Whats the fun in smartbombing :(?
 Popping those annoying inty pilots who buzz around low sec thinking they are invinciple
Timing the distance from gate to gate, and firing at just the right time to pop a cloaked cov ops
Acting in bombaconcert with other pilots and insta popping cruisers
Podding the ceo of a 6 MOM hotdropping corp a few days later whilst hes flying round in his inty
Hitting the big 0.0 elite alliances in their achiles heel as they roll through low sec happy as larry
Hitting a shuttle and the triangle shows as full
Cans popping out of cov ops ships and the rush down to see what ya got
The blue of a blueprint, and the joy/pain when it turns out to be a copy
The first time you pop 4 frigates in one go
That slight pause whilst the enemys pod is sat there going WTF , and its slight picking up of speed before you pod him indicating hes just got his act together and tried to warp out.
Having a incoming gang scouted, yet still sitting on the gate waiting on your own to try to take out their intys and warp off before the hacs and BS land
STABS on COMBAT SHIPS!!! The joy of warping off when an enraged ceo and his team have spent two hours setting up a trap - yet brought no hic.
Being able to solo pirate, with just a scout
With a standard gate camp - the satisfaction of approaching the ideal of total shut down on a system
Sisters scan probe launchers from Isk farmers in noob ships with silly name (dunno why they always drop these)
Warping to the gate at 100km in stead of 10 because youve killed the inty pilot before and you think hes gonna come in at 100km to check the gate out... and he does.. and you pod him AGAIN!
oh and **** tons of loot - much more profitable then any other pirating
Think thats about sums it up :)

Skunk, can you comment on this setup pls?
I cant really comment so much as ive never used a rokh mainly because i couldnt fly one when i started smartbombing and I havent lost my Hyperion for 8 months odd now.
Ive been told by other bombers the rokh does well as it can tank the sentrys better, but it means you cant fit an istab or two for quick turning as you can on a mega.
Things I would say though:
1)You will also need a cap booster rather then a cap recharger imho.
2)Ditch the neuts you need 8 bombs - scouts should warn you of anything nasty.
3)Fit ecm drones if you can
4)MWD for when you get caught off the gate by something small and need to leg it back to jump though to escape.
5)I found the best success with bomb choice is f1,f2,f3 being Large Vehemence Bombs (em damage) and f4,f5,f6,f7,f8 being Large Notos Bombs (explosive)
The theory being you roll your fingers down f1 to f8 hitting shield with em and armor and hull with explosive for the lowest resists on your target.
Doods that fit all thermal dont seem to have as much success as they are fighting mediocre resists at all time. It does mean though that you can just set up a macro on your keyboard to bang out f1-f8 without any bother.
I prefer the control of doing it manualy.
The bomb setup i use can be altered "on the fly". If you get warning that a ship with only 300 shield is coming for example - you would swap the position of the second two vehemence bombs (in position f2 and f3) to position f7 and f8 (when the enemy will be in hull anyway and hence have no resists.
Fully insure your ship - set up some safes to warp in from (in line with entry gate ofc) - stick up a scout- turn on your tactical overlay - give it a go. Bring a friend with you and the bombs you miss he will hit and vice versa (dont kill each other though lol)
Takes some practice but those are the basics. With practice youll kill maybe 60% of frigs and below.
bombs

I did think about that but wont they just get popped by the sentries? Meh, some drones is better than no drones...

but surely I'm sitting only 5km from the gate anyway... wont an AB do? Besides, they may have a scram :D
5) MY SMARTBOMBING RAVEN WAS FITTED WITH THE FOLLOWING:
8 x CHELMS MODIFIED... 
1) Ecm drones are for legging it if you ever do get tackled by a hic. Of course ever self respecting pilot has 8 falcon alts around the gate at all times so this shouldnt be a problem :)
2) Yeah afterburner would do it now webs aint so good. The boost from a mwd should carry you to the gate though if you get it off pre webbing
3) You have to be like half a km from the top range of your bombs whatever they are. If your warping in and not just sitting on the gate you want to warp in about 4 km higher then your bomb range as you drift and the warp in is not always exact.
4) Lol - maybe not officer smarties :)Unless of course youve made a lot from some ferrogel exploit.
Good luck!
