Ioci Ioci Exploration Apotheosis of Virtue	Posted - 2008.03.31 08:33:00 - [1] Warpcore stabs will work if you are trying to warp out. I heard there was a scramble that pretty much makes those useless now too but I can't confirm that. I fend the best strategy with determined gate campers is to jam it down thier throat. Make a new toon in that empire, set up clone at the closest base and just keep flying it in. It might require you do it for a few hrs. Some low sec rats are pretty slow but eventually they will get sick of farming alpha clone kill mails and go away.

I have been involved in enough gate camping affairs to know, they aren't after the thrill of a good fight. They want easy kills, solo against thier super fleet. They want no risk and maximum reward. In the case of PvP that is a super cool kill sheet. But spam it with 60 Velator kills, suddenly it isn't so much fun.

I heard there was a scramble that pretty much makes those useless now too but I can't confirm that. Why would something so obviously unbalanced be introduced like that? Actually, the traveling character has the edge in gate camping right now. Between cloak and warp to 0 km it's very easy to evade gate camps. Some times there are mission pipes that get hit and nooblets are really in no position to combat them. That's where you apply the strat above.

Hopefully those two Megathorns will be elsewhere by the time I get back in mah Ibsi. >_> wtf? You get tackled in your pod by megathrons? How long does it take a mega to lock a pod? 30 seconds? You can warp in your pod, you know... You don't have to manually fly to the next stargate 30 AU away... Actually, he is right. When you come through, lock your target, be it a base or another gate and spam jump to. In a pod, you should break clear in a .4

The only reason why I think it would work is because it would show "kills in last hour" and "pod kills in last hour" as very high. But then the campers can just mvoe back a couple of jumps. I have done this on a number of occasions. Trust me, they get sick of me. I make it very clear in local I am an alt, an alpha and I'm not leaving. It would be like forcing a player to do Level 2 missions in thier Navy Raven. It doesn't last very long.

I heard there was a scramble that pretty much makes those useless now too but I can't confirm that. Confirmed. Heavy Interdictor with a focusing script is an infinite point scram. No amount of WCS will save you. The better option these days is a cloak and an MWD. Takes a bit of practise but the "start align/MWD/cloak/uncloak/warp" sequence is pretty hard to catch. Don't try this though if you are experiencing any lag . Also fit a combo of intertia stabs and nanofibres to help with align/warp times.

It might require you do it for a few hrs. Some low sec rats are pretty slow but eventually they will get sick of farming alpha clone kill mails and go away. Very lame. Alt scouts are lame too. Use a shuttle and your main. Unless they are using remote sensor boosted tacklers you are very unlikely to get caught as they warp very fast. If you do get caught, select some object in space (outgoing gate or stations are good) using your overview (you do have gates and stations in your overview right?) and start hammering the "warp to" button. Just keep click in the button. Your shuttle will go pop and you will warp away almost immediately. Also keep in mind that pods will warp almost instantly but you have no protection then from smart bombs or a bit of lag. Low sec camps are easy to get past if that is your only objective. Getting expensive stuff past them in poorly prepared (or even well prepared) ships is another thing entirely. Cheers. Yep, you are right. It's as lame as gate camping in T2 I win fleets. It feels good to get under the skin of the rats

It feels good to get under the skin of the rats Personally, I'd like to actually play the game, not spend all my time repeatedly getting killed in the hopes that the players killing me will get bored and go somewhere else. You could tell them you have a cruiser on the other side. I'm sure they would let you through. Good luck on that playing the game part though because you will be base camping untill further notice. My strategy is fundamental. In a game like Eve, the most annoying thing for a PvPer would be a Pacifist. You are meat and they get a rise out of annoying you. Countermeasures are not to feed them, it is to starve them. Granted, I am an idiot but arguably so are the rats who gank solo targets and scatter like rats when a fleet shows up.

It just seems really, really, really lame to me that what they do is potentially unbeatable and the only solution is "don't go there" or "just keep going through until they give up". So don't do it. It's what I do. Then again, I am not forced to. It's just a part of the cruelty I can inflict. I have 3 accounts, 2 Stealth Bomber pilots and a Black Ops BS pilot. I get caught in gate camps because I have nothing to lose and my insurance is about to run out. Sorry but you really screwed up buying a Ship in low that you fell you need now, now, now. It will be there tommorow. If you aren't a patient player, Eve is going to shred you.

I realize that it was a stupid thing to do, but I had assumed that the market wouldn't be like "Yes, please show me things that I may very possibly get killed on my way to go pick it up" by default; it never occurred to me that the default behavior would be that way. And at the moment, I'm sitting in a station watching my warp drive operation skill go up. It just seems like a really lame thing to do; I was dragged into this game by the prospect of epic fleet battles and sieges of POSs; where there are such things to be had, I just don't get why someone with a ship capable of doing such things wants to sit at the high-sec bottlenecks and pod people in shuttles. I get your frustration. So many times, I have seen it played out. Untill CCP see fit to create War zone dead spaces and War Zone kill mails and in short an alternative PvP system, it won't change. In fairness to the PvP side, there isn't much else for them to do.

Flame value.. 1/10 I'm sorry only an idiot doesnt know about hictors after all this time, maybe wallpapering a rock takes time but not even a mention of it from a corp mate or, since you seem to F5 enough not read all the whines about them? Not a flame, i just noticed your lack of knowledge. To the OP, Point in fact. Rock, idiot. See? Itch, scratch, dig and squirm to get a rise out of you. This is a low sec rat. It's the element of Eve you deal with. Pat them on the head, smile and nod alot.

I guess people dont like it when you show them they are stupid. Plus, dont pyrimid quote, ta. I suggest you go away and learn the mechanics of something properly before you try to give advice on it. Need a hug?

Ioci Ioci Exploration Apotheosis of Virtue	Posted - 2008.03.31 12:05:00 - [14] Originally by: Druadan Originally by: Lord WarATron Also use Microwarp drive. For 2 reasons, you can align in 10 seconds max if oyu fire off 1 MWD burn. Also, if you jump in and see a camp, you can MWD back to gate. You might not survive, but it at least gives you a chance to make a run for it. MWDing back to the gate can work, but activating your MWD for warping out increases your align time because there's a mass addition which reduces your ability to accelerate. Additionally, an active MWD will allow ships to target you five times faster than usual. The only hope for using an MWD for a quick align is if you're in a super-heavy ship that will take so long to align that the one-burst MWD cycle will finish before the ship would have aligned without the MWD. When the max speed drops back to its original speed, you will be aligned and will warp out. Actually MWD as a gate tool are useless. They all web as well as scramble and you aren't going to get back to gate at 5% even in MWD. Cloak will work but you need to be able to do that. That has been my experience.
