Aside from that most other stuff will only attract an apropriatly overkill response
Worms and garms just aren't worth the hassle for the 90% afterburning, scram range fighting pirates out there
Don't expect there to be no exception to the rule though Thanks - appreciate the direct answer. Is that mostly due to the Drone damage boost on the Worm? Have to admit, that is pretty attractive... It seems to me that for your purpose you do not need a heavy tank or lots of DPS, you just want to be somewhat safer to do what you are doing. I highly recommend Celestis or Blackbird. The ships + fits are going to be actually a ton cheaper then the above mentioned frigate hulls alone. You will have enough DPS and tank to deal with any NPC rats without using any DPS mods whatsoever, and if someone does warp in on you even if its 2 ships, you can just crap on them and warp off. You won't be able to kill them because you can't break their tank with ECM stuff fitted, but they can do next to nothing to you either, and most importantly, you'll break their webs and scrams. With a decent fit I do -126% to someones range on 2 ships in a celestis, this is not on maxxed skills (just barely enough for T2 dampeners, all else is lvl 3-4 ish), so even if they have counter skills they still can't target and on the Blackbird with sensor booster and auto targeting, you won't even have to worry about getting jammed yourself. Celestis is a bit harder to fit with those, you'll have to sacrifice 1 dampener (so you can effectively jam 1 and a half ships, or 3 ships to below half their range), but you get way more utility out of it cause more drones and low slots. And for runnign sites utility is pretty important. Make sure you're running an Auto Targeting System (T1 will do, go with lowest cap drain) in high slot, and a Sensor Booster with Scan Resolution script in one mid slot, again, a T1 will do, go for lowest cap drain. Use AB, don't use MWD as that will give you around -20 to -25% cap depending which one you fit. If you want to splurge a bit, go for fed Navy AB (low cap drain + mad overheat bonus) and T2 mods, instead of T1. Now, if multiple ships warp in on you (more then 2) then you're screwed either way, and if they have scouted you and went to go get a counter fit for it, then chances are good for them, but if they do that, chances are also good that you'll be done with your business there and gone by time they come back. And T1 cruisers are cheap, so no biggie if you lose one. Hope this helps.

Most pirates fear boredom, a.k.a. not getting fights.
Also many pirates will be wary of other pirates. Especially ones associated with bigger groups than them, a very nice killboard history and a habit of flying cyno-tackle T3 cruisers. |

Nah. I fear none of the above. It just isn't worth my time to jump in on a worm or garm.

Most of all we fear being threatened with the wrath of your Powerful Friends in Nullsec. That gets us peeing our pants every time.
We also fear being attacked by a powerful PVE fit battleship. As pirates, we are poor, and nothing we have could possibly take on, oh say, a nice faction fit mission running Nightmare. We would get annihilated so fast you wouldn't even need to fit a warp scrambler.

They fear not having ships to shoot at.
If you bring a ship, they'll fight it. Or if they're somehow outmatched, they'll hold you while they call for friends to help them kill you.
Solo, you won't stand a chance against pirates, because they work together. |

That's kinda a given in. Eve. Bring friends or learn to multibox.
It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.

The only thing a pirate fears......
..........is getting bounced by a bigger fleet than his.
What? You think pirates fly solo anymore?
MADNESS.
*flies solo*
Everything in EVE is a trap.
And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
