Warfare & Tactics

Right, so I am flying into jita after a long hard day in eve to sell some loot and I happen to run across a red just hanging out sitting there in a pod next to the station and think to myself being afk in a pod even in high sec is idiotic. I go into the station relax a bit sell some thing buy some things, you know the usual. And when I come back out to head back about my business that red is still sitting there, in his pod, not moved and I find that he needs to suffer some sort of repercussion for his annoying me and that it is up to me to do something about it.

So I go back into station build myself a tech 2 fit blaster catalyst. some void ammo and a few wep upgrades and go out there and kill him. My sec status drops like a rock from 5.0 to -2 and I get a nice 100 mil pod kill on someone who was grating on my nerves. And after all that I remember thinking to myself that the only thing I regret was not the loss in sec status, not the loss of profit or fight or anything of that sort but the amount of isk I paid for a t2 fit cat which came to be roughly 12 million isk perhaps.

Now, by whatever bizzare coincidence the same red is sitting outside the station again in a pod again, and I am wanting to kill him again, but I dont really feel like throwing out 12 milllion isk and throwing it away for another pod kill. So I am wondering what the minimum setup (dps) is for insta poping a pod in highsec.

Assuming a player has max skills
x3 tech2 neutron blasters, void ammo
Incursus
tech 2 damage mods

could this insta pop a pod in 1.0 before being concorded?

with arties and 2 shots of faction ammo (pod only), gyro's in the lows

Edit: also to answer your question, its dangerous to use blasters, even t2, because of the low alpha and the time to getting jammed.

Thrasher.
7x meta0 280mm Artillery + RF depleted uranium S (1 shot per turret)

That's actually all you need.

For flavor, add an istab and a meta0 gyro, but not really needed.
(except maybe for slaved pods if you lack skills)

meta0 sensor boosters with scan resolution if you care about locking times.

Ranges around 15-18km, again depending on your skills.


If you wanna shoot pods out of shuttles, noobships, small frigates,
drop me an eve-mail and i'll give you a cheap thrasher fitting that works around gates/stations
with four sentry turrets to blast the pods out of their ships ... and then the pods themselves.

Enjoy. :)


PS: And ignore the "say goodbye to highsec" comment, because it's bullshit.

Red doesn't necessarily mean pirate, it can also be low standings (personal, corp, alliance).
