completely ******* tired of losing ships in these so called "Ghost sites" that explode after a set amount of time, or failed hacking attempt.

they should rename these ******* sites to GHOST SITE not a ******* combat site... so far i have lost 2 asteros to this bullshit... thats 100M a pop... im about ready to ******* quit this game because of this message from a gm.

In this game, ships are supposed to explode. Would honestly have been better if PVE was generally more likely to make your ship explode.

Then don't do them. jesus I've never even seen one. You actually have to go looking for them. Use a cruiser or something else that has a higher absolute hitpoint number given that explosions are probably absolute in hitpoint amounts and stop using faction stuff if you can't afford to lose it.

So you ignored the trailers and also didn't try a cautious approach to new pve content (overtank if you don't know what you are getting into, fly a ship that you can afford to lose) and now come here with watery eyes. Why, after being blown up the first time, you didn't realize that maybe you need to be more cautious or try a different approach?

Posting GM correspondence is, i think, not allowed by the way.

if you are not looking for them and you find one, just warp out.

and yeah, would be nice if the site type would be listed on the scan.

Some of the oldest, but still best advice I've ever heard in this game is.
Don't ever fly a ship you can not afford to lose.

And that's a fact Jack!

let me get this straight, you lost a 100m astero in a ghost site, so you decided to buy another one for 100m and lose it in a second ghost site???

Astero's are not good for ghost sites. You need something with some tank.

I understand your feelings about the Ghost Site. I feel the same way about a lot of the changes recently made to exploration, especially the hacking sites. I detest the mini 'click fest' hacking game and definitely hate the 'Loot Spew' afterwards.

I love exploration and I use to always run the hacking sites but due to CCP changing those sites I now just ignore them. The same goes for the new 'Ghost Sites' recently added, just ignore them. I don't like having Gravimetric (Ore) Sites removed from Cosmic Signatures and added to Cosmic Anomalies. In fact, I also don't like having Ice Fields moved to Cosmic Anomalies. Ice Fields should have been moved to Cosmic Signatures.

Since we're on this subject, I also don't like the automatic recall of Scan Probes or the fact that the Sensor Scan Sweep shows all available sites without even launching a Scan Probe.

Yeah, I still do exploration but now I just bypass those sites. In my opinion those sites aren't worth the time to run them.

The Astero is a great little ship for all the sites except ghost sites, it simply doesnt have a tank for the explosion, You might survive a high one but going lower then that and the explosions will do more damage.

If exploration is your passion and you want to do all the sites in one ship, buy either a strategic cruiser and switch to tank with mobile depot or go for the stratios.

You might also want to do some research before jumping into something unknown. The first i did in a legion with 90% omni tank, went half shields the second i did in a buffer tank omen en went half armor. Guessing the damage is pretty random to.

Good luck anyway bro, dont give up.

Yeah bro don't give up just get a tankier ship or equip a cargo scanner and see if the any of the hacking containers are worth going for, definitely saves the grief.

Also I'm not sure you're allowed to post GM responses on the forums so I would edit that out just incase.

Just think of it, you have the power to make a difference. No longer a low EHP, juicy target, your Noob may actually learn how to tank!

Can anybody confirm this isn't just a forum alt?

I am willing to pay 100 Million ISK for a killmail of the OP, as long as said killmail is worth more than that.
A new one, of course. Offer invalid if this is just a pointless forum alt.


Merry Christmas.

This.

You took Astero's into Ghost sites? Kinda silly, dontcha think? There have been numerous threads about the damage to expect, and if you failed to tank that amount conservatively you really can't get pi$$ed at CCP for that. Of the sites I've bothered with I use a Gnosis or low-sec fit Loki for them, and never have a single issue.

If you're not ready knowing full well what happens (considering all of the community talk about them), it's YOU that's failing, not CCP or the devs.
