I haven't tried yet, I had a bad experience in FW before when a friendly warped to me followed by 5 bad guys and he scrammed me. So I'm not only hesitant but I don't know how it works now. Do I still just check the map, jump into system and scan it down? How crowded are they?

Mechanics stayed the same but why nano? Sure it allows you to farm for lp but thats all. You wont get tags and you will have to run as soon as a 1 day old rifter pilot decides to bother you.
Nano cant do **** in plexes if interfered by as much as a fly.Lol

1) Guys like that will get booted from FW due to attacking an ally - their standings will drop.

2) It depends on the faction. Amarr cannot do it to major minnie plexes anywhere as easily as the minnies can to our major plexes...

I use a low sig, AB and active armor repair frig that does about 1000m/s and can solo all the plexes. Just need to kill the frigs and keep transversal up on the bigger ships. Dual repped incursus can do minny majors pretty easily.

What rats are you having to tank? Gallente???

Bit different to target painting Minmitar ones that shoot guns AND missiles at you...

If you get hit by the guns you lost transversal. If you are going too slow the missiles are going to murder you. Hint, move really fast in a wide orbit, manually preferred to keep transversal up, and rep the missile damage. KIll the frigs and you should be set.

Second edit, CCP finally stopped allowing S Hits, o well.

But wouldn't that require me to fit guns, be able to shield or armor rep and be at my computer? That sucks What?

I also heard the Mimnatar LP store pays better, so why would I do that?

nice necro + responses!

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

i find it better to tank and kill them in a frigate.
The tag loot are nice isk and also you can fight if an enemy appears.
