Well, I didn't say they were sensible suggestions :P
If it's in the interest of the wider playerbase who access Jita, maybe it's justifiable. Would blobbers even notice an extra 5% tidi?

While having this choise, not beeing able to get targetted?

GǪand that's where your idea goes completely off the rails. The other two options are already there. There is no reason why you should not be a target if you choose to sit around in space.

If you don't want to be a target, don't hang around gates where gankers are prone to look for targets. This holds true universally.

Here is some recommended reading. Pay special attention to the posts from CCP Explorer.

The only solution is for people to stop jumping into and out of Jita.

to be fair, there should be some way to know if jita is full other than having to try the gate.
no other gate is closed, let alone with no indication.

not to mention there should be some kind of queue for the jita gate since having to spam the jump button to get in is ******* ******** in itself.

Whilst the info is useful, I've seen it and for some reason the fact that the system is capped at 2175 with massive numbers of inert people in station who apparently affect the system cap but not the node seems contradictory. But anyway, no-one contradicts CCP eh.

But... it's so obvious, why didn't anyone mention this earlier.

That's a killer read. I just clicked through CCP Explorer's posts. He explains it all fairly well.

OP is right, closed gates are a broken game mechanic.

+1 to making ships invulnerable while they sit in a queue after having clicked the jump button.

gankers can go **** themselves.

Too bad this briliant plan will never go into action, because those gankers you would have **** themselves just happen to include the people who run this game...

It amazes me how many people do not realize that the biggest troll and scammer of eve is CCP themeselves. CCP calls it emergent gameplay, and sitting around on a locked gate facilitates a situation where one invites others to emerge their gameplay upon yours.

Tell me, what is so hard with fitting a tank to your ship and not stuffing billions in the hold?

If I go shopping to my local supermarket on a Saturday lunchtime the place is packed out with people and I can't find a place to park. There are three solutions:

1: Shop elsewhere
2: Don't go there at lunchtime on a Saturday
3: Whine at the supermarket to make the building larger and rebuild the carpark.

Only 2 of those are sensible.

You could use that parking on the other side, just across the road. But that would require effort.

Also, OP got killed in an Anathema worth 800m .

Sans cloak? WTF?

Hey guys,

most of us know, and don't forget, that Jita gets full from time to time. The gates close then sitting alot of big expensive ships with a more expensive load sitting duck.

This makes the Jita gate more dangerous than a lowsec gate to die on, while you should be on the safest part beeing in 1.0 space.

This makes me wonder, shouldn't it be a good idea to make a player invulnerable when he presses the "take gate" button? That way the ships made for surviving null/lowsec can also survive highsec. (if not autopilotted, duh!)

I'm talking about Blockade Runners, Covert Ops, T3's.

What would be really amusing is if a ganker corp were actually big enough to close the gate themselves by having a few hundred players jump to Jita based jump clones.

- scouts reveal big ISK blinged up ship or freighter approaches Jita
- 200 people jump clone in and close gate
- 'nado away
- profit


Needless to say any bluesec alliance could close Jita anytime they wanted just by having enough alts base jump clones there :D

It's an awesome world we live in IRL. I can listen to the radio or check the internet and get ski reports, mountain pass reports, and all kinds of traffic reports from many places in the world. Then I get on a computerised MMO and can not get a simple 'Jita gates open/closed' report.

Nope, no autopilot was involved, it was all done manual. I was hauling some too expensive stuff to autopilot, and I came from WHspace

It's hard to lose a pod in HighSec especially when you're not auto-piloting AFK.
