Ok, through the year's I've given this a try every now and then to no satisfaction.
I want to sit at the gate in my BS and smartbomb all the pods, noobships, and shuttles coming my way.... only every time I try this, i'm the required distance for my SB's 6750kms, here comes a pod, I got 2500 volley, but nothing happens to the pod.
They are continuously going, got enough cap, etc, but nothing. I'm in-line with the other gate, guys have to pass by me.
Is this a luck thing? Is it a timing thing? what am i missing here?
When do i need to start lighting them off?
Thanks for any of your help. |

Thanks for any of your help. You are probably setting them off too late or too far away. If they get into warp they become invunerable and cannot take damage. |

1) Activate tactical overlay. 2) Whenever the pods/shuttles are within range, activate smartbombs. 3) ??? 4) PROFIT!!

Timing is the key, ideally you need an extra scout on the gate they are jumping in to tell you when they warp, a stopwatch and a list of flight times for each ship from gate to gate.
Funny but I am now expecting flames and people telling me the united know nothing about bombing. |

Just so its said once:
Some people might expect smartbombers and will warp to a celestial object close to the exit-gate before warping to the exit gate. |

Alternatively you could just light the smartbombs when the pod is inside your radius. Lists and stopwatch sound very professional, but I doubt every ship has the same amount of nanos, inertias, and even pilot skill.
OP: It's nice if you have enough cap to let all smartbombs run, but you will never get even a noobship if you don't practice timing and hit that ship with all bombs at once. |

that method is used for SBing down Covert ops ships(for the rest non cloaky ships u just need mastered timing and understanding of when ships actually leave their invulnerability status) ,ofc theres another lot easier method that doesnt require a scout and a stopwatcho bomb down those pesky Covops,but i aint rico revealing stuff about our precise SB business for free. |

P.S. SBing is not just sitting at one fixed system for ages and blowing up the usual clueless travelers , It offers lot more than that with the required dedication and knowledge of the mechanics u can become a killing machine that will be feared by actual pvpers
Also you can use exploits to not appear in local right santo? |

your SBs would need to cycle right as the pod is dropping out of warp and still in range. very unlikely. |

cycle them, do it on manual count as the visual graphics usaly lag behind. sb's are also bugged after 1 cycle there is a chance that sb actual cycle but dont apply damage. its petetioned and bughunters know this. CCP FIX BLACK OPS FFS |

I was actually hoping for a response from The United, since y'all basically wrote the book on it.
Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'll keep at it.
I know I'm not hitting anything but the gates cause I'm not loosing sec status.

i bolded the part that puzzles me. you can not activate smartbombs when you are in range of a stargate. depending on the smartbombs you use, get as close as you can to the gate (from memory: T1/best named = 5000m, be at least 5001m from the gate, T2 = 6000m, be at least 6001m away from the gate. deadspace/faction/officer = see the range of said bomb)
Also. we (the united) did not write the book on smartbombing (read : started smartbombing high traffic pipes), that "honor" falls to Heiiki, if memory serves me well. at best we wrote the sequel
PRO-tip 1: use tactical overlay, hover your mouse over one of your smartbombs (after target shows up on D-scan) to see the range of your smartbombs. depending on your lag/latency, as soon as your intended target is about to hit or is inside the smartbomb bubble, set of the smarties. takes a little practice. (lots of lag : set off bombs before target hits bubble. again, takes practice.)

i assume i'm hitting the gates because they are firing at me when i lite them off. I don't believe i'm hitting the ships with the charges though because I haven't lost security status.
Yes, i know you need to be away from the gates the distance of the SB's area of affect, but..... |

Ahhhh, i found out my mistake. I obviously wasn't lined up correctly with the incoming ships.
I lined my ship up as if it were a mobile warp bubble, and presto!
Worked like a champ!
Thanks for all the help!!!!! |

OMG, that was hilarious.
Stop pretending you do anything more than roll your face around your keyboard whenever something without guns is coming your way and running like a ***** when it's something that might possibly shoot back. Unless you're practicing to be a space-comedian, then please continue regaling us with tales of your heroism and valor. |

Like was mentioned earlier, you can't hit the gate because you can't activate the SB while in range of the gate (or a station). But you have to go another further 1km out from there to avoid pissing off the gate guns.
I don't know if its a falloff thing, or just an extra buffer they programmed in or what, but that's how it is. If your SB range is 6750, you have to be 7750+ away not to trigger gun aggro on a miss. Here's your sign... |

I have fact checked this, The United in fact did not write the book on this, we did however bomb the author, write the sequel and loot the movie rights. Felt this needed to be cleared up. |

Considering that not many amarian militia members managed to survive my mighty ''Phoenix Marie'' and the usage of an alt to pour out ur rage only shows that u were one of those floating corpses around my ship |

Stop assuming and check your log. /edit: The gateguns fire at you because they don't like AoE weapons near gates. |
