Line 38:

The second approach is to use a Hecate with Polarized Light Neutron Blasters. It can put out around 1100-1350 DPS and align in under 2 seconds. If you do not have a 2-second align time and 1100 or more DPS, this will not work. MWD to 0 of the NPC hauler (this only works on T1 haulers), overheat your guns, and warp scramble and fire on it. It should die in around 8-10 seconds. Loot the wreck and dock or tether.

The third approach needs much more effort than the first, but with the proper setup, you can destroy both T1 and T2 haulers. It needs effort and some skill with combat probing. This works best if you are using a relatively fast damage dealer, like a T3D or a [[Gnosis]], equipped with short-range, high damage turret weapons such as blasters or pulse lasers. DO NOT use missiles.

The NPC response fleet should immediately aggress you and begin approaching your ship; if they don't immediately do so, shoot/use an EWAR module on the closest ship. Once you're gotten their attention, immediately warp to your ping bookmark.

Wait until the response fleet has been drawn at least 200 km away from the hauler (300+ if it's a T2 hauler), then warp to the hauler bookmark and shoot it till it dies.

Wait until the response fleet has been drawn at least 200 km away from the hauler (300+ if it's a T2 hauler), then warp to the hauler bookmark and shoot it till it dies. If you have any drones in your drone bay, launch the strongest ones you have and attack the hauler with them as well.

Loot the wreck and leave the area.
