Darkerz	Posted - 2008.08.01 18:24:00 - [1] ok on monday im gonna go down to 0.0 for the first time... so i wanted to ask a few questions 1st. How long does it take from the time you move to the time the gate cloak fully comes off and you can engage your own cloak. 2nd. how long does the gate cloak last ? 3rd. How easy is to tank sentrys ( not for me just to know how long the pirate or whatever thats gonna kill me last..)

As for how easy to tank them, Most battleships will be tanking them and pumping out DPS for a good few minutes until their cap boosters run out, by which time you should be dead since in Low-sec, solo-gatecamping is near non-existant. edit: fixed grammar error --- Sig Starts Here --- Lord Haur - Imperial Academy Logistical Support

How easy is to tank sentrys ( not for me just to know how long the pirate or whatever thats gonna kill me last..) 1) instantly, don't "believe" the (de)cloaking graphics, works the other way round too, if you have a cloak fitted you cloak but will still show up on overview for about 2 seconds, but according to gamemechanics you're already cloaked. 2)60 seconds 3) depends on the ship, sub cruiser mere seconds, plated cruiser 10-20 seconds, BC 30 seconds or more. CS and BS can permatank em.

How easy is to tank sentrys ( not for me just to know how long the pirate or whatever thats gonna kill me last..) 1)In theory, you can use your cloak right away. Sometimes there's a bit of lag, though, and you'll get the "unable to cloak" message... so keep an eye out for that. 2) Pretty sure it's 60 seconds. You can always break that early by moving, and engaging your own cloak. 3) In 0.0 there are no Gate Sentry guns. It's lawless space. Also, in 0.0 hostile pilots can deploy "bubbles" (either permanent or temporary) which shut down your warpdrive if you are within the sphere. Very nerve-wracking experience, jumping into a bubble, the first few times. Gate Sentry guns will be in lo-sec, on the way to 0.0 .
Darkerz	Posted - 2008.08.02 17:10:00 - [6] yea i know about the bubbles and i was talking about lowsec... because u cant just get from 0.5 to 0.0 right away :P

That's one of probably a few direct jumps between hi-sec and 0.0. Admittedly, the other side will normally be camped to hell, but doesn't mean it's not possible :) --- Sig Starts Here --- Lord Haur - Imperial Academy Logistical Support
