Hello

Today i tried to do a ghost site in wspace.... afaik these sites spawn rats some minutes after you warp to them and blow up the containers. Well so I warped to it, did a cargo scan (http://evepraisal.com/e/5014066) and tried hacking after the first two nodes (still full health, no offensive module yet) i got blown up from rats... well i wasnt there for 1 minute even... is it supposed to be so fast?

The timer starts after the first player warps to the site, they say only uncloaked ships count, so it's possible someone was there first and just warped off without hacking any cans or loitering.

As far as I know, I've run a couple btw, the timer is pretty short. Take friends and tank yourself out.

Can it be you drifted out of hacking range? Then the hack counts in as fail..

you need an extremly tanked ship. pref buffer t3. can explode after a minute indeed or so then rats spawn. and try to kill you. these sites are hard. can give great rewards. but hard to find aswell.

1 minute in W-Space is like an eternity in hell …

Like the others said - ghost sites are hard to find and hard to complete.

Do not go gentle into that good night,

though wise men at their end know dark is right,

rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Timer is random. Sometimes you get a couple minutes, sometimes far less.

Advice about cloaks is correct. You can give yourself a couple more seconds by warping in cloaked and decloaking shortly before you land.

The golden age of finding high grade ascendancies in every 2nd/3rd site though is over it seems. Last dozen or so I've ran are nothing but wetus, packrats and covert tools.

Depends on the site. The low-end stuff can be tanked in a well-tanked frigate. But the better ones require something a Stratios or T3. Or you can just MWD away as soon as the rats show up.
