Right now, piracy in lowsec is pretty much no risk if you have a brain and care about not losing your ship.
Right now, a PvE or Anti-Pirate has pretty much no risk if you have a brain and care about not losing your ship.
Originally by: Leandro Salazar The one main problem with anti-piracy is not fighting them, but catching them. That is pretty much impossible against good pirates. Actually harder than to catch a good mission runner, and all the prats whine about that having to be easier. What goes around should come around...
You don't know how hard it is to probe a mission runner. Seriously, you need max skills, hope they're using drones, hope you can get a good point to scan from and hope that they don't notice you on their overview when you are 50KM away as they do their mission.
Now to address the other points.
A well setup BattleCruiser at a gate can tank the sentries well enough to kill quite a bunch of things. All it takes however is for a Cruiser or bigger to shoot back and then the BC will start dying rather quickly. Conclusion : Sentries do a lot of damage - they can help balance a fight.
Infact it was only yesterday a corp mate was engaged by 2 BCs at a gate in his Cruiser, he fought back, one popped to him, the other jumped through the gate and was killed there. This clearly shows that Sentries are something to worry about for pirates and they sure as hell help.
Stations are NOT POSes - they should NOT scram. Sentries are placed at stations to help - docking is always an option too. Fit a scram on your own ship - don't be lazy.
Sure it doesn't really make sense for you to be able to dock while you have a criminal countdown but it actually makes no difference, at all.
I don't agree with abuse in local, I get a lot of it to be honest, but it doesn't bother me. It's just words and someone being angry because they aren't as good. It happens and I can understand why.
