Was talking with a friend in game and he told me he was killed in his hauler on a gate in 0.4 sec by 1 player. How is it possible considering there are 1 or 2 gate guns in the area? |

Gate guns dont hit that hard.
any decently tanked ship can basically ignore them.
and your friends hauler likely had 0 tank, did it even have a prop mod?

It's not a good idea to ever jump into lowsec in a hauler without a scout to make sure the other side of the gate is clear first. |

This, a hauler should have a scout jump to everything before him while he waits in a secure location. (Hi sec border gate or a safe spot/orbital body in a low sec system.) |

A hauler is pretty much a one hit mate...2 or three with a decent tank.

Freighters die to ganks in hisec all the time, so a little hauler is easy to pop in lo-sec. |

True but not by just 1 pilot.
I think he was figuring the Gate gun would help him but apparently they are not that strong I gather.

You need only enough tank to survive gate guns (active shield works well). And considering haulers usually have tissue-paper tank it's just plain simple. I'll take 2 carebears to go, with extra tears |

Using a sniping spaceship, gate guns aren't even an issue... and hauler still pop in 1 hit. Twitter:-á-á-á-á@EVE_Tetsel-á-á-á@HereticArmy |

Wait, a ship got shot in lowsec? is that even possible?!?!?!?! This seems petition worthy, and definitely thread worthy. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Nevermind tanked BCs, you can kill a hauler with an AF or dessie pretty easily. |

Gate guns in this game are a laugh. Pretty stupid actually when you think about it. Could make gate fights more interesting as its often blobs camping gates... |
