So what do Suicide Gankers need?

Being a kind hearted soul who wants to see nothing but the looked down on sucide ganker getting ahead, and incidentally taking out my more foolish competition, I have a few questions. (yes, this is a forum alt.)

What do you need, ship and weapon wise?

  • Thrasher?
  • M0 280 Arty? or T2?
  • t1 gyros, or t2?
  • Cheap damage rigs?

That kind of thing. While I'm probably sticking to destroyers for now, later would come BCs and maybe BBs. All depends on money.

What stations would be useful to have stocked up for you?

Would you use contracts to buy pre-setup ships? Just jump in and go?

I'd get onto making Brutix and so on, but the starting capital for that is a couple of weeks away right now. Big smile

You need skills, dedication and passion for the kill. Bitches don't know that suiciding takes loads of patience and depending on how you do it-sometimes lots of skill.

What are you planning on ganking? I have been ganking pods as part of my election promise:

If you are going to be hitting anything besides Pods, shuttle and rookie ships a lone thrasher will not suffice. Sometimes you can pop some of the frigs with a nicely T2 fit Thrasher, but in general not.

Are you going to be popping miners or ships with cargo? Afk pods in Jita like a BOSS? Update your post a bit, and I can taylor my response to better suit you.

Or you can mail/convo me directly in game, I always answer every mail sent, and if I can help-or you have more questions don't hesitate to get me in game-many times I am afk but in the end I will always get back to ya-D3

Hmmm

Heh. I wasn't planning on ganking anything myself (yet, at least)

Just turning a small profit supporting people who gank. Tears by proxy?

Fitting out stations with fittings so people don't need to trawl over into Jita to get stuff, then bring it back out again, for people that gank in the pipes.

I typically see either a Geddon or Apoc fitted with arty and loads of sebos for solo gate gankers. Thrashers are fairly common as well, but more en masse than the others.

Rigs are a no. Too much loss for too little gain. When you've got the lows filled with 3-4x damage mods you get 1-2 dps for each rig. BSes can get by with meta 3 guns, but thrashers will require tech 2 just to be sure. They aren't all that expensive either, I think 400k-800k per? As for gyros, I use tech 2 when I need to be sure the job is done, tech 1 when I have backup.

Note: I'm definitely no pro like D3, but these are my observations.

I'm fond of small teams of autocannon (t2 of course) fitted ruptures that cheaply sebo'd and with some cheap dmg mods work quite well for dispatching mining barges and some exhumers. Sadly this setup is hard to come by outside of jita or minmatar space. 2 ruptures can down a mackinaw within 4 seconds if they fitted right.
5 can probalby down a Hulk rather easily as well, (not sure on this, willing to try it tho)
Also blaster thorax's work good as well.

Dear Scrag, learn to read. I see a lack of other posts about how an Indy might support suicide gankers. Teeny tiny difference there.

Sure, I'd be glad to. I just need a 500 million security deposit Blink On a more serious note, I'll check out BPC costs, run the numbers and find a nearby station that works for production.

Magnetic Field Stabilizers? Guns?

We need tears. How you get them is question of ISK to tear extraction ratio.

I like an audience present when I do it, provided they're not all macros it's funny watching them trip over the rocks in a mad scramble to not be next Lol

Any station/region in particular you'd like stocked? Using locator agents to find my customers is a little extreme.

Mag stabilizers are good. Anode Neutrons and Heavy Neutron IIs. Void ammo and Caldari EMP.
