Really getting tired of the constant abuse of the spawning gates, or the exploiting the game mechanics. In and out of the gate with different ships, carrier launch fighters back in come out in the carrier again and launch more fighters in and then out with a combat dread, over and over and over, camping at the gate and exploiting the game mechanics any way you can.
ROC regarding: Exploitation
The simplest definition is "playing the game system instead of playing the game". Also, playing the game in ways it is not meant to be played for any form of personal gain, be it in-game resources or entertainment value.
Talking about a few that do this, over and over and over.
Ok maybe they should move the spawn gates away far far away from any planet, that would solve a major part of it.

Here's the problem with calling it abuse...
The gates you are referring to are not used for travel, which means that the camping is not restrictive. If you CHOOSE to jump to the gate that is being camped and die, and choose to call it abuse, that is your own fault, no one else's.
The only way I see it as being a game-ruining issue is if all three are being camped at the same time, which (if you have no shipyards) basically prevents all access to the MV.
I do agree, however, that this camping is only for personal gain and an exploitation of a game mechanic, but with a SIMPLE solution:
Don't feed the exploiters the prestige they crave by jumping to them simply because they are there. That way, all that happens is that they sit there hoping some fly will get caught in their web for 3 hours and hopefully realize that just playing the game like it should be played is much more rewarding.

There's a command to report things like this.
It's called /report.
