Generally you need 1x SKV.

Rag MkIII, swarms/Gemini launchers, fast charge cell <- this is your workhorse.
You may also need some light support ships to run interference; whatever you are comfortable with in a furball. The Corvus Hound is a nice interceptor, but a glass target in a dogfight. I prefer the CorVult, for its superior maneuvering speed.

Overall, the ratio should be about 3 or 4 bombers for every fighter/support (although this can change depending on what the defenders are doing). Get ready to shift gears when the last turret goes down. Communication is key.

If you don't belong to any guilds hostile to SKV or if you're alone, simply contact SKV for keys. They are rather nice, kind fellows.

He didn't ask how to get keys.

Like Phaserlighht said, a Ragnarok with all missile launchers is your best bet for dealing maximum damage per bombing run. If you find yourself against players defending the station, lighter ships sometimes work better. The Orion Hornet with 4x Gemini launchers does a good job and can move faster than a heavy rag. You have to live long enough for your weapons to hit their mark.
