Auria McGlennen Void.Tech FreiTek Heavy Industries 0	Posted - 2011.10.10 16:46:00 - [1] - Quote I've been doing a lot of reading about WSpace now that our corp is active in it, however I cannot find anything regarding soloing Sleepers in stealth bombers. Do sleepers follow the same tracking principles as other battleships (ie BS rats in belts)? I can solo BS rats on belts and in missions just fine if they're alone (no frigates), but will sleepers be a different story? The site I'm looking at is a C4 anomaly w/ two Sleeper BS.
Karl Planck Labyrinth Obtaining Chaotic Kangaroos 7	Posted - 2011.10.10 16:49:00 - [2] - Quote No it is no possible (least not for c4's and probably not for anything over c1's). Sleepers are fast, the small ones will kill you and the tracking of sleepers is much much better than null rats

CCP Phantom C C P C C P Alliance 14	Posted - 2011.10.10 17:13:00 - [4] - Quote Hello Auria McGlennen, as it was already pointed out, it is not feasible to solo C4's in a Stealth Bomber. However, you can at least solo run the lower class wormholes, for example by using the infamous Drake. Other ships work of course as well. If you have set your mind on doing a successful solo run and if that is your goal for now in EVE, then you can have a lot of fun. Not only are the Sleepers an opponent not to be taken lightly but also the challenges of nullsec space and additionally no local channel can make it a worthwhile experience!

FloppieTheBanjoClown The Skunkworks 106	Posted - 2011.10.10 20:31:00 - [5] - Quote Only thing I've seen anyone reliably solo a C4 in, is a Tengu. I wouldn't recommend even using a bomber in a C1, those frigates would murderize you and your lack of a tank.
grumpyguts1 Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 2	Posted - 2011.10.10 20:33:00 - [6] - Quote Just to add.. since the neuting has been fixed, it is alomst impossible to solo C4 anoms. Used to be able to in a decent fit Tengu. Guess you could possibly run a C4 anom in a carrier :)

If it's not too much to ask, ignore any Sister's Core probes you see on d-scan too.

Don't need probes to find anoms just use your on board scanner silly. Anomalies yes. Signatures (Magno+Radars) not. btw C4 sigs contain alot of warp disrupting sleepers. Even if you see the probes in your carrier, you are in big trouble.
Dradius Calvantia Creative Cookie Procuring Rote Kapelle 32	Posted - 2011.10.16 08:32:00 - [16] - Quote Meh.. two ways to do it IMO. Either use T1 core probes (not the sisters) in order to get in to the site early and hope that the mission runner did not see them, or just assumes it was a noob scout on his tutorial mission. Or, use sisters combats and land at zero on your target hoping that your target does not have time to warp out before you get there. In either case, if your probes are on their scan for more than 10-15 seconds.. you are doing it wrong. Which method you use depends a lot on your fleet comp (if your using bombers or other ships that you do not want to have sleepers shooting at, then you are getting into the site at range and waiting till he finishes.) Personally, I have more success using cores on site runners, and combats on miners. Of course, people running combat sites are just stupid easy to catch.

If it's not too much to ask, ignore any Sister's Core probes you see on d-scan too. What are you doing using core probes trying to catch people? Because people tend to ignore core probes whereas combat probes spook them (Don't ask me why, there's lots of stupid people out there)... combat probes work well too but I've found that people very often ignore core probes. Why? No idea... but they do. Scan sites down, check sites cloaked, tackle pilot who didn't safe up when probes not belonging to him are on scan, call in DPS, kill pilot's shiny toy, loot & salvage.... profit. Been a while since I went WH hunting... I should probably start doing that again ;) Blackwatch Website \| My Blog "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.-á He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

And as mentioned in a C4 sites you scrammed a lot of the time.. so you pretty screwed if a crew jumps you. You could hope for the sleepers to switch to the attackers, but sadly this doesn't happen fast enough. So basically if a PVP crew want you and they are in a better fleet, which they will be otherwise the not going to egress, you're dead That said, always have an alt in the hole that can get you back in when you podded...

A Dev just admitted the Drake is op! NERFBAT NAO I figure ur trolling, but the Drake is prefered for PVE (especially in WH) due to range with HLs, no cap needed for them, and a decent shield buffer. Also, ive soloed C1 and C2 back in the day with AF's. OP should try them out in that.
Comy 1 Ore Mongers Indecisive Certainty 43	Posted - 2011.10.18 05:53:00 - [20] - Quote Tengus will solo C4 anomalies and sites. I would however avoid the radar/mag sites with the quad safeguard spawn if you are in there alone. I have done this myself in my active tanked Tengu after the neut fix, even if I rather do it with friends since solo grinding is really boring. Neuts do hurt if you let them, but a smart player will find ways to outsmart the sleepers.
iNFoRMaLiTY11 Lone Star Exploration Narwhals Ate My Duck 3	Posted - 2011.10.18 09:42:00 - [21] - Quote Im going to do a shameless plug for my CEO. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=6479 Thats some useful reading. My 2 cents: Soloing is possible in decently fitted ship in lower class wormholes, battlecruisers (drake is not the only solution), HACS, T3-s something in the lines of that. Please understand that WH space was meant as one of the many options in EvE for "end game" PvE activity. As a mmo "end game" is in its essence an activity that is massivly more efficient if there are multiple players compared to solo solutions. There are tons of wh corporations and alliances that are looking for more players. Try The Night Crew, Aperture Harmonics, Lone Star Exploration, K162, Narwahls Ate my Duck or just check the forum recruitment threads. Good corps tend to do more of the "sweet and tasty" sites and sometimes use capital escalations for better isk and soloers/tiny corps tend to do the leftovers, lower classes and garbage sites. Same goes for pvp activities. There are many pvp focused wh corps/alliances. And yes solo is an option too but its the question of effectivness and reason. Its an mmo, team up, kick butt and chew bubblegum.

Go run a mag site in your carrier and I'll show you what I'm doing with those core probes You'll still be much better off using combats for 2 reasons 1: Carrier is FAT and should only take 1 scan at 4 - 8au 2: MAGs are one of the hardest to scan down. Use D-scan to see where he is, find a rough distance, drop probes off of scan, flash him once with probes and recall instantly, fleet warp fleet to 0 (assuming you've got the right fleet composition)

The site I'm looking at is a C4 anomaly w/ two Sleeper BS. 1) a single stealth bomber would lack the DPS to kill a frigate in most c4 sites, let alone a battleship. C4 sites have lots of RR. 2) Even if the RR didnt prevent you from killing the bs, death by all the BS's escorts would. I cant off the top of my head think of a C4 site that doesnt have at least SOME cruisers and/or frigates, and I live in a C4. Also, since in a C4 even the bs will scram, web, and nos you (all from extreme range i might add), you will quickly be toast.
