These things are all over low now!

Nippy little b3ggers.

What’s your preferred technique for swatting them at gates and catching them in belts before they do one?

You don't kill the Ventures

The Ventures kill you!

Nope. The old MWD trick seems to work a treat.
They really thought this little ship through!

They have such low EHP that you could just cough in their general direction and they'd still blow up.

They sound like tough little critters, wish you all the best with ridding yourself of the Venture infestation (sounds nasty to me)....

This applies to basically every ship in the game. If someone knows how to do cloak MWD and you don't have enough people to swarm the gate and decloak, they're going to get away.

The +2 to warp strength does not help either.

Sensor Boosted Phobos with an Infinite point, or Sabre if you so choose.

I think this was CCP's plan all along. GOOD JOB CCP. Although just get a cloaky warp in and smart bomb the crap out of them.

Just shoot them. If they haven't ducked out by the time you're in range, they tend to explode.

If you want to get "clever" add a second scram.

So a +2 point is not enough to scram it?

Anyone got a kill they can link so we can see the fit?

they put miners in the highs. A cloak for utility. a warp stab in the low for an extra middle finger to lowsec. a survey scanner in the medium. and align rigs.

Why so meny hate here? you want more people in low sec? you got it, dont kill the new visitors! and now some of you cry because they enter low sec and use cloak...

Most of them are few day newbis who try new stuf and feature, be happy they enter low sec, they stll got very low profit because this cargo hold is small, so they risk a lot to earn like 500.000 isk... Most of them are brawe people, more brawe than pseudo pirates and pvp'rs who looking for easy pve target, shame on you!

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

No hate, it's just that the point of having more people in low-sec is to kill them.

CCP has no sense of humour.

They mad because they were all a bunch of closet miners and the new people are stealing their ores.
