I'm so dead if I go into lowsec, they'll come from across the galaxy.

It's pretty funny when people suggest that pirates will be having a slaughter at these gates. What's the biggest low-sec gatecamp you've ever seen? 10 ships? 20? Very rare to see that many.
On the other hand, it should be no problem to get together a gang of 40 or 50 faction-supporters who want to gain access to a system. If they can work together all I can see is dead pirates.
Which is a point I've not really seen much about... will there be some mechanism for FW peeps to self-organise into gangs, with a decent FC? It probably needs to be a little more structured that the existing fleet formup mechanism if we want random noobs to be able to join in...

You believe all of those 12 gates will be camped to the point where FW won't be possible?
LOL, the *irony* PIRATE PEACEKEEPERS!
I honestly think the NPC factions should hold the chokepoint gates with beeeeefed up sentry guns, so their agents can at least get into the FW areas, after that they're on their own....

Originally by: Bish Ounen Ok,
I'm not trying to nitpick here. I've listened to the recording of the Dev blog (missed it live, I was working) and I've had quite a few of my concerns allayed about it. However I do have a question:
One thing I don't understand, and I'd be very interested to hear the RP backstory on, is how "Black Rise", an area that previously was an unnavigable void devoid of stars, now suddenly has stars and bases and such? How will the sudden appearance of the stars be explained? And what about them suddenly being Caldari lowsec systems?
Will it be shown that the Caldari State had been able to access these systems some time ago, but kept them hidden until recently? (Perhaps revealed through some event connected to the Empyrian Age trailer?) And what about the stars "suddenly" being there? Was there some kind of freaky black nebula surrounding that region that has suddenly dispersed? How will this be explianed?
Don't get me worng, I'm NOT complaining. I'm just curious and want to know.
That big new star we all saw at Xmas was actually a supernova that changed the space that the gates use. The scientists that went missing when they went to investigate it, found new path ways and the Caldari state erected gates to use those path ways. It has been a state secret, while they set up bases/colony's in the new regions. Soon it will all be announced to the public as a fait accompli.
Suck eggs you Gallente scum. We're sorry........Something Happened !!!!! |

Edited by: Tek''a Rain on 17/05/2008 03:13:18 OF course, a reply to all the "pirate gatecamps do not exist.. mostly" crowd.. There are not 23/7 camps Now because there is nothing much worth getting in lowsec, or at least in large swaths of it. Once there is growing populations trying to move along with influxes of less experienced pvp'ers (in theory) then it will certainly become viable to camp gates.
Either a pirate group trying to catch all the lovely and overly optimistic faction fit CNRs, or powerful double-zero alliances sealing off sites for personal gain. Limited access will leave factional warfare stillborn.
<personal gripe> BTW: what ever happened to Gallente Cosmos? All those fixes "Complete and added to the next major patch" several major patches ago? Does FW mean all those Other issues are going to (continue to be) ignored? </personal gripe>

It is simply yet another 'low sec' region.
correct, with all the gallente/caldari fw in it, and all the pirate carrier gatecamps as usual
Indeed. And as everyone knows they are utterly impossible to evade or defeat.
It is a well-kept secret - I may be killed for revealing this - that upon declaring yourself a pirate, any ship you fly gets double hitpoints, scan res and base resistances. You also get access to a secret channel, special mods and a plug-in to the scanner that tells you exactly where the nearest non-pirate is at any time. True story.
I want to know what game HE'S playing.

Originally by: CCP Greyscale There are forty six systems in Gallente lowsec space that are also part of the Gallente/Caldari area, mainly in Placid and the northern border of the big Essence/Sinq/Verge block. We wanted to have a decent amount of lowsec on both sides of each border to use, and while the Gallente have plenty, the Caldari had not very much, so we added some more. That's pretty much all there is to it.
Sounds fair enough to me. ---

You're talking about literally hundreds of gates, are low sec gates camped that much nowadays?
I almost never run into low sec gate camps. And I'm in low-sec a lot lately.

I'm getting a feeling this will be more like WWII Online in the way it will work than anything else actually.

Honestly, I think it will be a mission carebear gankfest of unparalleled proportions. As soon as the patch comes out all of the mission people will think "ooh new features I must try them" only to discover that there's a 20 man gatecamp on every single entry point to black rise. The "Noooo I lost my 800mil GTC-bought faction-fitted navy raven" thread will number in the double digits.

If this actually triggers a flood of carebears into low sec, I'm movin' there full time.
Also, re the 10 vs 40 comment, 10 can beat 40 depending on the setup and what tactics they use, or at least inflict massive casualties and then break off.

Yeah and if you turn enough in to your system commander some of the regular NPC caracals become navy issue and start fitting faction mods.
