That's only the catalyst, no chance that cormorant with EM missiles to take advantage of the low em resists would work better?

2 Catalysts will do max damage. Fit something like this:

8x light neutron blaster I
2x Sebos
2x MFS, 1 TE

Fit CN antimatter, like 5 rounds per gun. No sense in wasting ammo. Put in a hobgob if you like, but I find trying to deploy drones is kinda a waste. The TE gives you a little better range in case you dont land perfectly at 0.

Hi again :D yeah possibly, first I need to get me a few well trained gank catalyst pilots set up, training some now but if i can buy from the character sale forum I will.

With 4 catalysts we could even take super tanked hulks with T1 blasters, or 3 catalysts with T2

Thank god for risk adversion pilots amirite ? Cool

Couple of cheap destroyers fit for 5 million or less

To destroy a single ship worth a couple of hundred million in under 15 seconds.

Yeah, risk adversion by any other means be it flying in highsec is risk adversion. BTW, CONCORD is watching your back until you strike. No different then the guy in the barge, since CONCORD is unbiasedly watching both of you to knock down one of the parties should they become aggressive. Good thing those hulks and macks are poorly designed by intent, wouldn't want to see people even try and lose a lot of isk of their own but they still call themselves badass hardcore pilot since a barge sitting in an asteriod field blows up just as easily as a level 4 battleship flown by an NPC Roll.

A single catalyst will be sufficient to gank any but the most buffer tanked mackinaws in lower security high sec.
