Not that I am a hunter of such things, but it is something I have intended to do anyways.
With the changes in Sentry gun range around stations to 150km, what does that mean for this kind of gameplay?
Don't convoys warp well before reaching 150km away from a station?
Say you manage to kill a convoy at 100km away from station. You would then have to wait like 20 minutes or so before getting the loot or the guns will gank you?

Right now, convoys are still warping out/in at around 120km, making it impossible (or rather, extraordinarily difficult) to hunt them. I' read on EVE-I that a CCP dev said this would be changed to account for the sentry gun range, but I haven't been able to find the original post here.

We won't talk about how many cruisers I lost this weekend, nor how many nice railguns, or T2 enhancers. We're going to skip right over that. We're going to talk about my new Raven. It is like flying a small city, and the city's only export is missiles.

Scan them, pick the one with the best cargo, and move out to 150km+ range to gank it.
With clever use of modules/skills you can still hit hard at 30km with a cruiser and kill the hauler before he warps off.

Modules and skills I don't currently have access to, leaving me with nothing to do but mining and agent missions for the next month. *shrug*

That reminds me. Do you take any kind of hits security wise when attacking a convoy?
I know the corp that owns it starts hating you, but anything else bad happen when you kill a convoy?

No sec hit, although you take hits to your standing with that corp as you know, but also hits to the Empire that corp belongs and its allies - so if you were to hit an Imperial Armaments convoy (Amarr), you will take hits to your Amarr, Amamatar and Caldari etc standings... And will gain an increase in standings to Minmatar, Galante, and the various other factions that dislike Amarrian corps…

"I'll change convoys to accomodate the change to sentry guns. This was an oversight on my part. An upgrade for sentry guns is on the cards to make them choose targets better."

Today with my kestrel I was able to sit at 152km from the nearest gun and destroy an entire convoy, they came to within 20km of me by the end, and I didn't start firing till the closest one was 35km away. I was using heavy missiles btw.
