.... AND KEPT YOUR SHIP?
Today, a fleet of around 20-25 flashy pirates were gatecamping at the Nourv. gate in Tama. I jumped right into it with my Thrasher carrying the advanced learning skillbooks (18 mil value, not much but I didn't want to make the 5 jumps again just for the skillbooks...). A couple had me targeted as I was aligning to the station, but I got to warp away!
It was kinda scary, though - it was my first gatecamp experience as the victim/prey.

KBP- in Prov, on the way home from a roam. Bubbles everywhere, damn near every sub-cap shipclass in the game represented and approx 30 on gate.
I land on the edge of a bubble, in a pod, burn out of it and warp to a safe

When I was a noob I jumped into a system near rancer and lo, gatecamp. I figured my ishkur could warp before they could lock me no problem. WRONG. Remote sensor boosted HAC > me. Had an AB on it since it was fit for PVE, but I still managed to burn back to the gate and jump out... at less than half structure. I was pretty happy.

Jumping into M-0 during MAX, or one of the times I was scouting and jumped into 250 or so GBCers probably takes it. Jumping into HED with DDs already set off isn't even that bad compared. I can't seem to lose ships to gatecamps though, too religious with BMs and good cloaky practice.

A while back when we finished some op or another, I was in my Arazu (in a very nice, er- expensive- fit), and after things broke up I set an autopilot destination to another system fairly distant, as we were moving to another contract area. I was jawing on Vent with my corpmates, doing the engage-warp, cloak, arrive on gate, jump, repeat thing. Didn't pay much attention to the route I'd chosen. We had been in Empire for the previous contract, no 0.0 work.
And then I hit jump, session changed and my stomach dropped to my balls as I saw not one, not two, but (I think) five bubbles on the gate, mostly sling bubbles with one on the gate itself, which of course I was smack in the middle of. I fought down the panic and looked at the system.
HED-GP.
And there were a lot of people there. To be honest I don't recall the specifics (I had been drinking somewhat heavily that evening) of who/what was there, but I very distinctly remember saying "Oh ****, I just jumped into HED-GP!" Followed by explosions of laughter on Vent at my idiocy.
Now the choice was, burn back or go on? Going on meant two other 0.0 regions on the way, but was about twice as fast given how far I'd come. I burned out of the bubble under cloak, avoiding the pilots trying to find/decloak me, and in the end, made it back to Empire in one piece.

Originally by: Jimer Lins story
I remember that!
My biggest camp was while I fly flying my interceptor.
We were on contract with TCF and weren't having too much luck finding anything more than the occasional straggler so our gang waited while I scouted out some low-sec systems close to Nonni. There's on system there that's a dead end, and we had seen a few war targets logged in around that area so that would be my destination.
As I made my way through Aunenen and the other systems, I noticed increasing amounts of TCF in local. First 1, then 3, then 4 etc. There were 6 or so in the system before my destination.
I jumped in, and I'm looking at local. 46 pilots. I quickly scroll through the list. I am the only person on that list who does not have a red star. I also very quickly notice that everyone who is in system, is also sitting on the gate. The same one I'm about to decloak at.
I let out an "oh ****" over vent, and everyone goes quiet to find out what happens next.
In my haste, I click to reapproach and hit my MWD. I bounce off the gate, and am frantically clicking approach and jump as parts of the enemy fleet begin to blink with orange outlines.
I start taking damage, and with low armour on my Raptor I manage to jump out. The TCF I'd previously seen in the various systems before had setup camps on each of their gates for me, so I flew through as quickly as possible and managed to make it back to our temporary base before I took my shaking self to grab a few beers -_-

What are blockade runners? I keep seeing wrecks with the name Blockade Runner Wreck and people mentioning them, but never knew what they were.

Blockade runners are one type of T2 industrial (the other being Transport Ships). Blockade Runners tend to be fast-aligning, have moderate cargo (around 6-7K) and can use covert ops cloaking devices, making them damn near as hard to catch as covops or cloaky recons. The other T2 industrial is the Transport Ship, which is able to carry much more cargo and has a much better tank, but is really not very useful in 0.0 due to bubbles. In empire, they're made of awesome because it's pretty impractical to suicide gank one.

Edited by: Ralara on 21/04/2009 04:28:02 Back when I was in Tri and BoB was invading the North (start of Max I think) I was in MM space trying to get out. I hadn't read any of the intel channels and was in a buzzard - HG crystals, no cargo.
Jumped into a system - 300 in local, about 10-20 large bubbles around the gate and hundreds of ships, fighters and drones were on the gate.
I was sure I was dead. But I tried to get out. Sure enough, after about 15 minutes of manually flying around, I got out and warped to 0 to the outbound.
Landed smack on the edge of a similar camp on the other side of the gate -.-
Got through it though, slowly. This one was more hairy. Stupid Morsus Mihi!
As I jumped out and session changed, I found I was in ANOTHER CAMP, this time by BoB.
Same deal.
But I got through it \o/ 45 minutes of travelling and I was almost free.
Warped to the next gate and got dragged 70km off by a small bubble. Only about 10 ships this time. I landed 2800 meters from a ship waiting to decloak people. Slow boated back to to the gate. This was a low sec gate \o/
Got through. Saved my implants and dodged about 450 people in total in 4 separate camps.
Fun times. --

I jumped in to a gate camp once, but it was only Req and his fail friends, so I just warped away.

While roaming cloud ring with some corp mates we ran into a gate camp with two AFs and a cloaked titan. DDs are pretty.

I routinely jump into gate camps. In a ceptor it's more amusing than anything, if you've got your wits about you.

I've been pootling about low sec much more since I got my cov-ops cloak but before that I jumped my Magnate in to a medium size fleet sat on the gate, uhhh lets see what we have here... about 50 sparkling (sensor boosting) frigs and cruisers and a couple of BS all sat on the gate. I just crossed my fingers they were about to jump. I don't mind losing ships but it's still quite an unnerving experience to think this could be it.. Thankfully they all jumped out after about 20 seconds allowing me to gtfo with no problems.
With a cov-ops it's cake. Going to have to try 0.0 now ^_____^

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.

I once jumped into Atlar (0.4) from gelfiven in a drake.
There were about 15 flash reds on gate... knowing I wouldn't be able to warp out I pressed approach on the gate and hurried my way back with my mwd on.
I jumped out with about 40% shield left.
yay for drakes \o/ __________________________________________________

ok to be back on topic back when we had w15- I was in a travel frig - which meant I could travel in high sec. One low sec gate later I had abour 4-5 frigs chasing me - I was flasy red then so They must have though following me as I jump was cool - high sec I warp to station -> they lost there ships - I lol'd (as most of us flashy red have at some point done the same)

I'm starting to realise this, at least for frigs. Luckily that's all I fly.
