Warfare & Tactics

Use a neutral alt to make an insta-undock.

insta-undock
it needs to be within 5degrees of the angle you leave the station and at least 150km from your ship when you hit warp

There are a number of ways of dong this, the easiest is to have an instra undock, however its a bit of a lottery making one that works well enough.

I looked at your ships and you were using t1 frigates fit for combat, so you might be better off looking at the Atron and fitting it to align with nanos and rigs that assist aligning, then warp to your instra. make sure not to loiter at your instra undock due to probing. Be aware that their fits may be setup to instra lock so this means other approaches.

One method is to undock something that they engage before the ship that you want to get out, this will give you an added second, then just dock up the other ships, what you need to do is press CTRL SPACEBAR then activate your tank modules on that ship they will lock that you should click warp to the instra on the other ship as soon as you can after that, don't forget to dock that ship up fast. Getting a corp mate to do that or using a second account works well.

The people camping you are high SP mercs and know how to PvP and fit their ships, that in itself will make it difficult for you.

To answer the OP's question: if they have numbers, it's going to be tough to break through by undocking and flying past. If there's just one or two of them, fit warp core stabilizers and a buffer tank, and you can probably sail past them. (I assume this is not nullsec.) If they are keeping the station pretty well camped, consider logging in to the game in the morning before you go to work, and just leave EVE running. After camping the station for 18 hours with no one undocking, they may slack off a bit and go camp one of their other war targets. You can use a neutral alt to scout the outside of the station (preferably one that they can't tell is your alt -- no overlapping corp history, etc).

You have other alternatives. For example, if your ship is not rigged, repackage it and make a courier contract to wherever you want to go. Or again hand it to a neutral alt to transport it somewhere. You can undock in your capsule which warps instantly, and they cannot catch you.

If you have a jump clone, you could simply jump clone to another system and do what you want to do there. It might be a nice idea to have a "vacation home" far away in one of those islands of highsec surrounded by lowsec, so you can essentially jumpclone to the other side of the galaxy when you have a war at home.

If you don't have a jumpclone, the cheap alternative is to make sure your medical clone is set to a different home station, and just self-destruct or let them kill your pod. (Pull out your implants first, so the enemy doesn't get a high-value kill mail.)

Clone.
Jump.

Even with the variation in undock angle, a properly-placed station warpout bookmark will let you get out the majority of the time, even against insanely high scan res campers. If you're not in warp within two ticks (minimum amount of time necessary for someone to lock you), your bookmark is in the wrong place or you're waiting too long to initiate warp.

Ideally, you'll make a bookmark off-grid with the station (I prefer many thousands of km) which means you'll want to be doing this in something going 5+km/s. But, under less-than-ideal circumstances, anything over 150km from the undock point* will work, so long as you can get into warp again before you get tackled.

Side note: stations that have vertical undock vectors make for excellent basing stations. (This is one reason why I primarily operate out of Amarr space.) To make a warpout bookmark from a vertical undock station is nearly trivial: undock, ctrl-space to stop and wait to stop, start moving ahead at 10% speed, manually steer your ship perfectly down (or up in a few cases) using keyboard controls, then set speed to max and wait. Manual controls also help a lot with making bookmarks for non-vertical undock stations, but you have to eyeball it; there's no hard coordinate limit doing the work for you.



*This is an important distinction. Your warpout must be 150km from the station undock, not the station.

I generally prefer much further. I was just speaking to the bare minimum requirements.

Quoting for truth.

Use peace-time to set up good bookmarks around the area, in particular insta-undocks for the stations you might use.

Since you are at war, you can use a neutral alt to set up the insta-undocks. Test them with the neutral alt to make sure you truly warp nearly instantly. Always try to set-up your insta-undocks to be off-grid from the station. If you do it on-grid, clever hostiles might guestimate the location and jump on you when you reuse the bookmarks. Do not linger at the undock point either way: if they really want you, they can probe you down. You should have safespots or at least celestials to "bounce" to.

Remember that when you undock, you are invulnerable for 30s or until you take an action (movement command, module, target, etc), but CTRL-space (stop) doesn't count as an action! So, if you undock and are uncomfortable with warping off, you almost always have the option to CTRL-space ASAP, wait out session timer and redock; they will never have a chance to lock you. This works in most stations, except some "kick-out" stations that spit you out outside of docking range. It is very important to know if your station is a "kick out" or not! Skilled use of bumping (tricky to do) by the hostiles can also send you outside of dock range.

Just my 0.02, someone with little high-sec experience but used to the life of lowsec. If the station is camped and I don't have instant-undocks or the ability to fight the hostiles, I jump clone or go do something else.

There, fixed that for you

Tell me more. Does that straighten you out when undocking? Or are you giving me a method for making the BMs?
