EVE New Citizens Q&A

I am assuming it is a covert op ship, or similar, that also takes a cloaking device to get in and of low sec unseen?

I know the skills required will take a long time to train, so I am mining, and doing missions, to top up my bank account!

One other question.
I lost a ship in low sec the other day, I was caught with my pants down as I was about to jump into a high sec region. They jammed my warp or jump drive, and I could not move, it was all over in a flash, but I did manage to get a few a shots off though. Lesson learned....all part of the game

What is the best counter measure to stop people jamming your ship's electronics in low sec so you have a chance to fight back, or at least make a run for it?

P.S. Sorry if my terminology is is all wrong, I'm still finding my feet!

Ideal ship for exploration/scanning is anything with a cov ops cloak and/or some kind of bonus to probes.

As for the other stuff:

1. Cov Ops cloaks. If they can't see you, they can't scram you.
2. Don't go to low/null. Not great because that's where the "fun" is, but that is where the (greater) "danger" is.
3. Warp Stabilizers. They add "warp factor". The higher your warp factor the more scram(s) opponents need to put on you.

Sisters core probe launcher
5x sisters core probes
Micro auxiliary power core (1x or 2x)
Whatever weapon that fits


Microwarp for pushing out of gate camps (hit align/warp -> microwarp -> cloak)
Avoid target locks, move quickly! At every gate I hit warp/mwd/cloak as fast as it will respond. You're locked, you're dead.

If you are running sites, a jammer is useful too, if you only have one weapon slot free. Just a suggestion.
Another suggestion is a nanofiber internal structure if you have the room (low slot like the aux pwr core). Then you want a shield booster, damage control or somethig/anythign to keep your ship together (think: origami...).
And don't forget the codebreaker II. It's the one skill you want at V as soon as you can, after frigs V.
Oh one more tip/suggestion, carry a container, it's a bonus m3 inside. Also you can lock and anchor them from your pod... unless you have no valuables then just run and let the gankers have it.
Leave the warp stabilizers in the hanger ;)

If your traveling through low sec if your in a frigate and you have good maneuvering skills(Space ship command + Evasive Manuevers) You can be relatively hard to stop as frigates are quite agile.

To stop a point you can use a warp core stabalilizer. I would not suggest this as it kills your lock time and will consume either a damage mod, a tanking mod, or an agility mod in the lows like a nanofiber which would be far more useful then the stab.

If you jump into low sec and theres a gang. Hold your cloak. Take a moment. Breath. Check your surroundings. Ask yourself these questions?

Where is the closest ship to you?(If nothing is with in point range you may be able to get off scot free)
What kind of ships are there? (If its a frigate dont worry they wont engage you on a gate because they will die to gate guns)
What direction is the nose of your ship pointed? (If its pointed close to the direction of a celestial you can get into warp quicker because it will take less time to align too it)

Microwarpdrives are essential for avoiding gate gangs. Getting thermodynamics is extremely helpful as you can overload your modules.

If you go into low sec, and you get attacked and you are not personally looking for a fight never engage the enemy. In that situation you shouldn't have shot the pirates. That gives you an agression timer and keeps you from jumping through the gate.

Lets say you jump into low sec you see a gang and theres nothing near by to quickly align too. Pre overload your microwarp drive and spam the travel to gate and jump button, on the gate you just came through. This is called crashing the gate. Unless the enemy has webifiers and scrams(which have a range of 10km 9km) In a fast ship you can make it too and through the gate before you pop.

Hope this helps your travels through low sec.

The fact that MWDs are _a_ way to get out of gate camps does not mean they are _the_ way to get out of gate camps. The best defense is not to do anything dumb enough to get you caught in the first place (don't warp in a straight line from another gate, check your local), and in the case of a disco camp MWD will actually _hurt_ you by expanding your sig radius and thus upping the damage you take from the smartbombs.

The MWD+cloak trick is popular because it's easy for people that are bad at PVP to pull off and the counter to the strategy isn't terribly popular (running an inty near gate guns or smartbombs), not because it's the only way to get out of things, is what I'm saying here. Honestly just waiting out your gate cloak and then going back through the gate will get you out of it nine times in ten when you screw something up and fall into a trap, no MWD required.

No they don't, it's just visuals.

Read this, especially "Passive alignment" section.

In EVE, you can buy any in-game item. There is no bind-on-pickup or something, if you're asking this.

Im not able to run Cov Ops just yet, but I have an Imicus fitted with Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher I, Sisters Probes, Cloak I, Overdrive Inj, CPU chip, 3 probe rigs of a name I cant remember.

I do lots of exploring with this, and have found some good things out there. Im sure there is a better ship and fit to do so, but this has served me well so far.

Minor nitpick: you're thinking of stealth bomber bombs. Smartbombs don't care about your sig.
