ok.. the corp my awox miner infiltrated, that seemed way too nice to awox, are annoying as hell
Too nice.

so.
I have no roles, but have gained the trust of the CEO enough to have him AFK orca boost me, this seems like the only 'target'

alt has zero training in PVP ships.
I need advice on how to make a fast training/not fancy "Orca Killer"
i plan on swooping in with main in a Basi to RR the **** out of whatever ship my awox alt ends up in.

I also need advice on what happens if i get corp kicked mid kill on orca, does concord come pwn me?

I want this orca dead, and the loot to be mine if any.

so: easy train Orca killing ship fit needed, and will i be in concord **** if i get booted. also is Main in trouble for RRing from 75KM away?

Your best bet is to check out this guide for making a quick Code Enforcement ship:

http://www.minerbumping.com/2012/12/the-evolution-of-catalyst-pilot.html

When you are undocked you cannot be kicked from a corp as such you have all the time in the world (in that regard) to win the day.

You will not be CONCORDed and if your remote rep ship is in the same corp it won't be flagged either. But, since this is an Orca you probably don't need the remote reps. Plus, if the pilot is AFK you really don't have a lot to worry about in general but I would suggest that you scan his ship to find out his fitting or, better yet, have him post his fit for you in advance.

Finally, you should consider learning more about the New Order of Highsec and our constant struggle against bots and AFK miners.

thanks Agent. RR is not in corp. That a deal breaker?
How fast will an Orca go down to a Catalyst?

It will take awhile if he tanked his orca but usually they dont as the Orca has enough HP. I would recomend hiring a merc outfit to atleast get the orca down to 50% first then you can finish it off aslong as he doesnt come back to check on his ship. If he does make sure you have a scram or disruptor on it and no other corp members are nearby.

That is a matter of how the ship is tanked and how much DPS your catalyst has.

A starting catalyst (with about 3 hours? or so of training in it) can do just over 230 dps.

A fully trained up tech 2 catalyst can do over 600 dps.

An Orca can have over 250k EHP with a tank of over 130.

So, if you have a base level catalyst with ~230 dps and you're up against a well tanked orca you are looking at:

230 (incoming DPS) - 130 (tank) = 100 DPS.

250,000 / 100 = 2500 seconds = ~42 minutes.

You're looking at spending around 42 minutes killing a well tanked orca with a very basic catalyst.

With the tech 2 catalyst you're looking at around 8 minutes to kill the orca.

Chances are his orca doesn't have 250,000 EHP with a 130 tank which is why it is important to know what you are going up against.

Destroyer is probably best for a minimally-skilled pilot that wants to maximize dps.

You can't be kicked from the corp while logged-in and undocked, so don't worry about this.

Your remote support character may incur a Limited Engagement or Suspect flag - I'm not sure on the specifics in this case (and would like to know). I'd suggest adding remote sebo to help your awoxing character catch pods.

Untanked Orca has about 90k ehp.
Shield+Hull-tanked Orca has about 285k ehp.
So it will depend heavily on his fit. You might ask him for his fit, or ship scan him.

You will feel bad for like 5 minutes after the deed is done, but then realize you actually had fun. Don't worry, it's normal.

Yea I'm not good at this, but I suggest taking as much dps as possible regardless of cost. Just remember to fit TWO points and drones. With about 500 dps (do able in a pimped out battle cruiser), an untanked Orca (80,000 or so EHP) goes down in under 3 minutes.

I've personally witnessed an awox happen before my eyes. It took 10 minutes for the Orca to die and then several minutes for all the scrammed Hulks. I watched it because I was in a Hulk in fleet with the awoxed corp but not a member. That was one heck of an experience.

They couldn't do anything the whole 10 minutes it went on.

The out of corp reps will not incur any kind of flag under normal circumstances. There is a bug where the reps very occasionally gain a suspect flag, so be aware that it may happen, but in the vast majority of circumstances the reps cannot be legally shot.

I use destroyers, usually catalysts, but even a coercer will work. I recently did one with a 150dps thrasher with incredibly low skills. That was the safari that Wescro witnessed, in fact. It took about 6 minutes or so to kill the Orca. It would have taken nearly twice as long if the Orca had a damage control.

Regarding the dude who suggested you hire mercs to get the Orca down to 50%: not required in any way, shape, or form. Don't listen to him, he has no idea what he's talking about.

I would definitely get his fit. orca has a base 30k shields and 10k armor, so if he isn't tanked out a thrasher with emp will do better than a catalyst. it will be worth it to switch to fusion once his shields are done. if he doesn't have WCS you'll only need 1 scram. You'll definitely want a web in case he comes back during the middle. An orca can fit a lot of drones and you must kill them as quickly as possible. If you still have spare mids put a shield extender on to keep you alive between rep cycles in case he gets help or gets drones out. Get some 1% damage hardwirings too.

Probably the most important suggestion....

If you can wait a few more days, GET A FRIEND OR TRIAL CHARACTER into the corp.

I disagree. I don't think there's a need for that. If you've got reps, go hard. There's no need to be hesitant.

Peak regen is at 33% shields. My alt has a 260k ehp orca, but a lot of the EHP is in the damage control and bulkheads (ie hull), won't be pushing against peak regen for most of it. (bring 40 minutes of ammo though).

HAM Drake works just fine, if you want to invest the time into training that on your infiltration alt. Plenty of midslots for extra tackle gear to awox multiple targets at once. Shield resist bonus to improve your remoterep effectiveness (you could possibly use your utility high to capchain with your basi). Very poor lock-time for catching pods, but it won't matter if he's AFK.

I think if your corp is currently involved in a wardec, then out-of-corp reps will result in a Suspect flag?

Only if they're actually fighting the war targets. If there's a war but no pvp flag then no suspect flag is generated.

Another option is to open a level 4 mission with a dangerous first room in the system, ask for free fleet movement, and when the Orca owner is AFK, make yourself wing leader, and wing warp the Orca into the first room.

In fact, you can wing warp the entire mining fleet into the first room.

Have fun!
