    Just follow the fleet and pick up lost drones. The money is better.

    But now that he has posted this, and we see his name, it’s always a good idea to try and give the drones back to the pilot, if you are seen scooping drones and not trying to make the best effort to give them back, you could potentially be banned from WTM, if you try and join fleet.

    For those who don't know, smartbombs have no effect on wrecks, so yes it is possible to loot after a SB gank.

     

    Smartbombing only enough to kill logi and hoping the rats will kill the battleships has certainly been done. From what I understand it has never been particularly successful. My opinion is that it is a terrible strategy. The call from FC as soon as it is clear smartbombs will kill logi in such a scenario should be to broadcast a warp to and in all likelyhood only 1 or maybe 2 battleships will actually be scrammed by rats, and the rest of the fleet will warp off safe. You are looking at trading probably 10 SB battleships for (if the gankers are fairly lucky) all the logi and 3 battleships (and all the wrecks will be inside a live site and difficult to loot)

    Dont get me wrong, I'm sure the paperwork on that is still hell for the incursion FC, but from the gankers' POV it's not an amazing victory unless the rats happen to pick their targets well, and even then it is a pain in the ass to get the loot out.

    Gankers don't like plans that rely on luck. The only efficient way to do it that I can see is to essentially pipe bomb the entire fleet outside the site as they land.

    (targeting a single well chosen battleship is another way but unless the hq system is in a 0.5 or 0.6 it doesn't make sense because you could just gank battleships as they move through the pipe systems which is easier and cheaper)

    With a spy in comms or a very good scout you could get your fleet into system just as the target finishes a TCRC, when they may be too distracted to see a 30-40 person local spike, and then you warp to their beacon right before they do, and wait there for the fleet to land.

    As soon as they land you start locking them up. Each SB Battleship should have a few scrams. about 6 seconds after the first battleship lands you start smartbombing and scramming everything. You need enough smartbombs to do probably 120k damage. 150k for safety. In a 0.8, as I said, I'm guessing between 30 and 40 SB Battleships should do it. About 15-20 seconds after the smartbombs start 2 haulers warp on grid; they should land just after everything is dead and the bombing has stopped (everything includes all those shiny ascendency pods) Hauler 1 loots all the wrecks and jettisons cargo. Hauler 2 picks it up and warps off.

    The FC will not broadcast a warp to, instead will tell the fleet to warp anywhere BUT asteroid belts(Sansha are in them), the time it takes for the FC to broadcast something + the line pilot to right click+warp and then get into warp, you’ll maybe lose a few more then if everyone just warped out.

    it's not the whole fleet it's certain people also the one that cannot use PRESS TO TALK for real are annoying AF, But I do enjoy flying WTM especially when Super hoover, Fiona and Ergon are around.
