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 such thing as instalock! ALL locks have a time

smartbombs are ok till a bs turns up and kills u. u need guns to camp properly

Near-insta lock is possible with smaller ships. You need friends to split the gate gun fire sufficiently to use em effectively in lowsec. Gang mates are the secret to successful gatecamp. They also account for the vulnerability of smartbomb ships (though smartbomb ships don't need a lock, so they usually have enough stabs for it not to matter).

Since when does the big money move in shuttles and frigs? Ok we've all heard that shuttle had x manny billions in BPO but really, the isk lives in the crusiers, bc, indy and bs. You can catch those just fine. Want to catch the small stuff? Slap a Sensor Booster or two on a Hac, or a tanked cruiser.. or agress the guns early and have an interceptor do your tackeling.
WTZ makes the bears feel safe. When bears feel safe they come to die. No changes needed.

Oh my god. You must be the worst gatecamper in the game.
You can instalock shuttles/frigs so go find out how instead of complaining on working mechanics with a stupid alt.
And by the way.. WTH does WTZ have to do with this?! You are complaining about not being able to lock before people WARP AWAY while WTZ means people incoming..

So you're looking for a ship that can instalock and pop frigates and battleships on a lowsec gate, but can also deal with any battleships / larger gangs that show up to deal with you...
Sounds like you need to invest in a mothership friend.

Translation: Pirating isn't easy enough. No one should be able to get away from me. I should be able to sit there and kill anything that comes near. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
If they took away WTZ people would just go back to making 0km BMs so you'd still be in the same boat. Gate camping is pirating on EZ mode to start with, for carebear pirates who want reward for no risk.

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. |

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

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?

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.

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!
