I'd like to draw your attention to the problem of sentry aggro mechanics for remote repping in lowsec, especially where logistics are concerned.
Look at this example: Let's say I am in a corp which is an FW member and organizes an RR BS gang. Our gang contains at least one member with outlaw security status. We encounter a gang of wartargets and fight them at a gate. The hostiles primary the outlaw, so everybody starts repping him. Although we are only fighting wartargets, everyone who activated an RR module gets a GCC and is shot by gate guns. Ok, that mechanic may not make much sense, but 350 dps shouldn't be too bad for a BS gang, so except for some drones, not much will die from sentry fire.
The situation becomes worse if we have, say, a BC gang supported by a single scimitar. In that case, the scimi will have a GCC in basically every fight, and it will be the only ship with a GCC, so the sentry guns will focus it, forcing it to warp off eventually, leaving the rest of the gang to its fate. If gang mates want to share sentry aggro, they will have to do stupid things like shooting the gate. This is not only absurd, but really really annoying for anyone who has ever tried to be a logistig pilot in a small gang of pirates. Even if you're fighting people that you're allowed to shoot at, the logistic ship will get a GCC...
So my proposal is: Remote Repping (or any other kind of remote support) outlaws should not cause a GCC on the repper. However, if he reps someone who has a GCC, he will still get one.
Please discuss!

If you don't read. and try to look cool. You are still ******ed. People point and laugh.
You should earn GCC from remote repping OTHER people who ALSO have GCC. but plain outlaws? no.
edit: my IQ was lowered by the above post and i forgot to click support

It's not fair but it's a good reason. Don't help a KOS.
