Gate camps are getting a lot more common. ...2 of them have stilettos...

Talking about gatecamps, how well does hopping 100km away with a microjumpdrive and then warping off work against gatecamps?

Well you're in an NPC corp so that's a good start. You could probably put some rat resistances info in your bio and maybe fly a Gnosis. I think that would be enough to encourage them to shoot you.

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.

For people who camp the same gate day in day out, just add them to your contact list and see if they are online before jumping that gate. There's a guy who has done nothing but camp the same gate in Eszur for 3 years.

Can I put this in my bio

• Low sec population on the increase.
• Inexperienced pvp'ers trying out low sec gameplay.
• Said inexperienced players using numbers for safety while they learn the ropes.
• People still finding a reason to moan.

Nothing to see here, move along.

A general rule of lowsec is that the only acceptable increase in population is that of targets who do not fit their T1 ships with cloaks & MWDs or warp stabs, or anything else that might help them do what they want without getting caught, not those looking for targets.

Just quoting to add that orcas have the same issue as battleships regarding cloak/MWD. I'm almost sad i can't fit a MJD on it, but it wouldn't have the grid anyway

Bit of a derpy thread, but I'll straighten out the misinformation at least.

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 :)

One thing to keep in mind is that what may look like a gate camp to you might very well just be a roaming gang waiting to jump to the next system.

And for those who don't understand why I call these guys bears...they actively avoid actual fights and risk.

Why don't you assemble a fleet of like minded people and take the fight to these campers then if you want to destroy them so much? Could be fun for both sides.

yes well when everyone fights with "honor" or whatever those of us who don't tend to win

FTFY

E: Also, no cloaky fags farming in cov ops either because low-sec is only for industrials idiotically blundering into gate camps and gate campers.

Wtf is going on here? Where are these people coming from? How in the world is this profitable or fun for them? When I'm out getting some decent solo fights these guys are just manning these camps 24/7 and not even catching a fraction of their targets.

I actually read this whole thread.....and I don't like OP. if you head to 4chan they always call this type of OP a . . .

I'm one of those carebears that just recently started pvp, and yes we sit on gates for various reasons. But it's never officially a "gate camp"

A general rule of lowsec is that the only acceptable increase in population is that of targets, not those looking for targets.

Let me put it this way: when I see stupid players, I want to destroy them. I target miners for this reason, but miners are not armed. Its time to do something a bit more challenging. I regard these players as an enemy to eve due to their stupidity, but if I want to strike back at them I need to understand them.
