-I am a numpty and forgot a mobile tractor so this is just the loot from whatever can was closest to the gate.
-I’m sure I made a lot of mistakes on account of I don’t PvE at all
-Maybe I just had an easy spawn sequence but it seems likely that so long as you know how to execute whatever strategy applies to a given spawn you should probably be okay
-Basically perfect skills so I had that going for me
-N=1, granted, obviously
IDK, I’ll do a few more I guess but I kind of feel like the danger is being overstated
There is loot and it has a value. Now when it’s less than 10% of the total KM no, it’s not worth considering having an alt to save that value.
Which was your whole argument to say that “there is no risk in high sec”.
Yes, it’s complete waste of time.
Just re read yourself and try not to laugh .
please don’t forget to give the total loot after 49 more, so that we have a correct loot table.
Actually it would be better when you have at least 10 of each items. But since this skillbook drops on EACH run it should be very fast ?
Heh doesn’t hurt that you hit the jackpot on your first try. Disintegrator books are extremely rare and are the money maker for abyss runners. Without that you’re looking at ~50-60mill minus filament cost and drugs cost. 50 back to back is a bit extreme, but curious on you 20 run average.
TBH trying to bust my balls on the N=1 thing that I already granted is kind of insipid. Like it’s not even the deranged pedantry people usually associate with you. I already ■■■■■■■ said it myself. What possible point do you imagine you’re raising by repeating the thing I already said?
Why do you think people are giving loots for 50 runs and not for 1 run ?
The answer is : because it’s stupid to give the loot for one run.
So when you give the loot for one run, this is stupid. Even if you agree with it : why do you give it in the first place ? What’s the point of bringing that one-run loot here ?
And the same goes for the risk. You can do 50 runs without an issue, and then make a mistake on ONE run and lose your ship and pod. And no, the loot on those 50 runs won’t be as much as what you showed. sometimes you can do a lot of run, and get nothing of value. And you still have to pay the drugs, the filament - and your time.
I know it, cause it happened. When people judge the difficulty on one run, it’s BS. just EXACTLY as when you talk about the drops, on one run.
Call that “deranged pedantry” if you like. I call your post BS.
I believe it’s because the anecdotal evidence of one run that netted the best loot you can get not only skews you perception of the run value, but also the difficulty. There are hundreds of possible encounter setups, so as you said you may have seen an easy one.
Which I also granted. However, even going in entirely blind, it was not overwhelming. I’m sure there are iterations that are more difficult than others, but the room for improvement from the player side is probably extensive given my general inexperience with the things.
I can certainly see how going linkdead would pretty likely end in sadness, but that goes for a lot of things.
QED. Use a decent ship with a decent fit and be a decent pilot and even if you lack specific experience on that site you can do just fine if you put in some effort into figuring it all out before doing. Without requiring a silly bling ship or fit.
I generally prefer a slightly more tanky fit even though it drops some dps. You’ll still have enough time to complete and allows for more mess ups or mishaps.
Also as an aside, I noticed I got a normal session change immunity timer on exit. Has anything changed with the mechanics around orca ship swapping in the last little while, or is it still only a weapon timer that prevents it?
I’ve not used an orca in a while (not since the earliest wardec changes, really) afaik it’s weapons timer. Would be a good thing to test would these abyssals get their suspect thing again.
Asking the question also shows the capability and intent to improve and find solutions for problems. Something which, again, is lacking in carebears who keep whining and moaning.
-edit-
The Orca isn’t really a solution against gankers. If people start using those the gankers will just bring a Mach and bump it off.
The best solution is very simple: don’t be near a tradehub and don’t be in Caldari space.
Eh, my thought was more like the orca is either off-grid aligned or on-grid/cloaked/half-aligned.
“Oh, there are dicks here but I’m invincible for 60 seconds”
warp orca to me, switcheroo
If someone can bump it in that timeframe, hell, they earned it.
But yes, I feel like I could probably run these all day on certain highsec islands and no amount of flagging would matter one bit.
People not happy about their safeish high sec income being outed for being too good, frantically using tons of lies and terrible smoke and mirrors to try and cover it up.
