Ok I am wondering What would be the best high sec mission ganking/baiting to gank boat would be. I can use mainly Amarr but have some caldari in the mix. I want to be able to scan down mission runners and try and get aggression so I can pew, can I do this in a scorp (Or Other Hull) as a single package? or would I need a alt in a scanner and main in deeeps boat?
I was thinking Scorp as I can use diff dmg types for diff situations and Jam, but not thinking that lossing a launcher for a scan probe would work or even if that would fit.
So I am asking if anyone has any fits for this activity? Thanks in advance

Armageddon with T2 ogres and mega pulse lasers would be your best bet. Might be hard to kill a mission runner before concord gets you tho. Wait until you find a ship that is tanking explosive and kinetic so you have the best chance of killing them. |

This is why Eve has barely any subs as it is. Have fun following around mission runners who don't give 2 ***** if you are there or not. |

You won't need an alt, that defeats the purpose. You'll need to be in a small, non threatening yet viable ship to initially gain aggro. No mission runner is gonna shoot you if show up armed to the teeth in a geddon and loot his stuff.
Once you get the aggro, you can use a geddon to finish him off.
imo its boring as hell to do this. Most will know the tactic and will ignore you. Only a very few will be dumb enough to aggro you and stay there. You can get better options can flipping.

Typhoon works really nicely for this: it has a lot of damage between ACs/Torps and drones, and it doesn't really sacrifice a lot to fit three neutralizers. You neut out their barely stable active tank and then apply damage targeting their weaker resist. Piece of cake.
The problem is really about getting aggro and hoping they stay there while you swap ships. CAUTION

I think your ship would depend on where you want to do this.
Consider that other than Angel space most missions only do 2 damage types. So you should choose your damage type with that in mind.
If you want to use Amarr ships I would think Caldari mission hubs would be best because for a few reasons.
The majority of EM dealing enemies are in Amarr, and Minmatar space. In Amarr space EM is the primary resist, in Minmatar space you'll see omni-tanks. T2 Minmatar ships have very high em resists.
Between Gallente and Caldari, Caldari will have lower em/thermal resists.
And finally, Caldari space is the most player dense, so you will find more targets.

Fit 2 Heavy Neuts and drain the cap of their active tanked BS. Then just 500 DPS will do the trick in no time. No need for fancy multi billion ISK ships.
You may get Problems with passive recharge tanks, but at least you can shut off the hardeners. |

What about just alpha/high DPS killing them without getting aggro. I used to mission run and get mighty thin on tank vs the NPCs. Newer people often have to warp out from time to time... if you are there to stop them from warping out, and then start pouring on the DPS (plus the NPCs), you may get them.
Maybe you fleet up with them in a tier 3 BC, offering to give them more DPS, but they need to tank the aggro (ideally its a multi room or spawn mission), aggro the whole room/trigger as many spawns as you can (like a n0ob would do accidentally), and then wait for them to start aligning to warp out, then you aggro them.
Bonus lulz if you can trigger a scramming wave, and get the NPCs to do everything for you.
Or do you want the KB post? |

One day last year, I was on Battleclinic for some reason or other, and noticed the most recent kill was a Tengu. I clicked on it just out of curiosity more than any other reason, and discovered that it was a suicide gank. A little more digging discovered a pattern of suicide ganks against Tengus in mission hubs, mainly Motsu and Dodixie. The two guys doing this were using Artillerypocs, Apocalypse battleships fitted with 8x 1400mm T2 howitzers. With faction ammo, they'd do 11k-13k volley damage depending upon skills and implants. I suspect there were two of these ships teamed, because most killmails only had one but a few had two on it. If the first one popped the ship great, if not the second would finish it off. They seemed to get a lot of 500 million to 1 billion isk loot drops off of them, too. PVP is a question with no single right answer, but a lot of wrong ones. |

I rather suspect that the artypoc has been superceded by the arty Tornado Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Best tactic so far - spam them with eve mails - while they read the mail, you can shoot hell out of them and report them as harrasment becouse they do not want to read your polite mails. Go for it, damn bear carirers .... But on the other hand, it's winter and that's bear inttime time, so ... |

If you mean "get aggressed as you steal their loot, then quickly hop into a different ship to kill the idiot who shot you" then there's a few options. If you have access to gang links (on an orca for instance) then I personally prefer an AC, medium neut, AB, purger tanked Loki. It tanks missile spammers just fine while dealing 700ds and using its neut to kill the active tank. Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

I'm assuming you want to bait-and-gank legally instead of suicide-gank?
If so, then it's hard to beat a (PvP-spec, of course) Armour/brawler Hurricane with 2 neuts in the utility highs, faction ammo loaded against his weakest resist.
I haven't tried it yet myself, but also a HAM/Medium-neut Drake looks like it might work, though you need T II HAM Launchers, a bit of fitting gimp (1 ACR rig + 1 RCU in a low slot, and high fitting-skills to fit the medium neut), and Rage-spec missiles to make up for losing the kinetoc-damage bonus when you switch out damage types.
For kinetics, go after people doing Sansha/Blood/Amarr missions, with secondary against Mercs.
Serpentis, Rogue Drones, Guristas/Caldari-based rats, and Angels will be hard-tanked against Kinetics, or at least have a strong secondary resist to same, so it might be best to use something else there.
Capacitor = life for a PvE ship, once they hear their ship's computer say "The capacitor...is empty." it's usually curtains for the bling-boat.
Sui-ganking? 2-3 Arty Pests, Maelstroms (a bit expensive, but you just can't beat that alpha), or more recently Tornadoes--again loaded to shoot into his weakest resist (look up NPC damage-profiles on Eve Survival, among others, and load accordingly) should make quick work of him--fit target-painters and tracking computers if going for a T3.
Before you start buying ships and mods, though:
Read this.
And this.
E: Whilst you're happily urp-sploding those stupid bling-barges, train your favourite races' cruiser-skill to 5 to open up HACs--and train Battlecruisers to 5. That latter is arguably the most useful ship-skill in the game. Hans Jagerblitzen for CSM 7! (Mittens, you may not want to admit it, but your day in the sun is over. Next!)

Then you shoot the guy but he's omnitanked, you start sweating, instead of 3 you needed 8 arty maels to kill that faction fitted pinata and concord shows up making you rage and look ridiculous.
If you don't scan those ships before engaging them chances you will probably loose more than you'll collect are very high. (loved my 340k ehp Navy mega 70 omni faction fit and the loot in those stupid gankers in Osmon, good old days) |
