Not if you are paying attention.
When they appear on D-Scan, get wary. When Grid even twitches, you should be ready to warp.
Ventures should be orbitting, and Procs aligned and tanked.
Its pretty standard safe mining practise.

They cannot lock while warping, the crump and flash is more than enough warning. They also will spend time in warp if they havent literally spawned on you (which I have no evidence for happening).
Your Procs should have more than enough tank to withstand these relatively weak Trigglies. Their webs will help you warp faster, if they have them.

The thing I love is that they don’t automatically add new NPC ships to the Overview.
WTF is attacking me??

Evehermit went hunting them with a Stratios. He said he couldn’t catch up with them using only D-Scan. He had to use probes.
His Stratios had 21K EHPS and could not tank the incoming damage.
He recommends using a battle cruiser (a probe using Gnosis) to hunt them.
Alpha clones can only use Ventures, Procurers require an Omega account, hmm…

These NPC are too much! I have been hunting them all morning in a faction Cruiser that is a 750M isk fit. I even tried hunting them in a HAC but they put out too much DPS for it.
The dang Trig NPC spawn the second I kill them, the just keep respawning none stop!
This killing miners and mineral/ore production but is not like CCP did not know that. I person thanks CCP does not care about miners and industrial players at all. If this limits your game play as miner, speak with your wallets, come the forum to post about, bad mouth Eve to everyone you know that plays games and tell the Devs any way you can how you feel about the change!
CCP won’t care till it hurt their bottom line, period!

Why are you happy about this? These things are a pest. People can’t even mine properly anymore. Even if we are actively mining.

Stage 4 of the operation is as Id anticipated.
Stage 5… well now, what could it be?

I’ve heard that CCP is monitoring what’s happening and can make adjustments. Send them your feedback.

The Triglavians deal their usual Therm/Exp damage, but beware of the “Majorana Light Missiles” from the Recon ships, as they deal a high amount of EM/Kinetic. So basically you’ll need an omni tank for them.
The value of the Salvage Loot is going down, so income isn’t impressive but better than solo mining I think.

Cuz it’s making me money salvaging them after my Orca kills them.
Blood Raider FOB has been more of a problem.

you can’t be always aligned. It’s just not possible.

Forever is a long time.
If set to 1-10m/s and Align command, they dont stay aligned?
1 Like
no
In that case you could as well stay at 0 m/s
When people say aligned, they mean be at 75% speed, toward a warpable object.
The only way to do that for a longer time is to fit a higgs on your ship, and make couples of interwebbing procs (with ff on). The higgs reduces your max speed to *0.25 and the web to *0.4 so it divides your max speed by 10 : a proc would thus go from 200 m/s to 20, which means it can remain aligned at 15 m/s. It thus can remain longer in the range of its target before needing to aligned toward something else.
But really, the “remain aligned” is a myth, just as “never AFK mine”. There will be moment where you can’t align (already happened to me). remember that the roids are not in a single position, you need to travel from the first to the last in eg a crescent moon belt, and this implies that you may not be able to align towards a warpable entity.
