While most null sec residents make their ISK from running anomalies or farming DED complexes, Rionnag Alba have a different approach: Team Jita.

What is Team Jita? Suiciding haulers full of juicy loot, scooping the loot, and pocketing the ISK from selling it. A good kill can net about 1 billion ISK for the ganker although sometimes you’re unlucky like the guy who killed a Kestrel full of PLEXes and not a single one dropped.

I finally decided that it was time to give this a go. It definitely seems like a more fun way of making ISK than regular PvE. I sent Wensley to Amarr and got Grr’k to head over in his Mastodon. With a nice cheap Tempest fitted up and sitting on the undock I began to scan haulers. Before too long I had my first target. Great success! Grr’k was able to scoop the loot and list it on the market in Amarr straight away while Wensley counted down his criminal timer.

Two hundred million ISK better off for almost no effort I quickly bought another Tempest and headed out to have another crack at it. This time I was a bit trigger happy and shot a hauler just carrying some shuttles and COSMOS BPCs. The BPCs didn’t even drop. A third attempt saw me blast a hauler carrying the components to build a Pilgrim and a BPC but this time I was beaten to the scoop by people hanging around outside the Amarr Emperor Family Academy station.

For all of this ganking my wallet was about 100 million higher and my security status much lower. What did I learn? Well, suicide ganking is fun but you need to make sure that your targets are worth it and also that you are ready to scoop the loot before anyone else. If you’re undocking from Amarr in the next few days, watch out for a sensor-boosting Tempest…

Edit: I think I’ve finally got the hang of this.
