This is a bad change:
1. Circumventing citadel bubbles is incredibly trivial. For any roaming gang all they need is a ceptor to scout ahead (something most fleets already do) or a ping on the gate. 2. The citadel bubbles literally give a forewarning since they are announced system wide. If one is on your out-gate, you should probably consider warping to a ping or come from a random direction. This is unlike normal bubble camps which you won't know until you are in dscan range, something not all gates offer. 3. The citadels must be manned, if noone is in local you are probably safe to warp anywhere.
This is catering to roaming gangs who want easy access to hostile space. I use citadels this way as well, but I also encounter them when roaming into e.g. Horde space where there many citadels on their gates. I don't complain when people have the homefield advantage, only if they use something OP. Drag-bubble citadels that can be countered by any ceptor or gate ping are not OP, they simply catch those with no foresight in checking their out gate before pressing warp in nullsec. |

But hey, gotta cater to the least capable because this is a thing nowadays.
Exactly, my point. If you don't do the minimum effort to secure yourself in nullsec - then why should you live? As of 3 minutes ago this interceptor burned a ping on the gate for his Viator alt/friend to circumvent the bubble: http://i.imgur.com/qpjUM8E.png It's really that easy. |
