Let's say you are sitting in the middle of an asteroid belt in a .5 system in Caldari space and 4 Guirista NPC pirates show up. My challenge to you is, what ship/fitting/technique would be the absolute fastest way to destroy said pirates?

Thank you for your replies!

depending on range....a sebo fit talos/naga with rails, 425s with antimatter, one shot each

also a beam oracle and arty tornado are acceptable

Be a bit more specific, what type of ships are the NPCs.

It's a 0.5, they're frigates

Maelstrom or Tornado, 1400mm Artillery II grouped 4x2 , phased plasma, 30 km distance to belt. Oh, and sensor booster for quicker lock on target.

You are welcome.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

i would use a hulk, with MLUs, no buffer, and no booster, the wrong hardeners (or empty mids), and some hob 1s. clearly the best way.

i make spreadsheets for pretty cheap. contact me for more info.

Do they have enough EHP to survive 8 (officer?) smartbombs? If not, and if I can choose range, then I'm in a smartbombing Rokh and they're right on top of me.

I'd show up in my capsule and give them an ackward stare until they flee in shame.

280mm thrasher.

Your question is way too vague to get answered properly.

You realize these are hisec belt rats right? It's probably best to bring another fleet, just in case.

Dual web hookbill sitting at 0 should dispatch them pretty quick. snipers tend to miss a lot, missles never do.

It's a trick question. It's like asking "What would be the best ship to bring against God." In other words, if 4 NPC's show up in .5 space, the only reasonable answer is GTFO!!!

The answer to that, of course, is still Alpha Fleet.
