I dont mission mine in lowsec missions (passed up on that lucrative mission asteroid field a week ago in a 0.4). I drop a piece of ammo at every warp in spot and MOVE AWAY FROM THAT SPOT - the ammo can leaves no question of where you warped in. And I dont waste any time. I don't use drones. Pop your scanner occasionally. Anyone that has come to your first gate should be showing up as <100,000km away. Anyone closer than that and YES they are coming for you. Haven't have any uninvited guests yet, but then I also DON'T MISSION IN POPULAR HI-QUALITY NAVY HUBS. But I still dont let my guard down.
all that was said in the thread earlier, plus dropping a single piece of ammo at your warp in to prevent them from cloaking, and them maneuvering undetected.
From what I read, drones use microwarp which makes them show up easier on scans easier than player ships. I never use mining drones when mission mining, btw. They (combat drones) are only out when the hourly rats show up.
some theorycrafting..... vs cloakers
chances are if someone jumps in cloaked (CovOp Frig) the jetcan will decloak them - there is a little variation on your exact exit point at end of the warp, but as long as they warp within 2km, they will get decloaked. Lock them so they can't re-cloak.
If any other non-cov op frig, they will be uncloaked when warping in and then attempt to cloak so you will get only a 'wink' of another ship - which you might miss. That ammo will keep them uncloaked til they can move 2km from it - by then you should have them locked.
Either way now, you can keep tabs on them. Careful when killing your current targets that you dont start inadvertently firing on the invading ship.
If they snatch up your ammo jetcan, either friends are coming or he is going to 'try it again'
I suppose if you really want to annoy a prober, go AFK on one of those missions requiring an officer keycard, put your drones on an indestructable object, and drop a jetcan named "0340 Gniess - full pickup" "0420 Gniess - full pickup" lol
The accel gate leading to you will be locked ;p
