Gab, you seem to just be saying you don't like the idea and insulting others. Maybe provide a reason?
Most smugglers I have encountered in Alaska claim to have the codes to the gates, aquired through the Junkers or other contacts. This will actually allow them to RP that properly. So really it helps the smugglers who aren't OORP.
Everyone would not have acess to the gate. They COULD get through it if they aquired the codes. Which they could bribe a Navy person for or shoot down someone carrying them. Saying that this will simply mean everyone will have them is silly. I have over 15 characters on the server, none of them properly lawful. Around 3 or 4 of them are regularly in and out of Alaska. I will probably only be able to get the codes for 1 of them since the only way for me to aquire them would be through bribery or blasting the Navy a bit. Neither look very nice to me but I know I would actually relish it in a way. This is a step closer to what things would be like in a real universe.
In regards to new Order/Nomad players. If the new mod version is implementing a Rep bribing system (IE all the NPCs in the bar have various bribes) then that will work.
