Well I stand corrected, I thought you were talking about exit-gates. Though in the case of a gatecamper on an entry-gate, you were fucked most times even before these current changes. With the amount of boosters gatecampers fit, the difference in locking time will be neglible.

Pointless. A sensor booster will negate the lock time penalty so what exactly does this accomplish?

Well it increases the sig radius of the target(and forces you to fit a sensor booster as a mid-slot mod), but really it just seems poorly thought out at the moment.
 
Actually, according to the eve-o forums it looks like the penalty is now targetting range and scan res. Looks like they ditched the signature penalty idea. :)

lol, that good since it won't hurt Indys, but now they're basically turning the sensor booster in to a must-have item, so nothing is really changing.
 
Well, it does mean that fitting a stab takes a mid and low slot. They'd have to fit an extra sensor booster if they already had one on. If they fully stack, they will kill setups I think. I personally carry 4 points when scouting, so any ship that's got 4 stabs on will take a year to target anybody, meaning he's completely gimped.

This is only partially true. If the negative effects of a WCS stack without a penelty, then 4 WCSs would only take 2 SB 2's to counter, bringing the ship roughly back up to what it was at. It means that it won't be able to lock any better than where it started(so this would hurt sniping a lot), but a HAC that doesn't normally run SBs will still be a solopwnmobile with just 2 fewer mid slots to use for damage mods.
