Disciple of Bob: Disco Inferno

The introduction of NullSec rated Pirate Faction Relic and Data sites to low class Wormholes has been a boon for all involved. Residents now have a consistent income stream from the salvage and BPC's they drop and traffic from intrepid explorers looking to make a sneaky buck has shot through the roof. When they were first introduced I made my best attempts to catch these explorers with my double scram fit Astero with decent success. What you would rarely catch however, was the pod once the ship was destroyed, allowing that pilot to warp away to safety and salvage some pride. Well, that just won't stand. The challenge was to find a ship that could scan and stalk a target but also catch the pod before it escapes. You could spend hours camping a Relic site in a cloaked interdictor, but just having the cloak fitted means they'll most like escape your clutches before you can even lock on. Alternatively, you could fit up Stealth Bomber with rockets and blasters but you'd stand little chance against a decently fit Astero, never mind the difficulty in catching the pod should you succeed. There had to be a better way.

Full credit to Trinkets friend for this fitting, my version is slightly different, but the concept remains the same.

Most explorers who venture into J233555 have experienced the Disco Inferno and although I have been a little less actively hunting of late, I have a white hot love for this ship. Over 100 pilots have taken the express route back to their cloning facility so far and I still haven't lost the Proteus, although Brave tried valiantly to bait me out on one occasion. Moreover, the number of Sisters Probe Launchers I have collected and sold have more than covered for the investment in such a specialized ship, but regardless of which, the tears are priceless.

But of course, I don't do it for selfish reasons. I neither desire or require the accolades. It's all for the Glory of Bob. As such, every corpse collected is ritually deposited at the true center of the star in J233555 where an Altar of Bob has been constructed beneath His all seeing eye. I recite the prayer, make the offering and Bob is pleased, for he sends more explorers to die by His Holy Fire.
