Ok, I need to ask for some advice...
I want to go killing farmers in Ingunn and Perbhe and other systems. However, all my PvP experience has been at belts or in 0.0/hi-sec. So how does one go about this? And how much DPS should I expect from gate/station guns?

None. Because you should engage the farmers in the belts, not at the gates or stations.
Although if you do you should expect around 300 DPS IIRC. It's spread out over all damage types.

Considering that they are haulers, engaging them at the belts might be rather difficult. Even I can't bump them that far. --------

Er...non-bannable response:
Someone who farms isk for hours in order to sell it for real-life cash. Some of them do it by endless courier runs in lowsec. I want to grief them.
Strange as it may sound, although CCP supposedly takes a hard-line stance on RL isk-selling, bad things do tend to happen to those who interrupt the trade.
Oh well. Here goes. --------

Like us getting nerfed.
Now, I'm looking for advice to end the farmer scourge, not flames. --------

I never understood gate campers. I mean you sit there for hours hoping that eventually someone flies within reach.
The two methods I have discovered are the classical warp scrambling method and blasting you to pieces. Or the newer thing where a big ship, usually a BS, actually is right in line with two warp gates (closer to one) and just constantly pops bombs.
Rather creative but does leave too much open.

I always thought that farmers meant either nullsec ratters or macro miners, and that macro haulers was a separate phrase. Ah well. Yeah gate guns do a bit over 300 DPS.

smartbombing is far from new o_0
As far as farmer killing goes, try to maintain your situational awareness. As soon as someone sees you killing farmers, they will try to gank you. Also, if you kill enough farmers- you will get massive ganksquads coming to see why there have been so many kills.

LOL, yup. Had to go AFK for just 20 seconds.
But I already got eight kills before you guys decided to hop in to "protect" them. --------

You've got it all wrong. We were in no way protecting them. We saw a 'geddon and switched to "KILL KILL KILL" mode. ---------------------------------------

You misspelled "Deimos" and hacked some bigger launchers than normal onto your ship. I hope you get into a RL car crash with a train and a fuel tanker truck and a wagon of dung

can you make a safe spot on the route between station and gate and /smartbomb away? Removed. Please keep your EVE signature related to your EVE persona and not that of a real life politician. Navigator |

long range snipers seem to be the way to go here. you are far enough from the gate to not get to much damage from the sentries and enough damage to instakill the haulers. (most are in iteron 3 annyway)
stay aligned to a station so you can insta dock if "others" enter the system.

nope, I believe the usual method is sitting on a gate and approaching your incoming gate for about 5km, then activating your smartbombs and going wild.
