Just another crazy idea, based in others.

Of course, I am talking about closing gates.

To achive this you need on both sides of the gate:

Strategic level at one
Military and industry level: one at 4, the other at 3.

You can then add a module to your infraestructure hub on both systems to close the gate, based on standings.



Exception: covert ops can hack the gate with a codebraker in 5 min.

Problem: For this to really work we would need delayed local.

Why this is a bad idea... WH dont have ice belts to make sure they dont close them self in the holes and no one can hurt em so say you close your self in a system with the right planets and a ice belt why ever come out? it would brake the game cause every one would close out all of null doing such a thing theres a lot of systems but a limited number of system to get in from

It is not possible to hide inside a system. You need to achieve the necessary sovereignity and activity levels on both sides of the gate. If you don’t defend the exterior system you will loose sovereignity and the gate will be open. If you don’t have ratters and miners in the exterior system the gate will be open.

Also, closing the gate is not 100% safe. Covert ops will cross and open cynos in your system. If you cynojam the system, covert ops gangs will harass your miners and ratters. Be ready to have a defending fleet or the gate will be open.
Really, I don’t think a medium corp will be able to close a pocket system. Probably, the only pocket systems where the effort will be worth is for CSAA.

As to their use as a border gate, it cant avoid an organized effort to jump into your territory, unless you design a network of cynojammers negating all jump points inside your land. Also, each system that you cynojamm behind your gate will force the enemy Titan to get closer to the border to be effective, placing it in danger.

What this change will add to EVE is a bit more strategic depth, creating choke points where activity is necessary to keep them working.

To make it round, a couple of changes would be interesting:
• The activity levels in a system must be 3 or less before you can plant a SCU.
• Delayed local.

without taking sides. a post "no" without reason is not constructive. this forum is about ideas which should be discussed as unbiased as possible.

think about how game play would be affected, what new new opportunities came up, which ones you would loose. if diversity would increase, ...

no is no good.

check the moderated 10000 papercuts evelopedia page! http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Little_things_and_ideas_-_low_hanging_fruit_-_10000_papercuts comment, bump(!) and like what you like

Would you prefer 'No, this is *snip* you cannot have a place to *snip* and build supers with literally zero risk'?

Yes, I would. At least it shows someone has thought about the matter instead of just (troll-)posting.
