Not that I would ever dream of dismissing anything you say out of hand, but would you happen to have a citation? I'm curious.

you know those citation functions they have on wikipedia, the little numbers in squares? it woudl be nice if we had that in these forums.

That way you would be required by forum-rules to post a citation for any auto-flagged "fact" you say, sure you can say "this was flagged in error" and itll just let you post, but if it turns out you lied "7 day banhammer".

That way people would not only back up the source for their claims, they woudl be much less likely to spew about random numbers about how T2 BPO's control 99% of the T2 market, and Subs have been dropping by 12% a year sicne 2005, or how making the game F2P wouldnt negatively impact the game at all.

Thank you.

I see that Eterne said it, which explains why the gate in the trailer looks and acts nothing like a gate in the game.

I'm sure some poorly imagined bit of prime fiction will accompany this revelation, coupled with a middle-of-the-day live event that most people will not have access to.

That doesn't quite say that it's a regular gate. It simply says that it's the first "player built gate". I wouldn't take that as confirmation or denial of it being a "regular" gate. (Unless there is something I'm missing there.)

If you think the devs will build a one-time mechanic to allow players to build a gate on top of the Eve Gate, you got another thing coming.

If they do (and I enjoy the delicious drama from "why did you waste so much dev time on this crap"), if you think players will get anywhere near organized enough to actually do it themselves, without destroying each other, I have a bridge here to sell you. The Amarr Navy is unnecessary and would be less successful at screwing up a player efforts than players already are at it.

No. I don't think that. I also think it unlikely that they are simply going to allow run of the mill startgates to be built either. "Build stargates to replace the ones that you now get to blow up" hardly seems like an expansion theme. No idea what they intend, though.

I personally don't think they would waste time on that.

I could see them wasting time on a gate type that goes much farther than existing gates; or even a gate structure that can punch artificial wormholes ala Sansha's technology.

Removal of jump bridges and their replacement with a disruptable, publicly-accesible player-built gate system would be cool. Reduce null holders' advantage, add new harassment tactic.

We will get to construct stable gates around k-space wormholes (within a certain time frame) its as simple as that, from their others can create stable gates between other wormholes.Bear
