I notice some jump gates, especially Amarr ones, are covered in thousand of tiny windows. Who lives there? Do they need thousands of engineers to maintain them? |

Those stargates were made in ancient times, and people used to live and work there. Now that knowledge is lost to us, which is why alliances can't build new stargates wherever they want. The stargates are creepy and abandoned with corpses inside.
There, brand new backstory for ya. Have at it.

If there's one thing I've learnt from eve's ship design, it's that a glowing light doesn't necessarily equal a window. They probably are manned though, otherwise it should say "traffic computer" rather than "traffic control" when you're queued for jump. |

according to the books, there's about a dozen people working there in ships just to keep everything running. most of the time, they do nothing. but incase something big goes wrong, they have an entire team to work on it rather than just one or 2 people. everything related to function is done by computers. |

If I recall correctly, the technicians aboard most Stargates have very little to do in the operation of the actual gate. What they are there to do however is maintain what are known as "Fluid-Routers". These are part of a communications network built in to all Stargates, everywhere.
The Routers play a very important role in EVE, sending and receiving everything from your everyday multi system business vidcall, right up to its most important function; Transferring the mind-state of a pod pilot at the moment of death, all the way through the Stargate network back to the medbay where our new clones wait.
Just a little "proper" story for you. My views are my own, not those of my Corp. or my Alliance. |

Read Old Man Star Its a good read and shows these jump gates, lore wise, could be built with few individuals and a small army of drones. Why they have so many lights and windows was perhaps a art gaff. Just like how they last reskinned the Drake to have fewer windows. Perhaps with stations and gates get v3ed the window situation will change. |

Yeah, would have to use your mental state from the last non wormhole system you were in...
Edit: Or would the system even know you died and that it needs to reclone you? "The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems." |

I think Eve needs a zombie apocalypse. Kinda like Incursion but not as centralized and theme-parkish. Random "Ghost Ships" crewed by undead floating through the deep reaches of space.
Not as ridiculously rare as Officers.

at least some stargates are manned, you can see this if you look up ingame, the description for Deklein region.
Others might not be manned, like the smuggler stargates, or the ones in missions. |

Yes, they do. There is lore in a region description somwhere of stargate technicians being trained in a specific 0.0 region by families who have run them for generations.
edit: synthetic cultist got it before I did. I was busy looking for it.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Deklein
Quote:Like a skeletal finger pointing out toward the void, Deklein is a narrow band of stars loosely connected by some of the most ancient gates outside of empire space. The region is so remote, that some of the gates remain the ones found in the original explorations. While in most regions gate crews swap out every five years or so, in Deklein some of these ancient gates have been run by the same family for hundreds of years.
These families have intricate knowledge of their stargates and the network their connected too, it was once the practice that aspiring gatemen would travel to Deklein to do their year and come back GĒ£Deklein trainedGĒ„ GĒō an title of some honor which would almost guarantee them a chief gate operator positionGĒŖ of course, some would never return.
With the advent of heavy Gurista presence in the area this practice ceased, although the families still exist, keeping the gate network running and passing on their extensive knowledge to any gate operator crazy enough to run the gauntlet of dangers to reach them.
