A few comments-
Iteron 5s take Gallente Indy5, which I don't want to spend the time training yet. It's a decent tank for a hauler. I armor tanked it: T2 small rep, 2x EANM, around 1K armor. Not so bad for a hauler.
Update: Just had my 2nd Badger shot out from underneath me by a Megathron after swiping over 5m in ore. And understand that I'm stealing stuff like Veldspar and Scordite, not Zydrine lol. 5m in ore is a LOT of ore. So ya, the Mega stuffed me. Still don't know how that worked out as he was in FNA (Fed. Naval Academy), and I don't recall stealing any of that particular players ore. Oh well, I need to examine the ROE more closely.
Because I said so...

When you get your ship blown up around you, is there not a 30 second timer before you can get in another ship?
Getting podded and giving away a free Inty wouldnt exactly be the best thing you'd want to record yourself doing.
i think there is a timer, coz last night, a friend and I blew up a hauler that ejected an MOA, the pilot hung around it for a few seconds before leaving, which left us with a badly damaged (my friend shot at it a bit before realizing it was from the hauler lol)brand new MOA

You can't fit assembled ships in a hauler, so when it pops out, it't not assembled, so you can't get in it.
Update: I'm now pre-positioning a Battleship to deal with the dirty miner's Battleships. Plan: let them aggro me, even blow me up, then re-attack with my BS, *if* they don't hide in the station for 15 minutes. Bastards.

At the very least, if you put a ship into cargo and are blown up, (or even possibly jettison?) you can then get into the ship that comes out. My wife had it done to a cheetah she was hauling when she got gate ganked a year ago. (may or may not still work that way)
What was making you special was Pirating in a badger, agroing in a badger and comming back in a BS is nothing new. Just go to Rens and try jetcan mining sometime. (I know you wouldn't, its just an expression) :)

I'm sticking to using the Badger if at all possible. The BS is only as a last resort when I'm blobbed by 10 carebears in their BSs. I can't pass up the chance to drop a few BS. That being said, I just blew apart a Catalyst just now, as a group of miners got a little uppity and decided to come back in a 'combat ship'. LOL. I keep forgetting to Fraps it though. One of these days I'll remember to record the sad saga of miners hurling themselves onto my sword.
On another note: "Combat Crane" anyone? I'm sure I could fit a T2 heavy launcher on it, along with all the other needed stuff.
Because I said so...

The aformentioned Catalyst encounter: there I was, in the wild and wooly expanses of a 1.0 security system! It was scary I tell you! Concord everywhere! I had to remove my autotarget back and ensure that I didn't have any modules primed and ready to fire for fear that I'd be next on Concords 'to do' list.
As I went from belt to belt skipping along amongst the asteroids, I noticed that entire sections of the belts, nay, ENTIRE BELTS (!!!) had been vaporized at the hands of these dreadful and vicious creatures known as Miners! It makes me shudder in my pod just thinking of the horror and destruction wrought upon those poor unsuspecting rocks.
So there I am, playfully skipping along from can to glorious can, stealing all the Condensed Scordite and Dense Veldspar I can get my hands on when.. HELLO? What's this? A huge herd of dirty rockbiters abusing a poor defenseless hunk of Veldspar. Their little mining drones swarming about the hapless ore like pirana on a leg of lamb. Veldspar, I will avenge thee!
So I quickly bookmark the can and warp back in, landing 15km off my target. I gracefully swoop down upon the heinous collection of Veldspar remains in the can as the dirty miners scrambled to say my hand at rescuing the masticated rock parts from certian doom, destined to end up part of some indignity like a hauler, or worse, a mining barge! Oh the irony!
Quickly I launch my own can, and empty the contents of the enemy can and prepare to have combat drones heaped upon my beautiful Badger. As I pile as much raw ore as I can into my hold, keeping it safe from the clutches of those who would turn it into shuttles, I race back to the safe harbor of the station and sequester the ore for safe keeping. Alas, my job has just begun! Again and again I return into the jaws of death, braving Iteron 5s and horrible scary looking Covetors and Retrievers to rescue the pitiful remains of what were once great masses of solid rock.
At last as I empty the final bit of that sacred dirt (dirt, er, I mean "glorious earth") into my cargo hold, a lone Catalyst appears. As I'm bringing my hallowed ship of mercy about to return to the station, the Catalyst locks me, and begins to fire! "Avast! We've been engaged!" I yell to the crew. My gunnery officer begins to lock the enemy ship with our targeting computers. I lamely stare at the progress bar: 25 seconds... 24 seconds... 23 seconds... WTF? You'd think our combat computers have Microsoft Windows installed in them or something for as long as it takes to lock one simple destroyer! 22... 21... I start pulling my hair out...
So now my ship is down to half shields, I'm completely bald after having run out of hair to pull out, and the enemy ship is finally locked with our tracking computers. "OPEN FIRE!" I scream. "pew pew" goes my little neutron blaster. Oh well, so much for dramatic entrances. I slap on the nos and the web and the scram and engage both my ECM in an attempt to jam the offending piece of offal that is trying to pass itself off as a Destroyer. The sorry bastard has released a drone upon us!
Yarr! The cowardly drone spins and flies around my glorious ship like a fly pestering a great stallion. How undignified! The Destroyer pilot will pay for this with his ship! The ECM jams his puny targeting systems while my small Nosferatu steadily drains the life blood from the enemies scrapheap. I close to optimal range and fire round after round of small antimatter charges into his hull. I can see fire and flame spouting from the huge rents I'm putting in the enemies hull.
Then space and time seem to freeze, bending and warping, holding both of our ships motionless for a brief moment. I've heard tales of this phenomenon, sometimes referred to as "LAG". And then the enemy ship is ripped apart, it's structure unable to bear the shame of having once mounted mining lasers. Now I had the enemy pod staring down the barrel of my blaster, as I was staring down CONCORDS own barrels. Doh. =]

