~~Switch ammo according~~ to target, if you ~~know what~~ you're ~~doing~~, ~~load different ammo~~ for ~~shield/armor~~. ~~Always use faction ammo~~, and ~~load just enough~~ for a ~~few rounds for each gun - no need~~ to ~~store additional~~ ammo ~~in your cargo as~~ you ~~won~~'~~t get time~~ to ~~reload~~.

Knowing how to gank in the T1 Catalyst above is benefitted by knowing the capabilities of the ship. It an optimal range of 1.4km, and falls off to half damage at approximately 5km at maximum skills. The goal is to get as close as possible and to engage before the target warps off, this is best done by utilizing a friend or an alt in a ship that can provide a warp-in, either via a probe scan or by approaching the target, and then having the gank catalyst warp to the friend or alt in fleet. Every meter you can get closer to the target, the more damage you'll do before CONCORD destroys you. When you're at a close enough range, approach the target, activate your warp disruptor, then your guns and webifier immediately after.

As for a strategy for the above Thrasher, the main benefit for the Thrasher is it's much higher alpha strike and range in contrast to it's much lower overall DPS. It has an optimal range of approx 9.4km and falls off to half damage at approximately 16km. The goal with the Thrasher is to first make sure you're within range, and then to minimize the transversal to the target you're shooting if it's a smaller target- this is best done by stopping your ship for a couple seconds before firing on the target. Thrashers excel at killing capsules, ventures, shuttles (including leopards) and other ships that a Catalyst cannot deal with due to it's low range. A benefit to a Thrasher is it's ability to select damage, if you aren't sure what to shoot EMP tends to be the best ammo for most targets you'd want to shoot.

~~When using blasters check whether~~ the ~~Federation Navy or Caldari Navy version~~ of the ~~ammo is cheapest~~.

In general for suicide ganking, you don't need to bring that much ammo since you're going to end up dead anyway, just enough has been added into the cargohold of the above ships to ensure that you have plenty before CONCORD arrives.
