Landed on grid, was instantly neuted out by the structures already on-site and the rats popped me before I got into warp.

Fact that I'm notoriously bad at PvE aside, I suggest you check out the site with a cloaky first. And maybe, just to be on the safe side, get something that can blap from afar in case you do need to bail.

The ship I lost was a Huginn. Yes it's replaced, No I haven't tried to run a gas site ever since-- I'd have to PvE for a month to earn it back OR I could blow up some poor random guys, steal their loot and call it a day. It was one of the easier decisions in PvE I've ever made.


You were unlucky and found a site with turrets that's called Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir if I remember well.

Every huffer knows it's to be avoided.

Gas huffing is very funny because of the risk of being caught and it's not very time consuming.

The only thing I struggle to do is to sell gas at a decent price in hisec.

I live between wormholes, lowsec and hisec so I really dunno if in nullsec it's easier to sell it anyway...



What? No

Null sec

NULL sec

NULL sec

There are no Ordinary Perimeter Reservoirs in null sec

Unless the guy was talking about wh space and doesn't know the difference between the two.



Mmm so maybe it's another kind of gas site.

I only did wormhole ones, so maybe it's not the ordinary perimeter or maybe he landed on a already ninjiaed place so he found the npcs already there...

Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir DEFINITELY rings a bell so unless they're all called alike, that's the one.

"The Guy" may perhaps not know jack sh!t about PvE but I do know the difference between WH and nullsec, thank you very much. ;-) The system in question was U-Q, in Catch bordering Curse.

Don't try and tell me there's no rats in there because there were. LOTS. I got alpha'ed off the field in a tanky cruiser; I saw no gas but I saw no drifters either. Come to think of it ... is it possible there's a combat site marked as gassite? I distinctly remember ordinary reservoir something something.....

Weird.

Again: Ordinary Perimeter Reservoirs only appear in wormhole space

The gas site you warped to was likely one of the guarded ones with hackable cans I mentioned before

Yes, maybe it's like that.

Anyway if you tried and it went bad, just try wormhole gas sites and if you want to be sure you can write the name of the site in this website:

You will have all the details about what you will find inside, enemies and so on.

They are. The sleeper sites anyway. They are all three words ending in reservoir. Barren perImeter reservoir, instrumental core reservoir, etc. And they are exclusive to wormhole space as Tsukino says.

It's okay guys, thanks for clarifying the matter. What I found was clearly not a gas site at all. Probably one of those hacking thingies; I now know I'm not supposed to see rats and if I do it's bad mojo.

I also didn't know how horrible rats can cheat- insta locking from all over the grid, neuting at laughable ranges with no regard for their own cap (they appear to have infinite reservoirs in fact); repairing ridiculous amounts of damage on unbonused ships, dual tanking to boot; yet never smartbombing, never fielding drones; propulsion speeds look totally random and more often than not only one tenth of what one would expect; their tracking is utter garbage yet their cruise missiles somehow hit..... I've even run into armageddons shooting lasers - dafuq? My oh my...

Yup, I've learnt a lot about PvE between then and now: just because it looks like a Phantasm doesn't mean it's anything like any Phantasm I've ever fought. Let's just say it's not my cup of tea but at least I now know where to get my gas: in a different site!

Sorry for the confusion guys. You've all been most helpful!
