Tradelane weaponry: Remove?

[Hone]

Im all for giving solars proper defences but GB turrets on lanes seems excessive! I rekon Fighter turrets on lanes, Transport turrets on Gates and small stations, GB turrets on large stations and docking rings, and Cruiser turrets on military stations. With The BS's having BS turrets of course. Oh yeah, and replace military/police NPCs with MK2s, but reduce their numbers, and implement it in every house. Yeah. If only.

With these weapons I dont think it will discourage activity like it does in gallia atm, and summer is afraid of. But it will make enemy base camping more dangerous, and be more inrp. Which I think we all agree is good dont we?

I'd like to see them buffed a bit.

I vote we remove them. They're an annoyance.

Remove them, No point in stressing the server more than it already is.

Piracy should be difficult because traders are smart, or because the lawfuls are active. The odds shouldn't be in the favor of traders if no effort's put forth by them as players. If you want to win, you should have to work for it, not let npc's, tradelanes, etc do it for you, that just discourages interaction. I say they should be removed.

---and your "force the police to patrol more" idea is frankly, not implementable, that arguement fails. ---

I told that to traders and official police players not Devs. Theres no need to implement more NPC defence, if patrol from 2-3 police players will scare off all pirates however. But I got your point.

Edit: And what Captain Irwin of the Lance said.

Why do we bother with TL's when there are things that are more important?

Buff Sirian turrets, reduce Gallic turrets.

As Sirian lanes are all built from the same template, there is no lore justification for differences between the Sirian houses.

Edit. There is also no lore justification for Lanes not being armed.

There was a sig here, once.

Surely this isn't as black and white as you're making it. Self-defense systems would be auxiliary to the critical lane technology, right? I'm sure the houses could make modifications if they felt it necessary.

If you need an in-RP way to refute the idea, though, maybe legal restrictions put in place by Ageira would be justification enough.

Try not to change, would be good...
