i was drawn to not this system but a nearby because i the map showed many ship losses in the last hour. equipped with salvagers i was on my way. i stopped in loes because i thought it had a funny name:
Gindar > shop at loes
Okura's > shop for what? ;-)
Gindar > all your hardware needs
just then, about 7 haulers jumped in. some of them warped to a station. the rest just decloaked and started floating around like stainless steel balloons. some of them had suspicious names.
Gindar > whats with the macros
Okura's > dont know, haulers all
Okura's > shoot them
Gindar > freaky
at the same time i was thinking, "wait a minute, haulers in lowsec?! this is not right!" and apparently not! the place seemed to be a haven for mission runners, some of which couldn't speak english.
Gindar > this place needs more pirates
at this point about 4 haulers targetted me and 1 of them convo'd. i accepted.
cptbeaver > hi
Gindar > sup
cptbeaver > go
Gindar > go where?
cptbeaver > loes 3
Gindar > why are there so many haulers and macro names
cptbeaver > why
Gindar > yeah. how come?
cptbeaver > you
i just couldn't shake the feeling that this guy was using a translator. i warped to the said station to find out more. there i found a brutix just outside station. i tried to scare him by targetting him and mwd'ing around him, but he just warped to somewhere in deadspace. then a dominix undocked. he had an english sounding name, so i thought maybe i'd ask him what's going on.
missbort > WHAT？
Gindar > hi, sorry to bother you
Gindar > what the heck is going on with this system?
Gindar > no one speaks english
missbort > I DONęT KONW
bewildered and frightened i closed the convo. at this point i put in my pipe and donned my sherlock holmes hat. i warped to the other station and docked, hoping to find the answer to the riddle. and there it was, the source of all the strangeness.
Loes 5 Moon 19 Roden Shipyards
Level 4 Quality 20 Distribution Agents. FIVE of them.
overwhelmed by an alice in wonderland feeling, and in awe at the total void of piracy in the area, i cringed as i watched hauler after hauler warp in and out freely, and dominix's and cruisers warping in and out of mission deadspace.

Always makes me laugh going through loes. you have to resist the urge to shoot them cos all that's in them in pointless junk for courier missions. always funny to see tho.

We used to pirate there, but the macro haulers just made it too much effort to keep track of targets when there's like 15 of them jumping in and out of the systems none stop if your close to loes.

I scooped about 10 bodies in front of one of the two station in the morning and I'm pretty sure they'll be there in fresh clones and fresh ships when I get back there.
One single successful courrier mission pay enough for a new hauler and new clone, they get ganked a lot but not 23/7 so the venture is still very profitable for them.

loes...sounds familiar, i believe i sat on gate killing dozens of them, getting loot from t2 expanders to civi gear...all macro sounding names
they fought back once with a sniping raven..once that was popped they just hauled again
it kind of freaked me out a bit...like a cult doing a mass suicide/martyrdom thing

How do you intend to keep the 8 smartbombs running ? They are cap gluttons , I couldn't manage to sustain even 4...

You're not supposed to, its a setup for a hisec suicide bombageddon. the idea's to inflict a massive amount of damage to take down macro miners before CONCORD comes in and waggles their fingers at you and calls you a naughty boy and spanks you for it.

I still to this day believe most of those haulers are under the control of 2 or 3 people macro-hauling. I've even petitioned it :/
Figured I'd just gate camp there all day.... Kinda boring..

BS/HAC with correct setup should be able to tank gate/station indefinately given the right setup.
It is however an exercise in futility, it's a waste of sec status killing those clowns. The just keep coming back and you get f all for it.

Thought so - but it's a group of lowsec systems we're talking about , only need to tank sentries here.

Um. Lem'me get this straight: there's tons of macro guys just flying around in crap haulers all the time? /me sets autopilot... 
Seriously, sounds like gate camping time. Normally I don't like to gate camp, but if there's that much traffic, and it's going to **** off mission runners, I'm all over it.
Because I said so...

Even better, it's a system that you can **** off MACRO mission runners, and leave the honest carebears to do their thing.
The integrity of the game is harmed every time one of these bots makes an isk. At least the bears are making their living honestly.

Janks has wondered when the rest of you folks would discover the woes of loes.
It's very, very, very difficult to go through loes and leave the haulers alone!

This kinda indicates that they are not using macros. As a macro would warp them to the station.
Anyway, if you kill them while they are carrying the mission tat then they will fail the mission and lose standing with the corp. Eventually they won't be able to use the level 4 agent. That might be a way of fighting them.

Is the mission automatically failed if the cargo is destroyed ? Otherwise , they can just take mission objectives from their stock and finish them anyway...

yes and no, if they quit one mission every 4 hours they dont lose standing. however if you can force them to quit one before that time then yes it could work.

It'd be an interesting party if we got every pirate corp that we could together to go wipe out that system. I can see it now, the haulers all get destroyed and suddenly there aren't any targets left. Then pirates do the only thing they're good at: Drink a bunch of rum and start shooting each other. It'd at least scare the macro'ers into thinking maybe thier system is gonna be the new hang out spot.
