AFK cloaky and ess gates

Areas surounding ess gates on grid (not in the ess) should be warpable like any other area of space. someone whouslnt be bal to burn 5k km off the gate and sit there where combat probes wont let you jump to them. it goes against the emchnic intended to combat this which was the mobile obervatory. since now you have to burn 3 hours to reach them

I mean, thats a hint that its not worth killing them, so you move on and kill someone else no?

No because it closes off spae meant to be used. players doiing this are using something that’s a exploit otherwise

And how does this close off space to you? if they aren’t shooting you then ignore them and go shoot someone else, they aren’t harming you or preventing you from going to one of the other literal thousands of systems to get kills
