Crime & Punishment

Only tools die to gate camps.
I can tell.

Camping Gates was probably invented by us.

Actually, you've been cowering in an NPC corp since 2006, so I doubt you've played Eve at all.



You mean embarrass himself by talking like a particularly immature 12-year old?

Im starting to doubt that this even happened. Ive been to Jan thousands of times in my career and never once have i been targeted and shot at for no apparent reason. The residents there are super friendly and would have probably welcomed OP with open arms had he initiated a convo with anyone ongrid. Theres plenty of time too, considering the 30 seconds of free cloaking you get after jumping a gate.

Again, i doubt this even happened. Forum alt post. No killmails. Boring story. Lies of lengthy career yet has no knowledge of cloak mwd win button.

Don´t know whats wrong with eve gate but TDG exists since 2003-08-21.
m0o infact "invented" gate camping between Mara and Passari 2 months before that.

...but what can I say...where is m0o now?
We are still here.

Even the best of us (of which I am not one) die to camps occasionally. Part of the game, and reason for the rule: don't fly what you can't afford to lose.

My last loss to a camp I lost a 500m or so stratios. I congratulated the campers on littering the gate with so many cans, wrecks and corpses that not only was my stratios unable to cloak, but my frame rate dropped to nothing. I did NOT go to the forums crying that corpses needed to be nerfed.

I know, i was just saying and no offense was intended.

The list of ships that can EASILY avoid ANY LowSec gate camp includes, but is not limited to:

1: Any Frigate fit for sufficient agility to have a <2sec align time. This is possible pretty much when you create a character.
2: Any T3 Destroyer.
3: Any CovOps ship able to warp cloaked, this includes BLOCKADE RUNNERS.
4: Any ship fit with both a Cloak and a hull-appropriate sized MWD, as linked previously, this includes BATTLESHIPS if you can use the MWD/Cloak trick.

I've spent a fair bit of time camping the Nourvukaiken gate in Tama. A known gate-camp hotspot. I'm constantly amazed that we can be there for over an hour (and rolling drunk by that time) and people will still jump blingy ships through unscouted.

NOTE: I'm usually found in an Arty-Insta-Thrasher (with friends) on that gate. No prop mod. No tank. Just lock speed and damage mods. All you have to do to kill any or all of us is get a point on and survive long enough for the gate guns to do the damage for you.

We had a tackle Keres take us all out a while back. He was fit purely with points and tank. He tanked us while the gate guns destroyed us. One Keres, six dead Thrashers (already replaced, didn't want that Thrasher anyways).

I guess i would have to disagree. "back in the real day" you had to spend hour on end making bookmarks for your route to ensure you made it to the gate and not 15km away.
Im not saying i like it but it is what it is.

There is a very easy way to break gatecamps in lowsec.

Drop a butt ton of supers and titans on them, usually does the trick.
