Just checking. Gotten blasted by gate campers in .4 like they were in .0, no gate guns, no cops I'm treating .4 and less the same as I look at .0
Just wondering what is the difference?

.4 to .0 Empire, the gatecampers have to be 65+km from the gate, necessitating the use of battleships for ganking. In .0 non-Empire, they get to be more creative about it -- and more certain about kills, I do believe. They just don't get the same sort of unprepared traffic, though.

Systems with the CONCORD Security Rating of .4 to .1 are covered by CONCORD owned sentry guns @ the gates and stations.
A PC pirate must be 55km+ away from sentry guns to initiate aggression towards someone without being fired at. Causing aggression at one gate does not carry system wide.
For Example:
I can open fire at you at Gate A, and if I drift within the sentry gun range; they will shoot me. Whereas - I can just as easily warp to a neighbooring gate (if I wanted to leave) @ 15km from it, without punishment.
In .4 to .1, a player loses security rating for initiating aggression, destroying someones ship, and podding someone.
When a *pirate* or *enemy* initiates aggression towards you, you may fire back without reaction from the surrounding sentry guns, as you are defending yourself. But be careful, if you can't handle the pretassesor - you'll run to the gate to jump and realize your not allowed to jump for being appart of recent aggressions, and you'll have to wait 30 seconds. You can either die, jump, or warp out and hope he doesn't follow.
In 0.0, there are no laws, and a user can sit next to a gate and shoot you down. Same goes for a station, but if the directly hit the station, the sentry guns around the station will engage the user. Causing splash damage to both the sentry guns or station itself initiates no reaction from sentry guns. Sentry guns surrounding stations in 0.0 are owned by the company of that which owns that station. Unless you have crap standings, -2, they wont fire on you. If you do have -2, I'm not even sure they'll fire on you. Remember there is a difference between Faction, Standings, and Security Rating.
A user in 0.0 will not recieve a security status deminishment for engaging another user.
Hope this helps.. even if I did give you a bit more info then you needed.

I got hit by these guys as well...
What gives? Can you activate warp scramblers / webbies against someone without being hit by the sentries?
I'm pretty sure the guy with the quick lock and warp scramblers was inside their range because I jumped in less than 20km from him...
