Ok, so I'm a nubbish player and don't have any major skills to speak of. I'm also a perpetual loner. So, with that in mind, does anyone have any tricks for getting through Rancer?

one does not just get through Rancer
to answer less lord-of-the-rings style, fast aligning ship, hit your destination at 0, jump out.
currently the game favors the fast aligning, fast warping guy in low sec, vs his tacklers --

It's not uncommon for Rancer to be smartbomb camped. I'd go with an Istabbed merlin with a MSE and MtWD. + Passive shield hardeners. Should survive a single smartbombing BS.

you could go around rancer. Set it as a system to be avoided. may add some more jumps but its better than dying.
Personally, I've never had a problem getting through rancer, but then again I'm usually flying a frigate or cruiser through there if I am flying through there at all.

I had a fleet firetail get smartbombed while in warp there once. My advise is to just avoid it. Oh wait, nm, please fly through rancer and other low sec systems in fully laiden iterons with lots of expensive goodies in them. Yeah, that's a better plan. Not necessarly for you but for someone out there.

get bookmarks around the gate so you can warp to the gate @ 200 or so, and see if its safe, Smart bombing BSs are usually inline inbetween the gates, so approaching from other directions works.
Oh yeah, avoid low sec, much safer.

420m¦ cargo bay, you can rat in it and it should be able to either warp past the camp or at least run back to the gate easily.
Edit: if you dont mind a bit of skill training the new ability to use covert ops cloaks on blockade runners should come in handy.

Don't listen to these people. Rancer is perfectly safe. you could fly a freighter through there with trillions worth of gear and be perfectly safe.

I will divulge the great secret in escaping rancer. are you ready? We must be quiet.

Right click my name, select 'give money' and enter in all the ISK you have. that should guarantee safe passage.

If you would like to get through Rancer on a regular basis to conduct business then I suggest working out a mutually beneficial arrangement with the locals.

not an option in rancer
best way is to avoid the system, you have other ways to get the final route
normally when big camp not even shuttles are safe
aka locking and scramblim times are less then a sec
and i ve been on the locking side :)

EDIT: Fast enough even when webbed to stand a chance of making it to a gate before they peel off the shields, warps quickly so they wont catch you unless there is a fastlocker; there will be a fastlocker .

Just use a Cloaked recon with some buffer tank. Simple and safe. NO Smart bombing will be able to kill 10k HP with high resists before you can warp. And with a covert ops cloak you WONT be tackled anywhere without a bubble.
