to even consider investigating it. Why? "I'lll die!" Good heavens! I may be one known for simply throwing ships away, but come on. Use a rookie ship! You'd see immediately almost all the wormholes to and from Thera are not camped. Another 15 minutes of warping around, you would see only Paleo and Obs are camped with any regularity... Which of course they are they are A: The same grid, B: the top station. Furthermore the usefulness of Thera is not the stations, it's the bajillion WH connnecting all of EVE to all of EVE. In an era where jump drives are nerfed to the floor, Thera still offers a very easy (albeit a little less safe) way to get your stuff from Null to high, or whatever it is you need to do. Groups like EVE Scout and Furtherance. even exist to help you do it. Stop assuming the world is dark and scary, go engage it in cheap, cheap ships.
Dude, c'mon. You didn't see the fleet of 1000 Goon ishtars rolling around curbstomping everything in Thera last night? We're totally at the mercy of gigantic blobs. Hell, I'm being blobbed right now and I'm not even logged in.

We're referencing Atlas Shrugged now?
Someone poke me when we start comparing the Keynes-Hayek comparisson to running sleeper sites in Thera.

There's something wrong with the market in Thera?
Oh, and freighters can use the lowsec holes now.

Which ones? The ones that last two minutes or the ones made by the ships that make attractive targets? Both are very easy to work around.

Zappity wrote:All of them. What, there's not enough risk without them? Seriously?
What little risk is in the system would be greatly reduced without them. Besides, it is still a wormhole. It needs SOME bubbles (although not allowing anchorable bubbles is nice, I must admit)
Zappity wrote:Yeah, the market is rubbish.
I must have missed the lowsec change. When did that happen? Not that a freighter through lowsec is particularly attractive from any perspective anyway. It should be opened up to high as well. There is enough risk within Thera that I don't understand why there needs to be added risk outside it as well.
I've found the market to be slow, but haven't had any problems buying or selling. Constantly being close to different trade hubs keeps the market interesting. The lowsec holes allowing freighters is new with Scylla. I could agree with expanding it to highsec holes as well. Fingers crossed. I'll stick to my Prowler though.

Eh, it works for me. I don't operate at a high trade volume and don't care how long something takes to sell.

My mistake. Small number of things for sale.

In that case, well done *clap clap clap*, well done indeed... Protip, if ur so leet and need "GUD FIGHTS" take a little swim into lowsec... or are you scared?
From what I understand, the pvp'ers like the lowsec holes for small gang roams. Fights in the nullsec holes are usually larger affairs, and kills in the wormholes are quick strikes against pve targets with larger fights being extremely rare. And as an explorer, the lowsec holes are where I prefer to roam as I feel more comfortable there than nullsec (I feel most comfortable in other wormholes, of course).
I'm just one little space pacifist though
