What is the minimum spec to solo suicide gank a hulk before getting concorded?

Asked by

I operate in a 0.5 system with a lot of macro miners. Thought about thinning them out a bit, especially since they mine away all the good minerals. I was thinking of training an alt for a brutix for solo suicide ganking, but am unsure of the best ship and best fits to not make it too expensive.

The Brutix is actually a very good ship to use for ganking. Gank Example

You really wouldn't need the MWD, web or Sebo if you're sure its a macro miner. Scrap the armor mods as well. Obviously your gonna want to use the cheapest gear possible but at the same time deal a lot of damage. Maybe go for faction ammo (caldari navy anti matter) if you want but I wouldn't recommend loading in no more than 5-10 rounds per turret. Make sure you get plat insurance as well so you will get something back from your loss. Also be sure to stack your turrets and overload them before even attempting to fire. Hope this helps.

you may not need to, some of the macro miners around me clearly have command lines to warp to a safe spot or log off entirely if a BS or combat ship lands in belt with them, although this is in low sec not hi-sec so maybe they think they are safe!

May be worth warping yourself in a BS and see what happens first.... if it works all i do now is have a combat ship sitting in the belt with me when I mine.

Couple of buddies of mine ganked 2 different hulks in a .5 system a few days ago, 4 of us all meta 1 fit destroyers (cost about 1m each, so 4m to kill the hulks). The hulks actually had decent tanks on them, t2 invuln fields and one of them had 2 t2 small boosters, but for some reason neither of them turned them on.^^ if they had we wouldnt have killed them. moral of the story: if your lucky, you dont need much dps.

I concur. The Brutix has some balls. Hulkageddon tends to rely on numbers rather than individual DPS, so they'll attack with 10 dessies.

Being a 1 man band tends to restrict that a bit for you.

Oh, and think about using an Alt, or your personal standing might take a battering.

There are guides out there, the links to which I have forgotten. However, essentially, you can solo gank a hulk in a .5 with the best dps battlecruiser available to you. Brutix is best, Hurricane can do the job.

The only thing that might not be readily obvious is Thermodynamics. Overheating your guns is key in a battlecruiser.
