Evil doers..
I thought we could get a thread going to explore everyones fave low sec gate camping setups (not 0.0). Most ships have a setup that works, with enough gank to kill, and enough tank to survive the sentry onslaught. Or maybe you snipe....
A whole thread of peoples best setups / ships for the job would be a nice resource for anyone wanting to try this. Please post what you use daily, not what you would buy if you were rich. Also include a brief outline of tactic used in use. Please no flames, just setups.
I'll start the ball rolling here...
Ship: Raven
Aim of Setup: Fast lock / tackle / light tank (3min under sentry fire) / good multi range damage against any sized target.
High: 6 * Cruise Launcher II, 1 * Heavy Diminishing NOS
Mid: 2 * Sensor Booster II, 1 * 28Km Scrambler, 2 * Invun Field II, 1 * XL Booster II
Low: 2 * Halcyon Stabs, 1 * Named Sensor Amp, 2 * Ballistic Contol II
Ammo: T2 Presision Cruise. All types carried to switch depending on target faced.
Drones: 15 Lights
Tactic: Sit right on gate, kill traffic outgoing and scramble and kill incoming traffic before they can even warp. Spit out drones to draw sentry fire when fighting another BS. When flagged sit at approach point and warp on top of gate when target at gate or about to jump in. You NEED a alt for this to work cloaked in nextdoor system to spot targets and threats (anti rat blobs)
Here is a blank bit to fill out

It's a good setup, but you're bound to get flamed...

Only thing im curious about is how you plan on tanking sentry for 3 minutes with that set up....?
I would have thought you need a cap booster in there somewhere to keep you afloat, and always best for if the **** hits the fan as well ;)

A cap booster is essential for the tank I agree.
I reall enjoy fitting three F-90's and locking outgoing ceptors/AF's with a BS... not something they expect :)

It's tanks for 3mins under sentry fire and still 'in shield'. In a fight I run it right down to hull before warping. With drones and this would take it past 4mins I'm sure.
Every setup I try I time it's tank, yeah abit sad... but it means it's always the best possible fitting.
No room for cap booster...

Hmmm fair enough, though having your drones tank is supposedly an exploit no?
As for warping out when you are in hull, it just takes a tap of a button from a passer by to ensure you leave in a pod if they have a scrambler fitted ;)
Fair enough with the timing of it but I would not sit there till I was in hull, and having a cap booster can really keep you rolling for some time :)

I can vouch for the fact that that set up works just fine... a buddy and I were popped on a gate by tiller just before xmas... took about 10 secs to destroy 2 rax's

appologies I did not notice the stabs fitted Tiller.
Looks much better with them you can cut it fine on warp out at least ;)

I have a BM that is 220km from the gate. Then i fly towards gate full speed. Only 147m. Once i see a ship i warp onto the gate then click on all my high slots. I use 2 named Heavy Nos as my warp scrambler. I can also tank the sentry guns for about 4 minutes til into Armor. I get alot of kills by this method.

Yeah dive bombing is a nice method... I stopped using it due to my habit of landing on the first member (tackler) of the fleet on the other side lol

WEll can add a setup of ships in a gate camp.
If you want a good camp that covers alittle more and are hard to catch.
Ship 1
Tackler: Domi/phoon, alittle cheaper and are infront so to speak.
Idea:
This ship locks fast tanks hard and nosses stuff to hell.
CAn have alot of drones aswell.
Ship 2
On a warp in point
Tiller's Raven central firepower!
Ship 3
Tempest/Mega.
This is fire power on a distance and tackler popper.
Warp in on sniping range from a point that is made between 2 points so you won't have anyone warp in on your neck.
Important as you don't have much tank on this ship.
I would go for the tempest for this because of the stacking nerf and more med slots.
A Target painter is good in there as it helps all.
WEll the basic gatecamp setup if in hot areas.
A fun one atleast
On a serious note that much covers the diffrent gatecamping classes.
As the stationary snipers is fading away.
So if we should cover this what setup do u use for the diffrent roles?
The tackler
DOmi
ex all nos 2xsensorboster 2 scram and a web.
and tank in low
The tempest I would kit out with
6x1400 2x standard L
2xsensorB 1x trackcomp and 1xTP and a Large shield booster
Low: 3xgyro 2x track 1x pdu or something similar.
Teh raven tiller much covered but I don't know about the stabs m8
