I'm thinking about to head out to hostile space and sit at one of their JB's with a stealth bomber and pop basically haulers and shuttles. Basically, I'm thinking: sit at 30km from the JB, something warps in/jumps in, uncloak, hit sensor boosters, lock, and fire ze missiles. But I'm not sure if I should cloak after the first volley, or just stay uncloaked and fire both volleys without cloaking up again. Are the POS guns likely to wtfpwn me if I do not cloak between volleys?
Also, any tips in general for this sort of thing would be greatly appreciated. |

Edited by: Ralara on 22/05/2008 11:17:18 Takes about 10-20 seconds for them to target you, you should, if you're fast, manage two vollyes.
to be on the safe side, however:
Simply decloak, fire, wait for the hit, cloak, uncloak, target, fire, cloak.
the cloaking will prevent them getting a lock on you. Make sure you're aligned though! |

Okidok thanks, that cleared that up :)
One other thing: I heard that you could cloak when your missiles were below like 30km or so from their target, and they would still hit. Is this true? |

It's possible, yes, they do continue for a short amount of time. I'd put emphasis on the "short". :-)
Try it, with a can in space if you like. sit 30km away, lock, fire and cloak straight away, see if it hits it. If not, reduce the range until it does, or increase the time you stay uncloaked until it does :) --

Go closer, fit a disruptor, scrammed ships cant use the JB.

AFAIK you cant cloak if someone STARTS to lock you. So cloak-decloak tactics might not work, if POS started targeting you. You'll have to rewarp and cloak again. --- Redesign local/scanner feature - make the place huge, dark and scary again! |

Wrong, only a completed lock prevents cloak.

Isn't there a 30-second delay in recloaking? Unless I misunderstand the attributes. ---- What part of "shorn't" do you not understand? |

No theres a 30 second delay from when you turn the cloak on for you to be able to recloak. If you are already cloaked and waiting you can pull off one decloak, volley, cloak, decloak, volley, warp manoeuvre.

You don't have to wait for the hit to re-cloak. Try it, as long as you're withing 50km you will hit just fine even as cloaked.

Are you sure? So I can basically fire and cloak instantly and it will hit? Can't test it myself atm, but I will do asap :) |

I just tried it, even with my crappy missile skills my missiles fly 30km after I cloak before disappearing.
