so i want to make a suicide ganker alt, can this be done solo with the destroyer buff or do i need to go bigger?
i have 2 accounts one to pop the miners second to scoop the loot

ship loadout + skill plan would be nice

You can start with a Thrasher or Catalyst. With the destroyer buff and Hybrid buff, you can kill off a Hulk solo. But you will have to target the Hulk that's fitted with mods that weaken its EHP (cargohold optimizers and cargo expanders). This means scanning the target's fitting before ganking (I suggest using passive targeters for this). Otherwise, you run the risk of ganking a well-tanked Hulk and then end up dying to Concord.

always scan before you gank, otherwise you'll flub

Go with blaster ships: With the destroyer buff you can easily get 500+dps from a catalyst, the thorax is maybe 600dps and the brutix is north of 1000.

However, are you talking about ganking miners in belts or ships on stations/gates.

Belts are a lot easier because there are no sentry guns, a destroyer won't survive long enough on gates to deliver its full quota of 'totalhelldeath' so you need to upgrade to a thorax.

Now be honest Andski, in many cases, even scanning doesn't prevent epic fail....Cool

You can get 700 out of a T2 fit catalyst, 900 out of a T2 fit thorax (plus a minor implant), 1200 out of a T2 fit brutix... Surprising what you can do, actually.

First mistake.Thinking miners drop loot.
Second mistake.Training a loot grabbing alt for miners that drop loot.
