EVE General Discussion

Hey every one,

If any one has ever been interested in NPC convoy raids, they probably have looked up the guide on how to do it properly. What the guide doesn't say and what I haven't been able to find is a list of loot from the convoys. So I am comprising a list of convoy loot. I'm scanning every convoy I come across in the eve world and listing it by System, Planet/Moon, Faction, incoming or outgoing, and what the convoy is hauling.

Reason im doing this...i found that some of the convoys drop basic commodities in large amounts. By large amounts i mean, i have a factory planet that makes coolant and the factories eat up 6400 water in 20 hours. it usually takes me 19 hours (plus or minus)to get the water necessary from other planets... one of the convoys i attacked dropped 7k+ water. There after, every 1hr or so it was dropping any where between 3K and 8K water. why wait 19 hours when i can get it every hour or so... right?

I'm looking for other people who have done the same. Please contact me in-game so we can exchange notes. I'm sure some of you will be interested.

i should probably include a list of systems i already checked

Ignore this man ↑.
NPC haulers spawn across each constellation regular as clockwork, they drift out to 100km from undock, turn back, another undocks, drift out to 100 again, this process repeats until convoy is complete, then they all align to destination. Once they are 100km from departure station they disappear, to reappear at destination within a few minutes.
If the convoy is from Corp A and arriving at a station owned by Corp B, you can shoot them without station gun aggro, if both stations are same corp you will get aggro. Some people shoot em all in a BS then scoop loots with an alt or friend.
When they arrive at destination they will be close and travelling at their top speed, so you'll need to be on the ball, still takes em a few minutes to dock.
I used to do L2 missions waiting for the convoys, then shoot em all across a few systems and feed my pos with the loots, made a pretty penny selling silicon and transmitters.
Got to 800m profit after pos food taken out, and -10 with Wyrkomi.
Then pos fuel blocks came in, the NPC convoy loot was nerfed to bread, dildos and worthless trash and i monkey slammed my PC as another source of isk was CCP'd.

PS Don't shoot haulers from CONCORD stations, so forget Genesis.

Yeah, there was a time this was lucrative given the difficulty factor. It was even daring and dashing and pretty cool and stuff. But, yeah, when it gets down to the actual loot part, it becomes meh.
