Normally the rules forbid pvp on the stations and gates. For the planned pheobe release capitals will be able to use gates. One of the things that might need to be tested is how capitals engage in pvp using gates. Will there be any special exceptions perhaps to a specific gate in order to test this properly?

PVP on gates can be circumvented by consent, so long as all parties involved agree to PVP on the gate and there are not active interdiction bubbles stopping people from utilizing the gates there should be no issues, my advice though would be to test this outside 6-C in another seeded system to avoid too many people either:

A. interfering with the test with their own caps, supers, bubbles, etc.
B. Getting the wrong idea and engaging in "illegal Pvp"
C. Accidently getting someone else caught in your bubbles if your deploying any

I personally plan to test this as soon as the changes go live on the SISI sever myself since moving my thanatos through gates will be a reality very shortly, perhaps even testing it in low sec to make gate guns a realistic issue to deal with as well.

^This seems like a really elegant solution. Will be back if this changes, or we see any loopholes or anything, but in general these guidelines make a lot of sense (and I might steal them....Cool)
