Quick and short of it: Make it so gates dont hit frigs as hard as they do cruisers. Something like HML sized so frigs can survive just a bit longer. It's quite stupid if a frig accidentally gcc's during a fight and gets insta-blapped by perfect tracking guns.

This is intentional to keep tacklers away from gates so low-sec is a bit more accessible.

Low sec really should feel more accessible. Maybe buff gate guns more so more people go.

Or we amp them up on hisec lowsec gates and get rid of them further in
This way if someone wants to camp they need effort for the reward and suddenly people start poking their nose in

A guaranteed or nearly so punishment deters action
A random punishment does not, even if there is a causative link between the action and the punishment
Thus telling people lowsec is safe, come play
Oh wait its not safe there, but only then and because of a 5 second timing bit
Will get people

I mean why do you sit on hilow gates waiting for people?

no

the barghest laughs at this idea.

You mean, it's intentional to make sure what gate camps there are use insta locking lokis with guardian support.

It's a bit dumb to have only 1 ship class not able to fight on a gate. Cruisers, BC, BS dont give a **** about gate guns. I'm not a frig pilot either so I only bring this up as it's kind of a head scratcher and seems pretty pointless to not allow frigs to fight on gate unless the non-flashy engages first. I'm not saying a frig should be able to perma-tank guns, but it should be just like any other ship where the engagement should be very limited under guns, and after 30 seconds or so gtfo if need be. It's kinda stupid that literally the ONLY ship class that can't do this is frigs, because gate guns have perfect tracking.

Yes. It's called teamwork, and that's what should be required to achieve fast lock times on a losec gate while under gate gun fire.

If you wanna tackle stuff on gate with frigs, there is always Null.

Not that I think nerfing the sentry guns would scare away more people than there already is in low - if you're moving something big my guess is you either got it scouted or shittons of friends next door.

Haven't tried running missions out in low-sec but I can imagine it involves getting the mission boat back to station due to overexcited combat probes.

*Edit* Dessie camp gang totally possible, just have enough thrashers to alpha your target and be aligned out *Edit*

Of probably 50 jumps into lowsec, without a scout, on hilow connections, I've probably jumped into at least 20 camps on gate. I did lose a merlin once on this toon, and an assortment of frigate/dessys on an alt I made solely for running around and trying to learn PVP. Thing is, myself in that noobish state is what you can assume most carebears who are trying out lowsec are going ot be like. Cannon Fodder
I especially liked the camp that people were trying to run back when tuskers were hosting that frigate PVP event. "HUR DUR, We'll kill all the carebears comign out to try and lrn2pvp in this event."

Ofcourse that goes out the window if your in a corp and you have someone who can scout you into low because only once in my travels have I found a camp on a low-low gate, that myself or one of my alts wasn't part of.
