Thirdly, cloaking is useful if you know how to use it. There is a trick called the MWD cloak trick, which makes it extremely hard for gatecampers to catch an industrial ship. However, this is mainly used for people warping away, and not warping to an object.

I suggest you read this site to learn more.



Yeah this is it ... I goggled just about everything I could think for trying to remember it. I see what it does now, it aligns you while cloaked so you limit your exposure. But isn't there still a chance with someone who has trained all the relevant skills to get a lock on you before you warp away?


Yes, but only specific frigates designed specifically to insta-lock targets, can do this. Most gatecamps do not have this. But the margin is thin. Like literally half a second between decloaking from a gate jump and cloaking up, and another half a second or so from declaoking and warping.

It doesnt make you 100% safe(nothing in eve does), but it brings you damn close.

Theres also the manual warp. Ive heard this works better than clicking "Dock", but ive yet to try it. Apparently, instead of pressing "Dock" to warp to the station and dock, if you press "Warp to 0" to the station, you get a better chance at landing right next to the station at 0, than 2500 or so meters away. You still have to manually dock after you land, but it helps, or so ive heard.

This is wrong, you will randomly land in the same sphere of space.

Ah, k. I never tried it out myself so i didnt know if it was true.

I always make instadocks as close as possible to the station model.

Therefore I often bounce off upon exiting warp, but it has never been a problem. Ship rapidly accelerates to a couple hundred m/s, then rapidly decelerates, all the while remaining well inside the docking ring.

Ymmv I guess.

Make space glamorous! Is EVE dying or not? Ask the EVE-O Death-o-meter!
