Originally by: Kelmarra warped into egghelende and saw about 30 flashy reds. Was in an incursus...just lol'd and warped past them. Lowsec gatecamps = fail :(
I'm starting to realise this, at least for frigs. Luckily that's all I fly.
Frigs are the greatest...i just keep my bigger ships for spinning in the hangar when i get bored

This is way back in the day. Perhaps 3 years our alliance fleet of 150-200 ships was locked out of EC-P8R. Guarding the gate in EC-P8R was at least a 200 man strong fleet on the gate at all times. But this wasn't the crazy part. Inside EC-P8R, 25 KM from the gate, there were literally bubbles overlapping in a 360 degree sphere!
We were all alligned in a convy to jump to the gate to get in. Ships clustered everywhere. When zoomed out it look like a tube that spanned 500km. After 1.5 hours of waiting the FC said "Anyone who doesn't want to lose their ship, leave now. The rest of you, we're going in. Do not engage the enemy. Instead shoot the bubbles that would keep you from warping to the first planet. Warp there on the first oppertunity." We were fleet warped to the gate and all jumped immediately. The gate didn't just fire. It looked like a constant laser for a good 10 seconds. I can only imagine what the enemy was thinking on the other side.
I load up in my raven on the other side and it is a tense 20+ seconds as we wait for our whole fleet loaded the grid. The order went out to clear the road. And that is what we did. Bubbles popped as the blackbirds and Scorpions jammed the intercepters and tacklers. We never bothered tallying up our losses but it was estimated that 95% of our fleet made it through the blockade. My Raven made it through as well.
Once through the blockade our fleet did well to repel the enemy capital ships and kept them from taking out all of our POS's so we didn't lose soveregnty. This was the most majestic event I have ever experienced in EVE.

Most dangerous gatecamps are not biggest, although it can be awesome to see dozens of ships waiting for you to uncloak. However, gatecamps which utilize intel well, have skilled decloakers and enough bubblers, scramblers and instant damage are best/worst against small groups/soloers. Against fleets "DD gatecamp" is probably bad news. :)

Originally by: Lexa Hellfury This one time I jumped into a the united Hyperion, Nighthawk and Arazu gate camping in my Domi. I tried to get back to the gate but about 2 minutes in when it was clear that they weren't going to allow me back to the gate, I initiated self-destruct because it's lol the united.
In summary, after 2 minutes trying to get to the gate, then another 2 minutes of self destruct countdown, I still had 30% armor (cuz the united are skilled pee vee peeers) and went boom and lol'ed the whole way to Amarr.
Quoted because lol the united.

I jumped into about a 100 man fleet that was all around 15k from the gate with a bubble up. I managed to get away just fine with my rapier going about 4k/s cloak mwd. |

During the age of nano, jumped a stabber into N-RAEL, was like 10 ceptors on the gate, burned away like a champ while locking them up. Downed 2 of them as they were chasing me and warped off before the rest got in web range.
Of course I've had lol moments as well, me and a corpmate in 2005 jumping through 0.0, he says "lol never mind that blob on the map it will be gone by the time we get there" jump into system and we both die to 30 battleships. -----

Edited by: Cybele Lanier on 22/04/2009 19:22:46 Jumping while half-asleep, ignored the obvious noobscout on the outward gate, took a Sigil into a camp of two Tempests, a Zealot and 4-5 other ships. I'm quietly panicking and waiting for the cloak timer to run down, when they just....leave. No idea why, but I didn't hang around afterwards. --------------- ""Minimum collateral damage" and "Entire star system" do not belong in the same sentence." |

A six months ago or so, I think I was going from Bleak Lands to somewhere and didn't realize I was in Providence at first and we're very red to CVA. When I did realize where I was, I hadn't any choice but to continue. I figured in a covops I'd be fine. I couldn't tell you what system I was in, but I jumped in, warped to the next gate, and watched local spike up by about 40 pilots. There were three gates in system and CVA had them covered with inties, HICs, recons, and kitchen sinks in a matter of seconds. I come out of warp on a HIC bubble at my exit gate and see red everywhere.
There are inties burning around everywhere, I can't stay at the gate. So I warp back to a moon and wait a bit to see if things will clear. Nope. 50 local, 60 local, 70 local... I'm needed on an op, about 10 jumps away and stuck in system with Rabid Amarrians everywhere.
After about 20 minutes of this, I pick the gate with the fewest HICs on it (only 3) and warp in at 100, praying I don't bump uglies with the nearest interceptor when I land. And my luck holds, I'm far enough not to get sucked into the bubble. Since they don't have any long-range stuff, I slowboat it out of the flightpath and up above the gate at about 120km, then decloak and run straight away from the gate on MWD hoping for the inties to chase me. They do, except one. I recloak at just barely outside warp range and warp to the gate at 0. HIC stops me at 11km from the gate, decloak, MWD, shield gone, 2.7km, webbed, armor gone, jump range!, jump! OH hell, 6 or 7 jumped with me and I'm still in their space. After that it was running like mad with structure damage for the nearest high sec and finding another gatecamp at the last gate, but no HICs here. CVA chased me the entire way. Once I got into highsec I docked up because I needed a drink.
Corp op was boring as hell by comparison that night, but that's ok cause the journey is more important than the destination, right? ;) |

