The idea here is to add more items that you can deploy and anchor in space. Such as turrets, missile launchers, damps, painters, ECM and so on.

This will:
-Give players a chance to perform other roles in the fleet
-Help smaller groups engage larger groups
-Revolutionize gate camping
-Add more items to be built, bought, sold, stolen, blown up

Soo I just place 100 turets around gate and then just command them from my frigate? Or I place 100 damps, painters, ecm and snipe from away? Oh boy, oh boy, I want this soo much right now, so I can **** with a lot of players on my own and dont need any friends to help me. /sarcasm

Now really I would like to see some more deployables but you definitely should not be alowed to place anything around gates.

And before you start inventing some huge restriction rules, just think how mutch alts I can create and how many noobs will stop being usefull as tacklers / ECMs if you create deployables that can do the same thing.

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.

There already is something like that. And it's called sentry drone.

Thus your idea translates to creating new type of sentries.
