Best ways to harrass a set of systems to extract sadness and ransom (covertops)

I'm training for covops right now. I'm going to be in a Buzzard first while I train missile skills for a Manticore.

My plan is to use the Buzzard for a few weeks riding around 0.0 picking up target systems / small alliances and making bookmarks to return in my SB

I was thinking about going AFK in the juiciest systems so they get used to my presence. The main goal, is eventually to cause real damage with my SB.

But what are good ways to do this besides just going into a sanctum and trying to kill a BS?

I heard about 'bombing the undock' how is this done? When to do it?

Can I bomb the gates?

Are there any other targets beside just anomalies?

When I do find a BS in an anomaly, this is my current plan: Assume there are scrambling frigs so don't bother fitting a point, dual target painters/ SB/ MWD get as far away as possible and shoot. The only thing is, I also want to bomb the pod and his wreck, how far away do I have to be to do this? How do you bomb (never done it).

Any tips would help thanks

First off, you should join a high sec industrial/missioning corp then go to null sec to harass people. See how long it takes for you to get war decced, then leave the corp.

Harassment done.

Seriously though, you want to find tears this is a good way to do it. BUT (big but) you have to be good at it. You have one chance to strike at something you took weeks to set up. So here are my tips to extracting tears:

Drones can't lock you when u de-cloak, so if you see a dominix with a bunch of drones, de-cloak and fire away, you don't even need a bomb.

align to the BS from 20 km, turn on your MWD and chase the bomb all the way to the target. Your MWD makes it go faster and the bomb does not hurt you. You can bomb gates but it only works if you throw your bomb, turn around and warp away.

Drams die fast to bombs, bomb them when ever you can. Throwing the bomb and turning around works best for killing a dram.

More harassment done.

What this guy said mainly. However don't forget the MWD part when you fire a bomb. Otherwise it won't work.
