2pm: my time start scanning for complexes. Find wormholes, belts, etc etc etc...AHA!!!

3:30pm: Found a nice complex so risk bringing my 3bil Tengu in along in nulsec, crossing through blind gates and an untold number of dangers.

5:15pm: Complete Complex. Jump home to get a salvager and make room for loot.

5:30pm: Jump back and the jumpgate is gone!
Not a f*cking dollor to my name!(drones)

This is not fun! And this is not the first time this has happened. In fact it happens all the freaking time!

Stupidest f***ing S*** Ever!

Sorry for the rant but this is no way to motivate a person. I'm sure I'll laugh about this tomorrow but today I feel like throwing my monitor at CCP.

Bookmark a wreck in each room. They despawn, but you can warp directly to the wrecks once that happens.

bookmark the wrecks.

edit: how do you manage to earn 4bil for a tengu without ever learning to bookmark your stuff?

I should buy an Ishtar.

No I don't think you can bookmark the wrecks. Once the gate is gone it's gone unless someone is in it.

Ok then if the wrecks can be bookmarked then they can be scanned down. Let's see.

No, they cannot be scanned down. But yes, they can be bookmarked. I always do this. Hell, I did it between this post and my first one. It works.

But no scanning. If you really, really want that stuff, get your dscan going like crazy and get in a very fast ship.

I can't tell if you're being intentionally dense or if you're just stupid.

It is completely possible to BM wrecks, despite the fact that wrecks can't be scanned down. You do know that right clicking something after your probed it down isn't the only way to BM stuff, right? (TBH, I have a feeling it's one of the least used ways to BM stuff, overall)

Also, site despawning mechanics are very well known and actually pretty well documented. Have you been living under a rock?

Works the same way in missions. Mark a wreck...

or do what every competent explorer does and put a salvager on your tengu?
not like you need to salvage very many wrecks.

1.5 hours to scan down a plex? Almost 2 hours to complete it? In a 3 bil ISK Tengu!? "Wrecks can be scanned"?!?

OP, please mothball your Tengu, get in a frigate, join E-Uni or something and learn how Eve works.

I'm going to assume you took the mastercard way to that Tengu.

Bookmark a wreck in each room, the site will despwan but the wrecks will remain, all shiny and impossible to be probed down. It's standard procedure for looting missions/complexes.

I lied :o
