We have just received news from CONCORD that a new gateis under construction and will be opened to the Catch region. As far as I know, barring the opening of the drone regions and the Yulai remap, this is the first time a new gate has been opened in New Eden. An action that in no doubt should happen more often. How do you feel about this? Any opinions?
They are adding a new gate model in the Old Man’s Star system. It’s not outside the realm of possibilities that CCP devs would add a gate to Stain here as well in OMS…no promises that the gate actually functions.
If something like this will actually be done, may I suggest to use the Upwell gate models for new connections? They look so cool, and would be nice to actually use them sometimes.
I have probably put more thought into this than anyone should, but the ad is still in the launcher, so here we go.
Stain seem to have two good looking places to connect low-sec with: G-ME2K (-0.3) that is currently a dead end, and a small group of F7-ICZ (-0.3), T-NNJZ (-0.3) and NRT4-U (-0.3). Both locations are choke points, that gankers could easily take advantage of.
As for the other end, there is Tash-Murkon: Saminer (0.3), Domain: Misaba (0.1) also connected to Providence, and Khanid: Moro (0.5), or if low-sec is necessary Efa (0.4) that is connected to Querious.
And in the middle of this group of systems, there is also Catch: 4-07MU (-1.0) that could also be used as a direct connection to Stain and/or low-sec.
