so, what reasons are there against locking alaska down completely. - i could live with it, but then i don t use it - i am am hardly objective about that issue. one could add a jumphole from the guard system of the navy to a FAR away place in alaska ... so that you CAN go from NY to alaka without the gate, but you don t get a time advantage at all, cause you ll have to fly through 150k of iceshards to get to another jumphole to minor.
