I know all about drawing fast ships off bubbles to engage them solo using mwd frigs like the incursus and 'ranis, but I was wondering how successful a more suicidal approach might be.
I like flying dangerously and am in no way precious about my k/d ratio. If I care about anything it's about pushing limits. It's also about doing something about gate campers in a way they may not be expecting.
Most of these tackle frigs on camps have had speed or even fitting mods in low where they really ought to have some sort of tank... often even forgoing a DCII which is frankly laughable. I figure they can't take too many cycles to pop.
Would plating a frig work for taking out inties/EAS etc within a bubble or am I simply not going to get the dps out before even a small camp pops me?
I was thinking of a plated incursus: cheap, still fairly fast, cheap.
Please consider how I am doing it wrong.

I don't think you can do enough damage before the gatecamp destroys you unless it's a really ****ty and small gatecamp.
If you really want to annoy gate campers then a stealth bomber might be better.

Pull them off instead. Drag 'em around celestials untill a tackler gets too anxious to tackle you and kill him then.
Suiciding inside a bubble won't do you any good (and is likely to fail).

I hit a 20-30 large gatecamp a while back in my Harpy which was setup for soloing- MSE, Extender+Anti-EM rig, etc; a bit more tanky than most frigs/interceptors involved in gatecamps usually are.
I initially tried to burn back to gatecrash, but as I was AB fit and they got a web+scram on me very early, I had no hopes.. I waited 10-15 seconds from initial decloak before deciding I wasn't going to make it and tried to take out some ships.
I think I ended up killing two frigs and an interceptor- highly worthwhile (although a gistii MWD was dropped instead of popped from an enemy inty, that would have made the kills very successful)
Point being, in a gate camp people get complacent, fit slightly differently, and assume you are going to panic and die quietly. If you can fit out a tanky enough frig with some DPS, you are likely able to pound down at least one ship- in my case, a Raptor that got 800m from me and allowed me to hit him with Scram+Web+Blaster DPS with little to no transversal going on. I don't know about burning away, successfully getting out of range of the main gang itself as well as taking down multiple small targets (inty's, AF's, frigs) and escaping (or not) before dying, but taking out targets in a suicide attempt is definitely possible.
Good luck!

Arty Thrasher's insta pop non tanked inties just fine. A suicidal run into gate camp is no different although depending on the type of ships there you may got insta popped yourself.

A BC is great for this sorta thing, jump it into the camp and make back for the gate, either the inties and dicters have to get within scram range to stop you, or you jump back though, once they are, you scram/web and obliterate anything small and expensive
