Warfare & Tactics

I see many people suggesting orbiting the beacon but that's not the best way. The best way is to hit approach on the beacon so you're sitting @ 0m/s and as close as possible to 0km on the beacon. Pre heat your ab/scram/web.

Now as soon as they land on the plex (usually a max of 3km away if you're @ 0), turn on your afterburner and hit approach before even thinking of locking them. You are able to approach ships even before they are lockable so you should always do this first, and the reason you don't want to orbit the beacon is because your ship might have to turn the complete opposite way in order to approach the target depending on where your ship is in relation to theirs, which makes you lose precious time to get close to them. By sitting at 0m/s you always have the same align time regardless of the direction and you are immediately going in a straight line toward them. Now spam lock and pray that you land your scram web, be sure not to turn off heat until you're sure you have them hard tackled.

Or if you're like me and living in Australia. Enjoy your super delay and never catch anything cause you're 2 seconds behind everyone else.
