Pallanx	Posted - 2006.05.03 14:32:00 - [1] Hello, I'm in need of some advice.. Theres a macro miner active in my region for a week or two. I plan on attacking him with an alt I had lying around. He can fly a tristan atm, has a few turret skills and some missiles. wasn't planning on doing something sensible with him, so might aswell do this. So, besides training him to use a warp scrambler, could a tristan blow a covetor out of the sky before concord zapps me? If not, what would be handy to train (smartbombs? more on the weapon skills he allready has?) I'd appreciate your thoughts.. Planning on using 2 missile launchers, and two hybrid guns (small) and all the drones I can stack. some skills here: Drones lvl 1 Gunnery lvl 4 Small Hybrid Turret lvl 3 Missile Launcher Operation lvl 2 Standard Missiles lvl 1 Gallente Frigate lvl 3
Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2006.05.03 14:59:00 - [2] I highly doubt it; but hey, what's it going to cost you to try? Besides, it'll be fun. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
Pallanx	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:01:00 - [3] my thoughts exactly.. a collega of mine is planning the same thing. we'll probably do it together, that'll work. well (sigh) off to plan some more missile skills for this guy..
Iron Wraith	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:08:00 - [4] if its a 1.0 no chance if its a 0.5 then strap blasters and antimatter and as many dmg mods as u can and let rip . then try blasters and armour plates and see if you get any further. maybe its worth training for cruisers tho. in a 0.8 u can gank a frig with a rax before concord kill you. in a 0.5 u could tank concord for a while in a sheild tanked rax (i was very young back then and didnt know any better, i did last untill the BS's arrived tho). for the best damage output it has to be blasters and antimatter ammo. its not as if you have to rush to get into optimal range. ure prey isnt going anywhere. gl in your vigilante ways. i threw a t2 fitted rax at a hi-sec terrorist once, was great fun Because sometimes you just have to go back to your roots: [2005.02.20 01:08:03] (combat) Your Civilian Light Electron Blaster perfectly strikes Serpentis Smuggler, wrecking for 20.3 damage.

Iron Wraith	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:27:00 - [6] with minimum skills an incursus with 3 neutron blasters does more damage than a tristian with 2 neutrons and 2 rockets so go for the blasters Because sometimes you just have to go back to your roots: [2005.02.20 01:08:03] (combat) Your Civilian Light Electron Blaster perfectly strikes Serpentis Smuggler, wrecking for 20.3 damage.
Jobie Thickburger	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:32:00 - [7] Also, If he's floating around low sec, you can try stealing some of his ore, Some Macros have their drones set to engage you if you steal the ore (or its automatic because its considered a hostile action, not sure) Anyhow, if you steal the ore, the drones fire on you, you are able to blow him up without concord getting on your case New Mining Director- MGTTG
Lil Thief	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:36:00 - [8] Hmmmm..... Would this work with a stelath bomber??
Hurada	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:36:00 - [9] Yeah try transfering his ore into your own can whilst in your combat ship. If he steals it back then gank him, or if not blow up _your_ can with his ore in
Maxell Snow	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:46:00 - [10] If you are near placid, osmeden, shoot me an evemail, I'd be happy to help...No love for the macrominers...plus I wouldn't mind the ore:) *An industrial, roleplaying corporation, currently recruiting* -----------------------------------------------
Aram Gishno	Posted - 2006.05.03 15:55:00 - [11] Originally by: Lil Thief Edited by: Lil Thief on 03/05/2006 15:41:26 Hmmmm..... Would this work with a stelath bomber?? im thinking lock the target, begin warping, fire cruise missles just before warping. it would probably work, but you will loose the stealth bomber. Cloaking it won't help and it's considered an exploit to avoid concord anyhow :)
Karadmah	Posted - 2006.05.03 16:08:00 - [12] Form yourself a new corporation and have a couple of friend's alts join. Use one alt in a hauler to steal the ore and the other two in something like a blackbird and a caracal/kestrel. Occasionally, a miner will warp away to fetch his combat ship to blow up the 'thief'. As soon as he attacks, anyone in your new corp can attack the miner's ship. Warp in, jam the enemy, scram and web him and open fire. As long as your target is in an NPC corp, he won't get any assistance other than a shield transfer or remote armour repair. If he doesn't attack you, try moving the ore to your own can and see if he takes it back. If he does, same thing applies, all your corp can shoot him down. If you get no response at all, well at least you got some free ore to split between you and your mates, and there are no shortage of targets for you.

Something similiar happened to a few of my corp mates, and it doesn't appear to work this way. 1. Corp mate liberates Ore from a Macro Miner 2. Macro Miner leaves, comes back with Combat ship and attacks Corp mate (legal flag due to aggression timer). 3. A 2nd Corp mate who is also ganged comes to help and does not have a flag vs. the Macro miner and thus gets concorded after trying to help.

Doddy	Posted - 2006.05.03 17:32:00 - [15] i tried it in a .7 and concord zapped me in about 3 seconds. But hey thats what alts are for. We stole all their ice out the cans anyway.

Ben Hump	Posted - 2006.05.03 18:15:00 - [17] steal their ore and wait for aggroe me and my ore stealing alt (just ore stealing from macroes btw) got a large barge and my friend got a apoc the same way from macroes May contain traces of irony "Yes Mister Tristan"
Craminu	Posted - 2006.05.03 19:50:00 - [18] if you are sure hes an macro miner. then steal ore. But i cant realy tell how you guys figue out if hes using an macro? i hate to be blamed of using macro if i werent while stripping belts.

If you suspect a macro miner, petition him for abuse, THEN steal his ore. If he swears at you in local chat, he's no macro. If you don't file the petition, it can be argued that you're taking advantage of an EULA breach. Once CCP are notified it's open season. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
