HAC, with the right skills MIGHT be bale to pul it off, AF would be chewed up in seconds.

I've seen alot of HACs doing it, but if you get it wrong you go boom real fast. Best just get a tier 1 BS like a scorp... it's the ideal anti hauler ship.

a Harpii migth pull it off... a hawkii ____________ The cargo bay is overloaded and cannot be made to fit Expanded Cargohold I. It is currently only capable of fitting 8772.12 units and it is currently jammed full with 9558.33 units. |

Yesterday I actually shot someones drone at a gate in a 0.4 system while I was flying a tanked out cerb. (It was all a terrible mistake I can assure you)
I just made it out with my hull intact. I would not try tanking senterys in anything less than a BS.
I am not experianced in such things it must be said, and would love to see it done if poss, but I have a pretty strong feeling that it cant be.
LOL BTW As have just seen your bad word that was ****'ed.

A HAC *might* possibly, mabye a Sac since it has the high resists, id stick a few plates on there though and also align for warp.. but to be honest for the price you may as well go with a raven like everyone else.

Sacrilege with:
2 Med Rep IIs 1 * EM 1 * Thermal 1 * Kinetic
And 4 Cap IIs to keep that all running, can tank 0.4 Sentry Guns forever. Theres no point to it atall, but it can. I suppose the Eagle can too, aslong as it has the cap to run its tank.

Edited by: Arshes Nei on 19/12/2005 18:34:12 I would look at the eagle for that, its practily made for that.
2 em hardener + 1 explosive rest whatever floats your boat. Maybe there are also nice setups with invulnerability fields possible now.
edit:/ Consider using a gistii and a faction amplifier and your cap drain will be so low that you might get away with even fitting some damage mods.

No "might" about it, my Deimos can tank 2 sentries indefinitely.

Ishtar can, I did it briefly, but I wasn't set for tanking sentrys so I couldn't hang around(and my pretty drones went boom )

I overheard in local someone tried it in their Harpy not too long ago. He lasted like 10 seconds before he had to warp out, during which time you could pop a shuttle maybe.

Thats pretty impressive if true... if you could indeed tank indef in a HAC, you instantly have a monster gate camp setup for anti hauler / frig work.
I can't comment coz I can't fly them though

I've used a gistii hawk for nabbing pods at gates. No way would it last long enough to kill an actual ship.

Doing it in anything other than a bs is pointless... doing it in a af is suicide ^^
I did it in my zealot but you wont be able to stay for very long and wont be able to kill anything significant, especially if it fires back, and if it warpscrams or soemthing you are totally screwed as your tank wont hold out.

Not true, my maller with tech II autocannons can kill plenty of haulers at the gate and stations. Maybe it's because you listen to sucky music and dress like a fruitbat?

Oh, it's true. I did it once shooting the stsrgate on the test server just to see. I just about held my tank steady and had 6k armour and 80-85% resists for anyone shooting me to eat through. Of course it couldn't do much else but tank. It would make a nice empire gatecamp but the lows are all tank and that 1600 plate knocks you down to a rack of dual 150mms and 5 hammerheads. And the mids are all for capacitor recharging, though I'm sure one could be spared. You could still tank things long enough to kill them, I'll bet.
EDIT: It could take out a hauler no problem if that's what you're after.

I've got friends who've tanked sentries long enough to pop a shuttle in their Enyo. Maybe a weak t1 frig could be popped too, but not worth it imo

Edited by: 3GG H34D on 19/12/2005 22:31:34 My Maller tanks the sentrys long enough to kill noob cruisers, haulers, frigs AFs and cepters and pod them (if they stay around for 5 seconds) grab their loot and warp off with low cap/armor :) Although not tryed scince the 1600mm mass thing, so may be more tricky.
I have also forgoten about killing someone in low sec and warped to a gate in my retri (medium pulse II, best tank with remaining slots), i survived long enough to stop autopilot, and warp out... to another gate! :( But i had repped my armor a bit in warp and as i was expecting the sentrys to shoot this time i warped, the retri survied prolly 20 seconds too leave with unscratched hull.
Definitaly not possible to tank sentrys for ever in an AF without some kinda support or increadable budget for uber hardeners and reps etc (still unlikly).

10 seconds is 4 shots per 150mm railgun, that can pop atleast a frigate if you're using AM!
