just remove the safe zone
Just give the jump gate WEAPONS
8 CL1k (point defence only)
12 IT missiles
6 AR missiles (PSI for k'luth)
3 PCM
2 ECCM
1 scanner
that would solve the problem
count ins 32
hope you like it (points to faustus)

Remove PCMs and the Scanner, give it four Reactor 1500's.
Unless you WANT it to only have energy for one salvo.

Your assuming it would have the energy of, say, a dreadnought. If it was given unlimited energy then it wouldn't have any problems now would it?
And its a bad idea because it would again allow a sizeable fleet to camp jump gates again paticulary the ICC with Pulse weapons or K'luth with ECM in special slots.

ok we can give it infinite energy and we can give it a area signature effect of 25 sig (would solve the gate camping even if it is not alowed)
i just like to see this hapen 
why than you may not have that of hiding in safe zones anyy more
+ the real pain in the ass would be for anny one
#Fir3T0n3[NL] //Retarted\ has been destroyd by ICC home gate

Ok...
So it will allow large fleets to once again camp home gates, paticulary ICC with Pulse weapons and K'luth with ECM in special slots.
That changes it how?

I believe this has been suggested once every few months... so I went back and found an answer from someone who knows...

Bummer, due to the way that the jumpgates are created in the engine I can't put weapons on them... |

Nimby actually had the idea to put weapons on them 2 years ago.. but it doesn't work. Sorry...

Ah yes... the this idea, I remember back in beta that this was an idea Nimby and Faustus had, but sorry, gates are not made to support weapons  (they wanted to give them something like cl5000

You know this is a moot point with the patch. Jumpgates only allow frigates, scouts, and transports to spawn there. For every ship destroyer or larger, including supply, you need a shipyard.
So as long as that faction under attack in it's home system has at least one functioning shipyard, it won't be coming from it's jumpgate. And if it is forced to use it's jumpgate, it's already defeated.
It's the SHIPYARD planets that you need to capture and/or camp after the patch, the jumpgate poses no threat.
I wanna get people to start thinking about how the game's gonna be after the patch It's not that far off now.
EDIT: Oh, if you're also talking about camping scenario home gates, again, if that enemy loses it's last shipyard and is forced to spawn at it's jumpgate, it's already defeated. In fact, I'd wager that a faction with no shipyard that has it's jumpgate camped by destroyers, cruisers, and dreads would just log off.
It will be best for the fun of the game in FA to leave at one shipyard remaining for the enemy, or you will find yourself in a boring game with no action. Watch and see, when it happens you'll remember what I said! "ahh Sparkle was right! Taking their last shipyard and not letting them get a new one DOES make this very boring!"

Energy is generated by engines and reactors.
There is no "infinate energy" toggle.
Just keep that in mind with configuration ideas. No biggie.
We were informed some time ago that the jumpgate object cannot be given weapons. Some quirk in the code. Now, this may have changed in amungst the many other changes involving shipyards and the general v.1481 update. You would have to ask Faustus about that.
Eventually, the hope is that planets with shipyards will also, by their nature, be very well armed worlds. This will essentially create the guarded jumpgate idea you are thinking of.
I have no comments on the plans for inter-system jumpgates at this time.
