Jump Gate Pulses

[Epo]

Yes, this thread again.

I'd like to bring the discussion back for a reason.

Gates to traders and small vessels:

As I think, pulses on jump gates were supposed to prevent pirate activity near gates, but they're actually doing more harm to traders than pirates themself. I can bring pirates hiding behind trader's ship making the gate shooting at the trader instead, or just NPCs appearing in the middle of nowhere forcing the gate to shoot at them (often ending in transport being shot as it's been in way of the projectile) What's more I'd like to bring all the small snubcraft that can get hurt because of those pulses, losing their nanobots for literally no purpose.

Gates against the piracy:

To be honest, I've seen as many pirates sitting at gates as in the middle of lanes. They just leave their ships in point-blank of the gate, leaving them enough time to intercept the trader and jump through if necessary (faster or slower, depending on used shiptype). And I'm typing that as a member of two trading factions. Gates doesn't really stop piracy around them.

tl : dr ==> Pulses on gates are harmful and should be removed. They're creating more problems for people they shouldn't

Discuss!
