Hello all!!!
So last night I got my first taste of Gate Camping.
I was going around in my probe trying to 1) find something interesting to scan`explore, and 2) learn the game by moving around a little.
Through my trip I had to go through some Low Sec. Normally it all goes well but this time I met with Mr. BattleShip who sent a couple of drones at me to transform me into a nice set of particles. He then even took the time to zap my pod, which is actually cool because its faster to start over from my home base.
This said, I have absolutely no issue being ganked like that. Its part of the game. But given that my bank account size is directly linked to my HIgh Sec Exploration success (which is slim...hard to find data`relic sites in high sec), losing my probe with all its gear is a decent chunk of my assets. So, until I can get a little more ISK-comfortable, I should try to avoid losing my ships like that...
Oh, did I mentioned that it happened 3x almost in a row...from different people.
So, how can I avoid being such an easy target?
1) When I jump in a sector and see gankers, can I simply jump back to where I was? I wanted to test that but explode too fast.
2) If I were to use a cloaking device, can I use it to avoid gankers? if so how? I don't have a lot of experience with cloaking (got only one ship with it and now that ship is gone...) but to activate it I must be out of warm-cloak right?
3) If I would be part of a corp, would that act as a deterrent to gankers? Would they see that?
Thanks guys
PS: I know, I need a better income source! High-Sec Exploration is not the best. |

His most recent death was in high sec from a legion so i highly doubt a legion would get himself concordokkened for a probe.
No that happened later. I found some Wrecks (yellow) and no one near. Normally I ask for permission but there was no one. So i looted them...
I tought that i could only be targetted by the owner of the wrecks (who probably didn't care i took them)...i was wrong and found out the fun way when trying to dock in Hek with my fantastic 5m isk filled cargo hull...
Haha
Next time i'll just salvage...

Is there other side effects of being flagged?
I am not a big fan of ninja looting but if the wrecks are clearly abandonned I could greatly use them to make some isk. I just don't want to become an outlaw (losing faction?) because of it.
And what do you mean by "salvage first"? Won't I destroy the cargo If i salvage First? |
