The fleet will set up with tacklers orbiting at 1000-2000m and all other craft spread in a sphere around the gate at their optimal ranges. This puts EW and snipers in their best positions, spreads the fleet out and puts the fleet at 100% effectiveness for range. Fleet interceptors and destroyers specifically fitted for fast locking can sit at 0m with 0m/s speed with fleet drones (if deployed) assigned to them. It is not suited for mobility however, since most ships will require warping to a celestial object and then back in order to jump through the gate. This type of gatecamp is useful when you know the enemy is coming to you.

== Smartbombing Gatecamp ==

A special form of Gatecamping utilises Smartbombs as a way to deal damage to enemy ships when they either land in a Bubble or directly at the gate. Battleships are commonly used, as they can fit a high number of Smartbombs and can tank the gateguns in Lowsec.

As can be seen in the picture, Smartbombs at the gate are usually set up at >6250m, so they do not overlap with the gate. Any ship warping to a gate will have a short period between landing and jumping the gate. This time is utilised by the smartbombing ship(s) to deal damage.

Pipes from high security space going into low security space are some of the most common routes that are camped. There are multiple types of gatecamps to be on the lookout for, a few include:
