100m isn't really worth ganking, especially with a BS.
Was probably a smart suicide team/individual then. I've seen plenty of suicide teams let small fish go bye so they can get a big one. Ganking a small kill can alert others either from the pilot who lost the ship warning others on the other side or those haulers that are watching the map and seeing how active ship kills are in their current route.
I've done some suicide ganking before and yes, 100m in cargo is not worth it. If you think that ships killed per hour does not play an effect on how high value haulers route and travel to their destination then you are severely wrong.
I've done work on both sides on the field and believe me, there are some smart and/or paranoid people out there when it comes to hauling and ganking.
Terrible drop, but here is a perfect example of how stupid people can be:

Notice - almost 1B in a T1 hauler and zero attempt at any sort of tank.

That's just sad. I bet he posted on the eve-o forums whining and complaining about it as well.

I feel bad that I've been unavailable to my corp recently. I've been logging in from time to time to do a little solo PvP or ratting, but that's been it for the past few weeks.
At least I've finally hit the point where I can train Medium Autocannon Specialization, which means I can start flying a hurricane with Tech 2 Autocannons. Anyone have any good recommended setups for a hurricane? It looks like 6x 425mm Tech IIs and dual energy neuts are popular in high slots, but beyond that I'm not sure how to go. Some people fit a shield tank in the mid slots and accuracy/damage equipment in the lows, while others go for an armor tank.
I assume the 220s are better for smaller/faster targets? I'm pretty new at using projectile turrets, up until now I've always been a missile user (as shown by my love for the HAM Drake.)
Hmm, I've never seen the sensor booster used on a Hurricane before. Mind if I ask what the logic behind it is? I've only ever used them to boost range, and obviously that's a non-issue for a ship like this.
Got my first kill which I did the final blow over the weekend It was one heck of a well piloted hurricane (who took out a rupture , followed by scorpion a few minutes later).
Sort of bittersweet. We are at war (a new one, not IDLE anymore), and one of the main players of their corp caught one of my corp mates (he was out missioning and was late in responding to our scout reports and was caught at a gate jumping back to base camp). Anyway, after (attempting?) ransoming for his pod, our corp mate was still podded (don't know the full story, all I know is that ISK exchanged hands).
So the rest of us fleet up to try and get some payback. He again catches someone at another gate and we all come warping in. I arrived first and almost didn't make it out alive (I am changing my fit after that encounter). I am glad the calvary arrived when they did (and with remote armor reps) because I was in structure. I landed the final blow, but not before he took out the scorpion that he caught at this gate, and almost me in my cane.

You should never be podded in high-sec or low sec unless someone uses smartbombs, since there are no bubbles. Just remember to click on a celestrial when you get to structure, and spam the warp button. As soon as you are in your pod, you will warp away. Even a super sensor boosted legion (with a scan res of >5000) won't be able to catch you before you warp away, because the pod has nearly instantaneous align time.
