Or those who do mining missions. That's 2 birds with one catalyst.

Catalyst = 212.5 tf with all level V skills

Sisters expanded probe launcher needs 210 tf.
Fortunately there are a lot of rocks in a mining mission you can throw at the mining bird :)

Quite an amusing thread.

High sec gankers dilemma:

Mining missions:
* Pros: "Phat lewz". Unless he uses a retriever or covetor and plain equipment ... hm
* Cons: Have to learn to fit an expanded probe launcher on my gank ship and how to use it ... hm

Security missions:
* As above. Plus, might not be allowed to bring my tornado into that level 1 deadspace. How unfair!
* Additional con: Shoots back and HURTS! Oh noes! Might have to tank my gank myself to get a second salvo off.
* Alternative con: If I take to long to probe the mission site, I might run into a retriever or covetor, see above.

Distribution mission:
*Pro: No need to probe them! YAY!!
*Con: Might be tanked and armed! Also, worthless loot!!!

Could you add in the pro's & cons of blowing someone up using 2-3 Tornado's in 1 shot when they undock?

Undock invulnerability timer

Insta-undock bookmarks

Some people have folders of these for each system they operate in.

You can lock and volly someone between their initiating warp and disappearing into warp after they undock at max velocity and are already aligned and if you try to bump them before they warp you pass right through them?

I kinda wish it had, playing cat and mouse with some gankers might make the mission grind more interesting.

Gankers have become boring, I guess when its their turn to "adapt or die" their idea is to what, hump mining barges?
