Ships & Modules

3/10

500mil? not hard, you can make that a day missioning if you really want to.
or you can run incursions for 4 hours.
or like, 10min of site running in C5-6 WHs.

Usually with sentry drones. And its not "ratting" as that term is used for shooting stuff in asteroid belts, carriers are used in anomalies, these are the Hubs and Havens and Sanctums you can find using ship built in scanner thingy.

As far as 500 m / d goes its doable depending on your playtime. Farming anoms for about 5 hours should do the trick. It's just that its even more mind numbingly boring than missions as there is no variation at all. You just do the same thing over and over and over again which is the most suitable in your region for your setup.

isk/ h wise there is no difference really if you are farming them in a pirate battleship / marauder or carrier. If you are still thinking about training carrier go gallente, they are usually considered best carrier for pve.

It is possible :



I've seen similar fits going around in Havens in Nullsec and cleaning them in about 12 minutes.
Earning something around 30-35m per tick. That's around 100m/hour.
So if you play quite a lot, 500m/day is definately doable.

For specifics, with "All L5", 1339 DPS, permarunning Cap Repper, even though it's actually not useful. You activate the repper like once every 5 minutes if the rats even get to scratch your armor.
Both Drone control range and Sentry optimal is 104km.

Warp to 70km of any given Hub/Haven, launch drones (set on aggressive), go grab a coffee or something.

Now I understand why Carriers keep dying while doing anomalies

The "go grab a coffee" part was a joke, in case that wasn't obvious...

So for those with no sarcasm/irony :
Of course, watch an eye on Local / intel channels and get the **** out if anything comes as near as next door from where you rat.

And if you don't do that, you're a clueless idiot.

And btw you should never get in anoms in a carrier in lowsec.
Nullsec is ok a slong as you have intel channels to check for non-blue activity.

Seriously if you're getting tackled in Nullsec while carrier-ratting, you shouldn't fly a carrier.

shield sentry artillery navy domi would probably clear the fastest tbh

Just curious, have not been out in null in awhile, but last time I was out there the ABC were ok (maybe this is asperpentis only thing), but their weak tank was a pain on anomolies, alos don't you have problems on any one that has cruisers and smaller, unless you are leaving those behind, but then sites do not restart? It would seem that 30+ mil is the absolute optimal and any variance could cost you time.

The carrier has more DPS and can apply near full amount to its max range, it also can flip to smaller drones to clear the trash.

Also have never undertood the obssession over a carrier kill, a faction fit pirate BS is much pricer and no insurance, the BS is more agile obviously.

any T2 sentry carrier with 3 drone damage mods in the low, 2x omni's in the mids and 2 x drone links in the high. Put 2 sebo's in the mids to make targeting quicker. I used to use a chimera for this. 13 sentries will apply damage far better than fighters or even a bs flirting about. Its faster that using a mach in angel space as the mach needs to move around, its not affected by TD in amarr space.

For anyone who lived in Nullsec long enough, it's a known fact that Nullsec is actually a LOT safer than empire, be it high/low sec.
And it's gonna be even worse in Odyssey with the whole "Trade tags for sec status".

Empire's actually gonna become the most dangerous place in New Eden (But it's kind of intended anyway, as an incentive to drive people away from Empire into Low/Null sec)
