Yakia TovilToba Halliburton Inc.	Posted - 2007.11.22 14:11:00 - [1] I've recently seen pirates scanning CNRs in front of a popular missionrunner hub, where a lot of CNR dock and undock 24/7. To what i found out, they checked the fittings, in order to see who has expensive gear and may qualify for a suicide ganking run. I've been thinking about this for a while: If the pirates know what hardeners the CNR use, it must be much easier to kill it than a freighter. For example they often use kinetik/thermal on their shieldtanks against guristas so they have 0 resistnace in EM - an easy prey for a gang of few suicide domis/torpravens that can chose damagetype. On the other hand it might be hard to catch them, i think it only works if you get them at a gate or probe them and give them a visit in their mission deadspacespot, means a lot of work and patience is required. What do you think, how expensive must the CNR fitting be, to make it worth chasing ? An old pirate told me something of 3-4 billion, sounds like a reasonable number, but maybe some pirates with more experiance on this issue have some better info ? And how many ships would it take to bring down a CNR with gist tank, before concord kills the attackers, if the right damagetype is chosen ?
Darkopteron Fatalix Inc. THORN Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.22 14:24:00 - [2] Your typical CNR mission runner pilot is usually fresh out of WoW and wants to be "uber" by buying loads of faction/officer mods. I'm guessing a small group of T1 domi's and gankgeddons should do the trick, the sec status of the system affects the concord response, which determines how many ships you'll need to use to get the job done - you'll have to experiment at first. Tier 1 BS only cost a few mil to replace so really if you scan anything with more than a couple of valuable mods (expect some to go pop), it is worth attempting to gank.
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum The Church.	Posted - 2007.11.22 14:30:00 - [3] I honestly doubt they where looking to suicide gank the CNR. More likely is that they where looking to pull a 'Lofty'. Beware: I'm a "viscous pirate"!
Yakia TovilToba Halliburton Inc.	Posted - 2007.11.22 15:03:00 - [4] Ok maybe they are trying the "Lofty", although i think most of the missionrunners, that play long enough to have enough isk for expensive stuff, know the "Lofty" and won't gang anyone. I just wonder why aren't there more threads on this issue, whenever i read about suicide ganking it's usually freighter pilots. But isn't it much easier and more profitable to suicide-gank CNRs (or pimped missionrunner ships of other races) ? If you take a few domis for example, drones+blaster+1-2 neuts each domi, this will suck the CNR almost instantly empty of cap, means all that shiny gist stuff and that faction/officer hardeners don't work anymore and you have left only a few thousands of hp with only natural resistances .. not very hard to kill - why isn't this done more often ?
Ki An Gallente Filiolus Of Bellum The Church.	Posted - 2007.11.22 15:07:00 - [5] I think it mostly has to do with the fact that few CNR are all officer fitted, and those few items that make the kill worthwhile has a good chance of popping. With freighters and haulers, usually we are talking huge amounts of items, all of which will not pop. Combine that with the fact that suiciding a CNR takes a substansial effort (perhaps not as big as a freighter gank, but still) and you will find that it's just not cost effective. Beware: I'm a "viscous pirate"!
Ash Solar	Posted - 2007.11.22 15:28:00 - [6] freighters got a lot of hit points, but a navy raven with all it's lights flashing probably has more effective HP, for sure I think saila/motsu is like 0.86 or something? concord will arrive kinda fast (meaning you have to use ever more suicide ships), unlike a freighter gank in 0.5 where concord takes ages. a swarm of arty thrashers could put out battleship sized damage though....1.4/.5k alpha per on thermal damage using phased plasma, if they got two rounds off each that'd be interesting if the thermal damage was not tanked.

There is a more sneaky way of taking out a CNR in high sec without throwing a whole bunch of suicide ships at it Lets just say that a Raven is cap reliant, and for example if it was in a mission taking full aggro, when it suddenly had its cap nuked...it may be in a spot of bother This plan involves some other ships that don't get popped, but I'll leave it up to your imagination as to what they do [04:58:57] Azzloran > ever heard of a drake? you wont like them when they decloak on you
Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.11.23 03:43:00 - [12] This thread kinda scares me. My CNR's only worth about 1.6 bill, but would any of you consider having a go at me? Despite everyone telling me I'm a lunatic, I always fit a large cap injector(With cap safeguard rigs, of course), Damage control and an omnitank. And you guys are the reason why! I know you're out there, secretly scanning me! One day, there might be a gang of greedy folks out there who miscalculate my ship's worth and have a go at me! When that happens, I'll be ready.

