Awesome tips, I've found myself accidentally locking FW buttons instead of the target a few times. I'll be trying this soon.

Grrr.

You'd be amazed at how many times fast warping Veldspar has escaped a Chribba gate camp :)

Great article, I always end up locking the gate or playing find the bad guy in my overview

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

That was pretty neat, and entertaining. I admit I just use my mouse, but it really got me thinking about starting to use the keyboard also. I haven't played long enough to develop any bad habits yet. Its time I crack into my key bind list!

Sorting overview by name instead of distance can help with this as well. Then targets aren't swapping places on the overview as they fly around while you're trying to lock them. Of course it can be useful to have it sorted by distance when kiting.

That there is an incredibly well written and concise blog, +1 from me

The Pro Synergy Pilot is not just a fighting man, he is a salvage expert. If it is lost, in the blackness of space, he will find it. If it has been destroyed, he will loot and salvage it. If it is in his way, he will move it. If he is lucky he will be podded 20 jumps from home, for this is the closest he come to being hero.
