Ok, long story short.. i want to go go liberate some pods who are locked down
in mac's and stuff.. hell, maybe even salvage some of them.

But, as terrible i am .. and used to flying caldari ships..
And, as ive been told those are terrible for one-shot ganks ( true? ) , was looking at
blaster brutix or something like that..

The question :p ->

Blaster brutix, just stack the high's with... blasters.. and as much damage mods i can put on it ?
And, is that enough to kill a mac / hulk ?

And as final goodbye to highsec for a while again ,
If i use a raven or domi, filled with smarty's , do i need cap-boosters to get off a 2e / 3e cycle ?


Ow, yes.. i did try to look for the answer myself, but search turns up a damn lot of brutix, a bit to
much to go trough

*peace*

So do you want to Gank?

Do you want to PVP?

Are you going to go after missioners?

It's hard to tell what you want to do.

i am.. true terrible..

Brutix vs Mac ... Mac wins ! ;p

don't know what i've done wrong tho:

Passive targeter [x]
Optimal range [x]
Overheat [x]


Before i could get a 2e salvo off, got jammed by the cops / neuted to death..

Any sugestions ?


This is my own KM, so i assume its ok by the forum mods

Regular ammos, meta0 guns, meta0 magstabs. And I think your gunnery skills are weak. P
And why a cargo scanner ? You want a ship scanner.

or tempest 1400's with gyros in the low.,The meta 1 and 2 1400's are the cheapest

tempest is the best but a more expensive option

You probably need all relevant gunnery skills at lv5 what ever option you choose, like surgical strike,sharpshooter

Start with untanked macks and hulks to get into it. you can passively target them and then use a ship scanner to check the set up.

those are my secrets, might not all that right ;)

for every gank there is a tool...

rifters can kill procurers (very rare ship)
thrashers can kill retrievers
thorax'es can kill mackinaws
brutix'es can kill hulks

i dont have quiet the best skillpoints for any of that yet, but its possible, did it with another toon...

biggest guns possible
dont use more than 4 damage mods
tracking enhancers maybe
faction ammo
in 0.5-0.6 use drones too
check with a ship scanner how it is tanked...
for macks and hulks, especially in belts, you dont need a scrambler, they accelerate too slowly... maybe a web...
in a belt i never needed a passive targeter either, they arnt all the time at the computer i think...
aah, almost forgot: DONT gank miners near a orca... they can instantly store them inside (i hope i am right there, have no personal proof)

for higher ganks you should try the apocalypse or the tempest...
why apocalypse you might ask?
its the only ship in its price class with 8 turrets... use artillery, DONT use lasers... were ever you are, 0.5 or 1.0, you will only be able to shoot once... BUT a max skilled apoc with t2 artilleries is doing 12k damage in just one volley...

the tempest is only having 6 turret slots, but you gain a damage and rate of fire bonus, so you can MAYBE shoot twice in 0.5 systems...

use the Eve Fitting Tool, you even can use it to create your targets, create damage profiles of your ammo, check how much damage you do with the DPS graph...

happy gank

True, i have terrible gunnery skills
<-- caldari missile slinger, gunnery at 5, suports at 2 or 3 for now

I had the cargo scanner if i found a hauler first ( but the brutix proved to slow in that fit
to get in optimal on a gate ) so i went to a ice-field after.

Will have a look at a tempest, don't care so much for cost/profit, i just want to
kill some stuff & fast easy while losing the sec status.
Will need to train some skill for that tho, so be it. ( can't fly tempest )

( going for pods is a bit to fast ;p ) but i might go for that anyway with some rocket boat

The ship scanner i had also, maybe ( proberly ) made the mistake of going for a mac with
2x EM-resist fitted.. bha, should have known better :) :) :)
Was maybe a bit to trigger-happy to find a better target

Technical speaking , could i just pull the same with a HAM drake ??
( im all 5'se in missile's )

EDIT , thanks for the tips, after work ill have another go at losing sec status.
Been playing this game for 2 years now, never ventured into this..
In so.. i will not stop until im flashy/bored Big smile

i wouldnt use missiles for it... blasters are the best for close range, artilleries are the best for long range... the only exception would be a torpedo-raven, but the target would need to be at battlecruiser to battleship size... mining barges have too small signatures...

EDIT:

be 10km off the gate, direction to another gate... autopilot industrials are your prey...

Just find another caldari person and go do stuff in recons.... 2 of you can neutralize 2-4 of them...

