So, we're minding our business, flying through space on the way to Jita. Damn, that's a long route. Prefer shorter, hey that's much shorter! And only a handful of low sec. She'll be right. Jumping into Rancer. | So, we're minding our business, flying through space on the way to Jita. Damn, that's a long route. Prefer shorter, hey that's much shorter! And only a handful of low sec.

So, how to avoid. First up, don't go into lowsec. That cuts right down on the possibility of a gatecamp. But, maybe we're at war, or really need to get through this system. Good news! We can find information in the Evemap, in Dotlan, in our intell channels and from experience. More on Evemap later, but it's easy to show kills in the last hour, and chokepoint systems that should give hints that blappage is happening. | So, how to avoid. First up, don't go into lowsec.

What if we want to find them, either to avoid or bring the fleet in? Well, as unimaginative and feeble as their constituent members are, gatecamps will often frequent the same places. Checking killboards will find likely locations from kills and the pilots area of operations. | What if we want to find them, either to avoid or bring the fleet in?
