So, I have learned many times how bad jump-camps are, at least maybe 6 times. So if i could ask how could I get through jump-camps? I really wanted to setup a POS for moon mining but this jump camping is really annoying. Any reccomandations or tactics would be great.

Some systems are much more frequently camped than others so try to get in through a different route.

In no particular order:

Skill into a cloaky transport ship - nearly impossible to catch if flown right.

Learn the Align+MWD+Cloak > Warp-to zero-trick, Look it up on google or ask in Help channel

Warp core stabs can do a lot for you - especially at small camps of only a few ships.

Scout in a pod first - it's nearly impossible to lock and pop a pod - you can see if the coast is clear. Warning, if when you jump through to check out the scene you see smart bombing BSs on the gate, don't come back through that gate as you stand a good chance of getting popped.

If it's a system you're going to be traveling through frequently, have a noob alt sitting in that system and just login, warp to gate and check things out.

^^ these apply mostly to low-sec. Much of the same applies to 0.0, except you shouldn't be going to 0.0 or setting up POSs on moons, etc.

Yeah good luck activating your cloak without breaking gate cloak first by aligning.

I normally go with troll. In this case I am pretty sure it is the other option.

You can activate a MWD after activating a cloak, as long as you do it within about 2 seconds.

CCP Dropbear linked a video in MWD+cloak trick..how to do it ? but I prefer EVE tutorial: Cloak - mwd trick

Learn game mechanics before posting please.

And the secret is:
Align > Cloak > MWD > Decloak immediately after MWD cycle finishes > Warp

(There's actually lots of modifications to the above but that's the basics).

Also, to the OP: Traditionally they're called gate-camps.

While the cloak-mwd trick is how you get out once you are stuck in it. However, the best way to survive is to not get in it in the first place. Before wandering through low/nullsec check the in-game map or dotlan and check stats like:

- num pod kills
- num ship kills
- num ship jumps

to get an idea of what's going on nearby. Obviously, this won't help you with a highly traveled chokepoint system or a newly-formed camp - but it can give you an idea of where the highest danger is.
