You can go hunting explorers in lowsec and nullsec but you need something cloaky. Astero will kill most explorers.


In this vein, pi alts are also popular in lowsec, especially in border systems. I like to throw a cloak on my ship and park off a popular poco when i'm not otherwise occupied and note the traffic. On a good week you can peg dumb PI alts repeatedly and moonwalk away with the goods. I had a sweet little Russian man swearing to the blood moon that he would **** my corpse last weekend after the third gank of his untanked badger alt.


This nearly made me spew tea all over my keyboard.

I have to say, few people have such a firm grasp on effective profanity as Russian EvE players.


As someone who's been looking for new things to do, I may have to try my hand at this whole losec POCO thing. A Stealth Bomber should do nicely methinks....

Most cost effective depends a bit on situation RE: suicide ganking

At a Ice field, AB, deadpsace pocket, or a mission where NPC rats are not a thing - the catalyst. You can get nearly 800 DPS out of it in a few months of maxing skills and getting some shiny implants.

At a station, gate, or in a mission where you have to take some DPS - the thrasher. Not as much DPS as the mighty catalyst but easy enough to tank those sentry guns or a few mission rats long enough to deal some damage.

Hope that helps. RE: fits - just use google. They are all over. A skilled player using a catalyst and the right implants can fly this:

I don't use the thrasher much, but you could start with something like this:

I see that cat at 598 not nearly 800. Seems like a stretch even with implants. Using booster too?
It also needs a cpu implant.

Still the Catalyst is the gank ship of choice for cost effective.

No pods, just ships. (and/or mobile platforms) I was hoping for a brief breakdown on the missions. Lets say level 2-3, so I can blitz it more effectively.

If I'm not mistaken, the missions themselves won't raise your sec status. Rather, it's the most dangerous rat you have killed in system during a bounty period. So your best bet to raise sec status is to roam through null sec, killing a single rat battleship in each system. You can do the same in low/high, but then you're looking a cruisers and frigs.

Its not per system anymore, its per 5 minutes. Leaves more time for pvp in between now.
