As far as negative/positive status, are they worth attacking or is the status hit a pain? Looks like they just go back and forth from station to about 50km out?
Really looking for the pros and cons of convoy hunting.

I have an alt who hunts them occasionally. You get a collection of trade goods, including items needed for T2 manufacturing. I do it for fun rather than profit.
Convoys assemble a ship at a time. First launches, travels away from station, returns to collect next and so on until all ships are in convoy - 2 - 5 ships usually. They then travel out to a point about 150km (iirc) from station and jump to 150km from destination. They then slow-boat to destination station.
CONCORD don't care about them unless they are CONCORD owned. Other corps station guns only defend their own convoys. That means you can vape a convoy which is arriving at another corps station while CONCORD and the station sentries stand idly by. Just make sure the sending and receiving stations belong to different corps.
I have my alt blast them and my main collect in a hauler - just like any other hi-sec ganker 
Run missions for the corp from time to time to restore standing and "Robert is your mother's brother" 
That help any?

thanks
I did notice them gathering up and subsequently jumping out. I've hit the "show info" button and haven't noticed ownership? What am I missing?
thanks again

Assume that if you see them leaving station A and going to station B, that station A's owner is also the convoy's owner?
Just a guess. :)
if i HAD to guess, that would be my guess too. i suppose i could pew pew convoys coming into stations. its just that sentry guns are soooooo unforgiving. :)

Only way I know, is to know where they come from - easiest is to either follow them, which is time consuming, or pick a system where all the stations belong to different (non-CONCORD) corps.
That help?
every bit of info helps 
im in a system that has like 8 stations, with 4 different corps, none of which is concord
I did notice that the Amarr looking stations throw out bestowers and the caldari looking stations throw out badgers. so if i see bestowers going into "caldari" stations or vice versa, that might be the ticket. (i havent seen that yet though)
this seems to be turning into an obsession
