I can think of an example: If both sides of the gate are bubble-able (ex: Nullsec), and you used your Nullifier to go through a bubble on the near side gate (so it is now on cooldown), and as you exit warp and land on the gate you watch their interdictor jump through, you don’t really wanna jump through that gate in a Mammoth with a nullifier on cooldown knowing there’s an interdictor on the other side of the gate.
As to how common that kind of a situation is, is for you to assess and adjust your fit, cargo, route, and piloting accordingly. If you wish to.
