So this is great, and very popular atm. I've lost a pod and a ship so far. Good fun, i laughed all the way to the cloning facility. How about you give us a tool to avoid this fate, like say, a 200km warp-in, or the ability to abort warps when you see the rokhs on d-scan? I know, could be a can of worms. Anyway, suggestions people!

Uhm, what do you think of making some effort by either making those bookmarks for yoursel or buying them from someone ?
Or you could alternatively just fly a bigger ship

warp to a celestial within dscan range of the gate
point dscan at gate
press scan

again, too much work. a bigger ship will survive the smartbombers, but it will have a slower align making it less safe for gate camps.

- be in the local intel channel - have a scout and let him die - check map (F10) - avoid null-sec at all cost, as this is standard there with bubbles around

ok, so moving through low-sec should be a major schlepp, every gate should be checked meticulously before warping to it. making living in low-sec completely unpractical. thank you for your input.

The hint is in the name, low security. Say your idea is implemented, what would be the downside to it? there would have to be one or it removes a niche enjoyment because you cried. I've been smartbombed on a gate by a carrier (MH, you know the system) and it sucks balls but get over it and HTFU. Back in the day, you didn't even have warp to 0, those with the best instas prevailed, back when bouncing off a gate meant bouncing off a gate. You're not prepared to take precautions, why should there be a mechanic to help you?
All the tools are there, warp to 100, cloaks, d scan, celestials in range (not all the time), bookmarks. It is up to the player to survive using these tools. small ships will instapop along with your pod, so fly a bigger ship with istabs, warp core stabs. Overcome those that would kill you and smack in local as you jump out.

I have not smartbombed a gate in a while. You should try it and get at least one kill so you know what you are talking about.

last i checked, smartbombs don't extend 100km. warp to 100km and warp out right away. dscan works too. It really can't be that hard.

one of the biggest hints for you jumpers traveling long routes would be the statistics under star map. select pods killed last hour. plan routes accordingly

If you live in low-sec, you already have all the relevant gates bookmarked with proper 0m, 200+km, and 1,000,000km warps, making all of that easy as pie. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

If you aren't ready to dance, don't show up to the disco
Seriously, its low sec. Its not safe. This means you need to exercise caution. All the tools you need to do that exist. If you find using them too much effort, then perhaps low sec is not for you?

'Leet' PvP'ers at their finest. Only one step up from their neutral logistics on stations
There is no way to avoid it other than flying cruisers and up. Hop onto to the FoTM float and get yourself a nano-BC, there is always room for one more.

Show me where the nasty smartbomber touched you.
To the OP, looks like you'll have to work a little when travelling. Oh the humanity!

Warp to random celestial (off LOS from gate to gate), warp to gate and jump. You have now avoided smart bombing BS and bubbles.
Please feel free to donate a portion of the isk you have just saved on your new clone implants to my wallet.

So you want zero effort hundred percent no risk while the smartbomber has to do all the work?

I love how he's ignored every suggestion and explicitly said that he doesn't want to make any effort, he just wants nerfs. _________________________________

Welcome to EvE. People cry all the time because they are lazy. He already said he had to go 10-20 jumps and couldn't be bothered to scan.
I'd love to see him come to nullsec. Juicey. Lazy. Pinata.

Living in dangerous space means you have to take precautions to keep your ship.... Everything you need is already available, so adapt or parish...

I would like more smartbomb skills: 1. less cap use 2. increased range 3. increased damage
The easiest counter is to stay away.
