I personally have a 0.0 alt, he is in a frigate made for pure speed, going over 1300m/s with AB on. I often use him to steal other peoples drops, he can allign before anyone can lock him / scramble him, no large ship can hit him due to his speed and small radius.
It would be extremly hard to gank him, unless you fly an inty or something like that.

A Tale Of Two Cities (Part 3)
A short while later, a chat request box appeared on my screen and I was thrust into a conversation with Andrew once more.
In a split second, I decided that honesty was the best policy, and after dramatically confessing everything and throwing myself at his mercy, I was somewhat surprised to see that he didn't seem remotely bothered:
Link
Not entirely unlike the thrice-weekly activities of Backdoor Bandit and his friend Hans Roaming, this loving mutual raiding had been taking place for some time, and was considered to be quite normal between these two parties. My nerves became calmed and soothed, and the conversation changed to the topic of my dream of building a n00b haven in 0.0.
Andrew began to teach me the mechanics of station-building:
Link
Maelstrom alliance had created their first station just two months ago, and it gave me substantial hope that I could also follow in their footsteps by doing the same.
Unfortunately, Andrew advised me that in order to achieve this, I would probably need to create an alliance of at least 300 pilots who would be willing to lay their lives down for the good of the n00bs.
It was a tall order indeed, and I began to wonder if I was living in a deluded fantasy world.
After meeting me halfway, Andrew escorted me back to Maelstrom Prime, where I docked and was pleased to meet lots of new people.
I began to ask about their feelings towards I.A.C:
Link
The source of the conflict between them was complex, and stretched far back into the history of the south. I recalled talking with the pilots in ASCN space, during the capital ships parade on my first night there, and of learning about their history with D2, and I imagined that if there did exist a solution to the conflict between IAC and Maelstrom, it would be very difficult to implement.
I then listened to their memories of creating their first station:
Link
There was a great sense of warmth in listening to the excited recollections of the events that had led to the creation of their very own home, and I was heartened and bolstered by the experience. I resolved that I would continue to ignore those who say it cannot be done, and would resolutely pursue the idea.
IAC then unexpectedly burst into the system and raided Maelstrom:
Link
This time I was on the other side of the attack, and I decided that the perfect opportunity had arisen to attempt to heal the wounds between these two warring peoples:
Link
My speech was failing miserably, and my noble delusions of inter-region unity were dwindling more rapidly than the credibility of a man who had been caught in a compromising position with a cucumber, a tub of vaseline and a flock of sheep...
I hurriedly decided to deflect attention onto a more positive aspect of their relationship, and not entirely unlike someone on the receiving end of an eviscerating political speech, I was promptly accused of supporting terrorists...
Link
The brutal raid ended and I spent the rest of the night getting to know the pilots in Maelstrom, whom I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with. I really liked both of these alliances and it truly saddened me that they could not find a way to get along.
I headed back to The Distillery and logged out, intending to return fresh the next day for some serious "shuttle diplomacy."
I was determined to succeed in my first valiant attempt at being a neutral diplomat.
However, when I logged back in, I shockingly discovered that the banner of the Mining Coalition was now flying over the Distillery, which had just been ruthlessly conquered!

Don't forget about FIX's force :-). The people around immensea are sitting back eating popcorn and watching to see who wins the pool on IAC's battle.

Hostile Takeover
Upon logging back in, I stared goggle-eyed at the screen as the realisation dawned on me that the station I was docked at no longer belonged to the Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate.
The Mercenary Coalition banner was proudly flying and I wondered just who it was who had hired them to besiege The Distillery in a bombardment of violent station-stealing shock.
I quickly discovered the answer to my question
Link
It would appear that my fearless rock excavator friends had been hired by a group called "Firmus Ixion" and had fought alongside them to conquer The Distillery.
I was relieved that they had not damaged the strip club:
Link
Being more astonished by this than a woman who was in a jewellers shop and who, after having been offered a choice between three different types of necklace, had opted for pearl, I had no choice but to immediately interrogate the invaders:
Link
Upon further questioning and discussion with the 110 people in Local (much to the annoyance of their commanders who wanted silence and did not get it) I then learned that FIX were friends with the Steven Spielberg television mini series "Band-Of-Brothers" and were vaguely neutral towards ASCN.
I began to wonder if this development had any connection with the war that was taking place in the deep south between BOB and ASCN, and as I adjusted my tinfoil hat to get a better view, I wondered which seemingly unconnected alliance on the map would get blown up next...
At the beginning of my adventure I did not have the faintest clue, nor the slightest interest in EVE politics, but I now found myself becoming absolutely enthralled and intrigued by the layers of history that had been blood-stainingly piled upon each other via sweat-filled years of conflict, strife, friendship, treachery, upheaval and bitter sorrow.
With the subject of death now sadly on my mind, I continued in my conversation with members of FIX, and as they were talking I recalled that when I had been flying between Maelstrom Prime and the Distillery, I had been viciously and skin-slicingly attacked by a dirty duo of dastardly devil-worshippers:
Link
The "Imperial Republic Of The North" had bitterly destroyed my humble ship for no reason, had brutally podded me and had then shockingly teased me after bumping into me again outside the distillery.
When it happened I had informed IAC of the outrage:
Link
I now informed FIX of the harrowing incident too:
Link
I can honestly say that it was the first time I had ever been referred to as an item of anal headgear...
What was it, that caused this mixture of joy and pain to sweep the continuum, like a monolithic intergalactic broom of contradiction?
During my short time in this world, I had encountered such great, wonderful, truly magnificent souls, who were more than willing to go beyond the call of duty to help, and to further the happiness of those around them.
However, I had also encountered a multitude of lecherous low-down wretched mutant gutter-residing bloodsuckers of the worst possible breeding, who would not know the word "courtesy" even if their family name was "Assy" and their parents, via some contrived co-incidence had named them all "Curt".
Perhaps, to appreciate joy one must first experience sadness, for something can only be truly measured in relation to its opposite.
I needed to clear my mind and to escape from this ever-escalating conflict, so I decided to do something fun and crazy. I excitedly opened my map, and for no reason whatsoever, I crazily plotted a random 100-jump course to somewhere I had never been before...
Where would I land next?...
