Warfare & Tactics

maybe it wasnt 20..

I was in a Falcon, drunk as fak... I know I have 15 seconds...

I landed on the next gate HEART POUNDING....

In addition to the earlier suggestions it's a good idea to take a good close look at the ships around you, work out who the faster lockers are, who are likely to be packing points.

If they are orbiting the gate wait until those ships with the faster locking times are furthest away from you, if they are well prepped with ogb or faction points you're sol regardless but it can buy you an extra second or two.

If you're not already mostly aligned to a celestial to warp off too, pre-overheat everything, AB, hardeners, Invulns, reps whatever you can to survive and burn back to gate.

If you're against people who aren't stupid, they're going to have people on the other side of the gate ready to catch you if you even somehow manage to get back to the gate.

If you do manage the cloak trick, you're still not out of trouble. Chances are that they are going to follow you to whatever celestial object you warped. If they are halfway decent they'll warp in at varying distances to ensure they catch you.

If you find yourself in this situation, you should put on your best suit, open a bottle of champagne, and pour a glass for the whole ship crew. You're going down so go down in style -- and with guns blazing.

You would be amazed at how hard it is to "insta-lock" a shuttle before it can enter warp.

-Hold cloak
-Look for the celestial that best suits your passive alignment
-Spam warp to said celestial

This will not always works. If they have true instalockers and the are paying attention they will get you.

The alternative, if they don't have webs and you have some buffer, is to overheat AB and try to burn back.

Some camps you simply cannot run. That's what intel channels are for.

Take it like a man die in style

If your ship isn't moving, it doesnt make a difference which celestial you try to warp to it'l all take the same amount of time.

1. You wait for the maximum allowable time. Maybe someone else will jump through, maybe they will jump out
2. You judge the distance to the closest tackler, sometimes you might not be in point range
3. As you uncloak, you approach at a slight angle to the stargate, and activate and overheat your afterburner
4a. If you are going down fast, you start spamming jump
4b. If you are not going down fast yet, you don't jump immediately, but get ready to jump as soon as you start to hit structure damage. You do this to avoid people jumping after you. If it seems you are going down, many will try to join in on the kill, rather than jumping with you
5. You jump and immediately warp off, while locking and agressing a tackler that jumped with you if necessary (gateguns will be on your side, and only 0-2 will have jumped with you if you did the previous correctly.

Of course, if they don't agress if you burn to the gate, then you simply orbit and warp off at your convenience.

If you have a spare highslot, fit a cyno in it and bring fuel. Good chance they'll scatter once you light it, doesn't matter if you are in a fleet or not If it's a shiny camp and you know some people might even be able to make a batphone

Ofcourse once that group scatters you're stuck 10 minutes at the cyno, and they'll most likely realise you don't have friends coming
