Jetzin	Posted - 2006.07.20 14:16:00 - [1] Edited by: Jetzin on 20/07/2006 14:18:20 I found some macro ice miners in jita and they use the following. Often you'll 3 mackinows ice mining, those are the exhumer variants of the retrievers.With 1 elite industrial sitting nearby with tractor beams to pick up teh loot. Those are hard to gank due the resistance bonusses they have, also the tractor beam makes it challeging to trick them into can theft as non gang cans are not beamable. EDIT: the elite hauler is a gallente one, can fit loads of stabs incase u can trigger can theft. Any suggestion for these kinds of weirdos in their expensive ships to kill?
Freyda	Posted - 2006.07.20 14:52:00 - [2] How do you know these guys are macro miner's exactly...? Me and my corp mates were once thought to be macro miner's merely because our mining operation was quite efficient, it wasn't until we replied to people in local that they realised we were just a group of friends that worked well together.
tropic81	Posted - 2006.07.20 15:04:00 - [3] Bring friends with lots of scram
Sakura Nihil Tharsis Security	Posted - 2006.07.20 15:11:00 - [4] I suppose the unelegant answer would be...lots and lots of suicide kessies, or a smartbombing Geddon or two. The ice miner drops should hopefully pay for your ship's insurance and module costs, but its less profitable than just ganking it with 3 or 4 kessies.
HippoKing Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.20 15:12:00 - [5] suicide them A caracal can easily wipe a mackinaw if you are careful I think
Sean Dillon Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.20 15:53:00 - [6] Edited by: Sean Dillon on 20/07/2006 15:54:02 Mackinaws have a fairly good resistance though. U would need more then one. I would just report them and leave them to it.
Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.07.20 17:03:00 - [7] 8 large smartbombs ftw.
RaThlan Naaoor	Posted - 2006.07.20 17:09:00 - [8] Bah, who cares if they're macrominers ;)
thatguyinpc	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:00:00 - [9] Edited by: thatguyinpc on 20/07/2006 18:03:43 It sounds to me like you are picking on under defended players, not pursuing the righteous cause of destroying macros. As to whether or not they work for a sweatshop who knows.... Guy

HippoKing Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:19:00 - [11] Originally by: Sean Dillon Mackinaws have a fairly good resistance though. U would need more then one. I would just report them and leave them to it. It could easily be done. Just not sure if it would be classed as an exploit or not You would definitely lose the caracal to concord, but you have time to kill at least one mackinaw, maybe all 3.
thatguyinpc	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:20:00 - [12] Edited by: thatguyinpc on 20/07/2006 18:22:29 LOL well if he had titled his thread: I'm picking on miners. I'd have jut thought "Yarr Harr Didle Dee Dee, Do what you want cause a pirate is free" and not bothered to respond. However, he choose to name his thread "How to kill these type of macroers?" So I wanted to point out that all he's doing is picking on players in what sounds like high sec space. Is it whithin the game rules and mechanics? Yes. Is this the kind of service that helps the community as a whole? No. Destroying macros is an honerable goal, and not really pirating in my opinion. Picking on players in high sec, without even the motivation of profit is really not even worthy of the pirate name. Guy
darklegionca	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:21:00 - [13] sadly i know excatly who your talking about his name is golden eyes hes the controler of the rest of his mining barges hes there 23 /7 i asked them if they were macroers when they replyed to my hail's and they just left the convos so indeed they are macro bastards and they need to be killed ccp will do nothing i have reported them so kill them every chance you get
Berrik Radhok GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:24:00 - [14] 4 bombageddons or so should do the trick. Click here for something interesting concerning D2 and Sparta!
MrBadidea Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:28:00 - [15] I caught 4 Mackinaw's and a Itty Mk 5 in Khanid space a few days ago. Geddon + 8x Plasma Smartbomb I + 3x Large Shield Extender I, + 4x Co-Pro O + 4x 1600MM Plate = 12k shield, 22k armor. You'll get about 3 blasts in on the smartbombs, depending on how long it takes Concord to turn up. Insured, that lot should cost you about 80~85m ISK. Insurance pays back 66m. Send in an alt to collect whatever is left of the bombageddon, and hope the macroers had some decent gear fitted; in my case, I got 7 local hull expanders + the rest of their gear.
Mrmuttley Apocalypse Enterprises	Posted - 2006.07.20 18:34:00 - [16] A While back i killed a Hulk in a 0.9 with a Raven Fitted 8 x large named SB Mid was sheild booster and capinjectors lows was a rep and 2 bulkheads and a damage control. In hindsight for empire suiciding hitpoints and resistance is way way more important than repping. You're going to die so your aim is to give Concord as many hitpoints as possible to kill rather than try to rep it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am Dyslexic of Borg.

