I agree, 5 mins is good...do it for stargates too.
yea, that's a brilliant idea, that way, if im moving 5 jumps, it will take me 25 minutes instead of, say, 4.
i support the station one. people who want to dock because they have no hope are fine, people who dock and undock as a fighting style get owned. works for me.
Are you gonna fire on someone in every single system you travel through? 5 minutes for a gate is probably too long if you open fire though. If you attack somone who then runs back through, yer fubared. 1 minute?
I think taking active participation in combat should prohibit you from docking for a full 15 minutes. The timer should be refreshed every time a player makes a hostile action against another player.
The bottom line is, if yer gonna start a fight, or join in on a fight, you shouldn't be able to go cry to mommy. Station "pee-a-boo" is about as gay as a rainbow leotard. Man up and have some honor. Fight it out or avoid destruction for the full timer.

As soon as we can look outside to at least try and ensure we're not un-docking into a blatant trap, then the targets timer can reset every time performs an aggressive action on the target.
Until then it would just swing things the other way and make it far too easy to gank people at stations. You know exactly where they are going to be, you can be at your optimal, and you often have the advantage of seeing and reacting to the target before he see's you.
Most of us are talking about people that open fire then dock. If you don't open up on anyone, I think you should be able to redock just fine.

sorry, but the op made me 
seems like the astarte pilot used his brains and used the game mechanics to his advantage to actually beat a bigger force.
sorry, but changing game mechaincs cause your 5 man gang didnt manage to take out a commandship in 1++ min is a no no imo.
once you guys noticed you couldnt beat him in time you should have warped away seeing as he cant have a point on you while docked
the only thing that failed in this fight by the sound of it was you and your gang
Granted the OP failed, but that doesn't make the tactic any less lamesauce. You shouldn't be able to call time out in the middle of a fight you started. "hold up. I have to go repair. maybe get some different ammo." Grow a pair.

well then it would be a much better start imo to reduce docking range on stations so much that you acutally end up outside docking range once you undock..
there are a few stations like that in eve and imo they are all a lot better then some of the caldari stations and a few others that have up to 35km docking range.
changing docking time however isnt one of the ways to fix this problem as its one of the few ways you can still fight outnumberd and still manage to survive.
So what yer sayin is you can't fight without someone to hide behind?

No, what I'm saying is I post with an aptly named alt, so that I can speak my mind without a bunch of petty, small minded people looking me up and griefing me in game. I play to relax after all, not to deal with children.
At least I don't hide in a station when I pvp.

the only thing ive seen after having read some of the threads you have been in is the fact that you seem to hate the idea that some ppl actually manage to think outside the box and do things solo.
gotta love forum mechanics set up to reward pussies and cowards
Did I hit a nerve? Parroting back my words with a spin isn't exactly clever. "I know you are but what am I?"
Eve is a combat sim. It's fiction, but it's based on the idea of star ship combat. Hiding in a station isn't combat, and it's not even close to a real tactic. It's not "thinking outside the box", it's cowardice. Solo play my ass. Go make some friends.
I play the game for fun, as I said. I come to this forum to improve the game. If I hurt your feelings here, I don't really want you to come grief me in game. Griefing is another cowards tool. The griefer finds a way to bother another person, that hard to defend against, where as in real life if you got in my face to annoy me I'd stomp a mudhole in your ass. The internet makes small men feel big doesn't it?
I don't need some punk coward wasting my free time. Think of my alt as idiot insurance.

This thread's title is 100% correct in my opinion.

Yea sitting is a station is a cowards way of fighting, if you start the fight you shouldn't be able to dock for atleast 5 - 10 mins.
Then you only have the option of hiding or dieing 
Exactly this.
Originally by: Dark Phox
Solution is pretty simple. Put a bubble around the stations sort of like a POS. Then the only way you can even target one another is to get outside the bubble: IE: Outside of docking range.
I kinda like this idea too. Though I don't think you should be allowed inside the shield if you've fired on anyone in the last 15 minutes.
