Just wondering if Conveys only appear at certain times of the day, appear at certain stations or do they spawn at completely random times?
Sick of trying to go take out some Conveys only to have to wait about an hour for one to appear.
Any Help or advice would be appreciated :P
MrMacca :D

Keep looking around, the denser the station count in a system, the more likely a convoy will be around.
They do patterns, from one station to the next, so don't just sit and wait, go find them. If you're lucky and hit at the right time, you might find one leaving as one is coming in.
Remember to warp to a station and hit your scanner, set it to distance.. if nothing there, rinse/repeat at the next station.

Here's one tactic I've learned in tracking down the evil purveyor's of Dirt and Water. (scumbags)
Use the SCANNER!! Warp to station, and scan out to 1000km. Many times you will not even see the convoy visually. If convoys pop up, then use your DIRECTIONAL scanner, and move your ship in very minute turns. Use 90 degree setting at first. Once you pick up the convoy again, narrow the beam to 60. Once you pick it up again, just start flying out in that direction, and you should see them. Make GREAT HASTE in destroying them, because they can warp out at any given moment. Also, make sure you are at least 55km from any sentry guns, or you will get PWN3D!
Oh, and dont attack any navy convoys, or you are asking for a very short lifespan in the not-too-distant future. ______________________

Navy convoys?
You mean the normal convoys (haulers, merchants etc.) leaving navy stations or some navy convoys made out of navy transports?
i've just taken out quite a few normal convoys leaving a navy station. Hopefully this doesn't meen I'm as good as dead.

ok Question....
if i find a convoy in a 0.9 region, all NPC ships (about 3 of them all Badger or Badger MK2) they are a fair distance from a station (about 100km) can i still attack them without getting wasted by police??
i have seen a few and would like to waste them ! :) but dont want to incase the police have a bit of a mental at me !!

Also... can you "disable" them just like the drones??
and...
if i manage to disable one how do i get the cargo and ship??? i presume i have to "Board Ship" and leave my current one just floating about do i?? (well it would be better to go buy a shuttle and use that i suppose....

You loose some standing with Concorde (and lots of standing with the corp owning the convoy) but Concorde won't come after you. Just stay out of range of the Sentry Guns as indicated ;)
You cannot disable the ships AFAIK. You have to destroy them to pick up the cargo they drop.
Oh, and naturally it isn't allowed to destroy Amarr convoys ;P
