There is nothing worse then hunting another gang or solo guy jump after jump only for them to get away from you because they managed to get lucky to jump through a regional gate.


There's your problem right there. Ayup.

Seems like you're attributing losing your target to the regional gate, when it sounds like you've already lost the target and you're just chasing after it like a headless chicken.... err, I mean 'hunting'.

If regional gates really do give you issues, I suggest you a) kill them before a regional gate jump, b) kill them after the regional gate jump. Jumping through a regional gate may make it hard to catch targets on THAT gate, but has 0 effect on your ability to pursue a target.

What you call luck may be clever planning on their part, or a lack of awareness of your surroundings on yours. If you're surprised by a Regional gate and it affects your gameplay, I suggest being more aware of where they are rather than rage-posting on the forums about them.

Their LY range should be increased, and allow capitals to pass through them. This would divide up all the regions and either:

A) Force groups to establish a beach head in a region before capitals can be reliably fielded.
B) Risk jumping capitals through a gate.

Alternatively reducing Jump Drives and Jump Bridges LY range could also facilitate the change, and allow Black Ops to still bridge the gap, by increasing its LY range over the regional gap. That actually sounds a bit better. This would limit caps into regional ships, while allowing black ops to still perform their inter regional role.

Thats what I think about regional gates anyway.
