Time-out from Wormhole Space

I have been a bit busy in RL recently and haven’t been able to endulge in flying space ships round as much. I do have blog pack on my iGoogle though and catch up with various blogs as much as I can.
Today my favorite was http://evewarrior.com/archives/irritation. He started me thinking. At the moment MNEE has just folded up camp in the class 4 that kept us in sleeper loot for the last two months with the intention of moving to a deeper class 5 with a static class 6 connection. As a result we are in high sec with some time on our hands.
The word in Eve Warriors blog that got me thinking was ‘passive targeting’. I wouldn’t mind picking some fights with some can flippers. This is my plan.
Carraig sits in a belt in a retriever kitted out with a warp scrambler, passive targeting and mining strip. She jet mines into a can dropped by Slay who sits in a Brutix off grid. As soon as some one bites Carraig scrambles and Slay warps in. If a flipper shoots Carraig then Concord should arrive to help as Carraig has rights over the flipper but the flipper has no rights over Carraig.
Hmm, this might be a bit of fun. Carriag needs to learn about Propulsion Jamming then it is a matter of fitting out a retriever with warp scrambler and plates or maybe better, an Exequror as it can fit plates, 4 mining lasers, passive targeting, warp scrambler and afterburner for when they try to run away. I think I’ll take some ECM drones with me should the flipper try to shoot me.
Slay’s Brutix will be set up as a glass cannon, what other way would you fly it? Only thing missing now is a border system near some low sec pirate haven with some roids to shoot at.
