Crime & Punishment

Do the numbers first. EM is usually the least tanked resist on a Mackinaw, but you should get a passive scan done first. If you go EM smartbombs, use tech 2 ones or meta 4, and fit at least one EM tanking module on your ships.

Make sure you hit a 0.5 system, I'll PM you four that are worth a look (one is on a highsec island but still manages to get bot fleets; I'm sure you can handle trekking through lowsec to get there).

CONCORD will not deactivate your smartbombs, but they will neut you heavily. Even with two or three cap boosters cycling, you will have cap issues before they pop you.

Also, do not do this in expensive pods. It is possible that you might have some of your fleet lose their ships earlier than others, and you don't want those pilots losing high grade pirate sets by accident.

After your gankfest, I believe lowsec L5s are the fastest way to recover security status, with L4s not far behind, or you can spend potentially a lot of ISKies on tags.

Rokhs are like trophy wives - nice to look at but unable to do anything useful.

excellent info all around. we were already planning on fitting some em resists and two heavy boosters, so it looks like we had the right idea there. as for pods, well, we're all using blank ones, for obvious reasons =)



how else does someone learn? we know basic concord mechanics because we've done freighter ganking before, but you rarely fit smartbombs on a talos =) we know the basics of how to fit it, but not a few specifics that wouldn't be known unless someone's done it before. we weren't online right at that moment, but botters run most days all day, so an area is sufficient.

*shrug* i know C&P is mostly shitpoasters, but i figured adding content is a way to get constructive responses. looks like some kids had school off today =)

actually, you'll note i specifically didn't ask for isk for tags until we'd blown stuff up. not like i need the isk, just mentioned it'd be appreciated, since that's been offered in past gank threads i've seen. interesting that you locked on that out of everything. as it is i'll probably only use the tags to get to -5 and then i'll rat my way out of that. won't take too long with the sov we've got =) i think that will cost less than the bombs on the rokh. i think that bittervet is just bitter that other players are finding fun wherever they may instead of forum-warrioring in station.

well, sure, but why not kill botters while you're at it?

jesus, what an *******.

i posted that post at 2am last night/this morning, with an intention of doing this when my buddy got off of work tonight. figured i'd "think this through" and get some answers ahead of time. didn't realize that i'd be offending a pretentious jackwagon like yourself.

Gaddamn, well said sir.

Gotta love how some people gotta rain down BS on what was obviously a question with answers like "OMFG YOU NOOB QUIT EVE TRADE IN YOUR SHIPZ"

While I commend your desire to mess with miners, I'm going to be a bit pretentious here:

You are not pipebombing. Pipebombing is done in Low/Null wherein a "pipe" (well-travelled arterial route, usually a Hi-Low-Null link) is bubbled and you smartbomb the bejesus out of anything that gets caught (preferably pre-meditated murder on a fleet using a cyno). As popularised by Rooks and Kings

You want to smartbomb some miners.

Sometimes it is fun to fit disco BS and watch them go boom, what is your problem with that whitehound?

You do realize how insulting this is to those of us whom frequent C&P regularly right? First asking for isk when your Alliance has more than enough to pay for the mere 200 mil to go from -10 to 0.0 per pilot and also the principal. Some of us look on having positive sec status as a weakness.

Also suiciding Rokhs into miners is stupidity at it's finest. You are far better off selling the ships and purchasing a **** load of meta 4 catalysts. You could do far more damage and seeing as about 100 mil can get you roughly 85-90 fully fit catalysts thats a hell of alot of dead miners.

Or just give me the Rokhs. With a HG Crystal set/strong blue pill and dual xl asb's I'll turn it into a death mobile. The Rokh is a wonderful ship if used properly.
