I Found You… The Insta Probe Tactic

4

So you think you are good at camping Gates? Stations?

Do you use Insta-Probes?

Probably not.

The best way to describe this tactic is probably with some examples. So here we go…

You land and sure enough there are 20 pilots and a several bubbles on the gate. You stop to consider making a run down to gate and sneaking through when all of a sudden a stealth bomber uncloaks beside you and points + webs you.

The enemy fleet lands and you kiss your ship and pod good bye!

Example 3:

You are being camped into your home station by some blob. Again being a smart pilot who visits EVEProGuides.com often, you have already setup an …Read More…
