So here is the deal: after receiving a simply idiotic threat the other day (see the Death Threats-thread) I received a gang invite from some nameless noob which I naturally refused.
Now he¦s been trailing me ever since 
Now im not the type to step aside for scum like carebears so I wanna make him eat my blaster fudge.
Now I am asking, can a Thorax tackle a Cerberus?
This guy is trailing me everywhere I go and its quite annoying.
Id like to have a go at him, but Id like to hear your views on my chances.
Here is an impression of my setup:
HIGHS: 2x Anode particle Cannon w/ Antimatter charges(medium)
2x Medium named NOS
1x Small named NOS
MIDS: 10mn AB
Named Warp scrambler (can be swapped for this battle)
Named Webber (can be swapped for this battle)
LOWS: 1x Medium named Repper
1x Small named Repper
2x EANM
1x 800mm plate.
Drones: 5x hammerheads (can upgrade em to T2 in a day if needed)
Let me know!!
Oh and btw: Yarr. 
EDIT: after checking out the potential weak spots of the Cerberus I intend to use 2 drone types:
For the destruction of hisshields - Infiltrators
After the shields go down - Valkeries.
IIRC these chip away at the weakest spots of the Cerberus defense.
If needed I can attempt to swap ammo to speed up the process.

I see.
Is there a way to jam the Cerberus¦ launchers ?
And is it possible to get within a certain range to reduce impact effectiveness of the missiles?

Hm I dont want to see this as a clash of the 'retarded' titans - simply as a 1v1 between a 12 day old and a 13 months old player aka Cruiser versus HAC.
I simply am bold enough to take him on knowing I might lose my ship to this warbeast Cerberus, but I wont step aside for a 1 year old player who flew a Osprey cruiser fitted with 2 civilian shield boosters, 3 miner 2's and a miner 1.
Ill take my chances and see how far I can get.
I might just get lucky...otherwise I lose a few pennies tops.

Absolutely fantastic to see this much input!
I figured id try a big Kinetic defense setup in combination with drones like i previously listed.
The NOS does seem like a good plan anyway since draining his power probably is my best bet.
Luckily my own resist are above moderate if I stack up on Kin hardeners and I can swap my web/scram for more efficient modules since i dont expect him to run.
Ill try it soon when I cross his path again.

I understand my chances are below zero, but I feel the need to try.
His mining cruisers were so patheticaly fitted I can hardly believe he has a uber setup in his HAC.
Civilian shield boosters x2, miner IIs mixed with miner Is and absolutely nothing else (!) on a Osprey and hardly more on a Exequror makes me believe I have at least a chance to suprise him with a retaliation that i can uphold for a minute or 2 - perhaps more.
Like I said again: im not even worried about losing the ISK spent on a Thorax - I just feel the need to test my mettle vs a player who is older than a year compared to my 12 day old pirate.
If i manage to deplete his shields my point is made.
Some call it stupid, others might call it bold.
I myself see it as a test to see exactly what I might be capabale of when engaging a beast in the hands of a quasi-ok pilot.

you wont be able to hold 10 medium drones in a rax
I never said i¦d bring 5 of each.
Originally by: Gonada
the irony of the OP calling some guy in a better ship than him, trailing him for the opportunity to kill him a carebear is pretty funny 
Does a ship-type determine wether or not someone is a carebear? Imo its the playstyle and behaviour that determines that.
As you might have read earlier (assuming you took the time to read the entire thread) he was flying 2 cruisers fitted utterly pathetic for someone who is nearly 13 months old and who was behaving very childish when it comes to accepting the loss of his boats in low sec (see the death-threats thread for my entry).
That makes me feel this guy is as carebearish as they can get.
If he has the funds to fly a cerberus - let alone the skill - why does this person even weep for losing 2 ships costing 5 mill each and both fitted with setups that LITERALLY arent worth more than 1.5 mill each?
THATS ironic if you ask me.

lots of chatter
Hm it seems you have reading troubles.
I do not cry about this, i actually enjoyed my kills like any pirate would.
Further more, Ospreys CAN easily fit better setups costing practically nothing.
And yes, I can deal with the consequences of my actions.
Im not asking anyone to go kill them for me right?
Im asking for a setup to have some more fun with this goon.
And honestly, a wardec doesnt bother me for a second, I will never reroll for such a pathetic loss and I will never surrender to anything but my bed.
in other words, your assumptions arent any better than mine even if i would be mistaken in him.

Most Cerbs I've seen are packing an insane passive tank, but they are most vulnerable to EMP. NOS will not have an effect on a passive setup unless he has a single EM hardener, in which case you need A LOT of NOS to do you any good.
1. Don't worry about stealing his cap.
2. Do as much EM damage as possible.
With those points in mind, the wierd Autocannon setup is actually a very sound one. EMP ammo is simply devastating. Medium EMP drones will likewise take a sizeable chunk out of him. The fact that it also does significant Explosive damage will be nice one you reach his armor, which he will not likely be tanking with.
3. Take as little damage as possible.
The key against missiles is to move as fast as possible - the faster your ship, the larger velocity penalty his missiles will take. MWD is essential - get the best you can buy. A 1600mm plate doesn't reduce the damage you take, but adds a significant HP buffer. Inertia stabs are a good idea, too. The best MAR you can buy is a good bet, too. Damage control (again, best you can buy) so you can keep fighting even in structure (because you're in for the whole nine yards!) and a gryo to make up for the lack of projectile bonuses by adding dmg and RoF.
4. Don't let that bastard get away.
5. Try and buy yourself some time.
HAC owners will run when they sense big trouble - no one wants to lose a ship that costly! Scramble his ship. Once scrambled, jam his brains out. Racial jammer. Let him have it. If you can jam a cycle or two, you've just done wonders for your survivability and bought yourself some rep time. With the autocannons blazing, you'll be saving cap, so let 'er rip.
6. Insurance and clone.
7. A lot of luck.
Things don't always work out the way you hope.
Thank you thank you. This is probably the most valuable inpu ive had in this thread.
Honestly I know im mince meat, but its to see how great of a annoyance i can manage to be.
Ill need foul trickery, cunning and the maximum I can push out of this ship with my modest skillset as possible.
Thanks to all of you for the constructive an informative posts, ive accumulated plenty of info to make my attempt on him.