Edited by: Don ZOLA on 23/04/2009 02:07:01 Couple of years ago i was flying my good ol` jamming scorp and jumped in Rancer. As soon as i loaded my i saw plenty of outlaws around the gate, mostly in battleships and with one of the first motherships in the game at that time. All the names known from the "most wanted list", great eve pirates from the corps as Tundragon, Teddybears and Bone Collectors. Just mentioning their names made the bears shiver!
They had remote sensor boosted tackler (instalocker) scorpion right on the gate obviously remote repped and sensor boosted by the nyx pilot. Out of the sentry range was around 5 tempests, the best snipers back in the days with ridiculous alpha dmg, with couple of more sniping megas right next to them.
For sure the sight which means only one thing to innocent bypassers...the certain and unavoidable death! Luckily for me, I wasnt the innocent one so i just asked for gang invite and got in my position to guard the snipers.
P.S. "Copyright on this joke" is by someone i dont actually remember years ago in a similar topic. It was stronger then me, so i had to make the similar joke also :P
Edit: typos :/

Before I knew what nullsec was all about with its bubble camps and huge alliances and so forth, I jumped into some alliance's gate camp with my newb ship. There's a killmail out there somewhere showing my Reaper taking damage from Citadel torps

During the Trisurge war I was in RZR, I was scouting a hostile system in my rapier. We needed eyes on a gate I didn't have a bookmark off of so I warped at 100. I found myself much much closer in a bubble and my overview was chock full of hostiles. I paused to look around to see what I should do, as a hac orbiting the gate passed behind me 2,300m. I turned and aligned for a planet and as I moved out of the bubble I counted at least 10 ships less than 3,000m from me. As I warped out I decloaked.

"multi titan stupidity" allows you to get one force recon through that camp and open a bridge in the next system, then come back in and provide a warpin on the hostile snipers
alternatively, one force recon gets ~120 from all hostiles, opens cyno, titan jumps in, lots of pods jump out -+- let's break out the shotguns, we're going to town

Loving the stories here, I've jumped into a few 60+ man camps and escaping in a Taranis but that isn't anything special, however a few days ago, me and two other friends, 3 of us in Taranis's jumped into KBP, burned for a Lachesis 100k off gate and engaged
My scanner started filling up ( 20 + ) , when they landed I gang warped to a 200k spot off the gate, while most of the gang landed on the lachesis on 0, William DeMeo ( 1 of the guys in my gang ) was tackled by the lachesis
At this moment I was kicking my self for gang warping because we could of stayed behind to kill the lachesis, and we're going to lose william because of my coward decision, but he speed tanked the gang long enough to kill the lachesis, overloaded mwd and and got away in 15% structure, as I was cheering him on vent, it looked epic

oh, ages back (like 2 years) I was running to the north in a caracal... jumped through and saw a big bunch of frigs ceptors and cruisers... so I fired up me THREE! micro warp drives and soot off at something like 20KM/S it was awesome (only ran for about 30 sec... but got me well away from the camp enough that I could align and warpp out :P they didn't bother following me :P

i'm travelling from caldari space to minmatarr using shuttle, in the middle of route, jump into rancer system, gate is camp but i can easily warp to outbound, when near gate i saw a megathron, i thought not a real problem there, but when my warp drive stop and ready to jump i realize i'm in pod then next already in a new clone lol, check losses, that mega fitted with smartbomb.
Luckily not from minmatarr space back to caldari, when the cargo filled with bpo and skillboooks. Since then never travel through rancer they killed everything.

1. Region jump from Catch to Immensea into a UNL fleet with carrier/fighter support. This was prior to speed nerf. My phobos got back to the gate in low armor and jumped back through again. Hostile count 80+ 2. 300+ man Ushra-Khan/Star Fraction/Einherjar Rising Fleet in Providence. Together with 300 other fleet members. I ended losing my ship and getting my pod smartbombed by a Nyx mothership.. 3. 500 other instances where I was sure I was going to die, and most of the time did...

One day I decided I'm going to take my hurricane for a spin around low sec and see if there's anything I can kill. I jump from high sec to low sec and there you go, a single flashing brutix on the gate. I couldn't believe my luck and was so happy a target was presented so soon I didn't bother looking at local...I hit approach just as the rest of his flashy friends decide to show up, about 7 or 8 of them. Great, perfect timing. As I'm already in motion towards the brutix warping away would take too long so I try mwding to the gate. Thought I was gonna make it for a second as I was going 700m/s, until I got webbed by just about every one of them and slowed down to a snails pace. I died 3km from the gate :/ --------------------------------------------

By far the most dangerous gatecamp I've ever jumped into are the FS****camps in Tasti. The confidence I gained from pwning those nooblets has surely costed me many ships to people who don't actually suck. Yarr |

When I was new to null-sec (alright, I'm STILL new to null-sec) I ran through, and avoided, the typical camps. A dozen bored people staring at a gate, perhaps with a bubble, perhaps not. Yawn.
I decided to join a corporation. I contacted a few, picked one, and away I went to an office to submit an application. Well. Imagine my surprise when I enter my destination system, my overview loads, and I take a look around...
...I saw no less than 40 PODS at the gate.
Good lord. Welcome to null-sec.

One does not simply go through a gate camp...
On that note, I tend to die. If i jump into a camp or get into a situation looks like i have a 95% chance of death, i try to kill something and take them with me. Usually makes for more fun 9.5/10 times.
