I did a filament within the Dodixie star today. No where close to the collision model but well within the Visual model. Distance from star was reported by overview as 0.

So far there have been something like 7300 ships killed in Abyssal Dead space. This does not count the people killed in known space after leaving that space.

At the Reddit AMA cop employees said tier 5 had a 60% success rate and tier 4 had 90%. And there is a lot of Abyssal loot on the market, AND Trig ships are popping up on the killboard more frequently.

All evidence point to a lot of people doing this content. In the 1st day there was more ships killed isk wise in Abyssal space than there have been destroyed FOBs I’m all the months qeve had that feature. I know a good few people dipping their toes in as well…

I’m on the record as criticizing what cop does with pve. And this content isn’t perfect. But its IMO the best pve addition they have made since 2009.

Some people are dead set on disliking it because its not “more missions”, but we can still remind ccp that most pve players seem to prefer missions and anoms (we do, even if most of us don’t want to admit it) while appreciating good new content additions like Abyssal deadspace.

I think this is the case. Here are two killmails 1 second apart in the same system:

> **[Ishtar | Mareau Auscent | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/70270737/)**
>
> Mareau Auscent (No Vacancies) lost their Ishtar in Unsfgrvaa (ADR04) Total Value: 747,381,811.76 ISK

> **[Gila | Laroza | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/70270736/)**
>
> Laroza (Don't Wake a sleeping bear) lost their Gila in Unsfgrvaa (ADR04) Total Value: 598,958,845.75 ISK

I looked at the data I had [grabbed earlier](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eMCU8BU4NwenGdv7gk_k9gnFz_NHEmppUbxXAsz-ed4/edit?usp=sharing) and there are several hundred killmails in the same system less than a minute apart like the two above. It seems very likely to me that there can be multiple instances of the sites in a single Triglavian system and that they are just isolated from one another, which makes sense as there has never been any report of reaching a cap or getting some error message that the sites are full as far as I am aware.

The issue with the Vedmak is mostly its fitting space. In theory it could do a lot of things at once, but in reality it can’t due to low power grid. The other issue is the way the new weapon system works. In Chessurs thread he linked a damage over time sheet, which shows how much worse the Vedmak performs in terms of damage unless it stays on one target over several minutes. So the only cases where this would be helpful are super tight small gang vs small gang fights with logi or the Vedmak being used to kill capitals. I’ll have to check if it can do DPS + 100mn + decent tank, but from what I’ve seen so far I doubt it.

When the announce they are available to redeem for 30 days, does that mean once redeemed it doesn’t time expire?

Being in null sec PvP alliance like TIKLE makes your point be very valid for null. But I was talking about HIGH SEC PvE carebares. You still think it is an ’ incorrect sweeping generalization.’ ?

My bad, you did mention hisec in that post:

Still I do think it’s good that they get out of their comfort zone with level 4 and level 5 sites

The free giveaway enticed me to try it for the first time.

Visuals are great  
The unknown was interesting  
The loot was not bad  
Fun factor was 7 of 10 - probably because it was fresh.  
Knowing you may lose ship and pod +1

Overall I enjoyed it. will do it again. It’s not all about rewards folks although making good is is great. It is a game so try doing things for the fun factor sometime. 🕶

@Yiole_Gionglao  
i dont get it  
whats your problem?  
its clear what this should be … everyone should try it at least 1 time … if you dont grind for data sites or buy from market … here we go … after a time you bring 1 filament … all good … good call CCP … would be a bad idea on day 1

Yeah fitting is difficult, but the main issue is the weapon system if using it for solo fights, some people suggested them as a good bet for killing Rorquals.

The Triglavian ships need a damage buff. I wonder if the damage worked in reverse (hit for full and ramped down for sustained hits) if it would work better?

So profits-did 4 tiers4 today took about 1 hour had to borrow/steal some faction mods off a corpie as I didn’t have them on hand while at same time giggling and promising I won’t blow up.He didn’t really believe me.

Anyway came out of all 4 sites with about 150mil worth of loot or so didn’t have any issues inside as I was ready for anything.

I set the abyssal junk aside and took my nyx alt through the anoms-decided to make a point and went ratting for an hour ticks were 106mil. 133 and 135 plus an escalation sold for 100mil.I can’t in all honesty say abyssal space lures me for the thrill anymore as for the isk not a chance.

Oh, it would. In the reverse case do you turn the auto-repeat off and pulse it for maximum effect. 🤩

To me the new ships / weapons sound pretty much like a classic heavy weapon system - a tank breaking weapon.

But there is no point in expecting quick results from a weapon that is intentionally meant not to produce these.

Well a number of times we had to leg it when the support came in, is that any different to what we have now? Seriously, when a ton of supers and Titans come in to save them, you have to leg it.

It is something different and interesting, it gives different options, but is definitely not a solo setup.

True, but I’m thinking there may be a niche where it will work as a kiter. It caters to a defensive tactic where you ignore your own dps and focus only on staying alive. You don’t fire at first at all, but save your cap for reps, for SBs, even rep your own drones or neut your target, and when you’re still able to hold on, then start firing. It’s not for ganking or face-melting, but for players with patience and endurance.
