Now I think about it logically this guys got a point.

If I got a gang of 40 people. Even if I told them they were'nt allowed to fly faster than 10m/s do you still think 4 of you could beat them?

---

Never underestimate the power of dumb people in masses.

Beat a 16 man gang with 2 ships once, 1 battleship and 1 recon vs 6 battleships + support.

Just means that a blob of carebears is not always the answer ;)

And deathbarrage, sure, as soon as TQ is re-mirrored so i have a gistii mwd to fit.

LOL, you can't approach me in a timely manner and not get hit. Its that simple. Trust me, if you approach me in your "6 seconds" I will have u locked and 1 volleyed into hull/armor . I've done it a gazzillion tiems as well. The only way an inty is gonna tackle a sniper that has good bookmarks/ warp in points is if the sniper is a retard.

---

I can easily approach you under a slight angle. And you are assuming 11k/s. In gang with gangmod it's more like 17k/s, which is about...3-4 seconds? :D You won't even lock me before i am on top of you, simple :)

Oh and setup.
1x Interceptor
1x Gistii MWD
1x Overdrive
2x Mass Reduction Rigs
1x Snake set

Less on the chestbeating please :)
Even if u get that gang up where u can do 17km/s (not likely most of the times) then it will take u 140 / 17 = 8 seconds to close in.
That is ofcourse when you come full frontal and you are launched at 17km/s
So take into consideration that even for your incredible fast inty, it takes more then 1 second to come to that 17km/s, and you are using trans to approach, so you will loose again a few seconds as you are going off the fastest line, suffice enough you will a) not easely catch an experienced sniper and b) by then he will have you locked and fired at least 1 volley.
So if you do the calculations next time, do it less theoretical :p

Theorical question : wouldn't sensor damp be useful against inties ?

A single RSD II would bring any inty targeting range below 20km, which is a very dangerous zone for the inty to get into. Of course he could fit a sensor booster, but since inties already have great targetting abilities and slots are scarce, I imagine it's not that common, is it?

Just remember, unlike most faction ships, you have an insane range advantage to abuse. It's hard to kill a Navy Caracal that's parked 100km away spamming missiles. And that's very good for protecting your investment, your expensive faction toy will be safely in warp long before anything can scramble it. But it's a good ship in general, covering most of the Caracal's weaknesses. It's no Cerberus obviously, but the skills and cost are a lot lower.

---

Uhmmmmm.

To tackle a caracal which warps in 100km from my crow it takes me about 6 seconds.
To tackle a caracal which warps in 100km from my vagabond it takes me about 10 seconds.

Come back when you have learned that 100km is nothing.

And yes, people use them, I've killed two so far, they did exactly what you described, and got owned.

Actually there's about 4-5 seconds before a ship can do anything when you notice it warp in, because it is still in warp, and you can start moving.
And yes he will lock me when i will be 40km from him, and miss completely.
Seriously, it has nothing to do with chestbeating, i regularily fly in gangs where my inty goes 11-16k, and I regularily kill dumb snipers.

And you know, you don't even need inty for that, 8-9km/s vagabond is more than enough most of the time.

Anyhow, I have said what I had to say, and I will keep killing gullible snipers who think they are invincible with their 140km range.

i will warp in @ 230km and you'll be 130km away by the time i lock you, with a command ship sig

go figure

anyway grow some balls and meet me on tq

Ryssa, stop trolling. Just because someone is a sniper does not mean they are "dumb" lol? seriously I hope your not any older then 13, otherwise you need to do some serious maturing fast.

this is perhaps a noob question. but in the situation where the sniper ship is getting ganked by the fast ship gang, cause his slow gang is too slow. wouldn't the slow gang just warp to their sniper? seeing as the distance most snipers warp in at is 150km+ ?
