Hereby I reiterate on the impellent necessity of freeing more minds before the ever more lasting DT thus the urge to have a jabber channel for the truer goonerd. Call it Goonix, call it Pengoons, call it /dev/goon then call me back and I'll toss my Nag and my F1 foo in the next keepstar brawl. For the greater cause of the Free Union of Delvistan!

I mean, outside of the time it takes for going gate to gate, what is the point? A blockade runner has basically zero risk outside of nullsec.

That stupid email everyone got this morning with the Triglav logo just links to CCP's twitch where they're showing a camera orbiting around an offline stargate in Providence. Uh... great?

edit: it's the F9E-KX gate in D-GTMI, which according to DotLan is the region gate between Provi and Catch. CCP using Triglavs to gently caress with regional map connections, C/D?

People will roll the dice on a BR, and will occasionally anchor cans around a gate to accomplish this.

That guy did and won.

I'm pretty sure the gates are shutting down (no light cloud thing in the middle anymore) before coming back on 15 - 20 minutes later.

Information is 1000x more valuable when moving expensive poo poo that any fancy ship. Always have a scout 1-2 jump ahead of you in a shuttle. Also move it during a time of day when people are not typically logged on.

I would like to imagine there's someone at a home office somewhere just sort of flicking a light switch and making ghost noises, and that's why the gates are going up and down.

Of course! Though the PvP might come to your doorstep as we are currently under siege by the mighty Snake Alliance. If you want to make ships send me an Eve mail when you get in and I'll give you all the blueprint copies you want.

Now I'm no strategerist, but if I was in trouser snek command and I knew CCP was shutting off gates sometime, I'd have logged off a freighter with a keepstar in it and try to anchor it when the gates were offline and attention was elsewhere...

From the looks of it, the gates only go offline for a minute or two. This is basically a network wide disruption due to the effects of Triglavian held systems. Once those systems are cut off, the flickering will stop.

Not sure if as the day progresses, the gates will flicker off for longer periods.

If they were willing to take a risk, they would have tried to get one anchored this morning so it would repair during the extended downtime tomorrow. However, they are neither smart nor known for taking risks. And of course we were looking for them trying to do just that because we play chess while they are over there wiping boogers on their coloring paper and calling it checkers.

So they did nothing.

Looks like any future keepstar drops they'll have to do the core poo poo.

It's only an exploit to the extent you do it enough to cause lag, a very "eye of the beholder" thing.
