This is my favourite thread as well.  It's even inspired me to make a good hauler for operating in low sec while on ops.

My explanation for shooting down one hauler was that it was flying away from the jump gate in an aggressive manner.

My B.Badger setup has been.
Highs: T2 Neutron Blaster, Smalled named thermal smartie
Mids: EM Hardener, Thermal Hardener, 7.5k scram, web, AB, medium shield extender
Lows: 2x Mag stab, damage control
All T1 un-named except the weapons.
Obviously you need to use extreme caution with the smartie but it can kill 2 waves of 5 light drones or one wave of medium drones before the shields run out. Then you can torture/ransom/whatever the barge at your leisure. T2 drones would probably be it's end but I haven't seen any barges using them yet. Not even the Hulk that went down, very, very slowly. (Still waiting for my war dec from that one, people make all these promises in the heat of the moment :()
The webs not really needed it just means you can sit still and not have to watch your seperation from things all the time.
Being Caldari it hadn't even crossed my mind to armour tank. :p I'll have to give it a go.
If it wasn't going to take a month to train I'd get a covetor and set one of them up for battle. It'd be a lot more expensive but Comedy Gold.
A covetor is going to be a tight fit. What sort of build are you thinking as there are no turret or launcher hardpoints (I've tried to put guns on a barge before).

I've found it easy to get people to flag themselves. I turn up in a cruiser, do the jet can ore swap trick. I'm guessing that with 24 ice in my can they'd like it back so they turn up with an itty 4/5 with cargo expanders (or equivalent). They align to jump and they'll jump just after looting your can. The timing is critical as you have to hit the scram as soon as the ore/ice disappears from the can otherwise they'll warp away. Alternatively you can bump their ship. Bloody hard to time but a lot of fun.
I even had one guy who slipped through and he got his ore and then came back to loot my ratting cans still flashing red. Prior to his arrival he convo'd me to abuse me then left the channel. A rifter with 1mn ab and nanofibre structure doesn't last long vs a cruiser. It's amazing how many people want to convo you with a 100k cscp charge.

Where do you mine so that I may introduce myself
I only mine players so you might find me anywhere. Typically you'll find me in a Celestis "mining" ore from their can into my can and then into my hauler. You don't need mining lasers to mine large quantites of ore and ice.
