Topic: I still fear gatecamping

Hi all!

I still fear about gate camping, I mean every Gamma island will be closed at the TP -s and after we wont get any fun. Or will be fun try to kill, the turrets?

That wont be a problem, when you cant build them because you are always under attack but wont, and now the low population als the problem for that.

(I just fear the wall nerf bakc again after patch.)


Maybe a solution, what Obi Wan said before somewhere, 1000 m from coast you cant terraform thats all, and then you allow people into the Island, and they can find the miner towers. This is my dream not try to kill damn fortresses. That also will be there after that, because you still need fortess your base, and if you want really hurt the other alliance you need to attack, but afaik you can make some unvernalable fortresss with 20 people squad.

How you see this?

Energy to Earth!

Re: I still fear gatecamping

every alliance who wants to use their island for industry and pve will wall of their island to prevent roams. this is their homeground of cource they dont want others on it. besides this will also provides a second layer of defense.

roams are for beta... or not claimed gamma islands.

if you are looking for fast and easy kills then gamma is not for you.
gamma is about terraforming, pbs and terretorrial warefare.

the only thing that you might get are the transports that are running in and out of there... but i guess they will be escorted as well...

my 5 cents.

Bringing mk2 fleets shouldn't be the only option for Gamma PVP.

Re: I still fear gatecamping

Invaders ( I use that term on purpose) can always come in and test the defenses with small bots and roams. And of course TP's will always be contention points, however turrets on the gates could end up being fodder like probes are now; because its hard to TF good defenses at 600m and turrets even with boosters apparently don't have the detection to lock at 900m anyway.

But, if gate camping is effective, with or without turrets, that is what will happen.
