Corey Fumimasa Kiith Paktu Curatores Veritatis Alliance 465	Posted - 2013.05.14 10:02:00 - [1] - Quote I was living in lowsec behind the Eve Gate for a long time and I noticed the same thing; lots more players, some doing lowsec indi others camping. It started to get crowded after Delve blew up last summer. I always just assumed that all the new faces were refugees. Although people that I talked to there claimed this wasn't the case. And I did indeed see some strange gate camps, they were setup more like null camps, but the pilots were not that good; no idea how to decloak someone and low DPS. They did manage to catch a procurer that I brought in to test the tank out. Maybe they are alts of miners or other highsec residents. -áKick ass soundtrack and Eve Pewpew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvc4KljpRGI

Disruptors don't block the microjump drive. If you can delay a scram for 10 seconds you can slip camps super easily with it. I actually need to try cloak + micro jump one of these days, as battleships are the only class of ship that can run into issues with cloak +MWD due to long align times on armor battleships. In theory the addition of the micro jump drive gave battleships a reliable way to slip gate camps. Lord knows every other class of ship has a way already. Which brings me back to my confusion. Cloak MWD is like 99.9% effective on any battle cruiser or smaller, so how do these camps still exist. Warp disruptors are a bit more common at gate camps; but there are guys that fit a scram, MWD Brutix being a notable example. A target breaker and heavy neuts will take care of most tackle and allow you to escape with the MJD. However that's a lot of button pushing in a stressful situation with only little time. I'm pretty certain that you cannot cloak while the MJD is spinning up. I experimented a bit with the idea of using the MJD to run camps and ultimately went back to the 100mn MWD/cloak with a couple of inertia stabs. I do fit the target breaker, you can get it to go off before the cloak disables it. This creates a bright flash that may cause the campers to pause if they haven't seen one, more likely however is that it makes their decloaking attempts more accurate =-P -áKick ass soundtrack and Eve Pewpew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvc4KljpRGI

I'm almost sad i can't fit a MJD on it, but it wouldn't have the grid anyway I have heard that an Orca can pull off the cloak mwd trick with only a very short target window on the end. Its something I would like to try out, but orca training/buying is really not on my todo list. Make yours as nimble as possible and fit the biggest mwd you can and try the cloak trick. If you need someone to try and lock you convo me, it is an experiment that I have wanted to do for quite sometime. -áKick ass soundtrack and Eve Pewpew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvc4KljpRGI

Activate MJD, cloak, reappear 100km away does work. You don't even need the tech 2 cloak for it since there's no reliance on being at 75% speed to warp. Enjoy :) You must walk right through gate camps with that set up! You should run Gonditsa. -áKick ass soundtrack and Eve Pewpew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvc4KljpRGI

I bet CCP likes them to. Maybe the jump in radius should be reduced to 10000 since mwd/cloak is too effective. And all the empires be separated by lowsec strips. -áKick ass soundtrack and Eve Pewpew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvc4KljpRGI
