Jump Gates

[Tutashkhia]

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.

Well, let me get things clear then. You miss one thing. I have nothing about the idea of shifting the piracy from jumpgates to tradelanes. But there's one huge problem. NPC. Too many of them start appearing to the same lane, launching mines and missiles which takes down the Trade Lane in 90% of times. And the biggest problem, Trade Lane Bug. When it's down and out-of-work, ships can still pass through it. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one having that problem.

So, it's like this: I can't pirate near Jump Gate. (I can, but it's really bad). When I stick near the trade lane, NPC breaks it down in no time. If the target isn't on scanner while TL is being destroyed, target passes through it. I've experienced 2 such traders today.

Edit: Just don't start the lectures about "how to be a successful pirate", please.
