EVE Gate Camp Checker

Purpose and scope: This tool analyzes gate camp scenarios in EVE Online by converting fleet composition, ship fittings, engagement constraints, and gate dynamics into a quantitative forecast. It does not simulate live combat but provides repeatable projections to support FCs and pilots deciding whether to initiate a gate camp or defend a gate. Primary users are fleet commanders, alliance leaders, and solo PvP pilots planning ambushes or gate defenses, who require numbers and timing over micro-maneuvers. The tool is intended for planning in advance of high-stakes engagements.
Conceptual model and features: The tool collects inputs for attacker and defender fleets (ship types, counts, typical DPS, effective hull/shield, resist profiles), engagement range, and gate constraints. It computes aggregated DPS, aggregated hit points, and a kill-time estimate, then compares the time to kill with defender survivability and potential support. Optional features include sensitivity analysis across DPS, range, and fit quality, as well as cap warfare considerations and module effects (web, point, neutralizers). Outputs include a recommended fleet allocation, win probability, expected losses, and scenario notes. The model uses a transparent, deterministic calculation to enable quick comparisons between alternative builds.
Use cases and value: FCs validate planned gates, optimize force composition for a given cost, and identify risk thresholds that trigger reinforcements or retreat. The tool supports multiple scenario comparisons, enabling rapid decision-making under time pressure. By focusing on gate camping dynamics rather than generic PvP metrics, it offers domain-specific insight for alliance operations and individual pilots.
