EVE New Citizens Q&A

A good gate camp has eyes on the other side of the gate, sometimes even more than one system out. If they spot a fleet of 50 ships coming into their direction, the campers will flee to a safespot.

That being said, people still try and sometimes you can catch bad campers.

OP, warp to a celestial (moon or planet, not within 0 or 100) first before you warp to the gate. Hit F11 to open your system map (it's the bottom one) and use it to see which celestial will give you an angle of approach to the gate that might be more unexpected. With a frigate or especially a shuttle, you should be warping off before most targeters can lock you. If there is someone at the gate when you go through., warp around from celestial to celestial a few times, then fly off into space in a random direction to get yourself out of the common warp to ranges just in case someone managed to follow you by seeing where you warped off to and isn't lazy.
Gates going from from hisec to losec are most likely to be camped / have smartbombing going on. Go around to the ways not easy but more likely to get through. As was mentioned, use the ingame map filters to see 'ships destroyed in last hour'.
For a hauler ship / slower ship - cloak + MWD trick.
Have fun! o/

Then relish in the thought this indeed gets done. Those camping our gates will be measured up by scouts and a fleet will mobilize to crash their party if we think we can handle the fight. In return, our own camps get hotdropped by a neighbouring pirate corp if we sit still to long. Ah, the ebb and flow of lowsec.

All in the name of tourism!

Die hard sightseeer

edit: Eve occupation, tourism mogul sounds cool. Make star systems with sites for exploration and visiting and charge fee to all who go there or pass through/explore. The accumulated fees get awarded to the players of the corp/alliance that hold sov every 6 months. Could be expanded with different themes as well. More reason to fight, hold sov, and passive income :).
Could even built missions around the theme as well. For instance pilots get payed to ferry fictive tourist from site to the other like logistic mission. Checkpoints along the way become busy hubs for pvpers and pirates.
