Heh, I never ctrl+Q'd before. But I will now, thanks for proving that gate campers don't want have to put effort into doing anything. Just camp a gate, free kills to put on the killboard.
Right because there is no risk in staying in one area of space for an extended period of time advertising your self and opening yourself up to attack whilst tanking sentry turrets.

I do see the loggers side now, why don't you guys fight someone who will fight back? Because you have a chance of losing?
If you are fighting a fight where you think you've got a decent chance of losing you need better intel and better planning. Especially Pirates. PVP is fun, blowing up ships is fun. But we do this to create something of an income. I don't mine, I don't build. I loot. Thank you. And I like my loot to be as lacking in defense as an asteroid. When my loot can kill me, I've seriously f'ed up. When its time for even fights, well thats why I've got war targets.

This new system I suggested would mean moving around, and having to put effort into catching people. They get no cloak, and they could even add a scanner that detects warp ins and tells you the planet, add "Breacher" ships that can attack ships that are warping between systems.
No it would mean a total lack of ability to ply the trade lanes. Never mind that it totally violates all of the back story in this game, and would be a gigantic change to how the game works. Traveling in groups would suffer greatly. 10 ships go to warp and they all end up at different spots in the next system? You wouldn't even be able to bust 'planet camps' anymore because your anti-pirate fleet would be spread across all the planets and your poor lone ship would get ganked before the rest could show up to save him.

As for the guy who said 2x or 3x warp speed wasn't enough, make it 100x or 1000x faster, the idea is still solid. Real alliances, not the ones who hang out in NPC 0.0 sov systems, would have no issue with this new system, because of "gravity wells".
And all the 'non real' corps and alliances in Empire Space, Low-Sec etc? They don't count apparently?

No matter, some tard will still say that I got killed in a gate camp and I am whining about it, I have only died to one gate camp, ever, and only because I didn't ask in local or check the map. The current system allows no effort from one party, maybe the other should have a no effort escape too. Or you fix it so both sides have to be some effort into it! That is a damn crazy idea now isn't it!
And should asteroids be able to fight back against the miners? AFK mining for income? Yep that requires effort all right.
