Let me take a wild guess. The griefers who infest these low-sec shitholes are the same posters on this thread telling me sentry guns are fine, and that sentry guns were never meant to do much beyond tickle gate campers.

As to the second point, that's a damn lie because it has already been stated that CCP nerfed sentry guns to some sort of "ramp up" mechanic.

Quit with the narcissism and hallucinations of grandeur. You don't represent any 'community.'

i could be wrong for sure but if you press "jump" then after your ships comes from warp and stops it will move to gates and jump. And "grid loading timer" will still protect you from anything bad.

It would be great to know if i'm wrong here before i get some tasty lossmail

There isn't enough risk for stupid griefer pirates camping gates in these low-sec shitholes I have to pass through on occasion. Even small ships can tank the damage - some huge tank isn't required.

Buff the stupid sentry guns. There shouldn't be zero risk and 100% reward for these idiots. It's dumb.

That is all.

I just checked. It was 3 CRUISERS. No other ships involved. No 'anything bigger than a cruiser.' No 'large gate camp.'

3 cruisers can instagank an industrial and get off scott free in a 0.4sec covered in sentry guns. Good job CCP.

Oh, because that's the decision I made, right? To go up against 3 combat ships in a transport?

Begone troll.

However EVE allows for people to deny access to things (is a necessary facet of contention within the playerbase), lowsec makes it easier for people to deny you access to things, and camps are a necessary component of denying people access - ie all world pvp games have natural chokes.

They aren't trying to 'deny access' to anything.

There's no motive or intelligence or logic to it. They just get off on griefing and seeing stuff go 'boom.'

Ban explosions.

Replace the use of alt scouts with a right click option on gates: Check Destination.

This option will allow you to pay the gate owners a fee to get a 250km directional scan from the targeted destination stargate. The fee will depend on the faction standing and your security level and may be rejected if either is too low. Does not work on border gates. Only works in empire high and low sec. In 0.0 alliances with sovereignty can set the fee and access to this option, if they have sovereignty in both systems.

Alright, time to cloak.

LOL. I love it when people ascribe motives or intelligence or strategy to something when in reality it simply doesn't exist.

They aren't trying to 'deny access' to anything. They are sitting at a gate and pushing a button called 'fire' whenever anything jumps through. There's no motive or intelligence or logic to it. They just get off on griefing and seeing stuff go 'boom.'

Now, access may be denied, but that's entirely incidental. My car denied me access to a place earlier today because it failed to start. But it isn't as if the car was purposefully trying to do that as part of some grand strategy.

LMAO.

No they don't, lowsec is supposed to be lowsec, not highsec.

Not really, no. They're meant to be an annoyance GÇö something you don't want against you in a fight, and they do just that.

They remove the use of fast tacklers, drones, and unsupported ships, forcing a bit of co-ordination on the part of the aggressor. Nothing more is really needed, and each of these added requirements also means an additional point of weakness that can be exploited by people trying to get past the camp.

If none of that works, then hey, it's lowsec GÇö if a gate is camped, just blow it up or bypass it. It's not rocket surgery.

Not everyone has the luxury of support. Not everyone has the luxury of a massive corporation or alliance to help them play the game. No, some people have to do everything on their own, by themselves.

More news at 11.

Who said anything about low sec / high sec?

Typical, over-sensationalized statement yet still wrong. The only thing gate guns do is present a slight hindrance for gate campers, nothing more. I've seen plenty of small gang camps with drones deployed as well as solo campers.

Who said anything about low sec / high sec?

Doesn't matter where the Sentry guns are located, they all belong to Empire Factions and as such should be something that's feared, not easily ignored.

As it is right now, gate guns are just a bad joke. They constantly rotate through targets, have low DPs along with limited range.

Drones die horribly to sentries and you can't rely on them to do damage. You still want to use them for decloaking, and if you are willing to pay for exceptionally expensive ammo, then sure GÇö go ahead and waste them. They're still not a camping weapon. .

sentry guns do not target drones any more and have not for quite some time now.

GǪand the reason DMC has seen Gǣplenty of small gate camps with drones deployedGǥ is still not that they're any good for camping (quite the opposite) but because they have far better uses. The very recent change in Retribution does not change this.

You see, I don't particularly believe that he's been in lowsec ever any time recently, so it's all ancient history anyway.

drones are perfectly fine for camping, esp sentry drones.

they suffer dps application issues much like missiles do,
