A macro that will kill one particular trader.  This macro has never failed.
macro text as follows:   "cn3qb#y"
 

That is so mean. LOL  I posted this here cause I haven't used it yet and I was wondering if I had it right.

lol  This is like a ritual for new players.  Everyone needs to experience it once.  Sort of like snipe hunting on your 1st camping trip. 

[EDITED FOR FORMAT]

Just as a suggestion: Get your total figs with either the I or / command and then divide by your fighter wave. This will allow you to send max waves which may be necessary. You could also have 5 waves of 6k on a ship that holds 35k fighters so you would have a possible 6th wave of 5k fighters.

You might also want to check if max fighter wave is greater than the number of fighters you have so it sends the maximum fighters available. Say your max wave is 15k and you have 10k available. Your wave would send 1500 instead of 15k or the 10k available.

personally, i wouldn't suggest using such a script, but don't get me wrong, feel free to noob it up and die

Another helpful post, thank you

Also beware that someone mowing thru is going to be too fast to hit. On top of that, if they know you are there, they can bring in a ship w/ them and corb bomb you. A script like the above will not work in fedspace either as you won't attack past feds, empty ships or other fedsafe traders.

Another issue with that script is that it will also get triggered by aliens as well. So don't be like JB and use it in an alien game!

Noted.  Actually this idea started while I was Fed Safe sitting at dock waiting for a lazy red

What were you reading?
hehe

Sing is correct.  This could be dangerous,  I personall prefer macros on hot keys for situations when quick attack responses are needed.  I set them according to the game and ship stats.  If the ship I'm going to be in most of the time for killing has a maximum of 10k figs per attack, then I set my F keys as follows
F1 = ay10000^M^M
F2 = any10000^M^M
f3 = anny10000^M^M
The extra enter key is in case they leave your not at a bad prompt.
There may be a bettter way than this, but this is the best I've found and I can control the outcome in most cases.
 

What helper do you use D?

What? Its a very newb script that will end up getting you killed.
How much more helpful do I need to be?
That isn't even a script, it's a macro which you have no control over.
Thats just stupid.
If you're going that route, just use macros, which you can make on the fly, and make them much smarter, or just write a smart script that won't get you killed.
