Thera

Wait. "Atlantis"? Ahaha.

Really, CCP? I am going to laugh, well more than I am, if we find out the system 'sank' into W-space. (Which would be a way to explain why it's the way it is.)

Thera is to be populated by NPC stations, we just don't know who. Considering the arrival of the pirate faction data and relic sites in wh space, I wouldn't be surprised if Thera had a station for each of the the pirate factions.

I think it'd more likely be one faction. I can't particularly see the Sansha the Angels, the Blood Raiders, and the Guristas all founding a system and singing kumbaya.

For what it's worth, the Chaos dump currently says they're SOE stations.

TIL people will continue to whine even after they mostly get what they want.

Would love to see it be some version of the Thukkers or a sub-factional corporate interest, but yeah I think it'll be SOE or SOE +/- allies of SOE.

Or, creation of a Jovian body, in order that The Other, can escape sleeperspace, enter realspace into the body, and begin it's war on the cluster.

It sure is neat, being vindicated. :S

The Other doesn't seem like a Falcon thing. It's more of a TonyG thing. vOv

Needs more enhuehuehueduanni.

Rhavas on Intersteller Privateer has written an interesting article on this whole thing.

The latest devblog says it's SoE.

I honestly don't see how Thera isn't going to get mega camped by a major W-Space alliance. They're taking all these provisions to counter that and all I'm reading is 'put more people there'. The system may not have much way in profitability at a glance but I am curious at the number of connections.

I don't, strangely. It might get camped eventually, but I don't think it'll be a w-space alliance that takes control. I just don't see what profit it would be for them, I mean sure they get a lot of WHs to raid (and keep an eye on) but you can't keep capitals there so you effectively can't capital escalate sites without a secondary HQ in a real WH system and if you need that, why bother trying to defend a system where you can't bubble scanned exits or the stations that there.

I think the effort to try and control Thera might undo a lot of corp/alliances that want to do it. We might find the situation where rather than a whole system, we'll have four corp/alliances staking their claim on the stations that are inside.

I'm interesting to see what comes of Thera, it is certainly a feature CCP are adding that has me genuinely curious about how it plays out and making me decide if I want to be apart of it.

Two of the stations are 500km from each other, ~240au from the other two. The other two are 140au apart. Controlling the first two might be doable, the others as well? Not so much.

[DeadRow]

Does seems a little weird people two so close, but otherwise yeah. So a group might keep two reasonably under their thumb and rivals can just go to the other side of the system.
