Well having asked the question in here I decided to try out some of your advice.
I wanted to destroy some Macro Miners and so I decided to go down the throw away Caracal route.
I scaned the Covetor first to make sure it had some fairly decent kit on it before I thre away my Caracal in Empire space for nothing. I approach him and orbit at 5000km (Seems to give maximum effect on Npcs)
I am fitted with 5 X Heavy missle turrets which are loaded with 2x widow 2x Thunder and 1 x Scourge
I am hoping to get 2 salvos off before concord show up which i had been advised should hopefully work.
It Didnt !!!!!!!
Basically i managed to destroy about 3/4 of his armour before i went pop. I would love to know the setup of a Caracal capable of destroying one of these covetors before the concord show up and pop me.
Can anyone else help at all??

Just get a few of your friends to help, you still make nice money even if you have to split it. ___

Edited by: Sir Howard on 30/10/2006 16:43:05 lol I also tried recently and died. Although I was wondering how the heck I get owned concord because heres what happened. Me and a friend found some macro miners, he started takin stuff from them trying to provoke them. Next thing I know one of them in a thorax opens up on him. I go to help him out by targeting the thorax's drones which are all over my friend at this time. I get a couple missiles off and then BAM! I'm dead concord wiped the floor with me.
P.S. yes I am a noob so flame on, idc. but I was jsut wondering why concord would attack me if me and my friend were in a gang and they attacked us first...

They got kill rights on your friend, which means he can shoot back with concord intervention. No one else. Doesn't matter who is in his gang or corp.
Think about it. If everyone in your friend's gang could fire back then you could have a fleet waiting nearby for them to agress and it would never ever be worth firing due to the risk. - - - - - - - - - -

So what would have had to happen for me to be able to fire on them? I would have to be fired upon after taking something from their can?

Oh Thats changed my way of thinking then. I was out with one of my m8s last night doing the same thing. Unfortunately they didnt bite so no fight. But i thought that as we are in the same corp and gang that if they fired on him we could both fire back. Better make sure he's flashing red first then. We found a macro miner in an apoc that we were gonna take down. He was using drones and 7 mineing lasers. I had 2 x scrams and 2x Disruptors for him to test out.

1. Only use window makers 2. Only target retrievers, covetors are to strong to gank alone 3. Only do it in .6 and preferbly in .5 if your rate of fire sucks. 4. Try again with a caracal 5. Retrievers with drones around them to kill npc rats are great, when u attack they will shoot you and you'll lose less sec status in the process.

Here is the easiest way to kill a macro miner without get Concorded in high sec. Helps to have a friend but not neccisary.
Warp to offending individual. Get real close to their can, at least within 1500 meters so you can get into it. Make sure they are actually macro mining. Remember, we are heping the mining community out not pirates ganking miners trying to make a living.
Jet a can containing 1 of something, say a slave or an exotic dancer.
Now open their can and then open your can. Place all of their ore into your can.
Have the target already locked and with a scrambler pop goes the macro miner when they try to grab their ore and warp off. Because you now have kills rights on them trying to get their ore back.
If they do manage to just warp off and leave the can, well you got their ore and they have wasted their time.
For extra laughs, have a buddy uncloak at 100km's or so and lay waste to them as you have them jammed and scrammed.
Rinse and repeat.

Did exactly that 2 night ago.
Was a good feeling although I nearly lost my BB. I had 2xwarp scrams on him and 2xdisruptors but I never had a shield booster fitted. He had 4 vespa drones which I though wouldn't be too much of a problem but it took alot longer to take down the covetor than i anticipated. I decided i would rather die fighting than run and went to 1/2 hull before he popped. I think i need to fit a shield booster for the next one and maybe some different missles. Still I got 3x strip miner 1s from it and all of his drones so i'm 8mil richer now :)
Any advice on best bb setup for it would be good. Damage dealing was quite slow.

Its a game, so they are macro bad guys, if you think that then petition it to CCP and let them deal with it. Play this game to get away from rl problems not to find more in a computerised universe ffs.
Whilst ur at it go to a red light district get drunk and laid and try and pay with someone elses credit card. rinse and repeat until u mellow out dude.

Actually I do it when I get bored of doing whatever Im doing. The true miners in our system appreciate it and I have recieved BPC's from them in appreciation.
