An extension of the joining corps to screw with people and make them cry thing is robbing peoples wormholes. Again it doesn't require much in the way of skills (robbing a wormhole basically only requires basic scanning skills and an industrial ship) and can net you a huge quantity of money, people also get very upset about it.


I'm curious, what are you robbing that can just be taken?

Join random miner corp & tell them you're a miner. Most of them don't do any sort of API check.

I've done this a lot with a friend, and have been able to join mining corps, just hand-waving our kill-boards having 2 Orcas and 10+ hulks on the first page, all corp-on-corp kills.
I explained to one CEO that I was "still training mining, can I help in any other way?" and he invited me to come shoot highsec rats for him as a "security detail" in my Vindicator.
It went as predicted.

Highsec mining corps are the worst kind of retards and it's more fun to kill them in hilariously obvious ways, than it is to try to be smart about it; both work equally well. For instance, one character we use has a corp history so long it will take upto a minute to load. In possibly the best example of this, we AWOXed a guy who was livestreaming and watched as he literally gave up trying to get it to load ("I think it's empty, I am his first corp") and accepted the character all the same.

What I'm saying, is ganking a random miner is easy, getting creative and being hilariously bad at it is much, much more fun.

He means you'll only need those skills, but you will of course need to gain access to corp hangars and SMAs. I left my last corp with about 15bil in my back pocket Twisted

Joining mining corps & killing a whole bunch of their miners during one of their mining ops extracts a good amount of tears.


One more question, what would be good ship to do this in?


Smartbombing battleship, such as an Abaddon or Rohk.

Disco Battleship <3

Bad idea. There's way too much neutral spam in asteroid belts to do this; you'll be concorded.

The answer is any ship you can fit both a tank to, and 2+ points and still keep a MWD and decent DPS. Option 2 is to have a second person pretend to be your alt character (HEY GUISE MY ALT CAN COME TOO YA?) and fit a ship with loadsa points to assist. Yes, my Scorpion has 7 points on it. I am comfortable with this.
