Question:- i have started to venture out of high sec and am spending more time in low, if i target someone and attack them on a low sec gate will i be shot at by gate guns?
will the act of just targeting another ship also result in the gate guns attacking me?
will gate guns 1 shot kill me? (ship/armor dependant)

If your target has no flag and you attack first and your victim is within 150 KM of a gategun ; yes

1. If you gain a GCC flag (suspect or criminal flag) within 150km of sentry guns, they will engage you (you can warp off and back and you'll be ok. They only attack when you gain the flag in front of them)

2. There is no flag for targeting someone. Yellow box anyone you like the sentries won't care.

3. Depends what you are flying. The DPS of the sentries is 167 (from memory). If you can tank it, no problems.

To the OP, this question would have been better asked in the new citizens Q&A section of the forums. You would get a better answers and not trolled by assholes.

To Carrie Anne: **** you, the only thing the OP done wrong was to put this in GD and thats not a big ******* deal now is it?

Not so sure you should listen to the above advice. Even if it were true, they don't do 'much' damage. Can be tanked in a cruiser.


Truth is that Gate guns are "dumber than a box of frogs".

Take just 1 other guy with you.

Both attack target, lock him down and get your criminal KOS flags.

Whoever is getting agro, warp off to a perch. Immediately, warp back down and lock him up and again

2nd guy can now warp off to perch, warp back down.

Continue killing the poor sod with impunity as the gate guns will actually 'stop shooting'.

Why do I know / think this?

My alt was used learn low-sec pirate techniques from observation over the course of a couple of months. Yah, AFK cloaking.

Maybe they don't increase damage over time anymore or maybe it was never implemented. This game gets patched so much, I basically don't know anything about stuff I used to take for granted lol.

It mever got implemented. What they DID do though was changing the RoF slightly and adapting the damage profile to it.

By simply targeting someone will not get you shot at by the guns. You can yellow box them until they get jaundice, and you still will not get shot by the guns. However, once you do an aggressive act like, scramming, webbing, damping...shooting, you will ge shot.

Gate guns can one shot you, however it is dependent on the type of ship you are in, are if you are paying attention. Also it is dependent on which lo-sec system you are in, the lower the sec status of the system...the fewer guns there are.


it all boils down to his, how much buffer / active tank do I have, how fast do i think I can pop said target, how much if any dps can the target deliver, how much will that effect my tank....so math, it tells you how much time you have in any given ship towards another as to how much time before you bag a kill mail or post a loss mail.

EDIT: Also, PvP is not inclusive just space boat or market violence. You also have forum PvP in the form of baiting, trolling and then ganking.
