Yes, because they are a nice target for hot drops. Not many would be going to hotdrop on frigs and destroyers, which makes them semi-immune to that threat.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

That may or may not be the case. I know people that'll drop on a tristan.

so bad idea because someone's going to put 100+ frigs on lowsec gates now...as opposed to 100 AHACS? You can put 100 anything, what difference it makes to the discussion i'm not sure.


bad idea because it creates more needless complexity in a region of space that already has enough needless complexity. It's got like the bastard rule set of highsec and nullsec.

You want frigs/dessies to be immune to gate guns because they'll kill them (I've actually seen frigs do quite well against gate guns, but oh well)

So is that only T1s? We including T2's? How about pirate faction?

see? lots of new complexity, no good gameplay reason other than aww the gate guns killed me Sad
