Disruptors don't block the microjump drive. If you can delay a scram for 10 seconds you can slip camps super easily with it. I actually need to try cloak + micro jump one of these days, as battleships are the only class of ship that can run into issues with cloak +MWD due to long align times on armor battleships. In theory the addition of the micro jump drive gave battleships a reliable way to slip gate camps. Lord knows every other class of ship has a way already. Which brings me back to my confusion. Cloak MWD is like 99.9% effective on any battle cruiser or smaller, so how do these camps still exist.


Welllll the other day I did the guristas arc and fitted a cloak to get out of null gatecamps, then got all the way back one jump from high sec and had my dramiel blown up because I forgot I fitted a cloak since I use them so little lol. It's only after I got the mail I realised I had it duuuh. So they just need someone like me to derp every so often to get kills I guess. I already installed the gila BPc before going back thank god, but lost my t shirts. Sad

One thing to keep in mind is that what may look like a gate camp to you might very well just be a roaming gang waiting to jump to the next system.

  • Low sec population on the increase.
  • Inexperienced pvp'ers trying out low sec gameplay.
  • Said inexperienced players using numbers for safety while they learn the ropes.
  • People still finding a reason to moan.


Nothing to see here, move along.

Its not profitable for them most of the time, but its easy to camp rather than to find people in belts.

Yeah its hardly impressive pvp but it gets them out of high sec and that cant be a bad thing.

Also a lot more crappy gate and station camps for old timers to crush!!

edit: damnit,. pretty much what CCP StopCopyingMe said

Expect even more OP when Odyssey comes out. People looking to make a quick ISK off those security tags that are coming in the expansion.

It's really just because all lowsec PVP'ers are bad.

Can I put this in my bio amongst my local/corp smacktalk and highest hit to static mission spawned structure?

For people who camp the same gate day in day out, just add them to your contact list and see if they are online before jumping that gate. There's a guy who has done nothing but camp the same gate in Eszur for 3 years.


... wow .. well, I guess that´s the low sec version of mission running spammers 23/7

with population you mean alts in stabbed T1 frigs and cloaks or the 10% who are not alts in stabbed T1 ships and cloaks?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I fail to understand how you are classifying those who are gatecamping all the time as "bears" Bad PVP'rs maybe?

A general rule of lowsec is that the only acceptable increase in population is that of targets, not those looking for targets.

FTFY

E: Also, no cloaky fags farming in cov ops either because low-sec is only for industrials idiotically blundering into gate camps and gate campers.

CCP has no sense of humour.

Bit of a derpy thread, but I'll straighten out the misinformation at least.

Activate MJD, cloak, reappear 100km away *does* work. You don't even need the tech 2 cloak for it since there's no reliance on being at 75% speed to warp.

Enjoy :)

Just quoting to add that orcas have the same issue as battleships regarding cloak/MWD. I'm almost sad i can't fit a MJD on it, but it wouldn't have the grid anyway

I have heard that an Orca can pull off the cloak mwd trick with only a very short target window on the end. Its something I would like to try out, but orca training/buying is really not on my todo list.

Make yours as nimble as possible and fit the biggest mwd you can and try the cloak trick. If you need someone to try and lock you convo me, it is an experiment that I have wanted to do for quite sometime.

You must walk right through gate camps with that set up! You should run Gonditsa.
