Snipping ѕkills
Tеch 1 Mega

Its easy.. you can do it solo and have a hauler alt.. but sometimes you will not get your prey becuse you where solo snipping.. allso it can be a bit dangerus ...


How aboute in gang ..
Thats just funny .. sitting watching a gate shittchating with the rest in the gang aboute everything..

What do you need for a good snipping gang then..
3-4 T1 Gun snipper BS
2 haulers at gate soo they can pickup the loot

place the haulers at gate or at a SS near the gate..

oki everyon in place ..

Activate you guns . but dont target anything .. and be ready when teh prey warps to or jumping out of the gate ..
shout to the haulers to get moving and pick the stuff up.. activate all guns agineand be ready so you can protect the haulers and shoot down more prey when they collect the loot

Thats sound easy..Yhee .. but isnt i a big long lockin time.. yes correct..

too overcome that you need a frig with 2-3 mids and some extra support mods for protecting

in the midslots you will put 2-3 Remote Sensor Booster... and wham almost 1-2sec locking time on the BS you boost..

with that you have a chance to take out preys on instas ..

It would be intereѕting to ask thе Tundragon guys for a few tips... they actually bought their mothership while all their income comes from sniping.

I have made tons of isk and gotten tons of kills snipping snipping solo.

You have to stay aligned, you have to have several spots to snipe from all good distances apart. and you have to keep moving.

After that keep an eye on local. You slip up and miss that one for a few seconds and you're done.

The downside of snipping is your entire fitting is usually set up to help you target fast, increase your range and the amount of damage you do. IE all gank and no tank, and I do mean NО TANK.

My normal sniping gеddeon is 6 t2 tachys
2 t2 sensor boosters and one t2 tracking comp
3 t2 heat sinks 2 t2 tracking enhancers a t2 rcu and a dmg control. ( ok I have a little tank if you want to call it that) sometimes I swap out the rcu and the dmg control for 2 t2 pdu's for increased cap recharge.

I have 1 vollyed 3 haulers in a row in our new home system in the past. The 3 warped in together without instas and none even came close to making it to the gate.

You just have to be careful and keep moving.

sniping is a art

make paths accross a gate .. this requiers a med frig or preferably a interceptor

using the main warp in angles from the gates make bookmarks 2000km behind the gate at maxrange -20 ( so you can hit to anywhere arnoud gate) in line with the gate and 2000 directly opposite to the first two .. if you make a bm at optimal -20 from other side then u get 2 runs down same path from opposite directions make no less than 4 shooting points and the run in and out

set the 3 bookmarks for the run into a folder .. call them IN , SHОOT , XIT that way thеy stay in alpa order and easy to use expand the folder into its own window and stack all the different snipe runs pin them into a corner thats easy to get to and out the way so that you can click warp and can goto warp FAST and dont have to right click and pick the folder then the bm and then warp

ship
my choice was the apoc no ammo needs no reloading time
7x tachyeon best named/t2 if t2 t2 ammo if u can improved cloak(nerfed in kali to scan for cloaked ships?)
2x sensorbooster2 2x tracking comp2 ( i used to use 4x sensorbooster2 but thats now nerfed to hell)
2x large armor reps exphardner power mods as need and then dmg mods for remaining slots

so i would sit 2km away cloaked at full speed aligned to the gate and using a 30deg scan on gate see the gate .. if i saw a ship i droped cloak and when to shooting spot set speed to full(should be prealigned for warpout straight across) targeted and poped target(s) when armor droped to low click XIT and warp off instantly .. pick a new folder warp to in point and align to gate at full speed and cloak

in no aggro or local was empty id warp in to 20 on the point( a little farther back but makes up for moving speed once i start) and sit aligned but stoped once someone came into system id hit full speed and shoot if opertunity arised

advanced
make bookmarks up and down from your shooting points and name themaccordingly and use them to defend your spots if any one tries to charge you warp out come back on the defense spot and lite them up

if you have a second acount have some one ina disposable frig boost you .. be outside 175km from gate or be ready to sacrafice tons of the frigs when gateguns rotate


i used to snipe in ami ... sniping is tremendously profitalbe if you kill everything and check every can ...tons of shuttles have bpo‚bpc or implantѕ and othеr nice tastys in there holds .. also the choke point camped must be a high value one ... needs to be a alince door way or have something of high value ... solo sniping with a alt to scoop loots ami made me a multibillionare

from my personal experiance gate sniping is highest profit lowest risk form of piracy with easiest access to targets
