Fist I'll start by saying that I'm not a fan of the new sentry guns change. I think the actual implementation of them could have been handled a bit more tactfully, but now that there up, the question remains "Where do we go from here?"
The way I see it you can either put it back to the way things were or create reasons for traders to wander out into non empire space other than for minerals.
I think they should put it back the way it was at least temporarily, until they can work out all the mechanics to how the economy will operate with pirates basically banished to Non Empire space.
Maarek hit the nail on head on an earlier post. The real solution was very simple. If you don't want gate campers then it is up to the players to solve the problem.
People could have hired out to Merc corps to wage a war on pirate corps, or hired escorts to protect ships, but they didn't or if they did, they didn't do it very often.
Who we really need to hear from is CCP. I think we're all entitled to hear from them, what they see as the future for pirating.
I don't believe they wanted to alienate pirates or low sec players in general, but that seems to be what is happening.

The sentry gun don't just effect noob hunters. I swear you see more new players getting themselves killed by hitting the wrong button than pirates ever did.
It's been awhile since I turned off this message, but you used to get a display message saying that "Concord won't help you" when you entered .4 sec space I believe. This should be plenty of warning for new players.
Not to sound like I'm starting a Maarek fan club but I believe what he proposed to make the most sense. This would provide a way to have more content introduced through factions as well.

Yes, if you attack someone near a gate or station then the guns fire. Even in .4 sec space. In .5 and above they do it automacticly.

Yes, even other corporations. I believe Molly has had experience with this.

*taps the keg*
Have a drink and relax guys. This thread started out very nice but has taken a bit of a denture into poo poo land.
But you both get 10pts for tenacity.
