Random toon spam is better than random deployable spam.

Toon spam doesnt mean that toon is being actively looked at meaning hunters can slip thru, toon spam also means plex is required to omega it. So CCP either makes money directly from that toons sub, or the plex market is affected because plex has to be bought for it to be omega.

A simple deployable that just pings the person who deployed it is going to reduce hunting availability and reduce either money directly to ccp or reduce in game plex purchasing. While also giving an increase to botting.

I dont think so. Again, the only thing it would do is replace the bots that report people in intell channels.

Plex was the worst idea ever. ā€¦

But thats another thread.

FYI, question sentences end with a question mark (?)

And yes, random ā€˜toonsā€™ is better than another structure in space, at least random ā€˜toonā€™ can provide content for someone and even I they donā€™t ( staying docked ) itā€™s still better than your juvenile idea.

How would it not? It gives botters the literal perfect set up to prevent them from being discovered.

Deploy structure. Go bot.
Ping from structure. Bot command is to dock when ping is acquired.
Bot docks up.
Hunter passes thru system seeing just a single toon in system not in space. (Must be cloaked or docked) Carries on.
Bot undocks, resumes until next ping.

Now botters have a clear path to create even more bots cause its so much safer now.

How is that any different from a alt doing the same thing?

If it is an alt then the person is directly active in looking. If they arenā€™t then there is an easy chance a hunter will slip thru.

I have passed thru many nullsec systems before with single characters in them and still come across people mining/ratting. Alts donā€™t guarantee you safety like your stupid deployable would.

The alt doesnā€™t do the ā€œsameā€ thing. Alts donā€™t ping their owner and do have to undock once in a while, which bring content to a hunter.

^^ that too ^^

Do you really think that none of these ā€œscoutsā€ that perma sit in a system arnt using some sort of auto reporting command? You and I both know that is happening more often than not in nullsec.

if its an alt, most likely not because any thing that disrupts what the client can do, is against the rulesā€¦ if you happen to know someone is doing what you want to prevent, report them.

Absolutely :100:, but how do you know? Thats the hard part.

Hereā€™s a idea. What if you could only deploy this "gatekeeper " if you/alliance has sov in said system?

no no no no no

Ok why not? It would help secure your space would it not?

Just going to leave now because Grus will never understand why this is an awful idea. Nullsec carebears only care about being in absolute safety cause they cannot bare the thought of losing their ship and iskies.
