I notice some jump gates, especially Amarr ones, are covered in thousand of tiny windows. Who lives there? Do they need thousands of engineers to maintain them?

Those stargates were made in ancient times, and people used to live and work there. Now that knowledge is lost to us, which is why alliances can't build new stargates wherever they want. The stargates are creepy and abandoned with corpses inside.

There, brand new backstory for ya. Have at it. Cool

If there's one thing I've learnt from eve's ship design, it's that a glowing light doesn't necessarily equal a window. They probably are manned though, otherwise it should say "traffic computer" rather than "traffic control" when you're queued for jump.

according to the books, there's about a dozen people working there in ships just to keep everything running. most of the time, they do nothing. but incase something big goes wrong, they have an entire team to work on it rather than just one or 2 people. everything related to function is done by computers.

Yes, Bloodpetal clearly lives inside of one of those gates. Shocked

THere's people living inside, who work on the operation and maintenance of the gate. And also on the TV broadcasting system, for some reason.

In jump gates, don't know about that but you could be forgiven for thinking some players live by them as they scan everything and have their disposable Tornados to hand.

Oh look at you calling him out on lore. You must be so clever.

If I recall correctly, the technicians aboard most Stargates have very little to do in the operation of the actual gate. What they are there to do however is maintain what are known as "Fluid-Routers". These are part of a communications network built in to all Stargates, everywhere.

The Routers play a very important role in EVE, sending and receiving everything from your everyday multi system business vidcall, right up to its most important function; Transferring the mind-state of a pod pilot at the moment of death, all the way through the Stargate network back to the medbay where our new clones wait.

Just a little "proper" story for you.

Read Old Man Star
Its a good read and shows these jump gates, lore wise, could be built with few individuals and a small army of drones. Why they have so many lights and windows was perhaps a art gaff. Just like how they last reskinned the Drake to have fewer windows. Perhaps with stations and gates get v3ed the window situation will change.
