Hi, im living in lowsec, and I frequently explore in and around my home system. I often see an ishtar and a loki running complexes here too. I was wondering what ship/ship combo would be best to to gank them so the GFTO mah plexes ^^. guessing by the rats, i think they are either weak on emp (well guess not the loki, but the isthar would melt) or explosive.

any1 any ideas?

Basically you need enough stuff to pin both of them down, be able to survive their dps, be able to survive NPC dps and their dps combined, and be able to break their tanks without help of NPCs.


So probably something that neuts, something that reps and something that pins them down.

Since the naturally high resists of the ishtar on Kin/Therm and the Loki's Em/Therm, i'd probably bring something that will hopefully deal a lot of explosive damage - unless they're flying vs Angel, then therm will probably work best.

So you want a ship that spits out missiles or uses projectiles as dps, maybe drones.

Maybe a HAM Legion + a curse will do just fine. Neuts on Ishtar, TD on Loki, start pounding and have a falcon or oneiros as backup.
