I have been out of game for a bit and just getting back into the swing!

As in the past I was involved in low sec fleet gate camp!

I was needing some advise!
I need a few good setups if you all dont not mind helping me!

Once again this will be a small fleet gate camp of 4 to 8 ships minimum at all times so I do not have to worry about Web or Scram.. that being said here are my questions


1- Raven Torp knife fighter.. up close and personal and will have to tank the gate guns
2- Apoc Sniper fit
3- Tempest Sniper fit

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
LE

Any tanky cruiser or bigger can tank the gate guns long enough to kill a target with a gang.

Be wary of sniper fit ships since people who think they're funny (like me) might drop on top of you with a frigate or a Vagabond, and you'd be stuck at sniper distance from the gate being killed by something you can't hit.

I wouldn't recommend torpedos since they sort of suck at hitting small targets.

My recommendation? A Hurricane or Harbinger.

The best way to camp a low sec gate is to not actually sit on the gate at all, but in a perch some 10000km or so off the grid with your ships aligned to the gate.

Keep a cloaked scout on the other side (preferably an alt as this is a thankless boring job) to announce arriving ships and counter gangs.

With this method, you dont need to permanently tank the gate guns, just for the gank. This widens your ship choice to include almost all battlecruisers.

I'd recommend using Hurricanes with sebos.

And then their alt decloaks in a Falcon.

It works both ways. Blink

Sniper Tornado FTW. Definitely a sniper Tornado. Also, please post where you're camping.
