I joined the Snigglets (Sniggwaffe) last week looking for a bit of piracy action. Thought it would relieve stress and so on.
Oh how wrong I was. Its endlessly infuriating wen someone manages to warp away even though me and a gang mate have stacked a pair of 2 point scrams on them.

Excessive Stabs for the lose.
And on a random note, the Arbitrator does not make a very good pirating ship, expecially against missile users.

Think I'll replace it with a Brutix or Rupture.

Concerning isk farmers, if i jet a can next to theres and move stuff from there can to mine will i get flagged ? I always assumed i would be
In another thread it was commented that you move it to your can and then hope they try and move it back to there cargohold as that would get them flagged ?
Right, what you want to do is...
1) Jet your can beside theirs. Just jet out one unit of Trit or something.
2) The miner wont touch this, as its not worth him being flagged for 15mins to you
3) Note where the nearest planet is. Align yourself so that your ship is in font of your can, and the planets centre shows as being begind the can.
4) Fly 15 km away from your can, keeping the planets centre lined up with the centre of the can and also your ship. (Basiclly Planet ---> Can ---> Ship 15 km onward)
5) Dump a Bookmark at this location.
7) Fly back to your can. Transfer all the minerals from the miners can into your can. He'll probably start smacktalking at this point, if hes not a macro miner. Who cares, do it anyway.
8) Warp to the nearest Planet (the one you used for placing the bookmark)
9) The Miner will 80% of the time think you've gone to get a hauler to steal his minerals.
10) Once you are out of warp, double left click off to one side of the belt that you just came from, so that you are moving toward t at full sub-warp speed.
11) Open Scanner. Set angle to 30*. Point your screen direcly at the belt you are now flying towards.
12) Keep scanning.
13) The Instant your can dissappears from the scanner, warp to the bookmark you made in that belt.
14) In warp, activate your Warp scram so its blinking on and off and you get the targeting cursor. Active your high slots too, you may as well.
15) Once out of warp, there
will be someone there flashing red.
16) Click on them. Your ship will automatically target, lock, and active all modules you turned on.
17) Kill or ransom as you wish, with impunity. You'll even get away with it in high sec systems, seeing as they stole from your can. They cant even get any backup to stop you, as their backup will be concordokened.
18) Prepare for hatemail. This is the best part.
Note: I no longer do this personally, as it is against my corp rules, and pretty lame. But then again, when I was new, it was endless fun watching the miners realise they made a very silly mistake. You might got good loot if you get to pop a mining barge, those strip miners sell for a million each. Try ransoming first though, as there is a chance the lot will be destroyed.
