We are not your puppets, we don't comply everysingle time that someone says: "Hey, pirate at...", or "Smuggler carrying...", or "Someone is in Alaska" First at all, because those things happen all the time. There is always a pirate, there is always a smuggler and there is always someone coming from Alaska, but you know what? We are here trying to have fun, trying to PLAY, this is not our JOB, this is a GAME. If you wanna go and travel through Alaska claiming "I'm unstoppable!!!" go ahead, do it, but do it ALONE, don't bother us.
We have better things to do instead of sitting out of Z21 awaiting for the lulwuts coming. There are people here who actually wants to play with us, and have a nice day playing with/against us.
And as you already have been told from Order players here, they don't share they secrets with you, and they don't want you to provide them with anything there. So, all your reasons to be using Alaska are gone.
And as other pointed out, if you claim to be an Order ally, expect to be hunted by the LSF.
Couldn't we just make the jumpgate only accessible to Navy Guard, LSF, Nomad (hey, we need to get into Liberty *somehow*) and Order repped chars? I've heard it's possible. Maybe you could also get it to let level 5 Starfleas pass, so the people trying to set up could go through as well.
Also, wouldn't smuggling through Alaska be sanctionable for ooRP behavior? It makes about as much sense as a Gallic battlefleet orbiting Manhattan, after all...

Perhaps base it on LN, LN Guard, LSF, Keeper, Order, and Recruit ID? If any of those attempt to go through it works, otherwise they are denied access?

I think it's possible, but it was decided that it would not be done, and if people wanted Alaska blocked, they'd have to do the job themselves.
I'd almost be in favour of making the jump gate inaccessible to anyone lacking a certain ID, such as LN, LSF, and Order (who could bypass the security codes through hacking or with information provided by agents). Everyone else can go around through the jump holes (which, I believe, takes you through the LSF Guard system, unfortunately).

there are other routes, such as through kusari or rheinland, to do the smuggling.

As far as I am concerned It would spoil the hours of enjoyable gameplay I have in Alaska stopping traders, engaging the Order etc. I quite enjoy stopping people who enter and rp that they are in a restricted area etc

a better idea is to close the gate off like that one dude before mentioned so that people cannot just randomly use the gate, but add a non-mappable JH to both New York and Alaska that brings you between them. That way, normal peeps can get through if they take the time to locate both holes. In addition, the JH could have its vicinity INFESTED by nomads on BOTH sides so that it is hard to use. So, in NY the 5k area around it would spawn like 8 assasins and in alaska system spawn like 12.

Does nobody here care about the corsairs and newyork is the only place to sell there goods ?
Xoria even said the Profit from the routes are based on the distance you go.
Going through berlin with artifacts does not justify only 13 million profit for 50 minutes of travel.
SO its ment to go through alaska and that is not oorp.
Unless they add Artifact routes currenly newyork is the only crackhole that will buy them.

Second: Your other picture in the rotation fills the full 700x250 boundaries by itself.
With an image that big, you can't fit any text below it. Please fix this.

This seems a fair compromise to me.
This would hurt LN as much or more than anyone. Especially with the Nomad patrols. Alaska is an LN system, we shouldn't make it too hard for them to get in there. Only for others.
