Crime & Punishment

You should have enough time to vaporize most mining barges and badly tanked exhumers before the faction police blow you up. I would just use a brutix instead so you can get those properly tanked hulks too. Some very well tanked hulks you might not get but the vast majority you will, unlike with a catalyst in which many hulks will survive a catalyst suicide.

Because miners are stupid.

awesome thanks! and thanks to psychotic monk for the monetary support

over the past couple days this has become my new favorite pastime... i didn't want to have to give it up because of security issues

That's what corp book-marks are for. In order to maximize the surprise I would tend to want to warp through the belts first in a cov-ops and BM the roids that were being mined. Miners will be within 5k of whatever they're mining and they don't move around much so warping to the BM will land you right on top of them most of the time.

In any event, this is how I get my warpin's in null-sec even before the miners start mining. I'll sweep through the area where I want to work and scan down the grav sites and BM the top-end roids and then when I come back through later and see a mining ship on scan I warp to the roid. I've gotten some good kills that way.

So... a question of my own for the experienced suicide gankers. Assuming I wanted to get involved in hulkageddon with an alt that can only fly Minmatar ships, which ship would you recommend using?

Quoted for Truth.

If the target miner is a bot by any chance, then more than likely they will ignore the Orca as Industrial Command Ships are usually not perceived as a threat to them. Of course, as soon as they see a Catalyst or a Brutix on the overview they will start running.

One good trick you can use early on, while you still have a good sec status, is sneak in with a mining barge while your Orca trails you. Don't forget to fit a ship scanner on either the Orca or the barge so that you can check their tank.

***IMPORTANT: Please remember to use the passive targeter first before locking***

Once you found your target and get in close enough, swap to your bringer of doom and start yarring to your heart's content.

... and those are the white knight trolls you have to deal with round here




It would require basic skilling for a mining barge but would well be worth the laugh

You don't have to load anything.
You can have the guns pre-loaded/grouped in the Orca if you wish. (and it would be a good idea in this situation.)

Just warp the pod in, board, lock and kill the target. It works until the resident miners figure out that the Orca is not friendly.

Also, hybrid weapons only take 5 seconds to load...its projectiles that take 10 seconds.

That KM was from last night has the fit I've been using. Some dude in a drake got himself and 2 other hulks concorded by shooting me before I actually attacked the third hulk. Looked like it was a remote repair drone mistake on their part

Unfortunately I didn't get the orca and concord got me before I got on the other KMs, but the salvage was nice



I know it's going to be hard once my sec gets below a certain point... but I seriously can't stop doing it. It's addicting! Not to mention the hate mails and threats are fueling me..

I've even started using a scamming alt to fund my efforts... it's like after 4 years in EvE as a carebear, I've decided to break bad and now I can't stop! All I can think about is how to take it to the next level of viciousness



Ya.. I don't have any mining skills, but i like the idea! I could show up in a rokh or osprey probably. Actually, using an osprey to suicide gank could be fun..



Yea so far I haven't had to do this. I keep about 240 units of Void S loaded in the blasters. I usually heat up, then warp in... one thing I keep forgetting to do is use my blasters first instead of the point and I keep forgetting to bring my drone out



Also, I'm thinking about switching to thrashers. Some EFT warrior'ing using the "buffer" setting in the DPS graph has lead me to believe that I can probably get almost as much damage from a coercer or a thrasher. The thrasher is much cheaper though. I think the catalyst still wins by 10dps from the drone.

Oh it was 240 units total, I only have 30 units per gun, but ya I should probably cut it back a little still.

Just remind me how does orca poop combat ships once again?

I.
