Hi all, id like to do some hisec ganking of Rtrievers and Hulks in a 0.5 system and as i'll be attempting this solo I have some questions:
For Retrievers i'd like to use a Neutron fit Catalyst, will this do the job solo?
For Hulks i'd also like to use a Neutron fit Brutix, will this do the job?
For Retrievers id just go at it, but for Hulks I guess I need to see how they are fit and what tank they have, so Passive targeter and ship scanner I assume are essential, however, how can I tell if i'll kill them before Concord arrive. With my skills I can get a Hulk with an EHP of almost 12k. Would a Brutix do the job, with my current skills and best named Neutrons and all Mag Stabs in the lows and Navy ammo I get a volley of 1653 and 518 DPS, do I need to add some rigs?
I have over 50 mill SP and a lot is in PvP type skills.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EFT is your friend.
That said, I have no experience in the catalyst, but I have ganked retrievers with one thrasher (autocannon fit)

Hmm I will check that out, and yes I have worked a bit with EFT although actual player experience is 'nearly' always more valuable then EFT. Thank you for responding, i'll certainly look into Thrasher also.

It's beyond easy to caulk a Hulk in 0.5 with a neutron Brutix. I've sunk dozens of Hulks and almost always it's been in a higher sec system than that. Check out my Brutix lossmails at this link to get an idea of what works. Every setup used there was successful.
1. You do not need a prop mod. Scout the belts in something inconspicuous and bookmark something within optimal range of the Hulk. Warp back with your Brutix.
2. Overheat.
3. Make sure CONCORD is on your overview. I... have forgotten this in the past. :(
4. If EFT says you do over 825 DPS within your optimal range, you're good to go in at least 0.5 and 0.6 systems.

In case someone else has already generated CONCORD at the belt you try to gank someone at. Sometimes it's because someone else suicided a miner in the same belt, but other times it's just a mining operation that deliberately suicided one of their own disposable alts in order to generate CONCORD at their mining site. Once CONCORD spawns in a belt, they apparently stay there until downtime, thus allowing immunity to those mining there (unless they get attacked by a suicide alpha Tempest, which is considerably more expensive than a suicide Brutix.)
If CONCORD is already on-site, the normal delay before CONCORD reacts is obviously negated.

IIRC, CONCORD will be on site for the length of the GCC, or around 15minutes. It could be longer than this, but they do certainly despawn within the hour. -------

Brutix is overkill for Hulks. Go Thorax.
Fit T1, gank fit, faction ammo, drones out and engage close. Make sure of no CONCORD ships on the belt. Also check Hulk has no shield mods running.
Give little time for reaction, so try and warp to him at 0, and get fast on your optimal.
Don't be afraid of CONCORD that much, you'll get more than just a single volley. Volley dmg only matters when you HAVE to kill it with a single volley. For example, people use/used to fit arties on other race ships to get the sure one-KO kill. But that only helps when CONCORD is already present on the grid. If no CONCORD presense on the belt you'll engage, you can get multiple volleys easy.

Step one: edit your dumbface avatar to look less like a man. Step two: no thank you.
Step three: Using the advice here I have had great fun ganking Macro Hulks in my home system and some retrievers as well.
Thanks again guys and gals.

Don't go waste Brutix's. A T2 Thorax is plenty. I am too lazy to look for a better link, but here's an alt's page during Hulkageddon.

Not quite true. The Roids have Rats to defend them.
