How many Nemesis would it take with bomb launchers to successfully take out the average gate camp?
(Low security / Null security)

In this question, please allow for the variables of losing nemesis ships between bomb launches and friendly fire, if any at all.
Also expect there to be at least 1 battleship in the gate camp.

Not even worth the effort.


Don't try to "risk free pvp" with stealth bombers because they aren't what you are looking for.

Bombs will not hit the whole "gatecamp".

A good bomber fleet can cause a fair bit of grief to campers but they’re not an easy answer for safely taking down a well run camp.

If you want to learn about bomber antics, and get first-hand experience in the sort of ops you’re referring to, then I suggest you get yourself onto the “Bombers bar” chat channel and head on out and join in on some of their fleet antics.

There are also a couple of earlier posts in this forum section concerning bombers and bombing – search em out and read.
Good luck, I may see you in Tribute if you get out with that gang.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

I don't think you can shoot bombs in low-sec. In null sec, 14 bombers (20 in fleet) is enough to kill a standard hellcat..... (or a fleet of them if you're lucky). A 20 man bomber fleet will force just about anything off of a gate camp.

In low-sec you need to break up gate-camps differently. Using bombers will result in a lot of dead bombers. I would tend to want to break up low-sec gate-camps in sniper Tier-3's. Gate campers are going to be SB fit or short-range fit and sniper Tier-3's will be able to push them off the gate without taking many (if any) losses.
