Some people play what I call EvE "Special Edition"
they jump their scout into the system before their hauler right?
they look at pilots in local right?
they scan for ships right?
they see multiple hostiles in local plus ships on close scan, one of those ships is a heavy dictor...the ONE SHIP that can reliably stand a CHANCE when in a gang to tackle their blockade runner...
they then proceed to jump into said system with their blockade runner.
Blockade runners are already near impossible to catch in empire, my alt is in a Viator and when fitted to run camps you simply cant catch them. Even a remote sensor boosted heavy dictor with 1.5k ish scan res has a lot of trouble catching one. Your math looks good on paper but when you factor in the game enviroment/lag/module delay you wont lock one down with less than mid 4 digit scan res and a little luck, to even achieve this you need a gang.

This "special edition" of yours is also known as meta-gaming and isn't healthy for the game.
No, the spec ed guy is the one that jumps. Meta-gaming may be unhealthy but all it does is simulate a friend. My point was that the camper(s) have to use teamwork to accomplish a tackle on your ship, you need to use teamwork to avoid getting tackled.
A scout alt simply allows people who can manage two acconts to simulate a friend. I for one am happy my pals in game use their own scouts and that I dont have to hop into a shuttle and scout gates for them while they move high value items around low/no sec.

Well we could argue this all day, I have 3 accounts 2 @ 30m sp 1 @25m sp, when I scout with any of them its in a cov ops so if it gets killed something is lost. I do agree that it isnt healthy for the game but it is necessary if you want accomplish multiple goals in a short amount of time.
Without derailing the topic further, my point is that it takes teamwork to tackle and kill a blockade runner (unless ofc the pilot is a fool) so you in turn need to use teamwork(via your alt or friend) to avoid getting killed, it is a MMO after all.

I have never flown a crane.

At least for low sec gates, it takes a well-run camp to lock and scram me. And I'm in a Crane.
Evidently it works fine for him.

Polycarbs reduce your mass IIRC so that in turn helps you align faster. That said I use low frictions on my alts viator, much cheaper similar effect.
