=== Crashing gate ===

To crash gate, the camped ship must travel 12 km back to the gate model without dying from the gate camp's fire. It can use defensive, tanking modules to do this, such as shield boosters or armour repairers, and it can use [[propulsion equipment]] to speed itself up, such as afterburners and MWDs. It should ''not'' do anything which would give it a [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|weapon timer]], as a ship with a weapon timer cannot jump through a gate. This means that it cannot use EWAR including ECM bursts, EWAR drones (or any other kind of drone), or any weapons.

It also means that ships fitted with [[Command Bursts|command bursts]] ''cannot'' use them in this situation, even if doing so would help their tank, because firing command bursts gives a ship a weapon timer.

To prevent ships from crashing gate, campers can use warp-scrambling to shut down MWDs, webs to slow the ship's speed, energy neutralizers to shut down any active tank, and fast-applying burst DPS or alpha-strike damage to kill their target quickly. You can also use a command destroyer to "boosh" a target 100 km off the gate, which stops them from crashing.
