Title: Ratting made easy.
Post by: Thrawn on July 28, 2008, 04:32:07 AM
Hate grinding rats for hours in our fairly poor space just to pay for a battlecruiser to get blown up in PvP in seconds?  Do it the easy way!  Just kill one rat, get him to drop this -

Then go buy/fit/insure a few battleships (or a fleet of smaller ships) and be on your way!  You can thank me later for the advice.

Hold onto that warp scrambler - it will be worth a relative fortune in a couple weeks :)

Yep, the web and scrambler were already worth a fortune, even before the nanonerf possibility.

If you want me to rorqual-jump those back up to Kheram for you then let me know and we can arrange a handover.  I'll be moving stuff up tonight or tomorrow.

That reminds me that I have a Blood Raider warp scrambler somewhere in Providence too.  Very nice!

True Sansha drops are ridiculous.  When we first moved to Providence, I would get a couple spawns a week with decent loot.  Now I'm lucky to get any to spawn and I have no faith that it will drop anything.  I'm on a four or five TS streak with nada for loot.  The one I got yesterday had a bounty worth 8 times the value of the loot.  I AM A SAD PANDA.  You earned twice as much in that drop as I earned in a marathon 12 hour ratting session yesterday, loot sales included.

Congratulations on that drop, but you'll be seeing more of me in the morning now that you've broken the curse.   :grin:

Oh I know exactly what you mean.

I did a very long ratting session on one of my days off last week and in one kill this morning I make more then I did all day probably.

Last week I killed THREE TS ships in one day, my total COMBINED profit off all of them was probably <10mil isk.  My last dozen TS kills combined probably didn't equal this one lucky pop.

I just got very lucky this morning and hit the TS jackpot.  :awesome_for_real:

Hold onto that tower BPC, by the way.  I want to collect Sansha BPCs for corp use.

 :ye_gods: Already put it up, I can quite often sell my TS BPC's around Provi no problem without having to haul them up to Empire.

I've only ever seen one TS spawn in my prov ratting. Then again, I haven't ever put in a 12 hour ratting session either.

There was one night where we spawned three (?) within an hour - and they all dropped something worthwhile.

I'm pretty sure I was really drunk and licking toad that night, because it seems like a complete fantasy in retrospect.

Did you actually do that because it is awesome: post it on Eve-O.  Just make sure you put a little signature in the bottom right.

If you didn't do that then the guy should have put a little signature bottom-right :D

That's awesome.  I'd stick it in Eve General Discussion if I was you.  You should put in an embedded version and a link, for those with images turned off.

Can you provide a link to a host that's not blocked by websense?  I want to post it on GF.
