Reading the CSM notes, it seems that once again pirates take one from ccp up the jacksy

"CCP Greyscale moves on to explain his work on sentry guns. Sentry guns will now shoot anyone with a criminal flag, suspect or otherwise. Sentry guns will also start with smaller amounts of damage, and ramp up with time. Ideal tuning will be to where triage carriers will die at around 4 1/2 minutes. This way, if you want to use triage carriers in lowsec on gates you can, but you must commit to the cycle for a length of time before starting your reps, if you want to deactivate triage before the sentry guns kill you and jump out. CCP Greyscale also points out that another goal is to make it so that the first couple of hits won't kill an interceptor immediately, enabling a quick tackle, and then a warp out."

So there goes low sec gate camping... so if your a pirate i would suggest start looking for a new career mode..Whilst every pirate accepts that gate guns are way of life, making so you can't tank them means making low-sec a future carebear haven.!.


We need more clarification in that does the "ramp up damage" reset after the guns recycle or does it just stay at the level that you last got.. If it resets then gate camps wont be majorly effected just solo hunters.

Given it would take 4.5mins to pop a triage carier then what sort of DPS will be put out...

Just to say be prepared to see lots of big ships killed by lil frigates/interceptors on gates lol :)

Another classic case of someone failing to see the big picture.

Ask yourself, what is the purpose of this change? Really think about it. Put that grey matter to use.

If you think the change is to encourage players to venture into lowsec, than you'd be correct. Lowsec pirates have been complaining for quite a while now that lowsec is empty. Nobody wants to go there anymore. The risk vs reward ratio is heavily tipped towards risk with feeble rewards.

Now low and behold CCP is changing gate guns in an attempt to discourage 24/7 perma-camps and to encourage highsec dwellers to venture beyond Concords protection.

So what does this really mean for lowsec pirates? It means there will be more targets to shoot at but you'll have to work for them.

So will we be finally able to enter rancer?

it is all too clear why the s that think this change will lower the entry barrier are posting on faceless alts. Its like you dont even understand the mechanics that are getting you caught

I'm a main and I support the idea that such a change will help low-sec become more vibrant.

Gate camping is a cowardly way to pvp and has ruined low sec.

People who obviously know nothing about lowsec should keep their comments to themselves. I fly through it all the time, and it's typically a handful of entrance systems that are ever camped at all.

It's not gatecamping that has killed lowsec. Most systems aren't camped at all. It's the complete neglect by CCP to give nearly any incentive to go to lowsec except for sec status ruining pvp or the occasionally decent DED site.

lol, having played the game since it launched (with breaks of course) I have spent alot of time in low sec so I will feel free to say whatever the heck I like. Perhaps you are one of those brave gate campers?

They can't say how it destroys society nor provide any tangible facts, they just rage and continue to make wild claims.

I do think Copine makes some valid points here.

Apart from a few fights on POS's coming out of RF, all the good fights (normally escalations) I've been in has been on gates or stations. If one looks at the low sec PVP vids most of the fighting takes place on gates/stations too.

The suggested power increase of sentries seems like an ill thought through idea, especially for small scale/solo guys who seem to get a harder time finding targets and lure ring them of to planets/moons.

I can see why it makes sense to have some kind of counter towards dropping caps left and right, but this seems like a bad plan.

stuff

You brought this on yourselves.

If you pirate types actually did other things that didnt include reserving yourselves a parking space on gates waiting for easy targets coming fom highsec, this wouldnt be happening.

You assdicks killed lowsec all on your own with your cheap ass camps, so go cry somewhere else you bottom feeders.

Future carebear haven? You guys have such limited imagination lol.

Tell you what, I'll keep listening and you keep whining and crying. I <3 pirate tears

Confirming that gatecamps killed whole area's in eve like 0.0 or wh's . Nobody is there because of all the camps!!1111^^^12dr+¦lf

Lowsec isn't dead because of gatecamps. Its dead because there is nothing to get there.

lol no kidding, pirate tears rock don't they. But I really don't get the upset, so people can pass through gates again, why is that the end of the world? More peeps in LS means more opportunity to jump them.
