== Snipers ==

A common tactic used by our opponents is to fit a high damage ship such as a Battleship or T2 Heavy Assault ~~Cruisers~~ (Eagle, Muninn, Zealot ~~etc~~) with extremely long range weapons and then warp to a bookmark that puts them a fair distance from the ~~uni~~ fleet (typically >100km away). They will then proceed to sit at long range and snipe at smaller and less tanked ships such as ~~tackle and EWAR~~ frigates, ~~kill a few ~~and ~~then warp away before anyone can get to them~~. If you are in a ship ~~with a thin tank~~ such as ~~the ships mentioned above~~ you ~~need to~~ be aware of this tactic~~, and~~ if a possible sniper warps to a gate camp at range be ready to either warp off to a planet or jump through the gate. Unless the fleet commander has ordered otherwise it is acceptable to jump through a gate or warp away to save your ship. ~~It is highly recommended that smaller ships be aware of snipers and be prepared to egress if they are targetted.~~

They will then proceed to sit at long range and snipe at smaller and less well-tanked ships such as frigates, interceptors and some (especially EWAR) cruisers.<br>

If you are in a ship such as these you should be aware of this tactic - if a possible sniper warps to a gate camp at range be ready to either warp off to a random planet or jump through the gate if you are targetted - or even before if you have an exceptionally thin tank and are susceptible to being [[Eve Lexicon#Alpha_Strike|alphaed]].  Unless the fleet commander has specifically ordered otherwise, it is normally acceptable to jump through a gate or warp away like this to save your ship in these situations.<br>