Yes, another great read, and this time no coffee...
I have found that it helps to have a friend with an extra hauler around for some of these bigger ops otherwise it's too much like legitimate hauling work ... and who cba to haul 15 loads???
I have added you to my address book and will take you up on your offer.
More thoughts on the whole subject:
* the best thing about this is the surprise. Sure, you can return in another ship if you die, but there's a likelihood that they are too chicken to stick around. The surprise is the biggest thing. They realize that they are outgunned and want to warp off and are held. That's about the moment you can walk away from your computer and into the kitchen to refill your drink and come back to reload ... maybe fore the second time. Once they figure this out it's time to find a new system b/c they won't continue to fight ... they'll just call in the heavy and it's a lot of waiting around.
* how is the jamming working out? Don't the drones attack anyway? I have tried attacking the drones directly but it's kinda hard.
* The whole thing about losing your pod. I find that that's one of the most rewarding things ... Once I witnessed two cruisers get concordorkened b/c they swiped at my pod. Another time I had to return to see the destruction, but a brutix and an osprey died at the hands of the police AFTER podding me.... kinda sucked, but hey, it was 3m for the clone, 3m for the ship+ fittings and I dunno how many million for their two ships/gear .... I think I win. Yeah, we cannot bear to think of our other char with implants and a 60m clone get wasted, but chaces are it won't happen .... too bad that ship trick doesn't work tho
* When ppl attempt to convo you during the battle, demand a ransom ... I once demanded that a player shout in local, "It's peanutbutter time!" ... but being a bad pirate I killed him anyway.
* This one time, on the second map, I was beating my friend 10 to 1 and the timer was ticking down so I caught him going for the health and instead of killing him I bounced him into the lava with a rocket launcher shot at his feet making it an even 10 to 0!

Thats gotta be meh favourite part yet <3 the humour...
I'm very inspired myself to dig out the ol faithful mammoth and rig her up for abit off fun
Even in the past i've looted some ore pre and post RMR, what i found to help was BM the roid belts of my favoured hunting systems. I would make a 200 KM BM at each belt directly above or below the belt, this way i wouldn't get snagged up on the roids when charging for the can Also enabling you to warp to CAN at 15 km from 200 km BM, as you can warp to objects after 150 km, catch meh drift

Youre flagged to the owner of the can, his corp, and anyone who was ganged with him at the time of the theft, IIRC.

Great read! I was bored to death at work and now I have something to look forward to when I get home. I find it an odd, but enjoyable hobby harrassing farmers/macroers in high sec.
As for the ship in the hold deal, you can put the ship in packaged, but if you jet it or blow up, it will assemble itself and float around. Unfortunately, it's useless since you won't have anything fitted to it.
BTW, for you mischievous indy pirates out there. Jetting 150+ shuttles at the Kisogo gate in Jita will get you in a lot of trouble. :(

Oh, and for the record, you are supposed to petition (why ccp considers this y our job i dunno ... not like they pay me anything for this) any macroers you see. So if you suspect macro-activity, not organized farming, but computer-aided reapage, then you are supposed to let ccp know ... and then, as far as I know, their ore is fair game.
I think the reason for this is that if CCP is killing a macro account it also wants to kill the accomplices - like the (macro) hauler. If you wouldn't have to petition the macrominer the macrominers own hauler could just say that he was stealing the ore.

uhh... it's not like you take a sec hit for stealing ore. show up in an AF and flip the can, come back once they've all warped out in your indy of choice et voila, veldspar! the macrominers that i've messed with don't shoot you, because (obviously) of abuse of the can-flagging agro system. they usually just target and approach you. -------=========+=========-------
