However i used to run Rogue Drone hordes in my Nyx. Just for fun. You know it's funny: Nyx starts to need its primary tank (armor) only after 3-4 horde in a row. Passive shield amount and regen is simply toooooo strong Big smile

I used to run 10/10 escalations with my Tengu(4-5 billions in stuff) + Machariel (2-3 billions) + Nightmare (1-2 billions). Was i needing all those ISKies? Nope. At all. I just made fit which fits into my tasks and used it. Many times i wanted to check if i can replace something in tengu (Gist-X type fitted tank) to make it less expensive. But.... Every time it is too lazy to try and risk. Big smile

Sometime ISKies aren't so important......

Yeah, I ran a few sanctums/havens in a Wyvern once. Rats didn't even break the passive recharge :D Was ridiculously boring though, I ended up giving up anomalies and just doing exploration purely because I couldn't sit down and do them for more than an hour at a time.

Anomalies and dead space sites differ somewhat to mission running though, if you've got any sense you'll be running anomalies in a system that doesn't have any blues you don't know in and dead space... well, it's gated. It isn't hard to stick an alt on the gate. Running around high sec in a 36 billion ISK ship with an active wardec however, that kind of stupidity isn't even in the same league as sticking a bit of x-type on your plexing fits Lol

Besides, 5 or 6 billion isn't a great amount. Hell, you can make a billion or more clearing a single c3 if you take the time to find a decent one. And if you're in a decent alliance that controls an entire region you can earn 5-6b in a day pretty easily with exploration, just by systematically scanning, jumping in ships and blitzing sites.

In comparison 36 billion ISK on a ship means that if you ever do lose the ship, it probably isn't going to have paid for itself. Especially not if you were using it to run level fours.



That's a good point. I have a exploration fit BC that has paid for itself 20 times over.

I cannot unwrap my fixation from the idea of a 26B ISK ship, and what that is supposed to mean, and wonder if this is supposed to be the end game - an uberpimped shiney.

Or are such modules merely valuable only for the fact that those with less skills can use them?

Thats a great sig Dirk.
