WH Ladar sites do have rats, which tend to spawn a few minutes after you start harvesting the clouds. Compared to the combat sites, the rats are pushovers, but they are sleepers and they are more than adequate to take down a few ill-prepared huffers.

Edit: At least, I know for a fact that c5 WH ladar (and grav) sites have sleepers. I would assume that lower-end ladar sites also have sleeper spawns, but I don't know that from personal experience.



both types of mining site in WH's have a minor sleeper presence
a solo HAC or Gila can deal with C4 sites, possibly a C5 too
your biggest threat will be other players, not the sleepres

Kills

Any idea if the last two guys were paying attention? The Rupture/ACII kill I can see pretty easily if they weren't using DScan. That thing would shred a Venture, but the drones? Granted, you could uncloak next to them, but you still need to target them, deploy drones, and issue a command. Did you cap the Venture out? I would have loved to see a video of these kills.

Sad panda that the Noctis BPC was destroyed but not the Navitas BPC.


I think some of the pilots were day dreaming or something.

The damage from my drones is pretty high and they wrere capped out.

Thanks again for the answers, too.

Yes, I was wondering about the Rupture-kill, too - I would think you should have plenty of time to run from a Rupture when you pay attention. And the Venture fit in the last kill looks a bit more suited for Highsec then Lowsec to me. Well, will make sure to visit Elarel and see if you can catch me, too, Otto :)

Yes, my fit was pretty similar to yours, Mire Stoude - I didn't fitted a Surveyscanner, though, because of the fast cycle times of the Mining Lasers I wouldn't mind if an asteroid depletes. And I had put an extra Warp Core Stabilizer instead of the Mining Upgrade in the Low Slot - maybe a bit too paranoid. ;)

Ok, will try the AB circle thing next time and see if I can avoid the getting killed from the rats that way. Thanks again, all!
