EVE New Citizens Q&A

It depends entirely on what they have.

Usually Micro warpdrives are better for fleeing from gate camps.

Also the best way to get out of the bubble is to avoid it all together.

A comon tactic is if your in range directional scan the gate to see if there bubbles present then warp to a celestial that would allow you to approach the gate from an angle differing from your position on the oposite gate.

This is commonly known as a bounce.

If your not close enough to get directional warp to a celestial that is close enough to provide you with intel on a gate, and then follow the same steps.

if no celestial will allow you to get close enough get as close as you can via a celestial then intentionally deplete you cap to zero, then attempt a warp that will fail. This will put you closer to the gate with out actually landing on it and getting stuck in said drag bubble.

If you land in a bubble, or jump into one it is best to find a celestial object that will either take you in a direction away from the gang or the gangs nearest tackler that is on the bubble, OH your microwarpdrive untill your out of the bubble and warp off. Then bounce around to other celestials as a smart gang will see where you go and will send one or two peeps after you.

Yes you too can move through null sec with out loosing your ship on a buck fitty.

Most of this stuff isnt ship sensitive the ship just needs enough grid to fit a microwarp drive really.

You can also if you find yourself frequently going through systems make "tacs" or a book mark 200 to 300 km above or below a gate. Warp to that then warp down. That will get you around bubbles as well.

It's a beautiful ship and very cheep.

I'm not interested in mining or ratting. I'm space touring, and trying to find interesting people to talk with, shoot at, or run from.

I'm still somewhat "cloaked" for some of this time (assuming I jumped into the gate camp, not warped into one), so I figure there's only about 5 or 6 seconds where someone can target and kill me.

The graphical effect may show you as slowly phasing in from the cloak, but as far as everyone's overview is concerned you decloak as soon as you start moving. So, no, you do not have 5-6 seconds (which is still enough for a frigate or interceptor to tackle you btw). You have 10.

Your chances of not dying will be vastly improved by learning how to use the directional scanner to check for bubbles, interdictors and other dangerous stuff, and use of safespot and aforementioned bouncing.

Any decent gatecamp will have a good chance of catching you in 0.0 however. Using a covert ops ship will greatly increase your chances but there is always some risk (sensor boosted alert interceptors for example). Using only a cloak in a normal ship will help but an alert gatecamp will have a good chance of decloaking and killing you.

That said, I've run many camps in a normal uncloaked ship due to skill, and more often, luck, and I've been killed by very good gatecamps in covert ops. 100% safety is not an option.

In lowsec in a fast small ship you are usually quite safe.

First of all don't expect many people to talk to you in null-sec, common rule is don't talk to neutrals in local, period.




NO, you only hold gate-cloak for 60 seconds IF you do NOTHING. As soon as you do something (align, set speed, warp, what ever) you ARE visible to others, no matter what your on screen graphics tell you. So this means that for the duration of 10 seconds it takes you to get out of the bubble, you can be targeted / shot at for 10 seconds.

If genuine, happy to be of service, but more likely big fat fail troll attempt
