Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I belive that the clumping of players in high sec and low sec is partly due to the distance and time it takes to go there.

People in eve tend to settle in areas and roam, farly little.

Perhaps a nice way to add some new content to space and an isk sink while providing faster travel and hopfully encouraging high/low/null sec roams and ops - pvp, pve trade etc.

Im NOT syaing put toll hyper gates to jita from everywhere.

Just a choice for isk cost, to save some jumps accross regions. Perhaps make it very expensive for freighters perhaps isk cost baised on mass like portals/bridges.

Naturally none in null sec - they have jump bridges at POS for that - as it should be.

In before one word "no" posts.

Seems a good idea for "travel".

And assuming if other trade hubs etc come up to challenge the pseudo oligopolies we have that these optional routes can change then it's potentially viable as an method you have to pay for. (I wouldn't want existing gates to be simply replaced however, but i think that's what the OP is suggesting an optional alternative, and I also wouldn't want them to be present other than in the most significantly recognised trade pipes, so a very limited presence)

Obvious question I suppose would be how much per kg per light year (do you include cargo mass)? Maybe make it license based with a subscription for people who want to use them habitually like traders, or add it as an alternative payment option?

Not sure what it will do to potential Faction Warfare tactics and issues however.

Suggest making it manual use aswell, and not associated to autopilot, though I guess not a major issue if not. But assuming inability to pay could cause traffic jams it makes sense to make it manual.

What critereon will be used to decide entry and exit points aswell as qualifying volumes of traffic?

Its ok, if it would cost as much as the ship costs, including fitting and everything in cargo.
