but they changed the loottable. its only trash now.
not sure but i think we face more waves too.
Are you serious? And I thought the old loot table was stingy. For a frame of reference, the basic accelerator gives 8,640 SP each day for two days, and it’s not even unallocated!
Here, have a meme. In fact, since CCP is being so stingy, I’ll give you two.
In general, I really like these events - especially that they are locked to particular ships - in this one I enjoyed spending quite some time theorycrafting several new battlecruiser fits and then trying them out on TQ. In particular, I had never really flown the Brutix before, and had only flown a Drake Navy Issue very fleetingly.
However, now I have a fit that pretty much works for both the nullsec and highsec sites (it’s an active shield tanked DNI in the end) - I have lost interest, especially as the loot remains quite lackluster. The only thing that keeps me going is trying to collect all the remaining skins, but then I know I can probably just run some L4/burner missions, or do some exploration, and then buy them off the Jita market.
So in summary: I like the ship restricted events (perhaps we need a Battleship one next??), but please increase the loot drops to make the Isk/hr worth running them.
Garth
so how many accs drop? the rest is just meh.
Yeah, I used to really like the live events myself. I also enjoy theory crafting, it’s something different to do for a while, and they have historically given some good rewards. Unfortunately, CCP has been getting super stingy with the loot tables and site respawn rates, and I don’t know why. Like, I understand that they’re trying to bring risk to reward ratio’s for many activities back into line, but this seems like a ridiculous over-correction. Hopefully, CCP will eventually find the goldie-locks zone for live event rewards.
iirc, I pulled 3 basic and 1 potent out of the first dozen or so sites that I ran on the first day. I’ve run about 8 since then, but have gotten no goodies at all out of those. I thought I was just being unlucky, but then I saw your post saying the loot table was nerfed.
got also 3 and 1. i can see a pattern there.
I think it’s just RNG odds - I got a Potent and a Basic out of 4 HS sites today
and it was just rng that you always get the wrong targets in the abyss event?
Aye, I usually get the wrong end of RNG
i will not fleet you
You should - one day will be mine!
got IIRC 5 basics and one extended. out of …250M in red loot ? so 25 sites ?
Completed a few solo yesterday conclusion:
The Spawn rate is garbage
The total time spent to isk reward is worst than a level 4 mission. (considerinf the time to find these buggers)
Neut pressure is so high you don’t have many fitting options to solo it. I don’t think alphas can do it solo which is ■■■■ because the rewards are horrible.
Here is the fit:
[Drake Navy Issue, DNI EDENCOM]
Ballistic Control System II

Shield Power Relay II
Pithum C-Type Thermal Dissipation Amplifier

Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Salvage Drone I x5
Valkyrie II x5
Nova Javelin Heavy Assault Missile x1000
Nova Rage Heavy Assault Missile x5000
Never had to use the Javelin but I brought some just in case.
I’m selling the hull and doing something else.
If you ask me, don’t waste your time on these sites.
Just give CCP the finger and find something better to do.
EHP/S 211. If you get the 2 starving Vedmak’s you get capped out but tank holds. on the last wave kill frig, logi then the Vedmak. They warp away if you kill Vedmak 1st.
alphas can do it when he knows to fit proper things on the right ship.
loot from 5 sites. 55 minutes from undock to dock again, also I took my time and scanned signatures in system at the same time.

here it is ± 54 database per site, so ±5M2 isk per site. Which amounts to 25M/h if you have consistently 5 sites per hour (not really realistic, I was lucky to have one system with 3 sites).
55/5 = 11min/site
What is the ship/fit did you use?
i hate the bc limitation on this why the hell bc? why? thats the only class of ships i avoid.
Solo Flux boosted XLSB HML Gnosis for the win. Autotargetting Nova missiles and Hobgoblins, an EMP loaded autocannon if you have the CPU, flight of salvage drones for the Trig goo. Average site loot/salvage volume: 350m^3.
It’s a Drekavac reward event dontcha know
…sulks away in my dusty EOS…
