No cruiser sized ships for me, I ninja salvage in a frigate but if they decide to shoot at me I warp away & come back in a PvP fit Drake. It's making me complacent though, these guys are terrible at PvP.
Be careful man.... keep on the move otherwise they will get you with some friends one day.
Mission runners don't have friends. And if by some miracle they do, they're not going to camp you for days giving up lucrative PvE income. It's a fact.
BTW, when I can build up the intestinal fortutude to grind I do it in the aforementioned domi. I'd have no problems engaging a loot hoover in it since, well, my boat is insured and unrigged and ready to be violenced. With 2 pages of kill rights thanks to ganking miners it's not like I'll risk a real ship to grind standings & sec status. =)

Caldari mission running ships seem to be very vulnerable to EM, since their EM resists are inherently weak and for most missions they don't need to fit EM hardeners.
I was kind of surprised that one of the guys who I popped on Friday evening sent me a friendly message on Sunday asking for advice. Carebears are normally so cranky, it was nice to see that some people at least get the point that EVE is a PvP game.
Yeah, I have people eve-mailing me or messaging me about once a month asking for advise on what to do for PvP after I kill them. I will give them advise on their fits as well as simple strategies to take that are effective. I usually also send them a few million ISK so they can replace their ship (if it was a cheap ship, which if they are asking for advise it usually is).
I do like fighting Drakes in the open, since their tank doesn't do much for them. I hate catching them on a gate, since they can make it back to the gate and jump through if I don't have a blob on my side. One thing I have heard about them is that in PvP Drakes can either die fast or die slow, but either way the results are the same. I prefer to have gank fit HAM drakes in my fleet, as they are usually more useful. A tank fit Drake isn't all that useful, as they can't fit support equipment with shield mods in the mids, and they have next to no DPS. No-one with any brains will primary a drake, so they can't even act as a meat shield.
Which is the #1 reason to forgo both tank and gank and fit entirely for ECM. Nope, I mean NO tank. Not even a suitcase II. Without BCUs the already awful DPS of the drake will be even more pathetic, so your choice of HAM, assault or heavy launchers won't matter much.
Requires a high SP falcon alt behind the wheel but by the time they realize it's not a bait or wet noodle DPS drake your poor man's falcon has half their gang perma-jammed.
If you're engaging regulars with this tactic they will start primarying drakes -- and at that point you can call it mission accomplished.
How does it work? What if you already have an old account?

dunno...I'd prolly start with a new-email addy and start fresh.. i don't think it works with old players
What email do you want it sent to? Feel free to PM it to me, if you don't want to post it here.
EVE reaches it's glory when you have more than 1 account. I think I might open a third now that 2 just doesn't seem to be enough.
Replied.
Sorry I didn't see this post earlier, but it seems like you are all set for now. Let me know if you need help in game, and I will do what I can.
I could use some help. With pent up demand post hulkageddon there are now over 100 in my home system's ice belts (Osmon). The guys two doors down are jetcan mining ice. Mackinaws, hulks, the works. I'm running out of sec status on my ganking alts and simply can't pop any more of them.
I'll handle all the logistics of battleships, weapons & smartbombs -- just need people to show up and asplode those automated bastards 23x7.
I have a sec status of -9.9, but I can pod over and warp to the location and light off smart bombs if you can provide the BS, some I-stabs and SBs. I can handle the rest, even getting the warp in with a Cov Ops.
Actually I could do all of it myself, but I doubt I would take the time to move the ships over there, as I get pretty lazy with this game. I often plan on doing some care-bear activities, but almost always end up just scouting with my alt, and killing targets I find with my main.
Out of all my kills, I only have 1 exhumer kill, so it would help pad my stats against those evil miners. I usually end up shooting at combat ships, since miners are few and far between in my neck of the woods. http://www.nawti.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=39347
You could join our corp. There are a lot of asteroids in our home systems, and they nearly never get mined. I find medium and large Grav sites with the best ores in the game all the time, but since no-one is around that mines them they sit unused until they despawn. You could always come and mine those. I can't say that I will help you, but I have sat around and provided protection for miners once before.
As for an actual mining corp, I am not really sure about that. There were quite a few members of our corp that mined on a regular basis when I started, but they haven't been on in a while. I never see miners around where I live, so I can't even tell you of any other mining corps.

Apparently their CEO (Kartton) disbanded the alliance and sold off assists (Caps and Cap BPO's) to pay for his honey money or something to that effect. From the SA forums it seems he was angry that people blamed him for the losing sov by not paying their "space bills" fiasco so he did the greatest of all "Fuck Goons" move.
