Um, Zoom people only complain about ICS B, ABT, and TMB.
The reasoning behind this is they are tired of getting ganked and sparked into. I do not see any reason why a owner of a station should not be able to get there when they wish. Gamma's should never have a penalty of getting there when you wish. The risk is far to high, for the investment that is made.
The only reason we can deploy so fast is we have taken the time and invested into beta outposts. Other's need to do the same. (And they are currently and will continue to do so.)
10 sparks in relation to a bigger world would make sparks less of a issue. You will still have your hot spots (that's the point) and you will have your dull spots. Players can make of it as they wish.
Zoom look at beta 2s. They have sparks, we have the power to lock whoever we wish out. Yet most of what this topic is about is attempting to make beta 1s more secure, like B2's. Why are we trying to pull the diversity out of the game? Look at where the PVP is occurring, its all out of B1's and the open terminals. Why is that a bad thing? Because one side seems to be winning all the time. (Which isn't the case at all.)
I would much rather your Team continue to work on what your already doing. Making the beginning side of things more user friendly. Rather then, being lulled into a false premise of a argument.
One last point, as the game stands now, those three termails have ZERO value. All of the mining for Epi, and other beta related activity's (so far just well Epi) will go on at Beta 2s. Some will attempt to say that beta 1s are great for missions, not so much.
Why are beta 1s so hostel then? Its because we have a player base that chooses to make them so, for FUN. We dont need them, so why fight for them, and lose bots over them. Well again, its for fun.
As it stands now we have two side of how we wish for this game to be directed.
One side wishes to have open choices and fluid movement, not of hard game assets, but rather the opportunity of movement of your character, over the game world.
The other wishes to have movement restricted, making a more cell blocked game. Meaning more people into higher concentrated groupings, in more concentrated land masses, with very small fluid movement.
How you decide this will change the game greatly.
