So, long time empire space carebear here with a story of death and destruction (the best kind!). I've been keeping up with this thread for a while and felt like casuing a bit of mayhem so I went out an bought 5 thrashers and got to work!
Day 1- A good start
So, being the cautious type I decided to start off my career as a HS pirate by using thrashers to gank frigates with high value modules, the primary target being Covert Ops ships with Sisters probe launchers (40mil) which isn't bad considering each thrasher only cost 10 mil (probably slightly more than necessary as I used mostly T2 equipment).
So my alt starts roaming around Gallente space armed with a ship-scanner looking for targets. Just before DT I jump a gate and find a Cheetah sitting on the other side at 0. Ship scan reveals a Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher so I switch over to this Char (a couple of jumps away) and start burning there. I arrive on the gate with all mods hot, lock, two volleys later BOOM!

My alt swoops in to loot and salvage both wrecks, I don't have a cargo scanner so I got a rather pleasent surprise . That whole drop payed for all of my Thrashers 2 times over.
Anyway I waited out my GCC and agression over DT and went back to base for another Thrasher.
A couple of systems later my alt scans an Imicus on the small chance that it would have an expensive mod fit, the scan turns up a Sisters Core Probe Launcher. This guy was aligning away from the gate while he was scanning, so I had my alt orbit him closely and then warped in my Thrasher to my alt at 30km from the celestial he was aligning to. BOOM!

Needless to say the loot drop was dissapointing, but it was bound to happen. So having some rather angry people with kill-rights on me I decided to stake out new territory and head out to minmatar space. A little while later I found an Anathema sitting 15km off a gate, scan revealed a Sisters Core Probe Launcher so...

Another dissapointing loot drop, but at least I got to teach someone that a WCstab isn't much use againt a scram. Thats it for day 1, I signed off with 2 Thrashers left and a taste for blood!.
Day 2- Blood!
I got off to a bad start on day 2, hunted for ages but could only find cheaply fit covops on celestials. All the expensive ones were being sensible and cloaking/scanning from a safe. After a while of roaming I just happened to scan a Manticore that appeared to be AFK 15km from a gate. Scan revealed a shield boost amp but no booster so I re-scanned and found he had a Gistii A-type Small Shield Booster fitted (200mil). After quickly pulling up a Manticore in Pyfa to confirm that I could kill it and checking for shield boost/hardener effects (there were none) I warped the Thrasher in and killed it in 3 volleys.

OMG 316 mil Manticore! The shield booster didn't drop, but I got enough to more than cover the thrasher. Also: Light missile launchers? T2 cap and shield rigs?
Spent a long time searching, and almost ganked a Helios with a Gistii B-Type 1mn afterburner (15 mil) out of sheer boredom but persevered anyway. Eventually my alt spotted a Buzzard on D-scan, while trying to marrow it down, the buzzard landed on the gate and jumped. My alt jumped with it and he warped to the Sun. My alt landed with him and a quick scan revealed a Sisters Core Probe Launcher, so I warped in the Thrasher.

Hurray! 66 mil in loot.
So that concludes my first attempt at suicide ganking, a few disapointments but a little over 200mil in drops (not including loot dropped from the Thrashers or salvage) and a good laugh at that Manticore fit.
Thanks for listening o7
