Missions & Complexes

I am running combat sites in 0.0 (Sanctums & Havens) I am toon rich and was wondering about a couple of things.

I was thinking about ratting with 3 characters total, 2 archon pilots with 14 sentries each and 1 Damnation with target painters and armor links. The archons have 1 remote rep each.
The tactic is that I warp the archons in at 80 - 100km and the damnation in at 40 - 50km, the archons use sentries to take down the medium and large size things while the HM damnation takes down the little things.
Ok so now that you got the basic idea here are my questions:

1. Can I make deploy the sentries and make them assist the Damnation, so when the Damnation target paints a target the sentries start shooting it without drone control range issues or the archons having to have the target locked.

2. Do the sentries take alot of damage so far away, will I have to rep them or will they destroy everything before it comes in range? (Running angel sanctums and havens)

Using Bouncer II's

Thanks

Two Archons is a good idea.

Using them in the same site is not, since you will lose a ton of potential isk to frequent warping as opposed to just having them on individual sites.

The third alt can be used as a cyno / scout / beltratter in some relevant neighboring system. That way, if your Carrier gets into a tight spot, you can jump to said alt or cynogen in that system.


1) You can assist them, and it bypasses your own targeting. This can be useful for having some warpstabs, though having a scouted cyno is better defense since you won't be running any cap hungry mods.

2) Your sentries will be fine. If you leave them there unwatched, during 1 hour of running 3-4 anoms you might lose a sentry, but not many (tested). If you watch them, you wont lose any.

3) You'll need drone control range rigs. They are cheap, as are CCC's. Consider them your ammo cost for ratting periods.
