I'm looking for ideas on what would be a good blockade running setup. I'm not too concerned about the amount I carry, just being able to get there in one piece.
What I have so far:
High: Improved cloaking Device II
Mid: Large shield booster, 2x Passive Tech II EM shield hardeners
Low: 3x Warp Core Stabilizers, 2x Nanofibers.
My logic for this is as follows:
High slots: Couldn't think of anything else to put there besides a cloak, may be useful to jump in far away from the gate and try to maneuver through gate campers, would consume a large amount of time to do that though. Or simply cloak at a warp point other than the gate and wait for the PvP timer to wear off and then log.
Mid: Pretty self explanatory, the Bustard's bonus is for shield boosting, hence large shield booster. The Bustard also has high shield resistances except for EM so I got the two EM hardeners.
Low: My main aim with this setup is to be able to jump and not get warp scrambled, I'm not sure how many WCS I need but I have three at the moment, donĘt know if this is overkill or not enough. Nanofibers give speed and lower inertia and donĘt take cargo space so they seemed like a good choice.
Appreciate any comments or inputs

Seems like you'd be better off with tech 1 named active EM hardeners? If you're short on cap to run them, you could swap a nano for a PDU. What's your EM resist?

Why not just use a Crane ?

Well while the Crane has the plus 2 to warp core strength, it has just about every other stat much lower than the Bustard.
As far as resistances go right now with what I have it's:
Em 54.6%
Expl 60%
Kinetic 70%
Thermal 80%
I am saving the cap to run the shield booster.

There is nothing you can do with ANY hauler, not even Blockade running Transports, that will let you reliabley get away from a serious gate camp. You might get past a few times, but more likely you'll lose the ship the first time.
Non-serious gate camps, however, can be run if you are nimble enough.
The only thing that has a "good" chance of getting away from serious gate camps are nimble frigates.

Well went out last night and bought a crane, pretty nice ship. While it doesnt have as much cap, shield, cargo, or power grid as the bustard, it does make up for it with speed and agility. Plus it's alot cheaper than the bustard so I won't mind losing it that much.
Will test it out with the gate campers in Aunenen....

Can you or anyone else elaborate as to why you believe this?
