I've seen a lot of talk about so called pirates tanking the sentry guns in low sec space since this patch was announced. The main question I have is what kind of ship would be required to do this? Would they need a BS or HAC backed up by some kind of Logistics Cruiser to accomplish this feat? I don't mind dodging snipers at gates, but would prefer to know what other potential hazards to look for on the scanner.

Tanking the sentries been done for ages, you just need an apoc with 2 large reps, 3 hardeners. Other setups work too, just that's the easiest.

I have seen a Geddon tanking the sentrys damage and killing indys in 0.4 space.

Me too, this one time I saw this guy tanking sentries, I think he must've used a sploit.

It all depends on your ship. It's worth noting that your average battleship can pop an indy and warp out even if it's untanked if it attacks at the proper range. It'll probably be down to about half armor before it hits warp, but that's how it goes.
A tanked battleship, on the other hand, is a much nastier customer and can last far longer against the sentry guns - basically, it will last until its capacitor gives out - and that can be a very long time, indeed, especially if it's an Apoc. A Raven is also rather good at tanking sentry guns, and one volley of cruise will wtfpwn an indy if the Raven's running a damage mod or three.

ahhh Liu Kaskakka I believe I have seen you tank station sentures at least for a few seconds.. And this was several months ago :). I would think you would be able to give more feedback :)

Another note: the sentry guns at a station are significantly more powerful than the gate guns, so you need one of the stronger tanks if you want to gank people outside a station.
(Note that I am not a pirate, I just shoot BoB wherever I see them if I'm in a combat ship.)

Having never tried any sort of piracy (i'll get to it some day when i get bored of being a law abiding citizen), is it not possible to just destroy the turrets?

No you cant, only billboards
gates and sentrys you will hit for 0.0 damage

they just get 0.0 damage.
And indeed an apoc can tank them for a long time with 60% resist across the board and 2 armor repairers but any additional damage will most likely break the tank and since you'll need to fit a scrambler and all that your cap won't be able to keep it forever.
Easy enough to kill indies for sure.
