I don't have one. But I got killed by one. The guy was GOOD. I thought I was real cool with my bookmarks but when I entered a system it still took me 13 seconds to warp to the next gate in my Badger2. On a BS I usually warp right as they lock me. But this guy locked, scrambled and hit me with cruise missiles in probably less than 13 seconds. I had one little trick up my sleave that got me away without being podded but otherwise I was a dead duck.
It was pretty sweet the way he totally worked me. I knew I was screwed so I was already on Plan B when I still had half armor and full structure (Plan B is the little trick where you don't get podded). But I tell you, I will never look at a Blackbird the same way again. This thing was a total assassin. I think I might try one out.
So what setups can you expect to find on the typical BB? I checked up on how long the guy has been playing and I'd say he has from 1.7 to 2.3 million skill points. I know he had an MWD and probably more than one scrambler or a disruptor (since my single warp stab did not work). So guys, what did he have in his other mid slots? What would you do?

you don't exactly need much skill to kill an industrial.

I've ran a number of blockades in an indy. I'm sure you sit back and pick off stupid indy pilots all day. People who are unprepared. I use bookmarks. I'm only vulnerable for 13 seconds per system. That's pretty ******* good.
It also depends on the attacking ship. Battleships don't have the target lock time, frigs don't have the punching power or slots for multiple scramblers. And people generally don't camp gates with cruisers from what I have seen.
Lastly, did I ask if it was easy or hard to kill an indy? No. I asked what a good/typical setup on a Blackbird was.

The above setup is ok.
The best setup is to get another buddy in a blackbird. Two blackbirds are a menace. Someone should start a corporation that uses only blackbirds - 5-6 blackbird armada. Especially if the pilots had skill set < 5 mil, so clones would be cheap.

Good idea. Until they meet up with the all Scorpion corp.

Sensor boosters for quick lock time?
