Why don't you try to fly a covert ops frigate out to meet your friends? The ability to instantly cloak and warp (or power out of the bubble under the relative safety of a cloak) will really help you traverse through gate camps....

At the same point in time, I HIGHLY recommend you learn about warp bubble mechanics BEFORE you attempt to venture into nullsec.

Frankly, you sound very uneducated in terms of PvP, Warp Bubbles, and general survival....

Flying a shuttle will typically get you through lowsec safely, until you hit a smartbombing Camp.
Smartbombing gate camps aren't terribly common in lowsec, but they are there...

Flying a shuttle will typically get you through nullsec safely, until you get bubbled traveling through a gate, or land in a drag/pull bubble.
Bubbles are part of 99% of all nullsec gate camps...

bubbles can be circumvented once you know how

(safes off the warp vector into the gate allow you to divert past them).

Thank you to those of you who offered constructive input to enhance my gaming experience here in EVE.

The most constructive input i can give you is to not give up on playing eve IF you like the game. Every new player has a steep learning curve. They must learn the strategy of MINIMIZING losses before they can learn the strategy of pvp (if that is what you want to do).

The good news is, as already been touched upon, that there are tools out there that help you. An example is covert ops frigates, and blockade runners (for traders).

If you want to play eve... just keep learning the mechanics and not give up all the time. If you get a ship loss, dust yourself down and try again.
If you remember the number one rule (always fly what you can afford to lose), picking yourself up shouldn't be too difficult (and you learn something from it - hopefully).

Every time I come back to EVE the game has changed. I enjoy it for a week or two, then inevitably I get podded trying to meet up with some friends in some low sec sector. This leads to me cancelling my account and walking away from the game again for a another year or two. So my options are to either stay in high sec doing missions until I hate the game so much that I punch my computer screen, or being a lucrative career of VELDSPAR mining!

Guarding a jumpgate is one thing, having a field of warp disruption is silly. I do not mind dying to players who are skilled and have trained their characters to kill. But how hard is it to kill a character who can't warp away? I imagine quite easy. But I have never been on the opposite side of that. Maybe I am wrong.

Anyways, thanks for the moments in space.

ITT OP thinks he can simply walk into Mordor.

LOL
