Survivable - Bombers

Last night our fleet was following a band of 'enemies' down in null sec. As we were in the wrong ships to engage them our FC decided a good idea was to spread our bombers out and gather intel on the enemies movements and operations. You may think the enemy was expecting this from us, knowing about the prevalence of spies and the sometimes competent opposing FCs, and you would be right. So they put up a gate camp with Broadsword bubble and Rapier tackler included and managed to easily kill our first scouting bomber as he jumped through the gate. Now as many of you know already, a bomber is a paper lion. Very capable of hitting hard, have devilishly quick manoeuvrability and is fitted with the best possible cloak. The combination of these three attributes make it possible for a bomber to safely get out of most of these competent gate camps even if a sizable fleet is enforcing said blockade.
