Jump Gates

[Lythrilux]

The current jump gates were originally designed to shift piracy spot focus from jumpgates to tradelanes. To do so, they were given weaker generic turrets and average pulse guns. Perhaps you should try piracy along the lanes and see if your own security improves by doing so.

I find that logic really silly to be honest. There was nothing wrong with piracy at gates: they were good piracy spots where traders could be caught and it generated a lot of activity. And people still pirated on lanes anyway - pirating at gates just gave them more choice and variety.
And pulse guns are too effective - gate hugging sucks balls.

If you still want to insist on staying near the gates, then you can always use the tradelanes as cover or find one of the various blind spots of the gate turrets.

Indeed you can, however it's not as effective as what we used to have. As evident in game, jump gates have a lot less piracy activity than what they used to have.
