Got my work cut out for me.
Got a fleet issue tempest sitting 150k off gate in low sec popping ships as they come through.
I'd like to kill him. All I've got is an Ishkur and some time.
Any ideas about tactics and fits? I'm assuming he'll have a neut in the free high slot.
But could I ever break the tank? Assume I'm up against against a heavy neut and have cap boosters, will I be able to keep the scram powered?
Some thoughts please.

Edited by: The Djego on 21/11/2010 19:47:48 Well you could try your luck getting a BM with a cloaked ship and warp in with a cap booster + nos setup.
A arti pest will have in general just a buffer so it isn't to hard to beat, but will require some time in a Ishkur. Kill the drones and all you have to worry are the neuts.
However a good tempest pilot will get out(ECM Drones or skill at neuting you to warp out). Good thing to you is that most people using a pest are not this good.

Tempest doesn't need to do anything to kill you if it can tank the gate guns which will pop your Ishkur quite fast...

Allow me to clarify...
Tempest is quite blinky red. Plus I've got kill rights.

Also Gate guns got 150km range, and if you are sniping you will not do it in sentry range...

To anyone in a frig fighting a bs. Nos is your friend. A small nos has a much shorter cykle time then a heavy neut. Use an AB and a warp scram to keep your cap usage to a minimum.

Bolded the parts that seem like a good idea maybe perhaps. Cap booster because while a nos should work alright, it's rather tiring to time the cycles right. not to mention that if you mistime once, he's gone (or you're dead, or both). Also, shooting occasionally might be nice. Buffer tank for obv reason.
Anyways, i very much approve of this project of yours. good luck!

Honestly, get a small gang together or something. Gate snipers are the weakest kind of 'pirate'. Even other pirates will help you kill one.

back during the nano age i saw a 10km/s megathron with full nos orbitting and ishkur and dropped heavy drones on it.
The ishkur calmly nos'd the drones, rep'd the damage, and killed them.
You have 1 very good option: Fit 2 nos and 2 blasters - 5 light drones, Warp Scram (+2 scram), web, afterburner armor rep, DCU, *flavour*
Get lots of bookmarks around the game @ 150km (or get a friend in a cloaking ship to follow him). Jump in, warp to your spot and start the attack. With artillery cannons, he wont have any tank.
Your best bet however is to have a friend in a covert ops de-cloak and get a point on him. He will most likely be sitting aligned to something for insta-warp. You back them up as they get neuted then you arrive with 2x nos - activate one, wait 3 seconds, activate the other. Then slowly humiliate him. kill drones as they appear. -------

Use a stealth bomber to point him before warping onto him as he's prolly aligned. No locking delay after decloak ftw

U don't need cap boosters, when you're orbiting at 500 and got neuted by those heavies, you will still be able to scramble him and he won't be able to mwd away to hit you. Scrambler only needs 3 cap which you get in 1-2 seconds, and those big neuts have long cycles anyway. That tempest ain't go nowhere. If you get under his guns, he won't be able to hit you at all. You just need to take his drones.

I'd probably go with at least 2 nos, just to be extra paranoid.
and a web would be nice too, that way if he does manage to neut your point off he has to accelerate to warp.
as for the lows I'd go with a rep, explosive hardener, and dc II.

I love the people giving him fits with only an AB when he hasn't stated he has a warp in. Do you expect him to slowboat it over 150k with a Tempest shooting at him? I mean, really. That is rather idiotic.

If this is the guy I'm thinking of he tried it on with me last night (or night before). However, apparently he couldn't lock a cyclone fast enough to get a shot away. :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "If men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail." ~ Ulysses S.

If he's armour tanked, then he's gonna have at least 1 webber... and he'd have more drones than you too... good luck :D

Sniper battleships aren't tanked.
Try stickign a full rack of 1600's on a tempest with enough +optimal and +lock range to hit consistently at 150km then fit a tank aswell.
I'd be impressed. -------

That's what I wondered when I first created this post. For that reason I misrepresented a few of the details.
But I've talked to a few guys in local since then. Seems this character has a habit of sitting on gates with a smart bomb (probably in a different ship). I'm sure the fact that one more pilot is out to get him isn't really going to be news.
And for the record: He's not really in a tempest. They guy is in a Mach.
I'm making bookmarks now.

There is a big difference between a fleet pest and a Mach...The Mach is MUCH harder to kill. It's not as hard to fit a nice shield tank and 1400's on a Mach and get an evil sniper at 150km+. If the Mach didn't have at least one flight of light ECM drones he would be an idiot.

If it's a Mach, you're going to have a really hard time without a warp in and even then it won't be easy or quick. If he's not dumb, he'll have a full set of med and light ecm drones (or two sets of light ecm drones) and will be aligned out. The ecm drones plus his neut will most likely give him more than enough time to warp out.
