Remove pulses from gates and stations? - Lythrilux - 01-26-2015
So if people aren't content with removing all the guns from stations, jumpgates, planets etc. can we just remove pulses at least? They're by far the most annoying and just encouraging irritating behavior.

Naah... It's better with them.

I'd say remove regular guns but pulses should stay.
Otherwise I would have troubles hiding behind Westpoint from 4 Scyllas and two OC BSs.

You can always just run down the tradelane, or make distance since they're capital ships?
The pulses just encourage immense base/gate hugging, and are also counter-productive to piracy (at the gates). The standard turrets can still whittle down a ship, but the pulses are overkill.

The pulses discourage people from using caps at the gates, where they can use the 30 second recharge time to avoid lawfuls jumping in on them.

Edit: whoops, wrote something on my phone and it disappeared when posting, only leaving the quote, which I agree with.

What do you mean? That the unlawful cap can use the gate when lawfuls jump through, while they have to wait for the recharge timer? If so, that's easily solved by the lawfuls leaving 1 ship on the other side of the gate before they jump through...

Just return to CAPS CAN'T PIRATE policy, omg. Change was stupid in the first place, encouraging tears and capwhority.
RE: Remove pulses from gates and stations? - sindroms - 01-26-2015
To be fair, I rarely see people pirating in anything above a gunboat.
Which is good.

Pulses can stay.
All other guns should go.
Pulses grant some protection against silly things like:
> cap waiting next to jumpgate (cap piracy is stupid anyway)
> cap sitting on top of base, blocking docking ports, instaing snubs happily.
A base needs to be an advantage, however Tau experience has shown how annoying it is and that having them heavily armed is also bad for gameplay as it will make players hug it, as much as leaders can try to preach "do not do it", it will always happen, will always cause rage and frustration, and will always be stupid.
Therefore: slow firing, long range pulses on gates/bases are fine. Fast firing guns that cause lag and make fighting really silly (NPC Battleships, oh my God!!!) should go.
