I'm going to side with Froggy on this one.
You either fix a bug and balance on a clean slate or refine the bug into a feature and balance around that.
Balancing around a bug just isn't an option.(Well, ok it is, but it's a bad one)

So your quiting because of a bug that has been around for 5 years, OK cut down on the drama flakes.

It's because when something goes through an aleph, it's signature is automatically raised becuase of the quantum hiccup that occurs when the wormhole is entered. Basically, for a few moments, your ship assumes a quantum state that has a certain amount of signature which may be visible to the entire sector. After the teleport is complete, your state stabilizes, and your ship regains its previous signature. Unfortunately, this signature-jump is one of the drawbacks of alephs and teleports.
See, not a bug. Problem solved.

i concur, shouldn't an aleph show signs of change, and possibly, shouldn't your ship need temporary shielding to provide a safe passage through what is basically a "tear" in space time? /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

That's right, all ships come with navigational shields in addition to the standard ss/ms/ls, you only notice it though if you're going through the aleph. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Getting killed like that is the reward for camping an aleph... a task which otherwise would prove useless if you couldn't be eyed unless you got to 40 m away from you.
Find another aleph, find a diversion, etc. There's a player compromised in camping that aleph. Make another player get compromised in diverting him.

Camping alephs would still make sense, it's still a single chokepoint by which enemies must travel to go inside of a sector. It's a crappy bug that deserves fixing. You're just making excuses if you need a crutch like that bug to help you camp an aleph.

Eh? If you are not camping an aleph in scouts against SBs, you deserve to get pwned. When did camping an aleph with ints become a valid and working tactic? Oh wait...
