Ok, if you were in a bomber (or another ganking type craft) and were looking for some targets in a wormhole, so you pull out your combat scanners and pin down the location of a fleet consisting of 2 Drakes, a Dominix and a Ferox; would you go after them(and if yes then how)? |

As a solo bomber pilot, this engagement profile would be tantamount to suicide. With sufficient backup, unless the gang in question poses some sort of threat - e.g. intruders in your home hole - it's not really worth the effort.

For me, always go for the kill. Find a way. Refit. Assess your situation. If its just you, wait for the salvager and pray to bob.

drone range is roughly 54km without range links on the domi.
you stand no chance alone against that.
okay unless they all had their drones out and you bombed the drones off the field, and the domi had no spare drones.
very low probability of your success. |

Call for backup, only sensible thing you can do in that situation. That is not a fleet that you can solo-gank, too much DPS potential for any gank ship to handle. Drakes can be a PITA to gank as it is because of brick-fits, and BS are hard to break with most gank boats tho something like a domi could be handled by focusing drones before grinding the ship down IF they are solo.
If backup is an option tho, I would bring in a bubble ship (dictor or HIC) to hold the enemy fleet on field (assuming they are staying close) and then come in with 3-4 DPS ships (T3 cruisers preferred) and at least 1 neaut boat (Neut legion would be best, tho amarr recons would be ok as well) to help take out any active tank. Would focus the Ferox, then the domi, then the drakes. |

Decloak, orbit domi/them at 20 with AB on to mitigate sentry damage, OH launchers and go for first myrm, then second myrm, then domi, then ferox. Once they launch lights or meds, align out and warp as you hit armor. |

It helps a lot if they are already taking sleeper aggro. I've killed many ratting drakes this way in a solo bomber.
Just don't get in point range if you expect them to be PVP fit and try to stay aligned. Worst that happens is you fail and have to warp out. And fit a bit of tank to give you some margin for error.
