In lowsec gate camps, you need to use ships other than battleships (duh!) for tackling
A squadron of three or so double sensor boosted battlecruisers will be able to lay on enough scram points quickly enough to catch even blockade runners.
As soon as your camp hits critical mass (6 or so ships) you can bring along a single pilot in an interceptor. Ensure that all other pilots on the gate have aggression then sit the inty on the gate. The interceptor pilot must show restraint and attack only those ships that no-one else can tackle.With all the other ships drawing sentry fire the interceptor can hold his target long enough for your other ships to get points on.
Once the inty has aggression have him sitting just off from the gate (an AU or so) aligned towards it. As soon as your scout (you do have a scout, right?) sees something coming your battlecruisers can't tackle, send in the inty. Once again the other friendlies on the gate should be drawing fire allowing the inty to do his thing.
If you want to catch the tough targets don't just get a bigger ship then come on eve-o and whine...try working as a team with intelligent setups designed to complement each other. |

im talking about low sec so no bubbles.
smartbombs are ok till a bs turns up and kills u. u need guns to camp properly
???? must mean u havent got a CLUE
profit not without my changes in place
So what you'd like is for solo-pwn-scissors to beat paper AND rock. This is pure genius.

Originally by: clare bear wtz is crazy, shuttles are invincible as are most small ships. gate camping has ground to a hault.
WE NEED BALLANCE!!!
i propose a medhod of ballance. All ships that jump thru a gate mist have say a 5 second delay after de-cloaking. say an engine re-calibration timer. this would allow bigger ship to lock low sec travalers and ballance gate camping with WTZ.
no more uber overpowered transport ships IE shuttles and frigs
Have friends on the other side of the gate with sensor boosters or go to 0.0 and use dictors.There is no reason for you to miss targets you have in game mechs stop whining. -----------------------------------------------

i agree with the op
its so unfair that a battleship cant lock a shuttle before it can warp off. when entering a system everything should be forced to sit around at every gate until everyone in system has decided if they want to shoot it or not. its the only fair way to do it really

We had a guy boosting our tackler... pushed the scan res to 3K, that totally instalocks anything. Too bad he sucked at it so we had to boost someone else

WTZ is underpowered, shuttles are take to long to lock! AS MOST =SMALL= SHIPS. Gate camping has to be annoying when I have to warp out EVERYTIME a BS or a pirate corp appears in local. WE NEED NERFAGE!!!ONE ONE ONE!!!!! I propose that this game needs to be like Runescrape. All lvl 2 ships will get instalocked instaganked and insta killed by th elvl 94 BS pilot. They should also not be able to warp half way cloaked when you go through a gate. This would allow us alt's to have more fun in posting ALREADY BALANCED game. No more ubber annoying alt post.
Now thaat we have that translated.................. Can I have your stuff?

Gate camping is pirating on EZ mode to start with, for carebear pirates who want reward for little to no effort.
Not really
Sure, you don't have bubbles so your pod is always going to be fine, but Sentry Guns wear down campers quite a lot, and if it's only 1-2 people in Commands/BS then their tanks are going to be MUCH easier to break.
You'd be suprised at how easy it is to break up some pirate gatecamps. The sentry guns by themselves do a number of things: - Eliminate the Shield buffer on armour tanking ships - Deplete the Capacitor on any active-tanking ship to a sustainable level - Significantly weaken the ship under fire in terms of tankable DPS - Prevent the use of Drones for longer than a minute
Now, with all those disadvantages in mind, I would hardly call low-sec gate camping easy mode unless you're doing it with a Mothership ---

A crow/taranis with 2000 scan res can't lock a shuttle/pod/ceptor before it's in warp when there are no bubbles.
Best bet is to get a friend or 2 to remote sensor boost. You might catch a AF then.. hehe.

I love pirate/griefer tears.
Having warp to zero abolished would actually help us. I believe your mistaken when you refer to tears, good sir.
No it won't . People will just start using set's of insta's again..

Sitting there waiting for victims to come along is not exactly an effort, as opposed to pirates who actively look for victims (like those who go around belts looking for victims, or even those who scan for deadspace mission runners). Sure, there's a risk to gatecamping, but to the seasoned camper who knows what it takes to tank the sentry guns, it's a very small one. Bit like shooting fish in a barrel really once you know what you're doing :)

Yes, the rewards can be high and yes, there's little effort to it.
But really, how is it any easier/worse than 0.0 gate camping? Sure, less targets, but more you're able to catch because using Interceptors and Bubbles is actually possible, and no sentry guns giving anyone trying to kill you that edge (not to mention the element of suprise)
Say you have 3 BS camping a gate, under sentry fire. Jump it with 3 BS of your own and you're almost guarenteed to win assuming setups and skills are relatively equal. You have more of a HP buffer, more Cap to use before boosting and your tanks are stronger. ---

It isn't easier/worse than 0.0 gate camping. I believe what was said was that gate camping is piracy on easy mode, and as far as I'm concerned, that applies to both 0.0 or low sec. The point being that the OP is calling for gate camping to be made even easier, when it's not exactly rocket science to begin with :)

Right on, OP! Shuttles have been overpowered since their inception! You can even assign fighters to shuttles, and their only weakness is that they tank well! Nerf shuttles!
The most fair solution to the rampant shuttle problem would be a huge space net which sweeps space clean of targets and pulls them in for processing. Let's see those overpowered shuttles get away now!

Well, Ittys are easy. But If you wanna quick lock an pwn. Have someone fly a Lach and you sit in a BS remote reppin. You will catch everything and if your good you can dominate...or get dominated.
