Can anyone tell me how to outrange the sentry guns on part 2 of Serp Ex. They seem to deal out damage from miles away and I had to warp out (with 10% hull left). Any ideas on how to complete this section?

Well... you COULD try getting closer and destroying them. Usually works for me.
Seriously, what are you using to do the mission, what ship, loadout, etc? I've never had trouble with the sentries during extravaganza missions.

I'm in a Vexor, using rails (2 x 250 AM, 2 x 150 iridium)and drones. Seems I need to fit 1600 plate to survive for long enough to take them out. These are the gun turret that surround the 2nd jump in point. I lost my ship first time around, so hit the afterburner straight away this time around, but the range on those things seems immense. Tell me if I am doing something terribly wrong here.

Yep, the range is something like 50km or something along those lines. I usually do missions in a Deimos, so it's not hard to soak damage from a pile of turrets while getting in range, or letting drones do the work.
The latter is usually my preferred method of taking them out, since usually that level will have a cruiser or two sitting there that aggro you right away. I'll deal with them while my drones do the dirty work. :)
Not sure that's a good mission to bring a "regular" cruiser on though. Consider a HAC or a BS.

Thanks for the advice. I'll start saving up for a new ship then!

You could probably also do them in a battlecruiser, but it might take some experimenting with the loadouts. I haven't tried it with my Brutix, but presumably I'd have issues finding a decent fitting that works with most missions.
Used to do them all with my Megathron with rails, but I find doing them with the HAC is much more enjoyable because it's so hands-on.

There's no need to kill the sentry guns. Kill the lone cruiser and then jump through the gate. You don't ever need to kill any white colored sentry guns to jump through a gate to the next level

With a vexor.. huh? use a mega tank setup use the platerax setup but using only medium drones to kill the sentrys and... get a bc or a bs ;)

Its doable in celestis... or even a punisher so long as you orbit close to the guns.

So kill the cruiser quickly and jump through to the next level is what she advised.
