How hard is it to take out an Interbus customs orbital? Is it soloable? Will anything defend it?

Pretty hard using an Ibis I would imagine.

It's really easy, it just has a lot of hitpoints. I'd recommend a fleet of high DPS battleships such as Torp Ravens to get it done at a decent pace.

I mean, you could try to do it solo. I mean, it is an option.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

nothing defends them, no suspect flags either. so just get a coercer with t1 Multifrecuency crystals, meta modules and go afk, if you are doing a highsec custom then you can upsize to an oracle.

unless your skills are absolutely terrible it wont take long to kill on an oracle.

btw, gardes work too if you lack energy weapons.

btw, do NOT orbit them. just stay on optimal and stand still or orbit at 1/4th max speed or less.

Because POCOs don't shoot back. Tracking isn't an issue when both you and your target are not moving.

Erhm... where are you doing this? Because outside of hisec you might want to worry about player agression instead of NPCs. Orbiting really doesn't hurt (since a POCO has the sig radius of God) and makes it harder for others to get a reliable warp-in on you.

I do them in 3.5 hours with 2 dominixes with only garde IIs and no guns. So it is indeed soloable afk.

Thanks for all the replies! I'll probably just keep on paying taxes for a while, since I only have one account and a Rokh I can barely fly.

A flight of DPS bombers will get the job done as well. Not to mention they are inexpensive.

This is as nice as I get. Best quote ever https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4137165#post4137165

I did it once with an Oracle and a Dominix

A blaster Talos would be a good alternative. Battleship sized guns on a Battlecruiser.
