Border Battle in Deneb

Jun 25, 2011 draugath link
I'd like to suggest that the Border Battle in Deneb always be located at Deneb B-12. This will make getting back to this big, important(?) battle easier for the Serco, but positioning it on the Wormhole will also make it a true Border Battle.

Its a step in the right direction.

And BP forces should put any moth entered sector KOS.

Just in case you were confused, Pirren, I am referring to the massive border skirmish called the Border Battle, not the Border Patrol mission.

oh that was typing error.. BS it is

The original border skirmishes were in b12. One problem was that occasionally the cap ships would gank players as soon as they left the wormhole.. which wasn't fun at all. They don't go after players anymore though, right? So maybe that wouldn't be an issue anymore.

How often do people get killed when they run through a blockade?

Well, the Serco capships would obviously be positioned near the exit from the GR wormhole, and the Itani capships would be placed near the normal jump-in point for the sector, so i don't see how there could be any issues with ganking.

Often, spuck. Capgauss turrets pointed at a wormhole and within 2km can nail players pretty badly. Capship drift still occurs too, draug.

it's not to be easy. (its more frustrating than anything, running out of capships to kill with half the points left to take down, discussion, elsewhere) But having the hacs located near the respective jump in points will help.

Instead, I prefer a Serco beachhead there... like, dozen of Serco cappies, turrets, fighters, border patrol, etc... even one Serco station being built...

Any other border combat mission should be located elsewhere. Why not O-3, where Serco continuosly attack and retreat? Or the location of stations, like I-12?

(Why is there a mning station in frontlines of battle? If I was the Serco commanders, it would be my 1st target, to make it a Serco barracks!)

I support this as a temporary measure (until the stations become conquerable) on the condition that it can be managed without wormhole jump-in issues.
