I'd like to add for your first question: Not safe at all. The guns won't fire at an aggressor who's a certain distance from the gate, so you'll get people in battleships two hundred kilomaters off of the gate shooting at you. They lock quickly and track well, so they can pop you with zero risk to themselves if you don't have instas.

Originally by: digital0verdose How do you get to be able to attack effectively from 200km out? I'm only 1mil sp in and my max effective range is like 13km. What skills give your effective range such a boost?
You start out with the biggest long-range battleship gun and then stack up tracking computers for optimal range, sensor boosters for locking range, and the overpowered tech 2 sniper ammo that doubles optimal range and still gives good damage. It all adds up real quick.

Originally by: TalonSin Referring back to question 1. If I jump into the system on autopilot, will they be able to get a lock on me before I start warping to the next gate? When I first warp into a system it seems like I'm invisible for a short time and then I warp to the next gate shortly after. With insta's it seems this is my most vulnerable point (entering a system). Should I worry about this or is it not enough time for most to get a lock on me and hit me?
Is there a way to drop out of warp once you start heading to a destination? I tried stopping but I continued to warp to my destination. I think if I warp in on autopilot and wait to start warping again I can get out of warp halfway and then use an insta to get to the next gate safely. Good or bad idea?
To answer the first part of your question, a sniper probably couldn't target you fast enough to kill you unless you were in a big bulky hauler. The problem is not when you enter a system though. What you need to worry about is if you need to crawl towards the exit gate at a couple hundred meters a second. That would be bad...
And the second part of your question: No, you cannot deliberately stop warping. The idea is you enter the system not on autopilot and then warp to your insta manually. You can still use the autopilot to initiate the jump, but you need to deactivate it as soon as it jumps, or it may try to warp you 15km away from the gate, and not to your insta.
