This is one of the best reasons to go where other players aren't.<br /><br />2b. Yes.<br /><br />3c. When I see probes, I warp to the depot, refit, and warp off. They can't scan it down quickly enough to get there first.<br /><br />2d. There are no or almost no scramming rats in rated DED complexes. Ignoring the 10/10, anyway.<br /><br />2e. I've never been shot at while in an exploration tengu. Except for twice when I let them, which doesn't count.<br /><br />3. You remove the contents before scooping it. The extenders are so you can carry more missiles; loot is small enough to not be an issue. Profits are almost entirely from loot, and very little from bounties. I don't even kill ships that I don't have to. Salvage is worthless.Parasojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037396025518894441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073943808360472163.post-3333571162401323832014-07-01T03:19:33.263-07:002014-07-01T03:19:33.263-07:00A really good read for a returning player like mys...A really good read for a returning player like myself who wants a different side of eve other than being stuck in High sec missions or constant WD corps in null sec. I have a few questions for you: <br /><br />1) Are you finding this ISK making approach effective in Kronos patch? <br />2) How often do you have to pack and run because of threats? Do you have enough time to warp to your depot and refir/run? What do you do when people attack your depot? Do those rats warm scram/web you?<br />I am a bit paranoid about losing my ship even though i have a quite respectable SP focused on tengu skills. I am just not experienced in pvp.<br />3) Noobie question: once you scoop your depot fool of goodies, do its contents stay inside? Are 2 cargo extenders enough for loot or do you focus more on bounties and less on loot? <br />Would you suggest salvaging a site or not worth the time?<br /><br />Thanks a bunch. Great guide!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073943808360472163.post-35679432777269576932014-06-05T17:16:49.727-07:002014-06-05T17:16:49.727-07:00Probably.

But our ship setup is a bit different. We as a group of two or three t3s fly into hostile 0.0 with a nullifie setup and warpcore stabs and than after scanning down a plex we refit to a dmg setup.<br />For guys who dont know much about 0.0 life I recommend as a testing area the great wildlands, they are pretty empty just the entry systems are camped. If you cant nullifie your ship try to fly to minmatar low thru brothers of tangra space and than into the geat wildlands the systems arent that heavy camped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073943808360472163.post-64167892218235415112014-02-05T12:35:08.054-08:002014-02-05T12:35:08.054-08:00Usually the only place you will find that sort of ...Usually the only place you will find that sort of thing is nullsec entry systems.

Or the other bad thing - you can't cloak because of people being too close, not to mention hordes of drones on gate? It happened to me before that I died in a covops! because sabre was 1.5k km from me on the other side (of total 3 people gate camping)...<br />Sure it requires some bad luck but I was always thinking of this, eg. when reading of moving BPOs to lowsec...<br />Any tricks against these, or just scout and either wait for no gate camp or hope for the best?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073943808360472163.post-32476252632542656062014-02-05T00:08:58.913-08:002014-02-05T00:08:58.913-08:00And there is actually one site worth doing that I ...And there is actually one site worth doing that I don't mention here because you need a capital for it.Parasojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037396025518894441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073943808360472163.post-81427851941725620622014-02-04T23:53:42.352-08:002014-02-04T23:53:42.352-08:00You could also get an alt in carrier as mobile bas...You could also get an alt in carrier as mobile base and ammo storage if you are planning to stay in the region for longer period of time.

Then you can live off of that for however long, dropping your loot in it. Never anchor your depot in the same place though, since depots can be scanned down. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
