first plan of attack has gone out the window :(

i took some missions to power down generators. first one was pretty simple to complete. this one however i'm struggling with.
its a high sec base. i have just completed a lap of the installation, hoping for a break in the barrier. there wasn't one so now im stumped on how to gain access to the base with out triggering a response, well at least until i can get closer to my target that is 1.4km away from the barrier. any tips out there on how i should go about this. this is my first HSB.

I like using the SLF. Order the mothership to hold position 10km to 15km out and go get 'em.

If you really want to use the SRV, make a beeline for the skimmer control point and shut all of the skimmers down (if the base has one). You can usually hide under some structure to avoid fire from turretts.

Also, you can just stick to the perimeter and pick off the turrets and skimmers one at a time and then rush in.

You can also just use your main ship. Do some quick fly over's to find the generator without triggering security, and then use pulse or beam lasers to take out the generator. You should be able to destroy it and boost out fast enough to avoid being destroyed by the base defenses.

Not sure if I've done any HSB missions, but on scanning missions with turrets or skimmers, I just get up nice and close with my ship and blast them with guns and lasers. You'll be able to target them once they start firing at you. I can usually pick off the skimmers without targeting them just by walking the bullets or lasers into them. The large turrets are harder to kill, so be careful if you have a small ship and/or weak shields. It wasn't a problem with my FDL, but my Clipper had a harder time of it before I upgraded the ship. As I said, though, I haven't done an HSB, just the little compounds with turrets and skimmers, so not sure if that would work with the larger base.

1) outfit ship with many SRVs
2) land outside perimeter
3) target generator
4) 4 pips to wheels
5) charge!
6a) srv destroyed. Go to 2.
6b) success!
7) race back to ship.

Or if they still work, use dumbfires. Lol