Silent Killa Caldari Macrominer Waste Management United Corporations Against Macros	Posted - 2007.11.23 05:26:00 - [13] CNRs are easy to kill once you go in their mission and steal their loot Zero cost and lots of nice loot We killed atleast 6 or 7 in the past month like that + oodles of regular ravens some being nicely fit. http://macrointel.kicks-ass.org/ http://macrointel.eve-kb.org/
Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.11.23 07:31:00 - [14] I'm calling you on that. You did not gank "6 or 7" CNRs "in the past month" that way. There are many, many stupid people in eve, but doubt you had that kind of luck. I think you probably got 1 or 2 braindead CNR pilots to agro you, at most. C'mon, don't inflate the numbers.

Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.11.23 09:26:00 - [20] Oh, haha, gotcha. With all these Ravens and CNRs that get cap-nuked then popped, how many of them are cap-injected, I wonder? Could you neutralize my cap if I had a large injector pumping up my cap with 800s? I think it would be near impossible.

I think it would be near impossible. Very few mission running ravens are injected, they use cap rechargers. PVP fitted raven is completely different yes. You can always use a ship scanner to be sure [04:58:57] Azzloran > ever heard of a drake? you wont like them when they decloak on you
murrue PARABELUM-Project	Posted - 2007.11.23 11:18:00 - [22] Can flag in mission doesn't often work, most of them just warp out and cancel it. But, you can also try to get KR on them: sometimes, we have isk farmers who come in your low-sec and flag on everything, and we just let them pop us in T1 frigs :) My ceo managed to catch 5 or 6 raven/cnr in 1 week with this. Or at last, you can just wait for them to come in low sec for missioning : 4 months noob cnr 1.5B loot, like gist C XL

You can always use a ship scanner to be sure Hey now, this is a sheep you're talking to, not a wolf. I'm not gonna go scan down folks in their CNRs so I can take them out with my....CNR. It's just not cost effective. I was just asking so I could confirm that I'm nearly ungankable in my CNR. So Nananana! When I pvp, I do it in ships of MY choosing!

It's not about if he tanks you though to be fair, it's about how long you have until CONCORD arrives on grid. Once that has happened anyone that opens fire from that point will get their one-volley then face instagib. The only way, without some kind of flagging, therefore, is to kill it before being killed. You don't need as many ships as we used for it, that's just who was online and what we had with us at the time. Xaeon Chapter VIII 14/11/07

So Nananana! When I pvp, I do it in ships of MY choosing! Nothing is ungankable...if that is even a word It's a question of how much the ship might drop in loot, divided by the number of ships need to break the tank multiplied by beer(squared) For example, this crazy fitting was killed in low sec. The cap recharger's on that are meant for motherships and worth around 2bil each. Total fittings on that is around 20bil Now THAT is the sort of insane fitting that is going to attract the attention of ship scanners from 5 regions out. PS..I don't suicide gank. It took me a LONG time to grind back up from -10 sec status. , and I don't plan on lowering it [04:58:57] Azzloran > ever heard of a drake? you wont like them when they decloak on you

Dubious Drewski	Posted - 2007.11.24 00:03:00 - [28] Originally by: Flinx Evenstar Nothing is ungankable...if that is even a word I am almost ungankable. I am taking my own common sense into consideration(Don't go to low sec with it, don't fall for aggro-bait while flying it, etc), as well as my ship's "low" isk worth and its very strong anti-gank setup. I will not be ganked. Originally by: Flinx Evenstar For example, this crazy fitting was killed in low sec. The cap recharger's on that are meant for motherships and worth around 2bil each. Total fittings on that is around 20bil A 20bill Drake?? My jaw is stuck open! What the flying hell was he doing with PDSs, cap rechargers and T1 light Drones on a Drake? He likely had no support skills, no fitting knowledge and is a fine example of the consequences of buying isk. 20 bill isk is like a few hundred real dollars, isn't it? Geez!

System sec status has only a small concord respond time effect. A much bigger effect is the security statues of the raven pilot. If someone has a sec. rating of 1 you might have luck, but against someone with 5: no chance, concord will show up very very fast and keal the pairats before they can keal the carebear raven.
