Basically, I am a fan of fighting from range. My favorite t1 frigate is a rail merlin, and my favorite AF is a rail harpy.
I'm interested in flying some sniper cruisers. However, I don't have access to large numbers of corpmates right now. I was playing around with the idea of a friend in a stiletto and myself in something at ~100-120k, though I feel like that's a waste with only two people.
What is the minimum number of people required in a gang for such tactics to work? Any advice/suggestions for implementing this properly?

Honestly, if you want to snipe in sub battleship gangs, your best bet is a beam-laser Zealot or a cheap Commorant.
Your other option I guess is an Eagle, but you won't have the DPS to pop the better cruisers/HACs before they close on you.

I take it you fly Caldari...
Caracal
5x Heavy II's
0-1x MSE 0-1x Invun 1-2x Sebo 1x MWD 1-2x TP
1-2x BCU 0-1x DCU
Caracal is you Tech one choice depending on if you use Faction or Scourge and prefer a Range Tank or a Light Tank, Caracal can not handel much more. Rigs and Drones to which one suits you.

I fly Caldari/minmatar. I lack the missile skills at the moment for t2 heavies.

It depends on the range, really. The Eagle seems to scale better with range than the zealot. The zealot is, however, better at midrange (40-80kish).

The eagle is in no way shape or form better than the zealot at anything but whoring onto killmails.
You might want to check into the munin.

Rupture Tremor 70km
4x 720mm Tremour 93km 2x Small Nuets
1x LSE 1x Sebo 1x MWD

Cheap but less Dmg, Tank and Range.
70km Opt 160ish Gun DPS

So the prevailing opinion is that railboats are poor? Why is that?

Moa can easily snipe past 120km, optimal range. The damage is poor (about 150 with 3 damage mods), but it IS a t1 cruiser hitting at 120km.
Honestly? Better off fitting a rack of blasters and warping to your tackling friend to finish the job nice and proper. Fix Rockets in '08 '09 2010 2011 2012?! |

Edited by: Idicious Lightbane on 05/11/2010 18:43:45 Zealot and Muninn if you want to put some isk/sp into it. Muninn has a very high alpha but lower DPS, Zealot has lower alpha but higher DPS, both have about the same range (110km optimal sniper fit, zealot some 290 dps, muninn 230 I believe)
You might concider with tackle running a mid range zealot that basicly flies like a minmatar nano ship, has 50km optimal on scorch with around 500 DPS.
