They still have to uncloak you yes, but I would advise people to do off grid instra undocks.
We took out some werposts on gates, but the result was actually worse.
Iām not sure small stuff (including pods) getting instalocked by stuff that would normally be blapped by sentries or faction police/Concord - once spawned - counts as āall the important waysā.
That being said - itās early days. Thereās no point forming dramatic opinions about these things until the dust settles and things shake out a bit. It could end up being āa bad thingā, it might not be. Itās a new experience at least.
In terms of autopilot still considering it high sec - it comes up as a red triangle for me, and you get a warning (unless suppressed) about the fact there is no protection inside. That seems like enough to me, unless youāre a bit slow.
You can clean whole system of the werposts. They come again after some time. We did it in Inaya.
Cant flip system back from minor trig victory to edencom. Everything works in one direction only. To make the high sec more PITA. BLEH!

There was one werpost on each gate. What actually happened is that the response fleet sat on the gates until the next DT and then within a couple of days one gate ended up with three werposts. I was like, hmmm, not doing that againā¦
We are constantly seeing posts about how many more high sec people there are as compared to null. So you should have easily formed many more fleets than a single group in null (one that is at the same time being attacked by every other group in null).
Your numbers should have been so high that our fleets would be unable to function due to heavy TiDi.
What an odd assumption to make.
How many systems in hisec? What is the average number of people in each system in hisec. What is the average corp size in hisec, what is the average alliance size in hisec. It was still early days from the war dec changes when this started to happen and corps and alliances are still only just growing bigger and developing coalitions, but it takes time It is like suggesting that all the cats on the planet will get together to kill a wolf pack in Alaska.
The heavy lifting on invasions by players against Edencom is mainly done by lowsec PvP players, and donāt forget that they beat the Goons in the early stages of the first world war bee.

It is not about the numbers. The fleet composed of people who are first time in a fleet and fly suboptimal ships its all really stressing for FC. Majority of those people doesnt even know whats going on in system till they lose ship to trigs or edencom.

Niarja falling to Triangles is an exciting experiment. I acknowledge CCPās brave decision to let it happen and give the outcome into players hands.
Since my very early days in EVE I could not understand why a more than 70 jumps wide EVE universum has the two major trade hubs not more than 9 jumps away from each other.
Itās still 9 jumps, nothing changed in this respect. However, there is a new chance to develop a second center of trade and welfare - itās a bit like 1496 landing in the New World.
It is in players hands to develop Amarr into a Metropolis or to run it down to rural village status.
What I read in this enormous thread is what is in players heads.
Looking forward if either fear or zest for action will materialise.

No, Iām not going to start shooting rats in hisec, something I havenāt done in over ten years and which is about the most boring, unrewarding and useless activity in this game I can imagine. Not everyone who uses hisec and has an interest in its trade routes, lives there, let alone rats there.
Fighting for hisec and shooting npcās in hisec are two different things. No matter what happens, Iāll certainly never go back to ratting in hisec, and CCP shouldnāt force anyone to do that. In fact nobody should ever be forced to do pve to influence game-altering developments. Forcing people to do pvp is fine, but not pve.
Thats what I am planning to do, I have few games to finish. I may log in from time to time tho, to tell people they should stop running around how CCP tells them.

It is fair, because itās equally unfair for everyone.
This is no āchallengeā,this is a try of ccp to kill all pveā¦
This game will become a ftp standard game with golden ammo and āspecial shipsā in the shop where you will buy all the good stuff for real moneyā¦sp for real money only was a test balloon and the beginningā¦
Thx to the korean overlordsā¦
Look at black desert online and you will see the future of eveā¦
But ātime changes thingsā hm?
People you all havenāt really realized how muchā¦
The transition to a F2P micro-transaction based game happened way before the Pearl Abyss acquisition.
But yes, letās keep this narrative going cause āAsians bad mākayā, instead of actually properly assigning blame to CCP themselves.

Sry for shooting you out of the saddle dear friend but do you REALLY think the negotiations for PA to take over CCP just started 5 minutes before it was publishedā¦?
I BET a condition for the takeover from PA was to āprepare the customers to what they plan for the gameāā¦this is called thinking aheadā¦a not well known skill these days i knowā¦
Dude this is called ābuisnessā and not āleft wing tirade clubāā¦
What has buisness to do with your fear for asians? 
You have very little understanding of business, if you think PA threw resources into controlling CCP before the acquisition. CCP have been sowing the seeds for micro-transactions since the skill trading changes. Itās a long time to spend capital on a company you donāt even own.
Iām just pointing out your clear racism, since CCP have been doing this to themselves, yet you blame it on the Koreans, cause āasians are badā.

Well first of all āasians are badā came from you not meā¦
Secondly who says something about āresourcesā?
All i said is that PA made conditions for the takeoverā¦which is a totally normal buisness agreement.

Darlo, stop it please.
Why so bothered, I mean I have put over eleven years in this game, I have tried various parts of the game and I still find enjoyment with it, I have played quite a few games and this one keeps my attention more than most.
If you keep screaming Koreans bad and PA are destroying this game then you ruin it for yourself, I donāt see anything that knocks my socks off at all, gold ammo will, if that happens I am out period.
In fact I think CCP deliberately making it harder to farm and create ISK and assets is needed because so many players including myself are sitting back on large wads of ISK and assets so it means I donāt bother doing a lot of content. This is not good. In fact what CCP has been doing is making an effort on that part and it is not just hisec. Donāt forget that the spawn rate for nullsec went down too and the roids reduced massively.
You will call this making people buy plex for ISK, and that will happen, but the massive amount of ISK and assets in the game do have a paralysing affect and need to be worked out of the system.
CCP are doing a very difficult job, so think about it a bit and stop being so damn strident. You come over as bad as some of the most rabid HTFU players.
This is not a personal attack by the way, but an attempt to make you see reason. This is the second time today that I have jumped in and tried to explain to someone not to act like this. Step back, chill out.
PS Donāt react to this:
It is dare I say it, an idiotic statement designed to make you over react.

It did come from you.
The sentiment of that sentence is that, because of the Korean owners, the game is going in the direction of F2P micro-transactions. If it had nothing to do with ethnicity, then why mention Korean here? Why not just write āThx to Pearl Abyssā?
I can tolerate your semi-trolling, but Iām going to draw the line at racism.

So you think the racism is all fine and dandy?
