What happened to d-scan, warp sabre to 0, kill venture? You guys are wormholers and scan for your supper anyway. Last I checked, warp strength didn't matter against bubbles. Granted, its a frigate with a fast align, but it will either not stick around when the probes go out or it will die.

Also, confirming w-space is SO broke nowadays. No one makes any money in w-space anymore. In fact, everyone is moving out of W-space and coming to live in null. W-holes are so broken now, SO BROKEN, I tell you, because of ninja-mining ventures!

So I love semi-afk gas harvesting vitals and instrumental cores, till now I wasn't caught yet. SO basically everything cruisersized can't tackle you because to slow, a bomber can't kill you with a bomb even when standing still, sabres dpn't bother you cause you're a god bit faster.

Just the combination of shuttle'esque align time, 3km/s mwd speed and +2 warpcore strength make it really hard to gank (unless stupid / really afk / dscan glitched / client times out)).
The only venture I lost yet, was cause a barren ladar bookmark turned out to be an ordinary.

The ship really is great, but given it's use inside a wormhole, has maybe to many advantages for exactly that region.

Big issue is also that this 500k frig has a highslot and the cpu to fit a tech I cloak...

Off topic a bit, but why haven't drug booster prices dropped if gas harvesting is so popular now? Perhaps there's more risk in low sec, but you're based there I'd think your guys would eat that stuff up at 20-40 million a site.

Don't lowsec clouds do Venture-destroying damage waves? Or am I completely off base?

though i have not mined low sec gas in ages. yes the low and null gass clouds do some damage when you mine from them

Ninja mining/gas harvesting frigate is good at ninja mining/gas harvesting so its BAD?

When I referred to warping sabre to 0, I was assuming you'd have a fleet following (sabre au/second warp is much higher than average ship).

FYI, sebo'd stealth bomber with scram would also work. Stealth bomber has no delay from targeting, so you should be able to point and scram a venture in time for the cloaky rapier/dps to get there.

Yes, I know, its a ridiculously cheap ship. Hence why I said warp in a sabre at 0, so you can be sure to get pods.

Sadly, I am currently in null sec for friendship's sake. I have come to a place where I play this game about people, not play styles. I like the current group of guy's I'm with, so I'm bro'ing it up in Null Sec for a bit with my current corp. I do have plans to return to the holes though soon(tm), and have a crew ready to launch at my word, but I have other commitments in game and they have real life to sort out first so.... No, I have not tried to kill this elusive venture. I just find all the crying about it... unbecoming of you all, as wormholers.

Wormholers are l33t and epic compared to the rest of EVE . We have skill sets the average player does not have, and we are shadowy ninja masters of gank that appear from nowhere, burn down a whole bunch of ****, and then leave. I know wormholers as intrepid enterprisers... I'm sure you can think of a way to efficiency murder ventures and be on your way.

With the venture out (no nerf on the horizon), and gas prices dropping, I don't think it should be easier to harvest gas(ninja harvesting clouds without taking aggro from sleepers). Another reason is it takes the risk out of using shiny ships to clear the sleepers....a potential PVP aspect that is getting harder to find.

CCP May have fixed ninja harvesting. Couple of corpmates (who know how to make ninja and bounce locations) had sleepers aggro when they were ninja harvesting an instrumental. Had this happen to us today as well. Had to warp out and grab the tengus.

So if CCP has fixed it, then thats awesome. If CCP hasnt fixed ninja harvesting and sleeper aggro in ladars is broken... dont fix it.

Please excuse my corpmate, he's terrible at eve. Apparently someone thinks being at 110k's is a ninja. I suspect the cloud they were at was partially gassed out across downtime so the cloud shrunk.

A couple of guys in our alliance have also confirmed sleeper aggro even 140/150 k's out. So it looks like they fixed the ninja gas harvesting. Stock up your gas lads, gas prices are going to go through the roof the next couple of days.

Curious. Which gas sites have you confirmed this at, because other corpmates have done it since patch day without problems, in both instrumentals and vitals.

Confirming that sleepers aggro 140km in an instrumental after being properly set up.

I am glad that this got fixed, gives us more reward for our efforts.
Just wish they would put ninja fixes like this in patch notes.

people are actually filling your jita buy orders? or people in your hole.

Oh Haay Havok.

Still got that gas to sell me? :P

For your sexy australian self I would love to sell you my gas as long as you admit to drinking Fosters.
