Ok, first off, the E-UNI forums have some great threads chock full of info on Ghost Sites.

TLDR.

Null sec sites are the most dangerous and the cans do the most damage. Hi sec sites the least dangerous.

The cans do a massive Area Of Effect explosive damage within 10 km. YES THIS MEANS YOU CAN GET PODDED.

The cans detonate if you flub a hack OR THE TIMER RUNS OUT. So if you flub a hack and you are in a frig you probably lost the frig.....if the timer ends shortly after that you probably lost your pod.

The rats, AFAIK, do AT BEST around 300 dps thermal for about 30 seconds. Less in low or hi sec.

It is possible to do these sites in a frig if you are fast and lucky.

The timer does not start until you warp in. If you are cloaked up (covops) the timer does not start until u decloak.

Note that if SOMEBODY ELSE warps in uncloaked the timer just started. And the new sport in hisec seems to be intentionally blowing up the cans using a cheap ship (Velator, etc) to try and pop anybody trying to actually run the site.

If you can get your shield explosive resist over 97% you can survive the explosions in a frigate. Surviving the rats is another thing altogether.

The rats will point and web you.

The loot is worth the risk. Even the hisec sites average around 30 mill in loot for all 4 cans.

THE LOOT IS WORTH THE RISK.

Best ships to use seems to be ships with inherent shield tank bonuses (which means most Caldari).

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
