VNI Ratting

it happens only with the armor build that I get constantly attacked, and not with the shield build, here only once or twice per site… so

~200times with armor build per 20min slower afterburner… ~1-4times with shield build

forsaken / forlorn

Part of NPC aggro and target selection is based on sig size. Your shield fit probably increases your sig and makes you a more desirable target.

NEVER DO forlorns. They ultra suck. They are trash, no exception. same reward as normal sites( or actually a bit less), however the rats have double the resist, web, points, they are faster and have better apply. NEVER DO THEM.

indeed, rats have a magical 6th sense that allow them to know what is your sig.

100ab shield fit - speed tank at 30k orbit - hardly ever attack drones

I tried a few forlorns - lost several T2 drones faster than I could recall them.

Maybe it’s been changed though.

lost one, but not worth the effort.

I do sites in multiple shield vni sometimes.Rats haven’t attacked my drones in months it’s just warp in chose object to orbit launch drones never worry

Back in late dec early Jan, I never had an issue losing drones in any forlorn or hideaway. And this was serpentis rats… Armor tank, plus I’d only stay about 15km from a center point of field

perhaps I need to get closer with the armor fit vni. every 20 min one or up to 4 drones have been attacked yesterday, using shield vni.

how can I get my sig higher besides afterburner, mwd, firing weapons or fitting shields?

An afterburner wont increase your sig, a MWD will increase your sig to the size of a battleship or bigger.

ah okay, but speed seems to increase npcs willingness to prioritize you as a target … mixed that up