Do it the caldari way... irritate the **** out of them. Bear

You want to go flashy fast? Sit just off a busy gate with a rack of smartbombs repeatedly and catch all the people autopiloting.

Smarty attack will be my final goodby from highsec :p
Ive been sadomised by that before, time to pass on the message of love :)

The carebear is strong with me, figurs.. Take brutix... Explode ship.. Harvest hatemail..

And all i get is a pissed off concord and would be victem pissing his pants of laughter.

Brutix vs Retriever... Brutix wins! ;p *finaly*

Do got the feeling i could have done it with a destroyer, a hell.. overpowered for the win.
( and maybe the gateguns would have popped my dessy before concord came in for punishment )

I did got some rage tho .. a well.. if it counts for that...

Here's my recommendation:

it takes killing just 6 pods in jita to go to -10.

1. buy 6 thrashers, 42 meta-2/3 250mm arties, 12 gyrostab 1s, 12 sensor boosters and scan resolution scripts, 42 rounds fleet emp S (always remember to group guns)
2) with a friend or on a second account in fleet, check perimeter gate in a shuttle or other unthreatening ship. put the shuttle about 4k-5k away from a afk pod, there always seem to be 2 or 3 of them there.
3) undock in thrasher, warp to alt at 0km, activate guns and sensor boosters on the fly, click the target pod as soon as your warp stops. hit enter as fast as possible when the warning comes up.
4) enjoy the sec status drop
5) warp out before others target you and pop your pod :)

couple other tips from the times I've done it with alts:
1) bottom station in jita has a cloning facility and never any camps on the undock, easier to get the flasy red thrasher out of there without being popped on the undock, and if you do get podded by some anti-pirate wanker, you're right back at a cloning station with all your ganking stuff
2) regardless where you go, make an instant-undock-safe just in case.
3) buy in station 4-4, courier contract your gank-ships to the station of your choice. It adds humor that some of the bears that do those courier contracts may be the ones you pop on the gate later on :)
4) have eveboard.com up in a browser window. when you need to make a choice between 2 pod targets, ALWAYS pick the one that has higher value implants... it's just the right thing to do.

exelent :) ( will procede )

Got one at a gate today with a dessy, did they remove the skwoesh sound?
( had max sound on, but next to the local navy chewing down on my ship / making the warnings go... no
- skwoesh - )

Little update on the ship side,
had several fails today ( but fun ) , brutix vs mac is just no-go due lack of gunnery skills ,
even in perfect range, sitting still, with faction ammo...

Neaaarly had a retriever, but he jumped the gate before i nailed him, i lack that entire on myself..
Just took to much time getting the range "perfect"

A well, the retriever had a good day tho.

Also attemted to km-whore on a "college" ganker with a Tempest, but even with me shooting the guy
before concord delt with him , didn't get the mail. ( guess i was to far off )
EDIT: just noticed on battleclinic, the km-whore was indeed a sucses after all :)

Injecting minny battleship + large projectile tomorrow , should be just in time before my run to 0.0 again

But with a good few beers, including me failing terrible , didn't have as much fun in eve for a while :) :) :)

What are you doing wasting a perfectly good Brutix on a Retriever? A Catalyst can take out retrievers, no need for a Brutix.

As for only getting two shots off in 0.6, sounds like you got killed by a pre-set CONCORD trap. You can prime CONCORD in your belt / location with a throwaway alt. Use the alt to shoot your ship, CONCORD comes to blow up said ship, CONCORD hangs around and the delay for their response is nullified in that area while they are there. They will respond nearly instantly.

Make sure CONCORD is on your overview and check for them before engaging. If someone is doing this, you can do it to them with your own throwaway alt. Prime CONCORD somewhere else within that system, it will remove CONCORD from their area.

Update, relocated to 0.0 for more kills, but before flying in:

Indeed, that was my bad also, picket targets at gates, not in belts.
And.. Yes, did not have concord on overview *oeps*

Live & learn

Must say, a most amusing moment was a convo of a collega(?) ganker who basicly told me that they would stop until i left.
Maybe the sebo gave my *cunning* km-whore plans away.

Btw, am i the only one with a borked hidden targeter?
Ive activated the module -> but somehow, as soon i get a lock it shuts down.. And the pray runs. *odd*
Yes, autorepeat is active. Testing with a alt proved,you still see me targeting you.

Regarding the passive targeter, pretty sure you activate the mod then click overview, dont use ctrl click or the target button on the overview, or you can activate the mod and click in space.

And again, the fail proved strong in me, that was proberly the step i was doing wrong :)
