Ok, so I saw one of the new big stargates. It was awsome! Great work on it! (I saw the Gallante one)
But I only saw that one gate, and I jumped around between other regions (within empire) and only saw the normal ones.
So how many gates where actually changed, only some regional ones? Was something done about the lesser ones? And how big a region must it be to get teh big gate (since apparently not all regions had new gates between them, only the one leading from a 0.7 to a 0.0 system I found)
And if you want, post some pic of them for eye candy pleasure :)

These regional gates are insanely massive. The caldari one is about 12km. It now takes 5-6 hic/dics to camp a regional gate.

It's always taken a couple of dics to camp a gate.

Not sure if there's a major diff between premium and standard clients, but wow, these new gates look amazing. As others have said, those border gates are monsters. The animations for jumping look very cool as well.
Have yet to see Caldari (other than the pic here in this thread) and Minmatar ones myself. Very cool addition, even if all it adds is a more distinct way of knowing when you're doing a particular type of jump.

Since mobile bubbles were also nerfed, namely the range, gates will be harder/more expensive to lock down. Takes a T2 large bubble to cover the new massive gates now.
Alternatively you can place the smaller bubble in line with in/out gates and hope to catch the prey when they warp there.
Derailing the thread a little, sorry :(

Anyone else not seeing this kind of effect on the premium and normal TQ client?

All the new gates on Sisi had cool animations like the video shows but in TQ they don't have the animations.

My guess is they hadn't finished the animations yet. (Only smaller Amarr gates and the 4 border gates were showing them) The Gallente gates had their old animations on SiSi too. They probably dropped them from the expansion to complete all of them before deploying them.

Close. The particle effects on the gates were causing some issues, so we pulled the gates, reauthored them with no particle effects and those are the ones on TQ currently. Of course, we all want shinies, and once the kinks are worked out, I'm sure we will redeploy them with added awesome.

Do you mean border gates or region gates? Looks like they're two different things now. Or maybe I'm totally misunderstanding the question (likely, since I'm only working on my first cup of coffee currently).

Yeah, I guess I am mixing border gates and regional gates. Too bad the new gates are only boder gates, I would like to see more of them :P (If this is the case)

New Gates (that I can recall)
Amarr: System, Region and Border. (The constellation was the default Amarr gate type pre-QR) Gallente: Region and Border, while the constellation gates were fairly uncommon before, they did exist. Caldari: Region and Border, the system and constellation gates were available before. Minmatar: haven't been in minmatar space in a long time, so wouldn't know.

Aww.. But I LIKE my shinies kinky!
Ok, in all seriousness, the new gates are TEH SEX. Although to be honest, I thought the Gallente one was the Amarr one! Look at the vertical towers that make up the center of the Gallente gate. Look familiar? They should. they have the same basic design as most Amarr space stations. Other than the less golden coloration, you could see how I might have confused those. NOT A COMPLAINT. I think they look dead sexeh! Now that I've seen the Amarr gate proper I can easily tell the difference.
VERY nicely done CCP!

that statement right there is EVERYTHING thats wrong with this "expansion", its full of bad things; with possibly the orca and the certificates finished (apart from the fact whoever drempt up the cert requirements was smoking crack).
never felt that negative about a ccp "expansion", i use it in the loosest sense of the word.
