WH cleaned up and change of plans....oh GOONIES!

After a few hours of play last night and listening the the planet risk show live for the first time, i managed to finish the rest of the sites in my Wormhole.

-3 perimeter checkpoints

-4 perimeter hangars

-3 sleeper data sanctuary

-3 Ruins of Enclave Cohort 27

After clearing the rest of these i rescanned...yes i know i should've scanned when i logged on but I was just happy enough to see that my wormhole system had to load, meaning nobody coming through. Scanning revealed that i did however have 3 wormholes present in system now compared to the 2 wormholes I had the night before. I also had 2 ladar sites and 2 grav sites. Being that I didnt have the tools with me for the ladar and grav sites, i passed and went to check out the Wormholes in my system:

-1 null sec WH

-1 class 5 WH

     AND

-1 class 2 WH *new*

Awesome, so the difference last night was i had an extra WH. After inspecting each of the WHs, none of them were K162's. Which actually surprised me because i was under the belief that a WH would only have as many "outbound" WHs respective to the class you were in. SO a class 2 would have 2 WHs, a class 3 would have 3 ...and so on. So kinda proved wrong on one aspect of it of that thought...you can have more it would seem.

OK back on track...so i take the scanning ship into the class 2 and begin scanning. Someone was making use of this space. This is what was on overview:

-Amarr POS (not sure on size)

- 8 medium pulse lasers

- a few cruise missile launchers (1 or 2 i think)

- 1 citadel launcher....not sure why but ok.

- 2 corp hangars

- ship hangar

- 1 ballistic hardener (no other hardeners)

 And that was it so if it sounds like your setup, o/ i stopped by. After that initial system wide scan i began tracking signatures. BA DA BOOM...first signature scanned is high sec exit. Marked. DONE. Time to get orca. Nothing exciting really happens here...go back to my WH...warp point for orca made...jump orca into transistion class 2...warp squad to high sec WH...warp out. Time to cash in.

The Total for loot sold was 240mil isk. Which i dont think is bad for being in the WH 24 hrs. and of that only maybe 6 hrs being the actually play time.

So after selling off the items and thinking about doing it again...me and a corp mate start talking about the events surrounding the GOONS. My corp mate did not know what i was talking about, so thanks to this posting in RifterDrifter Blog. I was able to link a good detail post about some of the things happening. And I also just noticed something while writing this....ole'RifterDrifter there is in AAA...and i was shot and podded by AAA just a few days ago...I wonder if he was in that camp.

*EDIT ADD: Found a post here from someone in IT i believe, with another POV on the DELVE/GOON events.
Last-night-goons-dropped-sov


So like i was saying after catching my corp mate up to speed...we decided that why do ANYTHING else...other than going to check out the DELVE region. So prepping for the venture ahead...we would like to make it back...lol with out being podded...but the odds of that happening..are really really slim. Fitting up stealth bombers we are going to start our trip on saturday morning. Hoping to get some great screen shots i will be of course following up with a posting on what happens. So if you are reading this and part of IT alliance...PLEASE DONT SHOOT US...lol. Could i be blue for a day? LOL. And well nothing personal against the GOONS..but hey...pretty much sounds like the group that everyone loves to hate...and me i just find some conflicts interesting and this is supposedly a very big deal.

So flight plan for saturday:
-depart to Delve
-not to get podded
-kill a goon straggler...lol i can dream right?
-have a few good convos
-hopefully making it back to empire without the pod express.

I would like to thank the PlanetRisk Show for plugging my new blog. Glad to hear them back up and running and if you didnt know this yet. The planetrisk guys are plotting a T1 Frigate/cruiser pvp free-for-all competition in the future. Check their site for more updates and great podcast.

Status quo so far, Where did the cans go...

So last night's settlement of the Mobile Task Force for my WH experience was successful. My idea here is to stay in WH space until i run out of ammo. Using the orca as my "storage-on-the-go" so far is working nicely as well.

Sites completed last night before logging:

-2 perimeter hangars

-1 Mag site.(Lesson learned here)

I only ran so few sites due to the time. After salvaging my 2nd hangar site it was around Mid'night and well 5 o'clock in the morning comes pretty quickly. The alarms starts ringing...i hit it...it rings some more...i hit it some more...eventually wifey start hitting me each time I decided to hit the alarm and not get up...lol. This normal routine gets me up around 0630...lol.

Anywayz so I did however learn one of my first lessons with a Mag site. And that would be, not to warp off once you have cleared the site. DOH. Yep after clearing the site, i reported back to Alala and her orca to pick up salvage/mag site ship. Proceed to warp back thinking about the possible riches to find...only to find the cans are gone...well damn...still salvaged the site and continued on with the swapping of ships.

After the 3 sites were down, i logged on a trade toon to find out some of the expected rough returns of my work. So far i have roughly 64mil of salvage loot and i believe this took maybe 2 hours of actual site running. If you want to count the whole WH time start from entering and scanning...then roughly 4 hours. And from that aspect it looks pretty non efficient way of making ISK, but again i am out here just relaxing and chatting in convo's at the same time. So otherwords...not a bad 64 mil made in my eyes. I am hoping to see another mag site so I can attempt round 2. This time i wont warp off...but does mean Alala will have to warp the Orca into the Mag site to allow the switching of ships.

One of my corp mates made out a little better. Before moving into my class 2 WH...I also found a class 1 that was empty of player presence. I believe he made roughly 120mil in the same amount of time that i was flying the sites. However he has scanning skills leveled on the low end so he ended up leaving his WH before the verge of collapse.

Tonight i will probably look into clearing some more sites...and also looking to see how the site list is doing today. I have read about WH's "drying out", but the theory is the sites are consistantly channging locations as the are completed. So if that is the case...is it safe to say even if you "dry out" a WH, it is only a matter of time before the tables turn and your WH starts feeling up yet again with sites?

We will see...till then Fly safe,

My New Class 2 WH

Alright...well after 2 days of scanning...tonight i found myself a class 2 WH with no body living inside. SWEET! So what next...the excitement at first has overwhelmed me. So to get things going... i logged in Alala to get the orca up and running.

Alala undocks the orca and proceeds only 3 jumps away to target system. It figures that as soon as i really get things going...everyone decides to call my cell. So after weeding out the calls and making sure RL is in order. I jump back onto eve. Orca is one hop out. So i do some scanning with Enyo to see what i am working with...first  inital scan show 12 sleeper sites and 6 other sites. Not to bad i think. After scanning down the sites i come up with 2 gravs, 1 ladar, 1 mag, and 2 Wormholes.

-wormhole leading to class 5

-wormhole leading to null sec

Now i have read a few theories on WH operations and how the mechanics work, so i am curious to see how this plays in my new home.

So Alala show ups in system. I jump Enyo out to allow warp point. I get into system and get to work...first order of business was to collapse the WH i entered through. The orca made this happen with a total of 4 jumps...ending on the right side of the WH.

So my "Mobile WH Operation Task Force" consist of the following ships:

-Orca

-Drake

-Destroyer (Salvage)

-Covert Ops (Scanning)

So after the everything was done and ready to go....it was time to cloak the orca and do one more round about in the system. Time to get things killed.
