Hi,

I'm somewhat new to pvp. My partner and I have been trying lowsec roams to try and get into it. However, we've encountered some gatecamps in our travels and it seems that they're very hard or impossible to defend against or avoid while flying a standard combat ship.

I'm just curious to know how the community at large feels about gate camps, such as how fun they are for either party (relevant? no?) or how much interesting and engaging gameplay they add to EVE. In addition, I'm curious as to whether CCP plans to remove or modify gatecamps so that there's more interactive gameplay involved.

Keep in mind I'm not looking for ship fits, tips, or help avoiding/defending against gatecamps.

He speaks for pretty much everyone on here (with that statement, at least), and I daresay that was much more polite than the usual expectation here.

But you asked a question, and if you'd like an answer, which we will be happy to talk about as its a decent question, then post with your main.

Oh, a common sentiment? Interesting. I'll be elsewhere, then. Thanks for the info.

They're serious. If you want to post on an alt, do it on reddit. You're much more likely to get bad advice or outright trolled there, however.

I thought I was being down right polite. Oh well perhaps the next person who claims to have interacted with gate camps in lowsec will have actually interacted with gate camps in lowsec and then we can discuss gate camps in lowsec.

And for those wondering if i can say that 3 times fast
Gatecamps in low sec
gatecramps in lowshreck
greatgramps in lowskek.

Pos mods around Dodixie or scraps around Rens, OP can make their own decision.

Try harder to link the correct info as you seem to come up short on that!

Would you look at that. Page 2 has nullsec stuff. Page 3 wormholes... I see your point tho little lowsec to speak of. But least I don't have to scroll to October to find something outside of high sec. You should stretch your legs once in a while

I seem to have touched a nerve with my original quote!

My knowledge of low sec is not an issue here the original quote was accurate.

Not that I care much!

Except for the inconvenient part where it wasn't right?

Hi im Lan and id just like to say thank you for bringing this topic up and you can see my answer below

i like gatecamps personally, my sensor boosted keres with a long point and 3 scrams can pretty much catch anything Pirate, however all it takes is a little common sense to avoid them. we do not need to remove them because you were silly enough to not have a scout or you were too silly to bother burning back to the gate and jumping back to your cushionsec where everything is nice and safe, so please excercise a bit more caution when jumping into low security space.

thank you for your time, pirates have feelings to you know

A lovely edit. It paints you in a whole new lightRoll
Incidentally you should use my z kill or even my ALTs Trosken Neirfallas since I don't spend all my time in high sec corps Blink

Gate camps are good content and they're typically interactable even for 1 or 2 people if you do it right.

The two concepts I would push here are:
1) timer management
2) nano ship concepts

If you weren't anonymous, and I had a hope of a decent interaction, I might consider explaining what I love about running into gate camps.

A little learning talking to these guys can go a long way.

I think I have a grand total of three kills in highsec. Pretty sure you know quite a bit about undock camping though.
