The best question would be why does anyone care if there are sentries in lowsec or not.
Given that even with poor skills a trio of Battlecruisers can tank the sentries indefinitely and with a combination of sensor-boosters and remote-sensor-boosters you can catch anything larger than a frigate (and even some frigates get caught)...who cares about the sentries?
Hell you can tank them in a cruiser long enough to pop a soft target.
In summation: meh, who cares. |

The last couple days it's been a non-stop "CCP nerf this please!!" fest. I like this game because it's so darn complex. Some of you would turn it into an FPS if you had your way. And how the heck do sentry guns ruin eve anyway? If you were playing Star Trek online it's like asking them to remove the Romulan Neutral zone. It's part of the game man!
Man, dont make a stupid post like that, ive been in this game longer then u hense i know more then u. I don't need u to make a sarcastic unconstructive post in my forum post. I see that your character is late 2004, ive been in this game since beta 5 and haven't canceled my account yet. I pay for the game, I have a right to post my opinion. If you don't have anything constructive to say, dont say anything at all. The game is the way it is because of testing and players opinions, suggestions, ect... I want a change and im going to push for it due to recent and even more "buffs" to safe travel.
It is fun to se a ! doing "ad hominem" attack saying it is older than Adam.
If you are so old and expert, why you fear to give more weight to what your opinionusing your face (that of the "expert" character you affirm to be)?
The general impression is that you are a noob pirate crying whitout any idea on balance.
If you wanna meet me in aurohunen, we can duke it out 1 on 1 and see how my expertise really is..
"You shall fear me". Again a logic and stringent argument. You position gain momentum, like an avalnke going downhill.

Incorrect SIR. Cruiser can not tank long enough to kila target and pick up its loot. Hell, a Assault frigate, with 60% being its lowest resist, with 4k shields could only tank the sentries for 35 seconds be3fore itexploded and that was not including the billboard damage.

Given the number of industrial ships I have destroyed in a cruiser over the last year and a half of pirating right under the nose of sentries, whose loot I proceeded to pick-up before warping out, I would have to say you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Actually it can be done in a Cruiser with a great tank, but the target has to be very soft. And it helps a lot to have an alt picking up the loot. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Tulayia has a point, a few points. Even though an adequatly tanked ship can tank sentries its does seem compeltley rediculous to make them indestructable, at least make them killable but respawn or something.

Sentries are perfect just as they are.
They give the illusion of safety, but pose no problem for anyone with even a moderate amount of ability.
Removing sentries would give pirates no advantage except the ability to use small ships around a gate.Given that this simply isn't an advantage (remote sensor booster ftw) there is no reason for any pirate to argue for this unless they have a total lack of ability.
After a week of this 'illusion of safety' being removed there will be a significant reduction in lowsec traffic.Its human nature.
To put it bluntly, I don't want the ineptitude of others causing a change that will remove my prey

Exactly. Anybody who thinks removing sentries from losec would be good for pirates is being foolish. It would simply make losec more of a wasteland than it already is.
If you want to help noobie pirates, lobby for losec belts to get made worthwhile. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Or give lowsec belts a unique resource.

Its not going to stop them anyhow, the traffic isn't going to lower. There is nothing in low sec but ****ty ore that people don't mine and agent runners that are in deadspace. There was a time that there were no sentries and I always had plenty of prey.
You have many many ways of avoiding becoming that prey especially since last patches, thats why I call for the removal or change to sentries to be destructable. Theres no damn excuse you can make to prove that its OK and balanced for sentries to be unkillable...

Originally by: murder one I gotta say, gate guns keep low sec from becoming 0.0.
0.0 combat style is completely different than low sec just due to gate guns. Otherwise you'd have the same small high speed ships prevelant in 0.0 in low sec.
Gate guns need to stay.
you made sense... world must end.....

Sentry guns simply keep solo players from using small (cruisers, inties, AFs etc.) ships at the gates. Which is fine.
Sure, a few low skilled BC pilots can get the gate guns to switch often enough to tank them 100%. Heck, I can tank them 100% in my passive Drake with no problem. Even with *plenty* of tackling gear fit. Point is, gate guns make for a very specialized combat environment if you're the one agressing.
It needs special consideration and a very unique set of skills and preperation if you're going to fight in that environment.
I've seen statements tossed about asking what the difference is between low sec and 0.0. Well, what if more 0.0 was brought to low sec? How about high grade ores moved into low sec belts? Better rats in low sec belts?
Maybe that's the answer to increasing low sec populations, not removing gate guns.
BTW, I'm a pirate. It's all I do. I have a love/hate relationship with gate guns. I like that they're there. I hate that they're usually shooting me 99% of the time lol.

Who the heck else exactly other than a gate ganker in low sec would even give a rats butt about gate sentries, you cant find people in belts, scan out mission runners, learn to play and get away from the silly gate and grow up.
better yet move to 0.0 and no guns you can gate camp all day.
only thing that removing sentries would do if make low sec into no sec make sure no silly hauler or careless carebear looking for a shortcut would even think about setting a foot in .4 and under make all the major travel routes into empire and back had warp interdiction bubbles and gangs hanging out all day every day looking for people silly enough to try to get through.
so end result as much as the low sec kiddy not ready for prime time pirate wannabees cry they cant find any targets it would get 100x slimmer pickings. oh listen to em cry then.

More necessary than ever.
Every gate in empire should have 50 maximum strength guns. Every station too.

I also guess its fair even a solo Carrier can't even camp a gate properly in .4 because sentries wtf pwn those 15m each Fighter drones and don't even say "O remote rep them" Yea right, you need a cap rep + you gota relock the drones every 45 seconds and usually the sentries attack 2 - 3 (if you inlude the board) at the same time.
