Camping a POCO in a cloaky

Does anyone have experience with this?

What to look for?

Juicy systems/planets?

How long does it usually take?

I was thinking about training up a SB, while I have just the bare-bones skills I was thinking of going after soft targets, possibly in low-sec entry systems while I continue to train

Thoughts?

It works, but you have to wait a long long time until someone doesn't notice you in local.,... Rather than camp the poco, camp the station and watch for industrials undocking and warping to planets.

So you blow up an industrial, then scoop up that 200m3 you can carry? That's some exciting gameplay.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

It's a target of opportunity, don't rely on it for most of your targets

You'd get lucky eventually. But as the other poster mentioned, you would probably be waiting hours to pop some noob for an industrial full of P2 loot you couldn't even carry unless you stashed your own vulnerable hauler nearby.

The people who know what they are doing in low sec PI are going to have cloaky haulers and scouts, and your chances of killing them are extremely slim. You'd make about 100 times more isk for time involved if you just took up PI yourself.

If you want to do it, sit off their POS, not any POCO, and wait for a hauler to warp to a poco.
then just follow it and shoot it.

Also, learn to read the planets, much as one reads the spoor of a lion by tasting its dung. If there is a lone Temperate planet in system, camp that. People are always going to be putting this tastiest production chains on the Temperate or Barrens.

Then, train for a Panther, arty fit it, sit at 50km and instapop the cloaky haulers when they decloak. Same for the deep space transports, a good arty rodgering and just cloak up again.
