EVE New Citizens Q&A

There are relatively few PvE situations where you'll be encountering a warp scrambler (which shuts off your MWD), but there are several that have warp disruptors (prevents warp, but not MWD use). The issue with dealing with warp disruptors in PvE is when you don't know your triggers yet, and you don't have the firepower / tank to handle all the incoming rats and their damage.

It's an issue with a lack of knowledge more than anything. If you're worried about it or if the damage is problematic, focus your fire on the ship that's stopping you from warping. Align out towards a celestial (preferably one away from the cloud of hostiles) and overheat your prop. You might be able to pull away from the range of damage, letting you pick off the warp disrupting ships, or they might end up dropping their point allowing you to warp out.

EVE Survival is a good place to check for information on missions and anoms before you run them if you're worried about points. If the site is down (not uncommon), just check Google for "EVE Survival mirrors" and you should be golden.

One of the missions from the military career agents requires that you loose your ship. So there are "points" ( scrams or disruptors ) in that mission.

Once you start getting into higher level missions the incoming damage can get significant and in many missions the rats with the points are also the triggers so if you freak out by the fact that you are pointed and just kill the rats pointing you things can go from bad to worse.

You've already been given other great advice that I won't duplicate but the main thing to keep in mind is that NPCs removing your ability to warp isn't much of a thing until higher level content like level 4 missions and 10/10 DED complexes etc...

I run into this a lot on missions, there are certain frigates you need to look out for so in general I kill those frigates first, however sometimes this triggers the aggro of the whole room or a new spawn group and aggro of the whole room.


There are a couple of good strategies to make the dps manageable do a Google search and type in the mission, eve survival will give you a walk through on a fit, best ship to use and what triggers there are, and which if any have warp scrambling.

And 2, if using a battle cruiser or battleship fit a micro warp jump drive, when any frigates come in to close (before 20 Km), jump away get some distance and kill those frigates from a distance.

This has been working great, but still some battleships (Guristas), can hit out to well over 150 km so there are times your best fit will change but eve survival is your best friend.

I can honestly say lvl 1 and 2 missions are pretty easy but definitely there are some lvl 3 missions that get real deep especially if you trigger the spawns a mission called 'the blockade' gets crazy with dps especially with the amount of battle cruisers and cruisers (elite)

As Piugattuk suggested a MJD (Micro Jump Drive) will help you get out if you are struggling to Tank the incoming DPS (Damage).

My tactic when running combat sites and lvl 4 missions is if I get scrammed I align out to a celestial or station away from the hostiles (I believe this was also suggested earlier) and I attempt to kill the ship that has me warp disrupted (Tackled some would call it), if I succeed in killing the tackler and I am handling the damage then I shall continue the site/mission as normal.

In the event that you cannot kill the ship that has you warp disrupted then make sure you are aligned out, activate the MJD and you will jump 100km away from your last position and then warp to your exit celestial or station. But as has been mentioned in PvE this applies to Battlecruisers/Command Ships and Battleships...remember to recall drones first.

Ensuring you have a flight of small drones is one of the best defenses as they kill frigates well but watch them for being shot at by NPCs and as many have said already read up on the mission in advance, this will offer an insight in to the damage types you'll need to dish out and what you will receive this can help in tweaking your fit and understanding triggers.

ONE MAJOR CONSIDERATION...MJDs require capacitor make sure you don't run out or your exit strategy is nonexistent.

Fly safe and Enjoy.

Just FYI, posting KM in NQ&A is not allowed normally. You might want to edit that post a bit, hopefully you won't get reported. Although the ISD might decide that this case was fine, since you're the subject of the km. This is obviously more of a hard knocks experience story and not bragging.
