This is an idea that I would like to see discusses among the community/developers which I somewhat brought up in the [484] Metaverse discussion. This idea is for after 484 is finished.

Controllable Jumpgates
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If a faction controls a system in the MV, they gain control of all of the jumpgates positioned within that system, but only the side they control.
Let's say the ICC control a system. They now can use the jumpgates within that system. However, if they do not control the connected system they cannot go back through the gate. For example, if they controlled system A and used a jumpgate to get to system B controlled by UGTO, they could not use the jumpgate to get back. But, if they were to capture the system they could go back and forth between the two systems freely.
- Why do I feel this is a good idea/would work?
I feel like this would encourage more teamwork with long jumps into systems as well as a variety of ships including bombers/combat/supply/stations. Groups could either use long jumps, which would require supplies or use stations and stack WH's. Also, I feel this will eliminate the constant problem of people going straight for home systems, which has always been an issue.
Please give feedback/suggestions/comments.

As I said in my post, it will encourage more supply ships to be used. There is more to DS than individualism. Teamwork is supposed to be a part of the game.

i like this jg idea sort of needs reworking kind of sort of
I say perhaps if u make the next door system a contested instead of complete capture of said system it should allow travel back and forth but too only ur owned system. And for whenever MV sees a restart nuetrals would require long jumps perhaps, maybe maybe not, such a thing could stagnate the play.
I cant be quite sure about this but i think it was feralwulf back in 1481 was jumping back and forth between two systems in his suppy refilling all the empty vessels in space, twas fun too watch and laugh, of course me being stuck i had no choice but too watch, oh snap ive fallen off of topic.
G'day gents
