If you travel warp to zero from gate to gate in lowsec in a frigate, what are the chances to be tackled? |

It really depends. If they have a fast locking ship you may still get tackled, but the only way to find out is to go for it. |

In a frigate, you'll be safe 95% of the time, in anything bigger not so much.
But, using the in game map, and checking ships killed in the last hour, you can hopefully isolate systems where organized gate camps are active and take another route. |

Nanofiber internal structures. They improve your align time and speed, allowing you to get into warp faster. The downside is that they make your ship a "wee" bit more fragile.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

If there is a smartbomber at the gate, the only real defense is avoidance. You can warp at range to see if there's a battleship stooging around the gate, and then bounce off a celestial, perhaps approaching from a direction such that the gate is between you and the smartbomber (thus hopefully increasing your range from the smartbomber so he can't hit you), or perhaps gambling that you'll land and jump before he triggers the smartbombs - though if he's running the smartbombs constantly, you're just rolling the dice that you can decel out of warp and jump the gate between smartbomb cycles.
Most reliable tactic: plan an alternate route through another gate.

Excuse me if this appears as a double post.
Can you please explain this statement as I don't understand the meaning.
I have also been told to use scan 360 degrees constantly but the people who intent to kill me don't appear as red crosses.
Is there an indication when I am targeted or scanned?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance. |

As far as I know only NPC's show up as crosses in the Overview.
You can tell if someone targets you because in your overview a flashing box appears in the item column.

Usually someone targeting you will have yellow brackets "[" "]" in the overview. (Flashing will they acquire the lock)
However, there is a module that allows someone to target you unnoticed. A ship that is a dedicated scanner will have that module.
Also, there is an animation when someone is using a scanner, but it's so faint that it's almost impossible to notice. (I barely notice it when using my own scanner.) |

It is possible to be tackled in a frigate. It is, however, highly unlikely. If it isnt a busy gate system you probably will have little to worry about. |

Low sec gates are pretty safe because they dont have bubbles...only problem is that casual instalock tornado that will pop your frigate before you can even press the warp button.

Uhm...sorry to bust your bubble, but if you don't do anything, you hold gate cloak for 60 seconds.
If you drop gate cloak and still haven't made a decision to either warp out or burst back to gate. You should die.

Nobody said anything about staying asleep in gate...If you move you will loose your cloak...if your ship cant warp out and align faster than the time it takes them lock you...you are dead...

Wait till they get bored. Really the only thing you can do. |

Make an alt on the same account that only has enough skills to fly a cheap-o frigate. When this happens log him on and fly him to the system, lead them on a chase, log that out and go back to the hauler when they are away from the station and go for it. It may not work everytime but other than sitting there waiting it's something to try. |

Depends entirely on how competent those wanting to tackle you are.
If they're very good, doesn't matter what ship or mods you've got fitted, they'll have you tackled & popped before you know what is going on! Luckily for you though, these types of camps are extremely rare as most people will fail miserably when trying to pull it off 
Best bit of advice though is use a travel fit - that normally means fitting for super fast align / warp times on frigate size ships. Anything bigger, then the cloak / MWD / uncloak / warp trick will work 90% of the time.
Again, the more incompetent the gate camp, the more chance you'll have of getting away

Log off. Do something else. Wait till they get bored and move on. Log back in and fly out.
But best solution. Dont get into such a situation....
What helps is put the guys on a watchlist of an alt you have and play around with that character and watch them log off.

Do not warp from gate to gate, and you should be absolutely fine.
When you jump into a system, and the start gate is clear, look at your overview. Do you see a plant that has the same distance in AU as the stargate? Warp to the planet and an arbitrary range, and use your directional scanner to scan the gate. If it is clear, warp to it and jump through.
Jumping into the system should then be the only point of danger. You don't know what is on the other side. One way to minimise the risk is to use a noob alt in a rookie ship or a shuttle to jump in ahead of you. But then you would need two accounts. |
