I apoligise in advance i failed English at school
I was reading stories in this topic and saw it as a great idea to use Industrial Ships to pirate in high sec.
I was bored so i thought why not give it a try.
I left Curse and headed to Derlic where i bought a
Mammoth I fitted it out like this;
Highs
200mm AutoCannon
Energy Neutraliser
Meds
Stasis Webbifier
Warp Scrambler
2 multispectral Jammers
Small Cap Booster
lows
Small Armour repairer
400mm titanium plates
Energised Adaptive Membrane
Damage Control
This setup fell well within my power grid and cpu.
After picking up my last fitting in 0.4 i headed to the closest 0.8 system i could find but on route i ran into a smal gate camp of four cruiser sized ships i was close to the gate when the struck only about 5km, i desided to activate my tank and buckle in for the ride. To my surpise i made it through with two of the gate campers sitting in there pods, I had tested my tank and it passed.
I got to the 0.8 system and jumped to the first belt, there was a barge there mining away happily so i struck! I swooped in (if you can swoop at 170m/s) and swicthed the cans and filled my hold. Just as a interon warped in to collect the ore. He went straight to the can and oppened it
getting himself flagged. I locked him and a minuet later i opend fire with my 200mm AutoCannon and offensive mods. Even with my ausome firepower it took some time durring which i was nevously checking Overveiw for his friends to show up but alas he finnaly went pop. the time it took me to kill him i could have ransomed but tbh i just wanted my mammoth to clock up its first kill.
A few systems later i had made a tidy sum on all the ore and ice i had stollen from unresponsive miners and had resieved 2 death threats :lol: The system i was now in was another 0.8 and in the first belt i come to i found a ferox and a Catalist i swooped in again as the two targeted me and filled my hold with the precious minerals.
A few seconds past and the ferox started blasting asteroids with missiles, this was either a noobish mistake or a warning shot so i diparted swiftly but once at the station i thought what the hell why not give it ago.
I warped back in on the ferrox who istantly opened fire and released his drones.
I saw his drones as the biggest threat and locked them down with my webber and started poping them one at a time whilst closing in on the
ferox, at this point the catalyst warped out.
Once i had dealt with his drones i went in for the slow and painful kill i was easily tanking his damage and my neutraliser was ovously taking its tole because his sheilds started to buckle, Que the untimely arrival of
the local npcs that oviously saw my killer mammoth
as the biggest threat.
My tank started to fail under the assault from the new arivals so i warped out to the station straight into the catalyst pilot now in a Merlin, I went for him like any nutter in an industrial would, and slowly and painfully i began to kill him.
Instead of orbiting he flew in a straight line away from the station but because of my webber he wasnt getting anywhere fast, just as i had got him to structure the ferox pilot undocks after removing all his mining lazers for the stuff that hurts.
The merlin had been flying in a straight line from the station so i had time to finnish him before the ferox could warp scramble me.
This is where i mucked up.
I had warped sucksefully away from the ferox and i should have realy called it a day but my ego demanded i return for the ore.
I tanked the npcs as i went towards the can but surprise surprise the ferox warps in ontop of me, shortly followed by the Catalyst pilot.
Again i take a pownding and at one point i had chance to escape but wasnt alighned and didnt enter warp, i lasted alot
longer then i expected but alas i was doomed.
I relise this is hardly a killing sprew and i probably only made a couple mill profit but it was realy fun.

Just a question/comment about your setup...
Doesn't the neutralizer absolutely kill your CAP in a short while? Generally I find that since battle haulers don't kill that fast, I'm having a challenge keeping gun/web/scram/jammers up and running at the same time without running out of CAP. If I need to activate the repper, I usually need to shut down a jammer..

We're not doing this for profit 
Ye this setup wasnt great as you say the cap is the main problem it dies the instant you turn the multispec jammers on. So a Nosferatu would have probably been better im also thinking of changing the multispecs for some other EW, with my skills i didnt manage to jam a single target and i even tried to jam a rat without sucksess. Any suggestions would be appreciated because i think ill try again sometime.
