Null Sec Entrance Bottlenecks

People gate camp. Null sec is full of gate camps. Null Sec Entry is bottlenecked. I propose to open the bottlenecks. First, by making more systems have gates into null sec. Second, by having more gates in null sec entrance systems so that people aren't forced into 1 obvious path to get into that region of null sec.

This does not eliminate gate camping, which will still be quite viable. This merely makes it easier to enter null sec.

I'm pretty sure not all null sec systems are bottlenecked, in fact most are not. The most camped gates are HS > null while most LS > null gates are quiet unless its a chain system. Simply avoid these systems and use a scout and its no problem.

To be frank about it, you're wrong.

Not every High-Null & low-Null is camped at all times making it "hard" to get into Null.

I know for a fact that many arent even camped at prime time on weekends!

The low-Syndicate gates for example, low-Great Wildlands, Low-Providence, low-Vale, low-Geminate (via EOA-), Low-Querious, low-Fountain. And as for the high-low transitions on the way to these, they are usually quiet too.

If anything the ones that are camped mostly are Tribute, Pureblind & Geminate (via BWF-) and even then not all the time.

Also add npc null system in middle of all sov null areas, with a dozen gates going around like an octopus.Big smile

Yeah, there are maybe half a dozen 'permacamped' gates in 0.0.

When proposing a solution to a problem one should first ensure that the problem actually exists.

also plenty of wormhole routes that lead into 0.0
there is no problem to fix here

There are 6 entries into Syndicate, 1 HS, 5 Low Secs. If the null sec side isn't camped, 1 of the low secs in the bottleneck are camped. The 1 Curse entry is camped on both sides, in Doril and Sendaya. Wildlands has 2 lows you'll find camps in the bottleneck on 1 (Egbinger) and the null side (7Q-) on the other. Fountain, Stain, Venal, Delve and Geminate NPC have only Sov Null Entries. The Outer Ring only has Syndicate or Sov entries.

Providence doesn't even have NPC space. Sov space is camped entirely at the will of the sov holder.

Add these up, and you'll find that of the Empire entries into NPC Null sec, there are 9 total entries systems, 1 High Sec, 8 Low Secs.

The Trade Cosmos entrance into Syndicate has multiple gate camps set along the line. You have camps at Hier, Shirshocin, Gondista, 97X. There are 3 lighter camps in Y9G, Agaullores and D85, but most of the fish have been killed off in Hier and Gondista before reaching there.

9 Gates are camped basically. Doril, 7Q-, Egbinger, PF-, 6-C, Ostingele/Harroule (depending on which side, if not both, that they want to camp), Gondista, and Hier. The ONLY mildly safe route into NPC null sec is actually through a Faction Warfare system bottleneck, leading into Syndicate, of which there are plenty of gate camp possibilites that someone will pick up soon enough.

This is, of course, the region with 6 entries, rather than the system with 2 or 1.

So sov-holding alliance aren't allowed to deny access to their sov by the common interloper through means of interdiction?

And who said nullsec was meant to be "safe" to get into?

it IS safe to get into, so long as you bow before the banner of the major nullsec coalition of your choice.

like seriously, know how often i get TEARS, adn i mean TEARS in local just from wandering in a group of maybe 3 frigates? everyone docks up their PvE ships and refuses to fight, even when were outnumbered, all cause they are scared that were past their "great blue wall".

to be quite honest, you guys NEED to start setting up more camps between low/high and null, if it keeps going on like this, all your ebars will quit and go cry in jita over how they cant make any isk in big scary null.

(though i guess agtecamps wont do much against us WH'ers, unless we happen to accidentally happen across a combat system) Big smile

*edit: and by "you guys" i refer to more than just goons, its a generalization towards a majority of nullsec.

See, there's your problem. You're trying to go to nullsec.

If you're not part of the big blue donut of friendship, then nullsec is a waste of time and money. Set foot out there and you will get über mega blobbed to death. No sense in fighting back against an enemy that has infinite money, ships and resources.

So why bother going to null? Welcome to the 85% of eves population club.

Bad troll is bad. Nobody mentioned limiting interdiction. Nobody mentioned making nullsec entry "safe".

The objective of this thread is to show there are limited routes into NPC null, and that opening up the bottlenecks by adding gates will increase the players in NPC null. There is still risk. It's still not safe. It just makes it easier to get into null.

Take a fleet and kill the gatecamps.

So tired of people asking CCP to do the things they cant/wont do for themselves.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

And why does there need to be more people in NPC null? And why does it need to be easier (see: safer) to get into null?
