Can a stealth Bomber be an effective Gankship? With TPs and BCU would this be a good ship to take down miners and haulers?

Well than someone is a-going a-huntian tonight.

How high sec can I hunt in with enough time to kill my prey (realisticly) before going pop? Or better yet what are the avrage responce times for CCP?

I think there's gonna take a loooong time before CCP responds to you. But maybe in a few years they nerf stealthbombers or something because of you.

I always like to make a differance Lol

But I can't take full credit as this is common practice in EvE. I hear they won't insure ships poped by CCP in the future though.

fire from as close as you can (point blanc if possible) flight time could be a factor

CONCORD on the other hand might show up sooner rather than later...

Your gonna want max BCU's in lows, a MWD or AB in mids and then fill the rest with TP's. Use navy torps and use a cloak until you get really close to your target ship then uncloak

The gallente SB might work well for this

Don't cloak for suicide gank. Covops cloak adds too much to cost. Don't waste a mid on prop, fit for max tp, position yourself on ap route off pipe gate and stay there.

I have delayed my hunting until I gain a few more levels in Covert Ops. The 15% per level DMG bonus Will most certainly make a great amount of difference in this endeavor.

I of course realize that once I go POP, I will need an alt to retrieve my ill gotten gains. Also will use said alt to scan the cargo holds of ships for target selection. How does Concord view said alts? If I was to be fleeted with said alt to gain a fleet bonus will both ships be destroyed or only the ship that is involved in the attack? I have in general avoided the wrath of Concord and thus am not 100% aware of the politics involved.

Only the ship that actually aggressed will be concorded. Since concord doesn't view targeting and scanning to be agression, your alt will be fine. Scooping the loot also doesn't count as aggression, so good to go there as well, unless you accidently shoot the wreck. Then your S.O.L.

scanners are passive, use a 'that module that doesnt tell them know youve targeted them' then scan them, they will never even know theyre a target.
use a hound or nemisis for most damage, then its as simple as 3x dcu, torps, and 3x TP
the higher your skillz the better you will get a big bonus between lv 4 and 5 tho it is a (relativly) long learn
