_________________________________________

Finished all 4 kinds of cosmic signatures with some effort but no warping out ^o^

Low-Grade Crystals and some sort of siege booster make C4s a total joke to solo though.

As much as people will jeer, I carry 2 web drones and 2 large target painter drones to help me blap the cruisers that orbit at 15kms, they make a HUGE difference.



JUST thought I would share cause when I first expressed interests in wormholes people said it could never be done :X But i did it at the low low cost of 3 billion isk (my actual fit is quite a bit shinier pushing 6 bil, thank you pre-nerf incursions ^o^)

They say there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. This may teeter somewhat on the edge, but I say it's brave! Fair play. How long is it taking to do the sites?

That's the big question?

Also you must be a little low on skill(s) somewhere, you can use your same fit but with T2 Co-Pro and T2 Reactor without implants, saving around 80/90 mill.

Running anoms in a c4 solo with a 3b ship is...... not smart to say the least. Seeing that almost every person who lives in a WH is flying around in a cloaky something or other your chances of survival are slim at best.


But, here's to you large balled man.

That is ballsy, guess the ASBs get you through the quad safeguard wave that would otherwise neut you out and kill you rather nastily.

I've never timed the C4 sites i don't do them often, it was more of a "prove i can" I can run and salvage 5 C3s in an hour though ^o^

Also I have low-grade crystals so no implants for me :/

You also CAN run C4, or even C5, site in a 100mn Tengu.
Dosnt make it a good idea...

Out of morbid curiousity, you can tank all the anomalies with a single asb running right? Allowing you to cycle one while the other reloads?

Absolutely! A decent tengu (not a cheap thing) can solo all sites in C4 and C5 w-systems. Of course, being a solo sub-cap, that doesn’t include the capital spawns … and I never spawned one to test. It’s absolutely do-able but not quick and not pretty … and not better isk-per-picosecond than soloing C3 sites.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Yup, Ancillary shield boosters are stronger then Pith X-Type X-Large Shield Boosters.

So having 2 (to counter reload time) and then swapping back and forth is optimal.
(A cap booster can only last 40 seconds constantly pumping out charges and with a reload time that can leave you with 20 seconds of no tank if you dont correctly space them out)

And there I was in my 6 billion mack just minding my own business. I didn't even care the sleepers had me scrammed, I was making isk in a hardcore top of the line way. I was the man and the sleepers be daxxxx.


And there I was scouting in a C4. I hadn't had much practice at combats but somewhere in this system there was a mack not at a tower. I didn't want to let the fleet down but honestly it was taking at least 2 minutes to pin a battleship. I felt the fool but finally there it was (green) why had this guy stayed so long? Was he not paying attention, who knew who cared I was going to be the hero and that mack be daxxxx.

I have no ******* clue what you just said... O.O
Also, bring it on *****, Big Machintosh has been through incursion node crashes, null hotdrops, getting stranded in a C3 without a pilot, suicide gank attempts, and of course a pansy ass Proteus who think they can break my tank before I web and squash them /)^3^(\ (just wish I had room for a web AND a scram on my PvE fit :<)

>The whole point of this wormhole adventure is for me to get Big Machintosh killed so I'm forced to fly something else for a change. But at this point I've made enough money to replace him twice so :/

If you've got enough manouverability to kite the neut/web range of the guardians you'd probably be ok, tho you'd have to clear any frigs that could catch you first... it would also take a minimum of 40 minutes to clear 6x sleeper guardians with a 100MN tengu.

You'd die in seconds if something got you webbed tho - somewhere in the region of 3700dps from 6x guardians if they can fully apply it.

It was a reference to getting aggro from a first stage capital escalation spawn. :)
