1st of all i live in Period Basis, the loots you posted are nothing new to me. I guess you are jelly. And blocking the system name is pointless as a few search confirms that you are in Delve.

2nd, why would you compare hisec loots to nullsec ones, as ratting and plexing in alliance space is pretty much safe, sans cloaky campers and the occasional neut/red roams.

3rd Bhaalgorn BPCs are butter of Blood raider space which drops in the 7/10, 8/10, 9/10 and 10/10 escalations that alliance ratter run. And the occasional scannable plexes.

4th Those bhaalgorn BPCs can be obtained solo in the 7/10, and maybe the 810 but a bit difficult. The 9/10 and the 10/10 needs logistics, which means the profit is shared among the fleet. Unless you are one of my corp mate who has 4 toons that can solo 10/10s.

5th You are embarassing and jelly.

6th Actually I can dual box the blood 10/10 Cool

7th no u.

8th the pile of loot you posted is worth around 7b isk, rough estimate. OPEs included

9th the loot i posted is worth around 10b isk, opes not included. Conservative estimate.

10th You are in nullsec, better bounties, better plexes. Pretty low competition.

and lastly a CORP HANGAR Screenshot? You are embarassing indeed.

8) Your pile of loot is from two weeks of exploration, mine is what I happened to have in my carrier's hangar because I went out exploring today+last night Cool

9) I have no idea how much your loot is worth, and am far too lazy to count.

10) You have just posted a thread claiming exploration is broken, now you are claiming low/null sec is better than high sec for exploration. Sounds like it's working as intended to me.

*EDIT: Also, it's not a corp hangar, it's a carrier hangar. Hence the 10,000m3 limit. You know, a carrier? The big things pros move their ships around in.

What I love about this picture is the alliance FC calling for home defence and trying to persuade people to get in fleet while you're busy taking picture of your Plex loot to show to someone who is red to you on the forums LOL. That's really classic.

Interested in knowing how many hours it took you to collect all that. You said you did it in one day. Was it 1 hour? Were you up all night or somewhere in between?

The loot exist, you just have to learn how to find them. And be brave enough to venture out into the unknown.

Some of the loot i send to jita Loot

The rest of the loot Stash

This doesn't include the Pith A-type medium shield booster i managed to loot, coz i sold it.

Yup, Exploration is definitely broken.

I'll try to update this post of the total loot i have, including OPEs later.

I'm confused. You said you collected this in high/low sec but you say later in the thread that you live in PB. So was this collected in high/low sec or in Nullsec? Just curious.

I'm also curious how long it took you to collect all of this. Admittedly I don't rat very often and I've only run a hand-full of plexes in the last 6 years but from what I *have* done i've seldom seen faction rats and the ones I have seen have invariably dropped crap.

So I'm a little surprised that you claim to have collected all this in high/low sec in a couple of weeks. Was that 2 weeks of non-stop plexing or something?

I must admit it was quite a long session, scanned down the entire region twice last night, then again this morning since I had all the sigs written down. Takes a while, but I have a few toons with virtues, and once you've got all the crap signatures written down you can cover systems pretty fast.

Then once you find a plex it's just a matter of getting some combat toons there, jumping your ships in in a carrier and blitzing the sites. I kind of agree with the OP in one regard, exploration is broken in terms of risk. Once you're in the site, there is literally no risk due to the acceleration gates (excluding the 9/10 escalation ofc, which is ungated).

Sticking an alt off the gate means you can see if anyone lands, and if neuts come in you can just immediately start bouncing around safes or log off anyway. IMHO they should make it so more of the high EHP rats point you, it's become ridiculously easy to farm these things without putting any of your ships in danger.

Judging from the a-type medium/small boosters I'd say it was purely low/high sec exploration in Caldari space. Pretty doable in two weeks if you scan a lot, and skip the escalation complexes and crappy sigs.

Although why he waited two weeks to sell his loot is beyond me, since it's now going to take him another two weeks just to clear it all through contracts. Personally I just plex for a day or two, move it all to jita and then go PvP for a week while I wait for everything to sell.

Thanks for the open-hearted answer. I get so used to hearing sarcasm and ego-chest-thumping on the forums that I almost forgot that someone can give a straight answer to a straight question. That's pure win. :)

That's where I fail. I know some aspects of this game well but I'm a noob at ratting/plexing and I don't think I could distinguish between good sigs / escalations and crappy ones.

In reality, the vast majority of faction drops I get are from killing people who are running plexes LOL

Rofl, that works too Lol

I used to very carefully sneak a T3 and a bomber through the last room of the gurista 5/10 and cloak up just off the beacon. Then wait for people to come in and get aggro, decloak point web and deeps. Given the DPS in that room anyway most T3s died just because I was webbing them :D

But yeah, when it comes to signatures in all honesty if it's a rated site, run it. If it isn't a rated site, ignore it. Tiz really that simple :) Time wasted doing escalation sites is time you could be spending finding rated sites

Well.... inspired by this thread I went to low-sec and found a dead space complex and ran it. (actually i'm still in the system cloaked because this turned out to be some kind of faction warfare dry-humping region and the locals are really digging it this evening :)

A la.... The Dread Guristas Rat did show up but only dropped for a total haul of +/- 7000k (seven thousand) isk. Roll