RaThlan Naaoor	Posted - 2006.07.21 19:47:00 - [17] Edited by: RaThlan Naaoor on 21/07/2006 19:47:40 Originally by: thatguyinpc Destroying macros is an honerable goal, and not really pirating in my opinion. Picking on players in high sec, without even the motivation of profit is really not even worthy of the pirate name. Guy Now this sort of comment is just silly. Wikipedia->Pirates were filthy profiteers. "The code is more of a guideline than an actual rule" is a romanticized version of the truth. For the following examples replace sea with space. From the wiki article: One who commits piracy by engaging in robbery, pillaging, or plundering at sea is known as a pirate From Dictionary.com pi+rate Audio pronunciation of "pirate" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (prt) n. 1. 1. One who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without commission from a sovereign nation. 2. A ship used for this purpose. 2. One who preys on others; a plunderer. Anyone defining 'piracy' as anything else implies they don't have a good understanding of the English language and the historical roots of the word "pirate". That's all a preface to your comment: Is this the kind of service that helps the community as a whole? No. Why would you say that? As someone who manufactures goods, I really rather hope many miners lose their strip miners, that way I can sell more of 'em :). I've seen plenty of posts from miners who don't -like- combat, but also accept that it's part of the game and mining would be -dull- if there wasn't some chance of foolishness. So - OP, 'geddon bomb them to hell. Just hope someone doesn't come after you for it
thatguyinpc	Posted - 2006.07.21 20:11:00 - [18] LOL which brings us back to this is just another pirating thread that really has nothing to do with macro miners as advertised. But thank you for taking the time to cow me into submission by pulling out the big gun: wikki!!! which of course is the end all be all of accumulated knowledge from which no opponent ever recovers. Guy
thatguyinpc	Posted - 2006.07.21 20:20:00 - [19] Note to self, next time a pirate wants a ransom remember that per RaThlan Naaoor I shouldnÆt pay. Because ransoming wasnÆt in the wikki discription, and therefore itÆs not a real pirate that IÆm dealing with. So while I may not be able to kill him I can damage him psychologically by taunting that heÆs not a real pirate, wikki says soà. Guy

Guy /edit to respond to 2nd post in a row by poster Not at all - I'm pointing out that -all- brands of looting, etc fall under the term "pirate" by definition. What kind of pirate you are seen to be greatly depends on your reputation. Originally by: thatguyinpc But thank you for taking the time to cow me into submission by pulling out the big gun: wikki!!! which of course is the end all be all of accumulated knowledge from which no opponent ever recovers. Guy Dictionary.com though is quite reliable And no attempt to cow you, just a heartfelt comment on a silly attempt to discorage killing miners - OP should feel free to do so :)

EDIT: the elite hauler is a gallente one, can fit loads of stabs incase u can trigger can theft. Any suggestion for these kinds of weirdos in their expensive ships to kill? What you describe sounds like an efficient mining operation to me. The use of an Elite Industrial,escpecially a Gallente one is common sense as they get are able to hold more with expanders. Secondly using a tractor beam is again common sense,I use the same on my hauler for both mining and mission running,which is a godsend,not having to fetch rat cans here there in a slow and unagile ship,especially one fitted with good expanders in the lows. Finally mackinaws give a huge bonus to Ice mining,which has to be perhaps the dullest of all mining ops,so the less time doing it the better.(unless you have a fetish for this of course),so if you can mine with more than one again it makes sense. So please try to distiguish here,that just because an ice mining team uses the most efficient setup they can,is not automatically a flag that says "Macro Miner",and they are certainly not some kind of "weirdos",due to the fact these ships happen to have additional bonuses for resistance. Also,mostly any ship can be ganked in Empire as you can easily read here on the forums. Threads like these really serve no constructive purpose,except inflaming an already hot topic,if you really are so concerned with them being Macros petition it,join macro intel channel,cross reference,ect. If they are as you say Macros,working to get them permabanned by CCP is a better way to go. Finally,the ships in the op you described take a fair while to skill for,much better to try for the permaban by CCP,and them lose the account,than just buying new ships clone ect.
Rikeka Amarr	Posted - 2006.07.22 00:57:00 - [22] Easy. Rob them, if they don¦t complain to you in the following 2 minutes after that, they are macroers. Keep robbing them till the guy notices it. If they do complain, you can return them the stolen ore or not. Up to you. I generally return it if I made a mistake. What I hate? -Men in female characters. -More to come.
Mineral Inquisitor Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.22 01:19:00 - [23] If you simply wanted to profit from them and not destroy them, you could have a friend bump the hauler out of tractor range and pilot a haluer of your own and pick up their ice. (Or vice versa.) Originally by: Metatron Celestia You can stab, gank, grief, ransom miners, steal from their can, but if you pop their ore can, my gawd there will be hell to pay. Dude, where's my char?
OrangeAfroMan Suffoco Noctis Atrocitas	Posted - 2006.07.22 03:37:00 - [24] Yay for all the macrominer witch hunts :/ Seriously people stop with all the "macro hunting" and leave it to people like the Resevoir Dogs. Gronsak is Tux's angry alt.

RaThlan Naaoor	Posted - 2006.07.22 14:44:00 - [26] Or, just take miner ore anyway And shame on them for littering in the belts with their silly jetcans

Lol,it won't be long before they start dunking Ice miners pods in large vats of quafe... If the Pod floats well then,EBIL MACRO USER,.....and thus must die..... And if the Egg sinks..well then it would appear u were just an innocent little lamb cutlet,trying to make a few Isk... BTW ..anyone with this Godly amount of fuzz,Linkage,knows what they are talking about. .. [/] Afroman for "Witchfinder General"....
Ixian001a Caldari	Posted - 2006.07.22 17:18:00 - [28] If its in a .5 system, they cant tank rats indefinitly, a new use for tracking links and shield transmission arrays :)
