 +There are two main targets for smart bomb ratting in Esoteria. Rock havens are done with a team of smart bombers (typically Machariels) and a catching ship (typically Nightmare) whereas Sansha and Sansha'​s Rally Points can be done with a single account. Havens spawn 10/10 escalations and Rally points lead to 6/10 escalations. While the Rally Points don't have great ticks, the escalations sell for ~100m each and the rally points are completed very quickly.

 You will need a minimum of 3 smartbombing ships, and one "​catcher"​. The catcher ship will sit 5K off your other ships, and will have guns and web, and shoot anything that gets out of the range of the smartbombs. Primarily, this happens right at the beginning when you are getting setup. ​ You will need a minimum of 3 smartbombing ships, and one "​catcher"​.

 The ships to use down here for your smartbombers are machariels. You can also roll cheaper ships, such as Amarr Battleships,​ but the convenience of the machariel (which is being firesaled a bit now and should still work fine afterwords) is its warp speed. ​ The ships to use down here for your smartbombers are machariels.

 If you want to make a bit more, you can juice it up with some implants. My suggestion is the smartbomb one, then ones that help with repair, cap, and armor. EO-60X, EP-705 (smartbombs),​ EM-80X, RP-90X, and HG-100X. They also might save you, along with the MJD, you get a dread spawn. If you want to make a bit more, you can juice it up with some implants.

 So once you have all this together, undock your fleet, turn on all your armor/​repair/​sebos/​etc. Now find the nearest Sansa Haven that is a Rock Haven and warp your fleet to it. You will know these as when you warp in, they pop up with the message, while gas ones do not. Have all your smartbombers approach the Pirate Gate at 0 by activating their afterburner and fire up all the smartbombs. Tell your catcher to stay 5K off of the gate or one of your bombers, either works. Once the bombers are at the gate, you can turn off the afterburners. I add my smartbombers to fleet watch and sit on my catcher, web and shoot anything around 9-10K or more. In about 3-5 minutes you will be done. Then hit the next site. So once you have all this together, undock your fleet, turn on all your armor/​repair/​sebos/​etc. Now find the nearest Sansa Haven that is a Rock Haven and warp your fleet to it.

 +===Bombing Sansha'​s Rally Points===
 +Sansha'​s Rally Points with the apostrophe are the preferred target. You warp into the site at smartbombing range, immediately start smartbombing. Grapple the final room battleships to ensure they don't get out of range. You do not need to kill the towers to complete the room.

 +===Bombing Sansha Rally Points===
 +These rally points require a two MWD pulse towards the centre of the blob of npcs. Start smartbombing. If ships get out of your range do not chase them, turn off your smartbombs and put your drones on them. Do not have your drones on auto-aggress because you don't want them coming back into range when the next wave spawns because you will initiate smart bombs again.
