Missions & Complexes

Because no one else did:

He's not your pal, guy.

From what I can tell just one of those is a gatecamp kill. The first one looks like he got jumped at a site.

I really doubt he'd have bit the dust to just 2 and 3 man teams at a gatecamp. In a Cov-Ops fit you have a window of vulnerability of about .5-1.5 (variance for 1hz) seconds between dropping the jump cloak and initiating your own cloak.

The sort of instalock boosted 6+ man gate camp teams are definitely out there in lowsec, of course, but it's a crapshoot about whether or not they can snag you.

A Cov-Ops frigate scout can save you a more expensive loss mail by definitely dying in a fire in advance of your Tengu. But they're by no means a very common camp set-up and they are habitually at certain 'false' bottleneck systems through-out lowsec.

I say false because really most super camped can be avoided by taking an alternate route of 2-3 jumps. It's just a matter of developing some knowledge about where they are likely to pop-up, and Dotlaning all your routes.

The frigate scout is the only way to be 100% sure of avoiding a gatecamp lossmail, but with some acquired smarts from living the life in Low you can reasonably expect maybe only a minute amount of risk. So it's up to each individual person to determine if that's worth having a 2nd operative account used for this alone.

A well laid trap in a ladar site.



Disconnect on a gate. My ISP is great.



6vdt undock is scary, especially when you don't watch intel channels. Not to mention the fact that this is a 0.0 loss, and my point about no scouts + covert fit + subsystems to swap to in cargo is a plan for low sec.

so yeah, no need for scouts. Just be safe and not reckless (I often do the opposite)

You are apparently too dumb to understand these concepts though?

Everybody has personal preferences. I would just recommend at the outset to get to Cruiser 5: this opens up many very good ships. Also, get the support skills up there so you're set for T2 shield/armor modules, Engineering/Electronics/Mechanics/Navigation to L5.

My faves are Tengu or Loki, and the Pilgrim for non-combat sites.
