QuillmonkeyIf I read this right, your mission is to grief the griefers, right?
I have no problem with griefers. Most of my friends in the game are gankers who at some point tried to kill me.
My mission is to become good at playing the interdiction mini game, so that I can do what Dangerous.com did last night: evade without submitting.
And I believe the only way to get there is to play that game as much as possible, not with NPCs but with other players, preferably experienced ones, at the risk of getting destroyed by them. So I think the benefit is mutual: I get my interdiction training, and they get to try their luck at shooting a very nimble ship. It's fun, and no harm is done to anyone.

Episparh@Amata Whyte is dead!
I wouldn't be so sure about that tbh, as the last time he was seen in public he was on his private ship already. So unless they present his corpse I'd take that with a grain of salt

I wouldn't bet on that. This moron was a distraction and of a minor importance.

Not sure you're being entirely honest there...
SakashiroSince most gankers seem to realize the futility of interdicting a Courier, I feel that I need to become more proactive in my approach. So in order to take my ganker trolling career to the next level, I'm considering this ultra fast Courier build for hit & run jobs. Your thoughts?
SakashiroNo weapons. That build has a single purpose: to pull ships out of supercruise and be annoying. Nothing else.
SakashiroQuestion: If I do decide to equip weapons, what would be the most irritating ones I could put on a ship like that?
SakashiroReady to (t)roll.

Conspiracy theorists give me a headache in RL already, so this better leads up to something good

DanteUniversalMining Lance is worth it?
As opposed to what? If you've obtained every other PP module available then subscribing to Rotting Skull Clan for a month is probably worth it just for the memes?
The usefulness of the Lance though: it's Class 1 so unless you're putting it on a sidewinder you're hurting your mining rate. The damage it does is probably just enough to annoy but not really useful considering you can't even engineer it. There is a niche use for it on say an exploration ship that would help with speculative mining for materials with its extended 2km range and that's about it.
