Is basically the old battle zone, with Undine...Ya think everyone and their mother saw that coming when they heard the announcement of a "new" battle zone. So even though the Undine were mainly after the Solanae Sphere they're attacking the other Sphere (And basically easily wiped out the super advanced Dinobots?) Also the "Planet killer" ability wasnt a super large dreadnought type ship it was the bio ability of the undine to link the power of multiple ships.
I could totally live with a fight at the new Solanae sphere trying to stop the undine from making their way to the Jenovan Sphere...And having to be forced on a battle on two fronts. Would make more sense, as well as cause more tension. Heck you would just basically have to copy and paste the battle zones -.- But this just kinda seems like a easy way out for a expansion. "Delete enemy A, insert enemy B in same zone...Boom new content" ...Whats next are Undine marks going to be considered awesome new expansion content? :rolleyes: Oh well another thing added to game people will play for a week tops then stop going to.
My question is about the original BZ. If the Undine overwhelmed the Voth in the Voth Zone and ran them out, where are the Voth staging their fleet for the continued war effort in the original BZ and Contested Zone? Logically it doesn't make sense to me. Why not finish the content for season 8 with an actual Voth Zone and put the new season 9 Undine Space BZ in the Jenolan Dyson Sphere where we found them in the FE?

we dont know, it wasnt explained yet, it'll likely be explained sometime in either future blogs, in sgame, or a dev, anyone else saying anything is just pure guesswork at this time.
Hold up, let me get my Knights of the Round materia, some Underwater materia (that should work in space...right?) and my extra, extra, extra long katana. Gonna need that stuff in the Jenovan Sphere.
Joking aside, I played around in the new BZ on Tribble. It's pretty cool. Good for some quick space combat with a side of dil. I think it will be popular for those who prefer space over ground.

We are talking about a Dyson sphere, you know. As in, millions of planets' worth of interior surface area, of which the Voth/Undine Zone and the two playable zones combined make up just a teeny, tiny sliver.
The Voth undoubtedly just moved into a different area of the Sphere after the Undine kicked them out of their original one.

Makes sense. Even so, it still doesn't make me forget that they never finished season 8. Give us the Voth Zone like they originally planned and put the new BZ in the Jenolan Sphere with the objective of keeping them out of the Solanae Sphere. Although I do understand about deadlines and resources for a developer in the real world, story wise it makes more sense to me. Just saying...:)

My guess is that the devs could never come up with good Voth Zone content that wasn't just more of the same stuff they're already giving us in the Contested Zone, so they ditched it and put the Undine there instead. Even the Undine space BZ (from the one time I've played it on Tribble) strikes me as just a variation on the Voth CZ space combat.

Sure, they originally planned to give us that, but if they had deleted the word voth zone from the map and did not speak of it we would be none the wiser.
from my perspective, there was a voth controlled area but we were never in a position to launch an attack on it, now we find the undine have done it for us. i find that just as interesting from a story perspective.
i admit i would have liked to have seen the voth zone just out of curiosity but it does not affect the story. its like a writer changing his book before it hits the shelf. you would be none the wiser. its just the devs like to talk about things in advance.
um.... they never said Voth zone was going to be Season 8, just "a future update" this is most likely the plan they had for the Voth zone all along.
They most certainly did say it was going to be part of season 8. To quote:
Sphere space is divided into three major zones. In the Allied Zone, joint command operations hold sway and the allies conduct scientific and military missions to defend their territory and shut down the spheres dangerous operations. In the Contested Zone, the allies and the Voth battle back and forth for control of several strategically important towers that control parts of the spheres energy distribution network. Occasionally, we're able to set up a beachhead in the Voth Zone. Here, the Voth control the space around the doorway that exits the sphere, and allied ships conduct daring raids to disrupt Voth operations.
In each zone, youll have missions to complete based on the operations that Dyson joint command needs done this could mean fighting Voth ships, shutting down power systems of the sphere, clearing an area of automated defenses, or performing scientific studies.
So this new BZ is not what they had planned all along... I am willing to accept the the "daring raids" they mention are the two bits of queued content we got with season 8 (Breach and Storming the Spire), but they also said that the plan was for Sphere space to be divided into 3 zones. Clearly we only got two. Don't TRIBBLE on my head and call it rain.

it should be noted that the zone that this battlezone is in is NOT the contested zone.... it's the voth zone we have not been able to get into yet.
