New places to go, new things to see, new people to kill, more loot to be had, but only if you're skilled and lucky. It's all about expanding the frontier of EVE and gaining more riches than ever before in Whisper's new blog: Sic Itur Ad Astra - Building a New Bridge to the Stars!

Some of it actually sounds a little like an idea I had a couple of years ago. Cool stuff
So..these systems exist but have variable entrances? IOW if you establish a base in there other people can find it? Interesting.
Edit:Not entirely my idea but I did contribute:

Sounds awesome :D
One question; will these new systems be located in jump range of existing systems? And if so, is it then possible to cyno in and out of them, bypassing the wormholes? |

I foresee a jump in Amarr pilots due to logistics problem while in the middle of nowhere.
Also, I don't see how a POS will be possible at all for any extended time if wormholes collapse, and POS' need NPC fuel. |

Was just asking myself the same thing, I have a feeling that it wont be the case... but maybe this could be a new role for BlackOps only or something similar. |

A comment I saw in a channel I'm in in-game was if black ops could be useful for navigating wormholes, and generally, it probably won't due to the distance away from New Eden that these systems will be.
However, I had an idea that if there was some kind of long-range scanning ability to lock onto the cosmic signature of stars, you could locate and lock down coordinates to another of these non-New-Eden systems to create a jump portal with a black ops. That way, the players can begin to map which systems are nearby to other systems. True exploration! |

Great news, now are those new NPCs one of the old races that vanished without reason like the Yan Jung or some either unknown or lesser known race, perhaps even dare I say it Alien. |

Sounds great.
I assume this will be dealt with in another blog but I'm assuming that these areas will be akin to 0.0?
If so will ships passing through the wormhole spawn randomly in the wormhole system or are we looking at a situation where it's the first to set up a sort of gate camp controls who enters the system?

yes cool. looking forward to see greyscales devblog on mechanics.
but quick question. can capital ships go true it? how will they show up on the map? and offcourse the cyno. is that reachable/possible?

Edited by: Noggin TheNog on 26/01/2009 13:21:08 Edit - someone else beat me to it. Sorry for repeating the question.
Once you reach wormhole space, can you light a cyno there?
Will it be within jumping distance of "regular" space, or will it be one giant capital-free zone?
cheers :)

Are these 0.0/High-sec/Low-sec ?
If any in High-sec will they still have Concord or be like 0.0 in the middle of High-sec ?

Umm will there be a difference in the quality of the wormholes ? If you can find the same materials in the wormholes in highsec as in low sec it will be gamebreaking... Why live in 0.0 if you can reap the same amount of awards just next to jita ?

but the systems in these wormholes will be 0.0 space.
and be dangerous, so 0.0 will be easy street for grinding NPC, wormholes will most likely require a lot of group effort.
plus you can moon mine in 0.0 space, and build outposts and such.

No. Wormholes allow you to reach wormhole space. Anything other means will be considered defective and then an exploit.
Originally by: Kamikazi ONE Are these 0.0/High-sec/Low-sec ?
They're all treated as nullsec. Even the ones you enter from empire. There was a big discussion on this during the initial sprint but the team was quite adamant on the whole 'exploration' feeling vanishing if CONCORD was going to enforce any of it's rules out there. On the personal side I feel that it's a good way to point out that non-empire isn't inherently evil and deadly. It's the inhabitants that are.

Yes. Highsec -> Wormhole space will generally not be as lucrative as nullsec -> Wormhole space. It will however not be as OMFGWTFBBQ*podGoesPop* like either. But wormholes are fickle and unstable beings so you're never 100% certain whether your destination will contain happy hello kitties and unicorns or T+TALHELLDEATH!
P.S. There will be some middleground between happy hello kitties and unicorns and T+TALHELLDEATH!.

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.

question
Do you need probes to find the exit wormhole?
I can imagine a group of people, leaving one behind without probes to be infinitely stuck in that worm hole space with no hope of return.
And what happened to random system entrance points?? ____

So what you are say is that people can get stuck in the wormholes.... will you be able to petition it ?
How much mass can go through a "standard" wormhole before it implodes ? And when will these features be on sisi for testing ?

Well, you wont know where you will exit.
And I guess the actual system will be 0.0
So basically you will have a wormhole in jita that takes you into the system, but the exit wormhole lands you in the middle of deklein maybe.

Will cap ships (like freighters and jump freighters) be able to get into the worm hole. If so, will the jump frieghters be able to jump OUT of the pocket of space if they are in range of a system to jump too.
Also, I'm interested in how the worm hole works from the pocket side of space.
If you're in the system and the wore hole collapses from the normal space side. Does the location close from the unexplored side too.
For instance, I could I say park a alt in a system, when a worm hole collapses from the empire/low-sec/0.0 side. I log him in, go to the worn hole on the otherside and then see where i come out in conventional space. Or would I have to scan the worm whole out in the other system too? Maarud.

lol
If I found a gatecamp I would get a ton of people into whateber ships we could find, jump through to close the wormhole on purpose, and then kill their probe ship. Thus claiming the whole fleet as MIA.

"hey you guys" I a found a wormhole that leads right to jiota, if we camp the outside part in our 0.0 system we can just harvest noobs for free!
