Once your sig stops going down load your shields and missiles. Fire your first 2 missiles uneyed then start evading. You should get 4 in before being podded.*

*I managed 5 yesterday...and yes their were several defenders.
Doesn't that spike your sig!?

I believe when you swap cloaks you might get eyed for a very brief moment, unless this was fixed recently. Is that what you're talking about?

Generally I've had decent luck with just using hvy cloak instead of swaping. I usually just fly up to like 3000k then turn on hvy cloak, mount missiles and go to town. I usually do that as bios though, so not sure it would work well without the nice bios sig.

There are two uses of heavy cloak in regards to stealth bombing

1) To get past a camp

2) To fire missiles while uneyed

Anything else is just a your doing it wrong moment.

You can get around 20 seconds of heavy cloak with energy ga, not long enough to run up to a base, however it is long enough to launch a fair amount of missiles and with the super low sig as long as you stay at the far ranges of your missiles you remain uneyed by the base and unless the defenders have pulses or scouts you should launch 4 missiles, if they do have pulses and scouts out then more manuvering has to be done.

with ic heavy cloak 2 you get like 80 seconds, enough to launch uneyed like 6 missiles and run away if there are no scouts present.

Not all the way, plus you are far enough from the base not to get eyed.

QUOTE (Correct)At 3k switch from Sig to Hvy Cloak[/quote]

People do read. They also wonder if that 3k range is always Correct, since garrisons have over 3k scan range and belters SB (maybe some others, too) have over 100% sig.

Anyway I think I get the idea. Thanks for explainations.

You forget the sensor GAs which can $#@! up the calc as well. Starbases are impossible.
