I'm going to list off the type of bomb runs you can do, from least safe, to safest.

First off is the drop and align. You make your way to where you want to be, while cloaked. You point in the direction you want, decloak, drop a bomb, and warp away. You're vulnerable to a point for the entire time, which can last up to 6 seconds. A good 'ceptor pilot will get you. Bad ones will MWD towards you and die. Some will MWD towards you, take damage, but NOT die, and keep going to kill you.

Second is the drop and warp. You set up your position so a celestial, or a safe you've made is directly behind your target. Align to that celestial, wait until you're in range, decloak, drop bomb, and immediately warp. Almost no risk, but requires you to take a long time to set up your position.

Third is the warp and drop. Very simple, especially if there are no bubbles on the gate you're warping to. Have someone watching the gate, or take a look yourself. If people are in jump range of the gate, or aren't moving at all but have a definate position, warp out, decloak(and wait a few moments until you can recloak), warp to the gate at 30k, drop bomb, cloak. Then warp away. Anyone trying to nail you down will immediately stop in his tracks, and likely have put himself right in the area your bomb is about to explode in. It's a fun way to mess with experienced 'ceptor pilots.
