I doubt that will happen. EVE is a continuous open universe where each player online has the ability to connect with every other player online. CCP hasn’t shown signs of wanting to break this continuity.
53 systems?
For what purpose?

What I’m most concerned about is that, assuming the new systems are split between the four empires, they’ll naturally have exit points into each empire. Which means these systems are going to become the new Jita-Amarr highway. Kybernauts put a lot of effort into taking Niarja, I’d hate to see that nullified. CCP need to be really careful to make sure these new systems won’t be exploited as a safe shortcut.

There’s really no guarantee you’ll be able to go into the region from the outside, and even if we assume you can, this is trivially solved in any of a million different ways.
Personally, I think they should all dump you out at the sun in Amamake.
Only if they allow older players / advanced ships to even enter those systems. If they restrict access or make those connections even “one way” (aka: “once you leave the starter area, you can’t come back”), then for trade or travel absolutely nothing will change.
I personally would expect some lore / storyline NPE, like another newbie arc and carreer missions in those systems. Not sure that would need 50+ of them, but who knows what they have planned… Sister’s Arc alone sends you to quite a lot of systems and maybe they have something similar planned for that region.
This is a misconception as the current starter systems where that undocking would occur are already protected from ganking. So i wonder why you would spread that false information?
You are right that ganking will occur at some point, maybe directly at the borders of the new region, depending on how CCP implements it and at which level non-new players will possibly want to express their not liking of such an area.

Personally I can understand several systems for a new version of the NPE, assuming it gets a complete overhaul. But 53 is a tad silly.
It divides evenly by 4, maybe they are trying to make a mini faction warfare system.
Definitely has a shape to it when you plot the 2D x/y coords
Edit: Someone else did a much cleaner job of it than I, who just shoved the list of coordinates into matplotlib

CCP keeps yapping about how player interaction is the core of EVE gameplay, yet now they seclude new players from that interaction and give them a completely different experience at the start from what they get after their “graduation”. That’s going to work so well for new player retention.

Well the new region is appropriately named, in any case. I remember reading some time ago that some players were suggesting the NPE ought to give the option to spit the rookies out directly into FW. Maybe this is a step in that direction (further speculation, of course).
you should probably wait for CCP to actually make the content before you complain about how it works

Most interaction is done via talking, either via Voice or text…they aren’t going to limit chat. They actually had a similar situation in EVE Frontiers (all systems were null) where they had a starter area that you had to make a one way key to get out of, I actually rather liked it.

Who knows if this update really helps new players but one thing is certain and that it how this space can be abused by old players.
Those system names are cringe.

I am glad to get rid of the new players, and welcome their removal.
But who are you going to gank now?
1 Like
Seriously? Players who have been playing for 20 years still don’t know how to minimize getting ganked in high sec or how to make forum threads about the consequences so that the whole forum doesn’t get a laugh out of it. She’ll have no shortage of targets. It’s not like true newbs are worth it anyway with their T1-fitted T1 frigates.
