Who hasn't experienced it, you try to scramble someone, and click a gate instead. 
CCP please make gates unlockable.

 I would suggest you sort your overview, making sure gates are not showing and use that to target, dont forget, for you newer players u just need to hold ctrl and left click on what you want to lock in overview, afaik.

Gates are big, if i click a scrambler or something so i get the crossmark and then intend to click my target manually not on the overview. often if i miss by a bit i lock the gate and get a warning sign, meanwhile. Target warps

LOL. I have a few times locked a friend by accident, should CCP make my friends/gang members unlockable to? Unless ofc i got a remote assist module on? Perhaps make blue people unlockable to...
Nah, to much computing power wasted on incompetence.

Duh... I do. But sometimes, somehow I still manage to fire a couple of rounds on the gate. Or maybe I'm just stupid

Simple fix to that is not have anyone in your corp/gang/alliance/high standing listed on your overview, since i changed that i never lock a friendly by accident.

Why on earth are stupid, stupid people trying to target stuff actually in space?? The only things you should be clicking in spcae to select are planets, moons, gates, stations, and POS stuff. Anything you want to shoot should be on the overview. ITS REALLY REALLY SIMPLE!

It isn't all that stupid in Jita with.... 40 people flickering aroudn your overview.
Also, it's quicker for me. And i sometimes lock gates when using my overview.
And btw It's MY overview not your i like it the way it is

I love empire wars, but I honestly hate accidentally missing the target I'm trying to click and locking onto a gate or billboard or a station. It's even bugged too, I have had a few instances where I tried to lock an interceptor mwding to a gate, only to start locking the gate as soon as he jumped.

I agree, but I didn't use the overview, wich is the point of the OP's post. Pretty much "CCP, make sure i can't make a silly mistake when I gate camp."
I can even tell another solution, but will refrain as I don't like gate campers much

Why are you trying to warp scramble someone in a system as crowded as Jita? If you find another place to play, you will have fewer problems.
BTW, I've made similar mistakes myself, but I'm not asking CCP to change the game to accomodate my clumsiness.

Set your overview to show what you want it to show, activate said modules, hold ctrl andwait for you target, click on overview when you see him = job done...

No need to hold control down. If your modules are activated and flashing away ready for action then you just need to click on the target and it will autolock.

Signed. Until there's a reason to lock something, it should be unlockable.
Right now, the only purpose of locking a station/gate/concord drone/etc is to get yourself wtfpwned.

Signed. We don't need to lock gates, or non-conquerable stations. Or CONCORD, for that matter. Or security NPCs at gates.

somehow imagine if this was implimented we would see:
"%@#%@ system is bugged, tried to lock a ceptor at a gate and it wouldn't let me!!! omgwtf3accountsgone!!!"
got to say though - was surprised to find once that billboards have warp scramblers!

Try going to http://winterblink.com/wda without putting a www. in front of it. For some reason the www. one doesn't work in-game, probably something odd with my host.

still i havent found a good way to set the overview. i have it set to show only bad standing people, bounty on head people, war people and very bad standing. and i still see neutrals on my overview, and sometimes dont see people with bounty on them.
and then, the worst thing is how to list them. i have tried anything, from icon, to distance, to name, speed, corp... nothing works. when there are more than 10 objects around, it gets messed up. with distance, because they can change distance while you are pressing ctrl+click, and the rest, i dont know why, but they dont seem to get a stable position. even when you filter them by name, i get the cargo cans switching their positions ramdomly every few seconds.

no, good features to help overcome the cumbersome GUI. There is absolutely no reason to lock a gate. Ever. so why should we be able to?
