Battleships outside NL are acceptable.
Battleship patrols outside BAF battleship in Cambridge are not.
NPC gunboats spawning right at O3 gate in Cambridge are absolutely cancerous.
As I said, the easiest solution is removing the guns. Reducing the range entails adding a new gun and changing the loadout. Increasing lane HP won't work as lanes have shield type HP, meaning you'd never be able to down them without having a bunch of cruiser pulses mounted. Moving the gates away creates economy issues and is a ton of work per system, etc etc.
Yes, but even with NPCs adjusted to what they should be, lanes still are bugged, and are too close to the gates. Sooner or later, moving them away from the gates should be done.
Removing the pulses should fix part of it.
If cap-piracy and cap-instakilling gets a big boost (which I don't expect), ways could be found to deal with that. Pulses on gates were meant to deter caps from sitting directly there, and I think that even worked, but pulses shooting out lanes and instaing the shields on snubs when you jump in is rather annoying.

The easiest solution would be to take the pulses off of gates, but I'm guessing there's some group which can effectively lobby for that not to happen either. Yawn.
Pretty much this. Gates having battleship pulses is absurd.
The irony is that while they're supposed to deter caps, it's snubs that suffer. A cruiser has time to fly into the gate, out of the arcs, but a snub that jumps in will lose bots before even getting control of their ship. Ridiculous.

Who cares! It is just a little difference.
An increase travel time, lower cr/s, and must be compensated for with a complete rebalance. A lot of work.
Why should it be balanced over again? 1k of travel time will not make your dongle fall off.

Do you really care if the precious travel time goes down by a tiny bit? Because I dont. literally it will be a small difference that you wont even notice.
