Generates a session change, working as intended

Posting in a "waaah why can't I circumvent plex gating requirements by camping the entrance" thread.

Think about jumpgate camps. Do you catch the guys warping TO your gate, or AWAY from your gate?

Giving someone invulnerability while they activate a gate does three things:

1. Forces a fight to be moved to another point still in space (meaningless)
2. Stalls for backup (4-5 seconds to activate a gate is a lot of time)
3. Keeps larger ships out of fights

How is any of this "fair" when the ships are in space? I thought Eve's mantra is you're only safe if you're docked.

Pre-WTZ you caught people everywhere. CCP just seems to keep removing places to fight. It's already difficult enough to find an engagement, why give people in low security space more safe zones?

totally depends of some factors. Once i got pointed and killed by doing this. So i guess it is CCP-style: someone got lucky and someone got not

I know we caught a Manticore on a mission gate once. I know if you warp to zero and try to activate the gate you can get "stuck" on it sometimes. Perhaps you're still vulnerable to being pointed at that stage?

FW plex mechanics are the core of FW as home for solo/small gangs/no-blob gameplay. Is what force people to ship down and to be reasonable in numbers if you want a fight; nobody will give you free and easy kills, you have to fight and get risks too; sorry for that.

Works as intended.

If you spam activate gate at a faction warfare acceleration gate you are invulnerable to targeting.

If this is true then instead of smashing the gate activate button, it should just grant invulnerability by default if you have activated the gate.

But it doesn't, so this is a seemingly unintended problem which should be addressed. It sends conflicting signals, and it also does not fall in-line with Eve gameplay. If faction warfare players want to do plexes that is fine by me. But restricting PVP in one of the open PVP zones of Eve (lowsec) means that the rules are different for some, and not all.

Does this work when you're 30km or even 5km from the gate?

It's when you warp at 10, on many gates (I dont think is FW plex thing) you land at 0 so the session change starts immediatly.

What? If I warp to 10 I'll end up somewhere around 10km from the gate, am I invulnerable while my ship travels to 2.5km from the gate if I spam "Activate"?

That's some ****** music, and is the self-portrait webcam really needed? I guess if you throw a lot of tantrums it could be somewhat exciting...

Also, you're crying over nothing. You don't get your panties in a bunch over a stargate activation or someone docking up, do you?

Put yourself in my shoes.

Out PVPing and suddenly something unexpected happens that ruins your fun. Would that upset you or would you be like, oh well, I'm glad that he got away.

I'd rather not because you have ****** music.

I'd take it in stride because I know that he got off a session change before I could lock him. If he cloaked up on the other side, he outplayed me. I certainly wouldn't come here crying about something that appears to be working as intended.
