Station and Gate weapons - again

[Malmsteen]

Sure, if you're a trader who doesn't care for unlawful interactions it's really fun. And to have your precious trading impacted by a change that favours pirates would be detrimental to your experience, wouldn't it? Fortunately, the mod doesn't cater to power traders.

Hello @Lythrilux ,
First of all i would like to clear some information since your message show a terrible miss-information.
I play lawful, unlawful and quasi lawful characters, I do care for traders and pirates interactions and vice versa.
You might know me by the Nickname "BMF|-Malmsteen" so i have no idea whom you mean by "Power Trading" here, but let me explain just in-case you was referring to me by power trading.
The BMF is Bretonia Mining and Fabrication, so we are not power traders, but we are miners, traders, fabricators, ships rental service and base builders. We also have a security wing for escort etc.
I hope that you didn't get offended by first reply when i asked not to follow your idea. It is simply my point of view and i mean no disrespect to you at all.
Thanks for reading and have a good day.

What if I told you that in some time periods in past gates had almost harmless weapons and pirates were camping them every day...and yet, obviously the game was not destroyed because we are still playing it...

Hello,
I understand your point of view, but i think that one of the normal situations is that the gates being defended by a heavy firepower, because simply if i am a pirate character, then i can camp with some pirate friends on both sides of the gates and start pirating everyone around easy since there is nothing firing at me, so it will be as if the pirate is camping at the middle of trade lanes, which gives the traders, miners, builders and civilians no protection at all on the trade lanes and the gate area. I see this unfair for the the non-pirate characters, and that's what i meant from my words. Thanks for the information, i am not that old on discovery to recognize the times when these gates were defenseless.

I have a question for you.
How often do you fly unlawful / pirate characters?

Sure, please ask any question anytime sir
I play unlawful characters for about 80% of my time i spent on the discovery RP server but lately focusing more on
quasi lawful and lawful, because i have less experience since i played less time for lawful characters.

Regards,
