Tried my luck with holding up people but i totaly forgot about the revamping of the gate turrets so you can probably guess what happened. I for one wil probably not touch piracy ever again.
like my sig? i can make you one for a small price. |

I'm sure if you list more details you might get some advice for next time.
Tanking gates is more than doable and certain ships\setups are better than others.
So if you don't give a rip about your sec status, then it's more than a viable way to make a living pirating.
My personal feeling is that why not just move a few jumps down the road to 0,0 and gatecamp? Do people really think that something special and evil happens when you cross over from .1 to 0,0?????

0.0 is dull, there is a certain fun to be had knowing anyone can shoot at you whilst in empire

Try a Manticore + 2 mates not in gang.
Stealth Hangs around Lows With BCU-1s Meds with Sensor Bosters Highs with 3x Cruise launchers.
Mates scan an indy, if its worth killing you can shoot off 2 or 3 salvos before guns get you. Got 100k Megacyte last week in Yulai - well worth the bomber and sec. status made back up with little ratting.

Correct . But in this case you must have a target worth killing.
For me it was a 15 Mill ship in exhcange for 450 mill ISK. Kinda simple math.

And you can actually one-volley a hauler? Or do you need multiple bombers?

Just curious, why do you use a stealth bomber if you're in secure space. Is the the most firepower for the cost of the ship? Could this be done in a blaster rax or something simular?

Blaster Rax I dont think would survive long enough to pop a hauler. I think one volly from Concord in .8+ will pop'em. Two Caracals should beable to do it in .8. Its 10mil instead of 15, but less of a chance of killing.
That Manticore will do nearly the full three cruises damnage. That should pop a hauler best for the money.

Pretty much correct - Manticore is a guranteed, or almost guranteed kill - currently cruise on Manticore have 40 meteres expl. radius - which gurantess a really painfull encounter with its cruise missiles.
On the other hand there is always a second manticore standing by - in case first one does not sucseed.
So, it is a much better choice for suicide run on an expensive target. One thing to keep in mind... you want to be close to your target so missiles reach him in time. Because, if you go pop due to sentrys - your missiles go pop as well. Avergae distance 20 or so kliks.

the reason for the small amount of damage dealt was due to the weapons equipped which were designed for larger targets any way your smack talk made it worth it :) Plus you probably got nothing out of the can anyway.
