Amamake, called the armpit of the universe by some, and a known pirate haven (I frequent it  ) appears as a massive blot on the map, more massive than usual in fact.
I know hordes of pirates dwell here, but was there some kind of major skirmish between two pirate groups? Or pirates and antipirates? 500 ship, and 488 pod kills within 24 hours is just... insane... isn't it? |

I once saw like 2000 ships killed in the last 24 hours, turned out it was someone doing a sucide shuttle run on a POS to drain the guns of ammo.

Not sure how they get that many podkills... guess the lag makes it impossible to warp out in time? Or maybe they have special sensor boosted pod snipers.

I still don't really understand the enjoyment of sitting on a gate with 20+ sniping ships shooting at frigates and newbie ships all day.
That would get boring real quick.

I bet most of those kills are shuttles, T1 frigates, and newbie ships.
killboard number inflating for the lame

Someone tried to get me yesterday in that system, it was my first PVP experience. 2 guys tried sniping my Kestrel, got me down to half shields, had time to type "nice try" in local before I got through the gate.
What is the best way to sneak up to a sniping gate camper? If I could get close with a E-war PVP setup, I might be able to take one down. Any recommendations on getting close to one, hopefully taking them by surprise? I guess a cloak is needed, but that would take forever to get there unless I had a covert op ship. Is there a way to warp right to them, or at least 15k away?

I don't understand how it could be fun flying in a 300-man gang in a lag-infested system, ending up sniping another 300-man gang at 200km, just to die because the warp button wouldn't work.
Or how blobbing a battleship or two with 100 tech I frigs just to get kills could ever be?
Funny world ain't it?

well, for Veto.'s sake, we don't snipe, we might tank the sentries, but we don't snipe.
EDIT; and to answer the pod question, I've found that t2 frigs usually have no problem in getting the pod, depends a bit on who's side the "ship blowing up" lag lands though, sometimes you see the pod on overview before the guy get's a chance to warp, sometimes you don't see them until they are in warp
