Gate Turrets in 0.1 - 0.4 systems are completely usless !
I am calling for CCP to either make them effective against all classes of ships including BS's or remove them altogether because the only classes of ships these turrets can kill with 100% effectiveness are Cruisers or Frigates. A suitably equipped BS can ignore Gate Turrets with no fear of losing a ship.
BTW - This includes Gate or Station Turrets not just Gate Turrets. |

... and Industrials, Interceptors etc. In fact, the only ship that can withstand sentry guns for a short while is a properly tanked Bship (groups of ships are different).
What was your point again? That you can't afford a battleship and want to make pirating in cruisers and frigates easier?
For those who cannot read or are too lazy to read... My point was that "Gate/Station Turrets are completely useless in 0.1 - 0.4 systems and should be fixed or removed..." |

well now you're contradicting yourself, b/c they are not completely useless if they can kill anything but a properly tanked battleship. Their use would be killing frigates, industrials, interceptors, cruisers, & improperly tanked battleships :P
Yeah, I guess there are a lot of players using easy to kill ships to gank peeps at the Gates/Stations in 0.1 - 0.4 systems, huh ? - LMAO
Let me rephrase - Gate/Station Turrets in 0.1 - 0.4 systems are completely usless in keeping properly tanked BS's from ganking peeps. If the goal as to achieve this useless state of affairs then I stand corrected and I'll learn how to proply tank my BS's and join those who like to gank others.
Personally I find the use of such tactics as being just this side of chicken-sh_t but that's just me. On the other hand tanking a BS to withstand Gate/Station Turrets in 0.1 - 0.4 systems does seem to me to be a very nice "exploit" of game mechanics. Why CCP doesn't share this perspective amuses me - on the other hand I have long believed the worst PC rats in the game are really CCP employees in disguise. |

Jacque, having read a number of your posts recently, I've come to the conclusion that you're the epitomy of a carebear.
Therefor I feel it is my duty to ask you, please, consider someone other than yourself.
Thanks.
Yeah, I am a carebear with a -2.29 sec rating - LMAO !
But then I also ganked a Caracal whilst in my Scorpion just cuz it happened to warp into a belt where I was hunting in some named 0.2 system... the Caracal died really fast and I wasn't even trying to kill it much (actually the game CTD'd after I launched my drones and fired 2 missiles). My sec rating would be -5 by now had I not chosen to refrain from ganking so I don't get banned from 0.9+ systems.
Gee, I didn't know "carebears" were also criminals in EVE. - LMAO |

The entire purpose of decreasing security levels is to make some space more dangerous then others. The fact that a BS can tank against sentry guns in 0.1 space makes that space alot more DANGEROUS then 1.0 space. Get it?
The entire purpose for having Gate/Station Turrets in 0.1 - 0.4 systems is to deter crime but the only criminals who lose ships in those systems are the weak and/or the stupid. Now I ask you, do we have a rash of Frigate/Indy/Cruiser criminals ganking peeps in 0.1 - 0.4 systems or what ? NO ! We do have a rash of BS criminals ganking peeps within range of Gate/Station Turrets in those systems. Remove those Turrets or fix 'em because they are completely useless ! |
