Anti-warp bubbles OP

My corp says the best asteroids can only be found in low security and 0.0 security systems. So I venture to mine in 0.0 systems. Then I discover these anti-warp force field bubbles that trap you when you try to jump so that you can be easily destroyed. They are too tough for anything less than a cruiser to destroy so, instead of "high risk, high reward", I'm faced with "no chance, you lose".

Why make it so easy for pirates to intercept ships at jump gates? Wouldn't it make more sense to put turrets and empire navy ships around the jump gates so that players can at least get though them? Why would the empire factions leave thousands of jump gates around the outer galaxy and not defend them?

I'm not saying remove bubbles from the game, just change them so they can't redirect your ship when you're warping to a gate.

Make friends. Fly in bigger groups. Sorry...but this problem you are having will not change.

Uh...you already answered your question.

0.0 IS NOT EMPIRE SPACE.

Go Back to High Sec if you want the security.

Those aren't the empire's. Those systems' sovereignty is held by alliances. If anything, we'd put gate turrets to shoot you, but instead CCP decided we can't.

The bubbles are of course not always there, though the nice low-null sec gates are camped fairly frequently for the delicious killmails.


Oh and yeah, please don't abuse the rocks in nullspace, our communist overlords force us to mine them 23/7 to fuel their war engines. It's uh really terrible and you might get caught and roped into it too...

Warp bubbles are countered by cloaking and by having BMs around gates. Use cloaking to make BMs the first time in system - then, no problem - you can take anything you want (within reason, no reason to lose a freighter) into null without having to worry about bubbles OR cloaking.

Reported for crossposting.


On topic, bubbles are easy to avoid, just make sure you have an overview tab with them on it for null flight (so they show up in dscan).
