i am a noob. i want to camp gates and gank industrials when i get bored. can someone please advise me to which ships to look at and modules i should use? i am looking at destroyers to start with? also passive targeter? would this be a handy tool for scanning hulks and macks to find targets? im lost in all the details. please give me some direction thanks.

i would ask crime&punishment or warfare&tactics.

In hi-sec you will be concorded. Cheap fits with DPS fits is what you want. Most ships never get the second shot off, so you want Alpha strike setups. Massive 1 shot damage. I think Thrashers are used a lot... I have never used a small ship for suicide ganks.

In lo-sec you won't scan ships. Just kill them all. You will need a BC hull to tank gate guns, but Concord will not be there.

Pretty much this.

Arty Thrasher with pure gank fit often have the Alpha to 2-shot hulks and the like. The proper fit will not be cheap all things considered, but the profit could be spectacular. In any event, you're looking for targets that can be 1-shot, or 2 at the most. You will rarely (if ever) get that third salvo off before CONCORDoken.

In low-sec, you have more flexibility because your only real concern is gate guns. BC hulls will give you the beef to tank them for a while, but the right BC is key. Drakes can take the punishment, but don't bring much punch to the table. The A/C 'Cane is probably your best bet. Sick DPS output with a respectable tank. You'll burn through indy's fast.
