kredis asdf,

Sometimes entering or traveling through Low Security Systems (0.4 to 0.1) and Null Security Systems (0.0) is unavoidable. Always check the Star Map statistics (Active ships, Ship kills, Pod kills, etc) before traveling into those systems. Try to plot alternate routes that bypass active systems. The use of a Cloaking module and the information contained in these links will also help improve your safety.

uh, besides crimson's nonsensical answer

did you have a suspect or criminal flag from taking from a wreck or can, or shooting someone? do you have -5 security status? if you were flagged the other guy can aggro you without the guns targeting them

what ship was the other guy flying? if it was a destroyer he could have popped you then warped off quickly, if it was cruiser or above he could have simply tanked the guns

you haven't provided much info though so it's hard to say vOv

A camper can aggro and kill you if he can tank not only the gate guns but also you. He catches a suspect flag for that. Gaining a suspect flag within view of gate guns starts them shooting, but they only continue to shoot so long as you're "on grid" with them (in sight). Once you warp off, you can come back safely.

So what your aggressors likely did is shoot and kill you, then warp off to clear gate gun aggro. That's also a likely reason why your buddy made it through fine.

E: Also, it's worth noting that if you have a fairly strong active tank and/or a few guy with you, gate guns are pretty easy to tank so they might not even have needed to warp off.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Interesting answers so far; all I'll add is: "Awesome for going to lowsec and not being stuck in a safespot!"

If the campers use nagas or tornados then its also pretty easy to kill stuff coming through and never get aggro from gate guns, as those ships can be fit to instalock and shoot out to 200 km. Tornados are ofcourse the favorite.

So I was in lowsec and tried to jump out through a gate but it just pooped on me. I then went to another gate but CONCORD wouldn't let me into highsec. Said something about electrical collies and sent me off.

Now I am stuck in lowsec and can't get my ship clean. Whenever I ask for someone to help, they just laugh and call me poopiehead.

HELP! I think I'm being targeted!

Gate guns can be tanked.

However, I've managed to escape by burning like a scalded cat for a celestial picked at random, while tackling, webbing, and firing on their tackle. I don't remember if I out-distanced them or just forced them to disengage, but it's viable.

Yuo and your budy might learn a lot if you each buy a cruiser maybe a frig that you don't mind losing and put together good tanks for them, then go find a quiet lowsec gate and start shooting at the gate guns.

Get a feel for their range and damage, and how often they switch targets. Warp off and then warp back see what they do. Aggro them and then try and dock or jump, see what those timers are like. You can ask questions here and read a ton but short of being on voice with someone who understands them or experimenting with them yourselves you probably wont get a good idea of how they work and how to deal with them.

Do this in or near rancer please so I can watch, this could be a great show

Scammers are currently selling killrights on this toon for up to 5mil, if you have paid for this service demand your money back at once.

Killing me should be for free.

Nonsensical?

Shocked

Let's take a look at the meaning of that word.

Quote:
non·sen·si·cal (n n-s n s -k l). adj. 1. Lacking intelligible meaning: a nonsensical jumble of words. 2. Foolish; absurd: nonsensical ideas.
www.thefreedictionary.com/nonsensical


Obviously if you had actually bothered to read those links, then you'd know your comment is completely absurd. I'm not gonna hold hands or sing 'Kumbaya'. He asked questions and I posted info that not only provides answers, it also instructs and informs the player on how to safeguard themselves.The answer to all his questions is contained within those links. All that's required on his part is a little bit of reading.

In this game, it's all about gathering intel. In other words = Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Apparently its some of the best tasting coffee ever. Me and a buddy of mine at work were going to go in on some of that, but when we found out that a single cup was some $15 US it kind of lost its appeal. Also, poop.
