Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Basic Idea:
Alliances should be able to attack Null Sec Stargates and disable them, preventing any direct movement between two systems.

As I read many forum threads regarding the current state of Null Sec, I began to think of ways small alliances could take sov in mostly empty null sec. Being able to disable stargates in Null Sec could be one of these ways. You would only be able to attack stargates in very low truesec systems, and it would take about as long to disable a stargate as it would to destroy a medium or large pos, without the reinforcement timer. Once disabled, the stargate would be inoperable for about half a week or so, enough time to take sov in systems with no stations, but also enough time to prepare a counter-attack.

This would help small alliances take sov, help existing entities defend their own territory, and would probably go well with player-built stargates in the future.

This is probably a horrible idea, but tell me what you think anyway.

I don't think it's a good one. It has potential to totally disrupt subcapital freedom of movement. If those gates could be not just disrupted, but movement through the system could be restricted to some narrow corridors between gates in it - that would be slightly better approach, but I will refrain from further discussion 'cause nullsecs' strategy and politics are too beyond my current knowledge.

Posting in a stealth buff capitals thread.

so....only wh'ers will be able to roam these systems?

Blob shuts down gates.

They either kill any neut cyno's with a quickness or opt to cyno jam it.

So wh's are the only way in or out not in blue caps (or titan bridged). And that be until they really want their privacy and collapse them.

You boosting wh entrance/exit numbers in 0.0 to compensate for this or jsut leaving it the random 1 here, 1 there it is now?
