Greetings

The idea as you put it intrigues me. As you say balance is the key. Maybe a system wide broadcast that an incoming trans-system warp is inbound ( or a module or SOV upgrade whatever) , giving probers a chance at finding the possible ingress point, via disturbed gravity well or insert flashy sifi words here.

Purely from a game-design perspective, I think this could work. For the sake of lore in the Eve universe, I'm unsure how "science" could explain an increase of speed to 200 AU/second.

The problem with this idea is that it completely removes the choke points that stargates provide.

Right, that was a concern when I was thinking of this. Thus the idea of having a probe-able site to scan out. Perhaps limiting it to the same paths that star gates could assist in the preservation of gate camps, as long as the other side has the ability to scan out potential incoming targets.

I like the idea of giving a POS module the ability to detect Gravimetric Disturbances. That would give the probers the a nice warning that they should start doing their jobs.

Nice idea, OP.

This is an awful idea. It's a terrible kludge that solves no current problem. There are plenty of ways to get through or around a gatecamp.

I guess it's easier to push a button and go make a pot of tea than have to think your way out of a blockade, though.

You are correct in that it isn't actually solving a 'problem', there isn't a problem I'm addressing. This is a focusing on improving and adding content relative to the game that can add to the player experience.

Can you explain in concrete gameplay terms what this adds to the game? I see nothing here beyond "another way to get around a camped gate", and there are a dozen or so ways to do that already (which is already more than we need).

What is the range of this?

Does it only duplicate travel where gates connect? (Obviously bypassing the gate)

Does it have a jump range? (This system is closer than many gate connected ones, so you could reach it)

Let's say you are apart of a gate camp. You and your fleet members are enjoying their time hanging around and getting any unsuspecting pilots who can easily fall into a trap. This is the nature of gate camps, there is no chance for that lone pilot.
This should also be preserved, because gates and jump bridges would still be a primary method of travel between the systems of Eve.

The two methods of travel currently (Technically Three):

Star Gates - Instant System to System node transfers available to all players for free, but subject to gate camps and must be connecting systems.

Jumping - Instant System to System node transfers available to trained pilots, reliable on Cyno Generators and an additional pilot. This allows pilots the luxury of skipping systems and a reduced number of jumps. Only available for use in 0.0 - 0.4 Space.

Jump Bridges - Corp owned, requires resources and maintenance. Also allows pilots the luxury of skipping systems and a reduced number of jumps. Only available for use in systems less than 0.1 Space.

The concern is how this will affect gate camps. One could think that everyone would rather long warp instead of using a gate, effectively destroying the usefulness of a gate camp. I have spent a lot of time thinking how this can co-exist because I personally enjoy partaking in gate camps.

I was thinking this new method of travel would appeal to as a method of faster travel in high-sec. And a balance would be in place that there would be a risk in using this long-warp in low-sec / null-sec... That risk is pilots can easily detect your movements via some sort of scanning (passive or active) as to deter long-warps around blockades, thus preserving the need to get around gate-camps the traditional way. If you want to long-warp around a blockade, you're essentially hanging up your "HEY HERE I AM" sign. This can prove useful too for players in null-sec in traveling around, but being the nature of a high-profile travel will make a pilot think twice if they should.

It's a mechanic that adds to the risky game play of Eve that I think could be beneficial.
