Does the stage 3 still launch citadel torps? Can it be outranged? I'm using a long range MJD BS, so it'll hit hard.

yes

The online database I use for NPCs shows the torp has a range beyond max targetting range. If you're concerned about it can be destroyed with smartbombs, and if you're outside webber range you can mitigate with speed, even in a battleship. An unwebbed BS with an afterburner and heavily tanked towards the damage type will be ok.

Also it looks like only the guristas and bloods shoot citadel torps. The other torps have far lower DPS. Also the Sansha fleet outpost fires a single massive shot on initial aggro (the gurista one used to do this back when its torp was still EM. It destroyed many an armor tanked ship with low explosive resistances).

To be honest most ships can tank it, I use a rattle and the torp only hits it for 200 after tank % is accounted for. As poster mentioned above just drop a sentry carrier into it and win.

In the past i've dropped a dread on it with a repping carrier, was done in less than 5 mins.

Now adays I use a Machariel (tanks the torp) and a heavily tanked repping dominix (the domi will catch a lot of aggro because it's repping, so i don't bother with drone damage mods on it, just pure tank, cap generation and reps for the mach). The only slight problem is when the neuts in the 2nd wave show us, its fine is the drain the mach, but if they drain the domi its a problem, still they die quickly and the rest of stage 3 is a piece of cake.
