Anyone know a good way to attacking NPC Haulers in empire space ?
The sentry guns are like what 150 KM ?
Has anyone figure out a way / method of conducting such attacks?

You have to catch them warping in from afar.. Or wait for them to slowly travel out far enough to avoid sentry guns.
But you will have to wait. Because ever since patch day. The NPC haulers appear to be on strike. They only sit out infront of the stations now.

is it when the convoy is 150km out or your 150km out?
some good longrange battleship guns with long range ammo isn't/wasn't to hard to get close to that far

it's when you have 150km between you and any sentry guns near by.

With the right tools, the right tactics it can be done. Just takes practice

Dont forget: Some sentries have 3-500k range, good luck attacking convoys, make sure your lined up to warp

I really think they should remove all sentries from .2 and lower space. Or gradient the range of the sentry registration range, i.e. a sentry may have a range of 150 km's, but it only bothers with it if the target is within 25km's in 0.1 space or something. Would make .1 more dangerous than .4, for example.

well .. the turrents / sentry guns either need to not attack you when u attack a NPC Hauler / transporter or they need to make a New path to which the NPCS are clearly attackable with out sentry gun issues

I miss the good old days when sentry guns only had 70K range and you could follow a convoy out from the station and kill it. Got 150 Harvester drones off one hauler back about 5 months after launch. Still go 20 left over a year later :-), come to think of it I still have ammo left from killing convoys....LOL
Remember when they also used to drop complete ships and 10 - 20 skills books at a time. Damn them were the good old days.......

Works from time to time ...as I have seen it a convoy undock I take approch and adjust my speed ...but when I got to 120k from sentrys...poff gone
Convoy with protection perhaps don't dissapear after that period..but alot of times I have seen them in 631km range from station but never a convoy without protection ...the otherones just seem to be a fillout now.

You could load a scopion up with sensor boosters tracking enhancers, 425mm rails and titanium rounds and sit there pounding them at about 300km out.(pre patch not to sure now)
