[Suggestion] Remove all extra channels on colony maps.
First and foremost I would not feel the need to suggest this if the game mechanics that have existed for eternity were not in play still. You cannot save a warp within 70m of a colony. Being able to swap from ch2 ch3 directly on the colony makes absolutely no sense. It removes tactics for defending colonies i.e choke points on certain maps. Instead of PvP being required to enter a colony, you now are automatically at the colony and don't have to sweat about fighting to get there. No one wants to PvP anymore because well why would you when you can simply swap channels with Aclla to ninja colonies.
Positive effects:
I'm eager to hear your thoughts. Colony War is a weekly PvP server event - channel swap tactics help negate that fact, so what's the argument for it?
Side note:
I went to all ten of the colonies and not a single family resided on any of the channel 1's (with scan map) except Katovic & Ustiur 1. Which, when I checked ch2 on both maps there was no one there. So it seems like one channel is all that's being farmed anyway.

Positive effects:
- The 70m warp restriction is no longer useless on colonies with more than one channel.
- Map layouts actually matter i.e. choke points on specific maps.
- Map layouts actually matter i.e. open colonies like Peril actually benefit the attacking side more as they can come from all directions.
- People actually need to PvP to get to colonies.
