Hi all, just want one thing cleared up. Was out in a thorax t'other night and (only with 2 bs clad comrades) made a blockade at a stargate in Fensi (.3 space) awaiting some scum sucking pirates to pop along who had previously wasted 3 of our companions. Sure enough along came one of the culprits and i locked him (having been assured previously that in .3 space there would be no danger from the sentry guns unless i fired on the stargate(..(and even though i was only 16km from the guns) right where was i oh yeh, basically the long and short of it is that i got wasted by the guns flew back to hq in a pod, got mocked by my adversary and all because i was misinformed about the current laws of engaging near satrgates. can someone clear all of this up for me?!
Many thanks

Great way to keep newer players: introduce things that will destroy their ships but don't provide any official documentation as to how they work!
As a pirate that frequently travels via shuttle/frigate, I have newer players attacking me at gate/stations in empire ALL THE TIME. At first it was funny and I kept the loot/laughed at them, but at this point it's just ridiculous and I'm starting to worry about losing players to this retarded **** and have begun returning equipment (unless it's something I can use ;]) & explaining the way sentry guns work to my enemies.
Which is totally stupid. CCP needs to stop ******* around and make some real, clear-cut documentation.

unless you are at WAR (red box around the ship) or the player you're attacking has a -5.0 sec rating(or worse) then any sentry in empire space, that includes 0.0 within empire controlled space, around gates OR a station will attack you.
Splash damage no longer affects you against gates, stations and billboards (not sure about sentries so I won't stick my neck out)

You can NOT splash damage sentrys and expect to not get attacked FYI

55km is the sentry range.. so if u sit at 60km+ your fine for sure, i just tested it in a 0.4 system.

Don't you need to be further away if the sentry gun is tech lvl3? I heard they shoot farther...
Anyway another thing to look out for is 0.0 systems in empire space. AGAIN very clear. lost my ship trying to kill someone there only to be blown to bits...so dont even try it.

.5 and higher = gate guns will shoot at you and the cops will come very quickly in case the guns miss
.1 - .4 = if you are outside the range (~55k) from the sentry guns then the guns wont shoot at you and the cops wont come unless you directly attack (not splash) the gates or billboards or you splash the guns. Within sentry gun range the guns will still blast you. This also applies to the few 0.0 systems in Empire Space.
Non Empire space = its a podfest.

I've done it all:
Lost Celestis cruiser because a missile hit the stargate (hunting npc rats)
Lost a Thorax because my smartbomb hit the station
Lost a Thorax because I fired at an alt-scout near stargate
No documentation whatsoever, only lost isk.
