This is a small message to any asipireing bombers who want to bomb UGTO.
I will not rebuild it, unless it is Sol. And you know what, I want to make sure no one else will rebuild it too.

Bombing is WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too easy right now for me to commend anyone for their leveling of planets.

or because as we see for a time Admin should remove MIRV and Telekinetic bomb so only population will be down and the who are tired to build shouldnt have to rebuild it all the time...

shipyard bombing isnt really going to stop most high players. They often have there garage filled with the ships that they use, and those can be spawned at there jumpgate. It just takes a little longer to get to the combat! (unless you use a WH)

I miss the game where it took a fleet of ships to cap a planet.

Well that cant be DS because you always were able to flatten planets with single ships (or two at most needed)

ohh kiddies
there was a time when it took skill to bomb , belive me , but then you cant stop evolution or progression , just a matter of POV .
but one thing is sure the world and DS can turn on its head again, as been done many times.
and i will still be lurking in the shadows

Assuming Nim, wulfi, sabotage and somethingfighter are not camping the ICC homegate with an interdictor waiting to pounce upon any ships near it.
I managed to catch seeing Nim on my nav screen in a dictor heading towards the ICC home gate. I saw another ship nearby too, wulfi. I was in Epsi at the time, decided to see if they were doing what I thoguht they were doing. Indeed I was correct. wulfi who was in detection range of our homegaet was bait, Nim and the others were waiting to jump anyone who gto near him.
This, in itself, is not a bad tactic, but STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM OUR HOMEGATE.

Report it if you see them doing it again. No one, the same faction or enemy faction, should be camping the safe zone.
The only reason its there, is because of an old bug that meant you spawned before the MV was fully loaded, and people would kill you could even see it.

I cant speak for nim or the other but i can back to that system after i saw one of the ugto planets was under attack as for being near ur gate its only caused i tracked you there and i made no motion to attack you or anyone else at the gate and when i was able to jump out I did.

Spawngatecamping is when you sit INSIDE the safezone of said gate, the safezone extends 1000 gu from the gate in either direction. No ships from any other faction are allowed in this zone but the one owning the gate.
If they have a bait waiting that means the bait is somewhere within 5000 gu range which is NOT spawngatecamping....
IF the dictor is used offensively the dictor must remain atleast 2000 gu from the gate as to not extend the dictorfield inside the safezone....
So basicly, if you see someone sitting still about 4000 gu from the jumpgate and you think its a trap, dont go there
