Crime & Punishment

Yes, mission flipping still works.
You can try it with a missile boat, but most don't deliver the dps necessary to crack many tanks... those that do generally aren't soft and cute and cuddly looking enough for intended victims to take the bait.
The reason hybrids are popular is that they work. Some folks have had some success with projectiles as well.
You might have some luck with the amarr rocket assault frigate. Let me know how it works, as I'm a bit curious myself.

Most important is to find a ship that you enjoy flying that is capable of both breaking the target's tank and has the staying power to see things through to the end.
Everyone who engages in these activities has their own personal preferences, but I personally have much love for the Ishkur for this. It's beefy tank, low sig radius, and dual weapons platforms give it a great deal of versatility on the fly and a fairly wide engagement profile. It is on the other hand, quite slow (for an assault frigate) and vulnerable to ships that can track it well enough to apply their full damage.

Okay!

Whoa whoa whoa there!!!

If you get out of HS folks tend to be pvp fit and are equipped for and skilled at fighting back. What possible fun could come out of that?

Do you even pvp or are you just tossing out random thoughts??

I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.

Not that I have any problem with highsec action. I've been known to indulge in the occasional mission runner baiting. Shooting their MTUs can get a response.

If you want to use a hi-dps boat hybrids aren't necessary........rockets are almost as good as blasters in this respect and have zero tracking issues (which makes them ideal drone killers....).

I've had good results with t2-fit Kestrels and Condors, and the Vengeance (Amarr assault frig) is a armor tanky beast of Rocket Doom.

And do not forget the Talwar, which was designed to be a fast rocket boat. One of the few dessies that can actually speed tank......

Why not create your own corp and recruit carebears then steal and explode the pants of em? Its called " reverse safari" . Granted some might question as to why your so called legitimate healthy and prospective corporation will have friendly fire legal, but then you can always answer with the folowing :

1 . We are old fashion and still practice the pod express to travel
2 . We like to shoot each other as celebration after every op success
3. Weekly pvp tournaments

Etc.

Be creative , good luck

Oh p.s. : Always offer to move they're ships to your staging area via contract " item exchange" . You have no ideea how many are clueless.

Even though duping the unprepared is my primary activity online, I have to agree with this. Playing around in low or null every once in a while helps spice things up. Plus you get to hang with scary people and share the joy of being bad at eve together, or at each other, or just uncomfortably close to each other.

Wow, I walked that exact path.

I'm a shield/missile griefer from way back and I've long been a fan of the 3 person corp.

The art of the game, IMO was always to fly crappy enough aircraft to where everyone wanted to fight you. Battle badgers, Griffins, and the like were a staple of my existence for a long time.

There are skilled people everywhere, but not that many. If you know your mechanics you'll probably find low more challenging than null(I found the skill level in low to be much higher than null)... But if you like interaction more than fighting then highsec is the only place to be.

I think regardless of where you go, there aren't that many really good players. Look carefully to learn from good ones in null and low. Don't let "doctrine" prevent learning.

Look me up in game if you need a home or some help getting going.

If you are going to check my stats, check battleclinic. It's the only place that has my Api.
