Ok, i've been roaming around null in my Manticore for a bit and i've noticed a couple of guys.

what they use:
1 Rorqual ( in the belt )
2 Orca's
10 Hulks
Sometimes a few skiffs

How many mates would i need to bring ( all in Manticores ), to bomb and torp down the whole bunch fast and efficiently?

EDIT: perhaps some more clarification.
I can field 10 Manticore's right now, do i need more then that to take out the whole bunch, before they all warp off, or can it be done fast enough, using torps and bombs?

Uhmm, bring a dictor too ? And ofc don't bomb your own freaking dictor.

2-3 bombers would get a few kills, any more then that I am pretty sure they would just run to there POS before you could strike because I'm pretty sure they will be watching local chat for a number spike.

Good point, totally missed that.

Perhaps 3 Manticore's first, then scram the fastest targets, then the rest jump in.

I want to take out the Rorq and Orca most of all.
You guys have any idea how much those would drop in terms of value in isk?

if they have any sense they will be alligned to theyre pos and any spike would make them run.
As for the rorq you would need all 10 bombers and need to kill it fast before back up arrives. same for the orca. whoever points it will likely die quickly to drones too... best chance is to cloaky hot drop

Cloaky hotdrop was the intention indeed.
Besides, dropping the bombs first, will almost certainly take care of all the drones ( if you synchronize the dropping correctly ).

2 Guys in Local

One for Cloaky Cyno and the second dictor for making pretty bubbles so that they don't all fly off before you can kill them. Rorq and Orcas aren't going to burn out of a bubble anytime soon.

How about bridging the bombers into system. That way a single covops with a CovCyno could achieve the objective. Keep the dictor out of system and bubble too if needed, or fit the bombers with points.

You could do a black ops hotdrop! LOL
I think they would hide if local builds up.
max SB's i think is seven.
3 or 4 could get you some kills.
make sure all have the same bomb.

You can kill them all, just call your points, have people call their points on other ship, cycle your points if you have to and blow the bejesus out of the small ones first. Then concentrate on the larger skiffs last...I mean if htey are un defended all you have to worry about is drones.
