Gedugaud, .7 sec in Metropolis, is constantly occupied by 30 or so macro-mining Mackinaws in its single ice field. None are in corporations. Most have nonsense names. No local chat is taking place. They're all equipped the same, with no tank, 2 Ice harvester II's, 2 ice harvester upgrade II's. Effective armor is 5404 in EFT.
I would like to start ganking a few of these a day. I don't expect to make a profit. I do want to minimize my losses.
I have four accounts to do this with. I will be making new characters and training them up with the minimum skills to accomplish the task. My second monitor is out so I will lose some time switching windows between accounts when activating weapons. Tested response time for Concord is 10 seconds.
Which ship, fitting, and skills could accomplish this task for the lowest cost?
Operations like this are artificially inflating my GTC isk cost. They must suffer...

One ship fits so as to nuke the shields, the others for exp holes- seeing as you are attacking in sequence. If you have 10 seconds then i guess t1 fitted gank brutix w/ full insurance? I don't want to set the world on fire |

Or if you want to make sure they die quick first. get a blastertron. I'm sure that will be enough

Hmmm... i'd be up for a suicide gank.. I remmber a while back we were being smacked by a corp around amarr so we used 20 caracals fully insured to nuke 3 hulks on a belt. Brutix or Domi would probably be good as sometimes the drones will keep firing even after your ship dies for a few seconds.
Contact me ingame this sounds like fun!

Would overlapping large smartbomb configurations work on a Mackinaw? I'm not sure as I have only tried suiciding Retrievers with this method.

A high rack full of tech 1 smarties does 2k damage a pulse. You should get off 2 pulses in 10 seconds. Take a couple of tier 1 battleships, disco 'em up, find a warp in in the middle, and light 'em up!
Just expect your sec to plumet as you'd be getting their pods as well, which probably have expensive ice mining 'plants. |

I got my first gank in. I ended up using four Vexors with Special Forces pilots that had less than two days training. I would have made about 3 mil profit off the deal, but I forgot to insure my Vexors in my excitement to go test it out. Thanks for the suggestions on BS and Brutix. I have some BS pilots I may try it out with since the macro'er groups 5 mackinaws together within smart bomb range.
