another rant on things happening in open space incoming
i got few points to discuss:
first, every time i scratch a friendly npc and it happens to die of natural causes(being sexploded by a predator in 2 shots) i get criminal, drop some 50 karma(i get only 1 for a pirate or alien kill). also my tard drones start shooting the friendlies even more to make things worse for me(resets the criminal/agressor and nukes my karma by 50 for each killed friendly). hit can happen often for various reasons: splash from a weapon or missile, too big swarm of ships and the colors being similar and blending in the mass or simply the enemy flies close to a friendly and some bullets miss and hit the wrong ship. can you please do something about it like: if you dont do at least 20% of the total dmg you dont get criminal? its very irritating while trying to do the infamous escort missions and you fail it cause of this.
second, can the stupid predator be nerfed already? pick any of its combat characteristic and herf it by half. it doesnt really matter which you pick - speed, range, damage, resists, hp …
third, in relation to predators - the engy gate gets blown by 1 shot of a predator/ or to be specific even by the splash of a predator. hundreds of times already my ship just gets blown to bits cause the warp gate i just used is blown up by the SPLASH of the stupid predator that is shooting me. this splash is actually 200-300 m big from my observations. just give the gate more em resists in open space or make it invulnerable for the first 5 seconds when launched.
fourth, please fix the gate trigger. half the time it doesnt activate properly. this includes gates from the maps as well(in pvp or open space)
why would you put a gate and not use it to jump in the first place? also you cant reverse and jump or at least it wont work for me.
about the gate trigger: 2 times yesterday and 1 time so far today i use a gate with predators chasing me, i pass through the gate and i let go of mouse and keyboard 1-2 seconds before i go through it and guess what. ship waltzes through without it activating. and of course the damm predators with 400 speed killed me.

xxxx I misread, I thought he wanted the jumpgates (between sectors) to automatically activate when you fly through them!
To me they should jump you if you are facing forward vector and your centre passes through the circle.
Forward vector in that you are pointing forwards more than back as compared to the gate. I believe it already does this however it doesn’t recognise the ship sometimes especially when wobbling orv near the edge
