Crime & Punishment

its deeply deeply shameful though, but I get podded every so often in my ganking clone because i pulled a stupid so it happens, just usually when i'm afk

but everyone should be using the +5% med hybrid implant since its stupid cheap, and I have the 5% all damage and 5% large proj damage because i adore alphaing people and you gotta get that alpha as high as possible, they're my personal bling because i have literally more money than i know what to do with

the spurs are because faction police jam, and they protect against it - they're pretty cheap and any good ganker should get a pair

My main has a 4.0 security status ready to be utterly destroyed...

Edit: Oh, and Kamio ice belt. Nuff said.

It's currently flooded with icelandic beer

Yes. [OLOOK] stands ready to open the doors to all those that want somewhere to call home. Can accept up to about 1,300 members with race a non-issue. Thanks go to Lauren Hellfury of Full Pocket Aggro for setting that up for me.

Note to self: Must sort training queue out.

never said that, I said it's near-trivial to avoid getting podded in highsec

Kamio is 0.7, why you need cloak?

It's a competition. Short of the noobs trying to be baddies.. The real gankers are not going to help you. They will want the prizes..

That's really not in the spirit of things. Sure, there will be competition for the top prizes but that shouldn't prevent anyone else from having some fun.

The skills needed are really simple, Max wrote them up recently in a thread asking how to. IIRC the simple version is to train thermodynamics 1 (+pre-reqs) for overheating so you can fire more often. Then train the pre-reqs for the following:

Thrasher
7x 280mm artys (use 3 rounds of rep. fleet fusion)
2x sensor booster (scan res script)
1x tracking computer (tracking speed script)
2x gyros

You'll need either the PG4 implant or the CA-1 that you just got for free.


After that just work on some basic gunnery support skills and the destroyer skill. Whole lot should take around 10 days with +3s in and gives you the ability to take down Retrievers in 0.5-0.7 from as soon as you can fly it. Once you get the basic supports up a bit you'll be able to take them in 0.8s with ease and should even be able to take the pod as well in a 0.5.

Thanks guys. I was going for Thrashers but I can cross train for Catalysts too. I'm not in it for the prizes; I don't have that much time. Just enough time though, to wreck some havoc.

Krios, please do message me. I'm interested in joining fleets once this starts. I saw earlier that you have a channel (Alpha Flight) which I joined.

I just don't really log in these days as it's finals season. I'm always in the channel when I'm online. The concept is basically that I honestly have no idea about what I'm doing, so let's learn TOGETHER.

Once you have destroyers 4 or 5, it's only a matter of training gallente frigate to 3 (which takes about no time at all) before you can use the catalyst. Then, small blasters to 4 or 5, thermodynamics and hybrid rigging to at least 1, weapon upgrades to 4-5. Gunnery to 4 and surgical strike to 3-4. Having electronics and engineering fitting skills to 5 also helps and you should get these ASAP.

I get a measly 335 overheated dps with a meta 1/2 fit catalyst but the ship is worth 2 million isk. Now we just need some hard, statistically sound data on the concord response time as a function of system security status, and we can figure out how many catalysts we need to gank a ship. Even if we're two, 670 dps should be enough for most sub-hulk ships.
