4x Republic Fleet Small Shield Extender + 1 x Damage Control II fitted to a Stiletto will get you past one, maybe two BS smartbomber but not three. Have to bounce moons etc, set bookmarks in a Rifter speed fit first I think but even then what are the chances they thought of that too? /Scratch those plans they have 4 smart bombing.

If you can pin them down on the gate right after they finish smartbombing somebody, the gate guns will do most of the work. ---

I think the Gank Prix event is pretty cool. I completed the Southern, Eastern and Northern routes last night in one sitting, on an alt with no implants, with under 1m SP in a Tech I Rifter. I got hit by a smartbombing Apocalypse and Rokh at one gate, and was down to 400 Hull remaining but made it through the gate. I was bubbled and locked by a Sabre at another gate but burned with AB and made it through. I was locked by a Jackdaw at another gate but escaped. I saw many many monuments I have never seen before (favourite was the Black Monolith in Dead End I think) and visited parts of space I have never been to before. I got what was it, 8 free SKINs and 10 free Boosters, and had a good time. If you died doing it, you died, but we can’t start saying things in EVE are no fun because of death surely, not in EVE of all games where death / ship loss is supposed to be just one of those things. And yes, it was a bit of a gankfest, gankers paradise, Gank Prix, but what a thrill if you made it through in one piece. Content for all. Because you know, gankers just wanna have fun too. ---

That’s 5x more expensive than my Rifter with 3000 more EHP and aligns 1 second faster, and still my cheap old 8m Tech I Rifter made it through all 3 routes earning me all 36 points. 99% of the Gank Prix is luck. ---

I ended up doing this after all. I grabbed one of my 4M SP alts, plugged the Expert System in, and took off in my Ares. It was a little challenging to get a sub 2s align, but if you can manage that, this is very doable and I enjoyed it. Challenging, but not impossible. A nice mix of high sec and low sec, with some nullsec at the end. ---
