I am quite confused. How exactly does re-balancing T3s and removing OGB from the game at all going to help and/or hinder instacamps?

Your portrait is confusing... boobs on a dude?

They don't insta lock anymore so you have a chance to warp way/burn to the gate, at least with a frigate.

Most instalock ships aren't T3s. The only somewhat viable instalock T3 is a loki, and thats pushing it. Almost all FW instalock ships are thrashers, ruptures, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Instalock ships often have rigs to increase scanres, which is incredibly stupid on a T3 unless you are going for a lolz fit arty cloaky loki for camping FW stations.

The only thing that increases lock time is the basic leadership skill, which is just a basic skill and not a module. The Recon Operation Information Warfare link is the only thing that remotely helps instacamps, and all it does is increase the range of r-sebos (and just the range, not scanres).

I know this has been said before in this thread, but please learn a little bit about the game and its mechanics before making rage QQ threads.

The way insta lock gate camps currently work, is like having a random number generator (1-10) on each gate in lowsec, when you jump in and it returns 10, your ship blows up. It's unavoidable until they rebalance T3 and remove OGB from the game.

Yes, they are all excellent choices for FW frigate pvp. Bravo.

I've killed Comets in my cloaky Astero.

Get on my level.

Well it can't be a 10 every time if it's random, can it.

Because once upon a time 17km webs, 40km points, & 15km scrams were a luxury item, not commonplace on every single hull. T3 links mean every single ship (including the bonused ones) has insane tackle range.

Making remote sebos & scan resolution rigs have huge stacking penalised with regular sensor boosters would also allow frigates to get through this type of camps.

I bet you killed pro Comet pilots, congratulations.

All in a day's work.

The problem is that the lack of actual content encourages gate camps as the sure way of getting some kills. It doesnt really add much to the game other than wasting peoples time.

Wasnt the #1 on the most kill list for a long time the dude sitting in Rancer in a smartbombing battleship camping a gate popping pods?

it's literally impossible to be caught by one of these in highsec or lowsec if you know what you are doing.

Of course it is, everyone that dies in insta lock gate camps are just noobs that need to learn to play. Shame on them for not having a second account for a scouting alt, stupid noobs never learn.

if you can align in less than 2 seconds they cant lock you fast enough out of gate cloak

also cloaks can help

DotLan doesn't require a second account. Dunno how you missed that.

I'm trying to find an aspect of these mechanics that isn't broken, but frankly instalocking camps are unavoidable, if you jump into one, you're getting caught, even in a frigate.

Something has to be done to fix this issue, it's killing the fun out of the game.


Thank you.

Dotlan and the map doesn't help ****, dunno how you missed that.

I can see you have alot of fun on Singularity.

< 2 sec align and you can't get caught, other than via a bubble. Of course, that's a gimped fit on everything (except perhaps an Astero, which has a cloak so doesn't need it!)

Even with 3 sec align fits, you should be able to make it back to the gate with a mwd frigate most times.

My corp found a insta lock camp some days ago, we warped in with 3 Maulus and sensor damped them for 15 minutes. A lot of neutral frigs got away because of us.

I like to help out in the community.
