Alright, I give up. How do you survive gate snipers from vaporizing you instantly at 197km with 1400mm guns?
Thanks to the sensor boosters improving range AND lock on time (bonuses that really need to be seperated), they can sit well out of sentry gun range, insta-lock even an interceptor with <30m signature, and pop you before you reach the gate despite travelling at speeds of 1+km/s.
Besides fitting a MWD on an interceptor (and making you an even bigger target for those massive guns), how do you get passed these guys? You can't approach them and deal with them, you can't outrun them, and the sentry guns cant touch them. So what's a traveller to do? Please don't just say "instas". DUH (some low sec systems are so often camped that even getting instas there is a problem.

If your wanting to kill him I would say Force Recons to lock him down and kill. If your wanting to get past without instas and your saying Interceptors with MWDs arent working you could try Covert Ops Frigs or Force Recons.

Warp out before the sniper gets a lock or fit plates and/or nanos and pray.

T2 ammo for the lose.
Aside from that though, there's serveral ways.
A covert ops can fly right up to them, then your mate in a megapulse geddon can jump in, warp straight on top of the Tempest and ***** him open.
Before you decloak, have a look where the Tempest is. Is it in line with any celestial objects? Yes? Then 1 or two warps and a BM or two will enable you to warp right on top of him.
Does he come here often? If he does then bookmark where he sits and again you can warp in top of him.
One thing to consider is that to pop you at that range he'll be sacrificing most if not all of his midslots, and likely be unable to run a tank in his lowslots, so if you do get close, you can nail him. In addition the T2 ammo has a nasty tracking penalty, but generally if he's using +range modules they also improve tracking, which can go some way to compensate.

Better to whine on the forums about T2 long range ammo being completely whacked than paying them :) Paying them would only encourage them.

Yes, 170KM range, and what can you kill with that, before it enters warp?

So you mean you can lock down a frigate, shuttle, pod or destroyer, and kill it with T1 ammo before it gets into warp?
Congratulations, you're a liar!

1) Put a MWD on an interceptor, unless you have something really clever in mind putting an afterburner on a ceptor is horribly stupid
2) Instas
3) Warp out? There aren't 150km+ warp disruptors
I'm Ex-Biomass, that makes me cool
But now I'm KOS and it's all about the manlove

I wasn't really being serious.
But I might consider it if I was warp scrambled, but a sniper? I'd take my chances and warp off, especially if it was the guy claiming to kill everything under a cruiser at 170KM with tech 1 ammo.

Evemail me a few, or give me a link where I can see them.
And if you really want, I'll come down in a destroyer, frigate, shuttle or shuttle - you choose. I'll jump through the gate, If your Megathron with rails and T1 ammo sitting 170KM off the gate kills me I'll give you 1 billion ISK. If I enter warp, I get 1 billion ISK from you. We'll choose a neutral to hold the money before we do it. You only use the megathron, no bubbles, cans to bump me, other ships etc.
Fancy losing 1bil?

Yes please,
I'll be back in EvE in about 5 days and would be happy to approach you from 170 km in a tech 1 frigate.
If you arent stabbed up with light drones I may even blow you up.
@the OP. A sniping bs with t2 ammo should never kill a ceptor if the pilot knows what they are doing.
A nanofibered indy can also get away if the pilot does not panic and its only 1 bs.
