I was thinking of setting up a solo gate camp in a 0.1 - 0.4 system. I would be flying a mega(sniper) and was wondering what the range of the sentry guns are. Do they change with the sec of the system?
Thanks in advance. |

150km range from the object they are guarding e.g. the gate or the station.

Thanks, so if I was sat in my Mega 151Km from the gate, I would not take any damage from the sentry guns?

As long you donŠt shoot the sentry guns - yes. 151 km from gate - doesnt mather how far the sentrys are away.

I want to quote this in truth to bring foward a common misconception that he correctly described. It isn't 150k from the guns, it's 150k from the gate. It's 150k from the station.
Side question: Ever try to destroy the sentry guns?

I tried this for the 1st time today, my BM left me 161km from the gate, a iteron V warped into the gate with no insta and popped in about 9 second (needed 2 volleys) got a wreck of 750 from that range in my apoc and no sentry gun response :)
this sniping lark is pretty damn fun :)

I don't know....don't knock it necessarily.
I mean lately the belt deal has been '...' for loot. I've scored tons of kills but the modules have been underwhelming in value.

No, it's just another method to have fun killing people. IMHO belt piracy is the single most dull activity in eve apart from mining, but hey, whatever floats your boat. Thats the great thing about eve... everyone likes different stuff. If you don't like it don't mean it's lame.
From a isk perspective, there is unlikely to be much of value ship wise in a belt. At a gate you are much more likely to get good loot, and sometimes a good fight.

I disagree, belt hunting is just as **** and boring as sniping, the pro of sniping is you get more $$$$ and more corpses

way back when you could kill the sentry guns, but they would immediatly respawn. you actually have about a [(6/1000)/(6/1000)/(6/1000)/(6/1000)]/1000 chance of jamming them with an ECM multispec though lol. (1000 on each resist, have to jam each at the same time)

Thanks in advance.
BTW, use an eagle. 4 250mm II, 2 assault launchers, 3x t2 sensor boosts, 2 tracking comps IIs, 3 mag stab IIs, 1 tracking enhancer IIs + Spike M = 215km sniping. you lock frigs and pods so fast your head spins. should take no more then 4 secs to pop and pod a shuttle.
