The Hunt is now live!

Yeah, CCP doesn’t know how to properly describe things and they also like to be as vague as possible when giving out information.

Your ship fit is set up more for exploration, not really a combat fit. I suggest fitting your Destroyer with all weapons in the high slots, fit mid slots for defense with a Repair module and Cap Booster, fit low slots with modules to increase your ships damage output and or it’s defensive tank.

See technically he does (or did) have a repair module on his destroyer… it’s a hull one though, with armor plates and a damage control… unsure of rigs (if any)… zkill shows fitting rigs.

So my advice @Erurianon_Mcgonagall would be to fit one tank type, and decide either active or passive. Power/CPU rigs are fine until skills improve, then look at adding additional tank or damage rigs. As DeMichael suggested an active armor fit would benefit from a cap booster (possibly a cap battery once skills improve). Hull repairers are not good for active tanking as they take waaay to long to cycle (compared to an armor repairer of the same size, T2 Hull rep = 24 secs, T2 Armor rep = 6 secs) so most ‘good’ hull tank fits use a T2 damage control (hull resists), Reinforced bulkheads (instead of plates) and Transverse bulkheads for rigs, which then provides a large hull buffer.

As you appear to be in a 200+ man corp I’d suggest asking there for an improved fit… if they are unable to provide this I would suggest looking for a new corp to join. Best of luck.

So no resist or buffer rigs or such.

No… rigs used for increasing power and cpu… you could say rigs used to improve fitting… which is why I said

because the cropped image did not include this. I’m really struggling to work out why you bothered posting though… unless you were just itching to show off his loss, which he’d already posted in the image anyway?

Try fitting something like this. I know that you probably can’t fit T2 launchers but it is important to cover all shield resistances and to be constantly moving in space. Don’t be sitting duck, it makes you an easy target for Guristas.

Instead of paranoia and guesswork try reading my post as the quote exactly shows why I posted it:

Was not clear why you write unsure of rigs as the zkill you mention shows exactly that but clarified it anyway just in case. Try not to project anything onto what others write. :wink:

I’m running them in a single armor rep tristan with hornets. Every now and then I have to overheat the rep on the boss.

ok so for the recrod :slight_smile:
loot from 9 sites
There was not everything because I was full several times, at the end. Basically loot from OPE is 117M

I timed two series : one of 57 min (from undock to dock back), with 4 sites, and one of 48 minutes with two sites, so a total of 6 sites in 105 minutes. In both cases I entered with people already here and snatched the loot every time.

At first I tried an enyo with dual rep, it was too much, so I did the 3 missings sites with dual rep but there was no need. Then I did the 4 remaining with 1 rep, and blaster enyo ; then I studied the rats a bit

  • weak type is EM. Barely. Commander is omni. I checked the EHP for each types that is named “Hunt X” and the lowest was always EM.
  • Highest incoming damage is … depends. Explos is the lowest. I’d say tank for kine then em then thermal.
  • All rats orbit 4km-8km so best to shoot them at this range.
  • You get webbed, pointed, ECM’d, scrammed, neuted. still easy to tank.
  • I think you consume two acceleration gate keys if you double click the jump button. Also if you take the gate, but rats pop and point you you need to use one more.

This is the cheapest ship (7 mil) I have run these in though it does need high fitting skills to an Alpha account. Very tanky fit gives a relatively calm run though, and great loot too xD

so, another run … this time, 143min !!! to run … 5 sites :confused:

I literally found zero site in the first 90 min, then I noticed one site as I entered a system but it disappeared like 5 s after that.
Then I tried to find more sites, but found nothing untill I decided to stop and change region. By the time I had set a route in another region, I found one that had just apepared in my system, and then on the 11 next systems I found the 4others, with one system having two sites.

I also literally found 12 keys while searching

Another 1H, 3-sites run :

the big issue is the cargo. I could ignore all the loot that takes place but i rather not. So maybe use a different ship ? Also the need to resupply every 3 sites is … doh !

Maybe you are doing something wrong. I do only Huntmaster sites in a ship worth 170 mil. ISK. Only yesterday I earned 1 bil. ISK in loot which I sold yesterday in Jita. Additionally I earned 200 mil. ISK after building and selling Gecko drones. My biggest high score are two implants: Mid Hydra Omega that I built for less then 300 mil. ISK and sold today for 1,5 bil. ISK!!! Another one is High Hydra Epsilon which I built for around 300 mil. ISK also and it is still on the market waiting to be sold for another 1,5 bil. ISK :sunglasses:

are those low sec ?

Also my jaguar fit costs less than 100M, and my enyo that was pimped was evaluated to 130M + abyssal modules (FN web + unstable, abyssall ADCT2, a lot of stuff I actually had in my cans)

In the end the jaguar is better.

Here is another two runs.
Total 45+57 min = 102 min
found 5 sites, did 4 (one there was already someone). Total I finished my 70-jumps route and started it again.

Yeah the Huntmaster sites spawn in low sec only.

This time I was lucky, there was a lot of sites.

I was doing other things, in the end I got 12 OPE so I guess I actually got 12 sites. Was talking with other people at the same time, not super efficient.
I timed the sites, for 4 of them it was less than 6min between enter system and loot commander, when alone. Faster when people were already doing it ^^

(also I realized the previous links were bad because the parsing was bad)

Yes, I do Huntmaster sites in Caldari low-sec space since it is only space where Huntmaster sites spawn beside Guristas null-sec region.

First few days I was running Hunt sites but then I figured out that Huntmaster sites offer much more rewards even if you lose several +150 mil ISK frigates. Here is what I’m talking about:

And beside that, Huntmaster sites give you higher tier Overseer effects. I got few 20 and 21 effects. You should give it a try.

I got 20 and 21 OPE in HS too.
Also gecko. But not expensive implant BPC.

Yeah, I don’t think I ever got overseer goods higher than 16 in my little corner of HS, but certainly lots of gecko blueprints, both BCS variations, skins, and a wide selection of the Valdimar-implants ranging from random 1% stuff to a 5% drone/fighter speed one. No doubt it was a very lucrative event in HS, too.

ok so here is the loot of the event I got. There may be mistakes because I also made ded sites, even though I believe I removed the loot from ded sites.

There was 57 OPE so I guess I ran total 57 sites
I was wrong, there was no 20/21 OPE only 19
total OPE is 397M estimated, real value 385 534 080 isk with 2.8% tax. so 6.75 M/site from OPE.

4 C3-A so 7%
2 geckos so 3.5%
19 korakos so 33%

time : 42 sites were done in 57+47+143+60+45+57+120+130= 659min so 3.8 sites per hour. from OPE only it means 25.8 M/h.

I started with enyo double rep (don’t have it anymore), then this enyo, then realized the range was missing, so went for jaguar since best profile and selectable damage ; but then range was still missing.

Going kiki was purfect, though a bit less of tank you wreck them so fast I only reached 30% armor once while not being cautious.
15km range on occult(CLOSE range), 38 on mystic means I was able to shoot from anywhere. No need to web when rats are in optimal at 35km and you have 200 tracking.
It lacks a bit of pwr so I could not go MCB + double rep but that was not needed. It’s like CCP said “okay we don’t care about balancing anymore, have fun” . I considered the T2 version, and was like… nah, it’s not bad, but it’s just worse than kiki.

edit : added the kiki
