Isn't Charles Darwin dead? Wouldn't EVE be the one rewarding people who play smart and adapt to challenges that their environments place on them.
Also, the proposed Gate Gun mechanics are silly. They simply encourage more blobbing, and make even Freighters safe if the camp isn't big enough.
LS is not HS. We don't need Illegal LS PvP to be determined by the same kind of DPS race against the clock that Suicide ganks are.

And a Dram can do the DPS needed to knock the balance over to the Gate guns killing the Carriers.

Absolutely, but unless the DPS on each ship resets each time it warps off (which makes little sense to me), the DPS would quickly ramp up to the point where (even if it leveled off at Triage Carrier-killing), the Archons would get killed through the RR (unless the guns still cycle targets, which also doesn't make sense given Soundwave(I think)'s wish that a Carrier that triages after starting to get gate gun damage get deadified by said Gate gun damage).
What also makes little sense is why CCP wants to discourage people Triaging on gates, something that normally leads to spectacular fight reports.
Anyway, if the DPS does reset (resulting in an odd bucket line of Carriers warping in, joining the spider, and warping out as the DPS escalates towards breaking what's left of the spider after keeping the HIC alive), or the DPS does cycle (fast enough that you can keep each other alive), then nothing will change except the minimum size of the ships involved (sentry carriers can be aligned if you're willing to warp back and forth from field to POS to stay in range).
The specific ways this would be bad for everyone in LS are, as always, in the details.

Not fair...interesting how the talk goes from bravado to no fair just like that.
We already did come up with how to deal with the Gate guns. It turns gate camping from something you can bust (camping with a couple of BCs) to something that's pretty hard to bust (Sentry Carriers at Range).
Took until post 16 for someone to come up with the Adaptation.
The change is a bad one for the residents of LS. All residents.
