so i used to hunt fw plex runners/farmers, but since caldari got almost all systems, its seems they are all running missions in jackdaws… i tried to hunt a few of them but everytime i enter their mission the rats switch to me… so hunting them with sth. cheap like a cruiser or a destroyer doesnt work so well:-) (and of course 90% the time they bail when you enter) so i now thought about a tanky pilgrim, but before i buy one: are you able to cloak in fw missions or is it like the changes in FW plexes? of course if anyone has a nice idea to catch theeese farmers answer as well ---

You can cloak. But good luck catching a Jackdaw in a Pilgrim. Also he knows you are in one, so waiting may not be fruitful in general. Though there are also some Tengu runners in Minmatar/Amarr area… I personally gave up on the topic. ---

I like to camp a system at a safe spot near the sun, and keep an eye on the overview. If a mission beacon appears, warp to it quickly. Most sites will spawn closer to the sun than to a gate, so you should arrive sooner than the mission runner. edit: you can do the same thing with plex farmers. ---

Dito, but I regularly fail to lock a Jackdaw at the acc gate … ---

cloacky arty loki might work, just oneshot the ratter/botter or curse/lachesis as they are not visible on dscan Tornado with artys might work too, or anything else with long range you could also put an alt into opposite FW corp to spy for the missionrunners ---

There was a guy that used an AB Dramiel. Here is a mwd version of it. It was fast and the missile damage from the Jackdaws is low. Good luck. Their align time is not the best when they land on the gate, unless they are lucky enough that they are already facing the right way for activation.
