Kaaii Caldari Equilibrium LLC United Confederation of Corporations	Posted - 2006.12.18 23:57:00 - [61] I found another one today A "ruined station" guarded by dread guristas, in an 05. The strange thing is it had a magnometeric sig instead of a gravi, even tho guristas were inside. Took me about an hour, but i was repeating my scan with the big probes just to see if i could get closer after finding it. Inside were rats which salvaged for a"higher than normal" rate, and 3 cans, a "waste" and 2 debrie cans. They required arch scanning to open and yielded several stacks of salvage components....about 40 in all. No progessing path though, as far as I can see.. Does anyone know, on these progressive paths, is it clear to you that theres "more" to go through? Another gate? a hint? or what... Kaaii Trading 101
Iog Krugar Gallente The Rising Stars	Posted - 2006.12.19 00:27:00 - [62] an Expedition will make you notice it by a text popup window. from what i've seen so far, you can only get one from a warpgated site --- i suposse everyone rolls around stations in pods
Smokey Joe	Posted - 2006.12.19 06:48:00 - [63] The first system I probed (a .8 system) had a deadspace belt that had Hemorphite, Jaspet, and Kernite rocks to mine. Nice start to my new career.
Elena Lanfear Crafty Productions	Posted - 2006.12.19 13:06:00 - [64] Has anyone an idea what we are supposed to do with the leaking casks? We have found a small Plex on sunday. It was this small drone complex someone mentioned earlier, but there were no drones when i warped in. Only 5 leaking casks with a nice green cloud around them. We tried to do shield transfer, armor transfer, energy transfer, hacking, archaeology and salvaging... oh and a tractor beam and 5x Large Railgun II (which did 0.0 damage). I opened them, but nothing was inside. You cant put something inside them, we have tried that too.. Kinda weird, that Complex is still there, so it seems we havent finished the "Main Quest". But there is nothing except these cans (and some large collidable objects that you can't target) and we are now really clueless. Thx in Advance Elena
Shino Tu Caldari Kaaii-Net Research Labs	Posted - 2006.12.19 14:24:00 - [65] That sounds like a bug, if you tried both hacking and arch on them. What did info tab say? Most of the cans/casks I have found "allude" to the contents being either hackable or archeology related in description.. "Unhappy people expect the world to adapt to them and happy people adapt to the world."
Elena Lanfear Crafty Productions	Posted - 2006.12.19 15:26:00 - [66] It said something like they get there information from the surrounding things and that the Transport Ship that fetched the data last time was destroyed/ended bad. They are really strange, you cant do anything with them. My only thought is that someone was faster than me (lack of drones) and that there WAS something in the cans in the beginning. They open like normal cans, so i doubt that special equipment would be needed to retrieve further Information out of them.

Linkage to Eris telling you that Leaking Casks dont do anything another linkage to Eris considering that some drone sites may be borked so... your best bet is to keep the BMs and watch the latter thread, i guess --- i suposse everyone rolls around stations in pods
Elena Lanfear Crafty Productions	Posted - 2006.12.19 20:21:00 - [68] Thx very much, now i know more ;-)
Bambi	Posted - 2006.12.20 11:34:00 - [69] Found a Serpentis Info Hub or something like that last night, had 3 Info hubs (cans that you had to hack to open) all of which contained a grand total of nada. It wasnt exactly a hard complex, those 4 frigs nearly wiped the spaceflies off the front of my Ravens hull with thier attempts to shoot me. Dont rag me for going in a Raven, just last one I found in a 0.9 I got totaly pwnd by drones in a hawk, so making sure I didnt get hammered....

Halstor	Posted - 2006.12.20 20:31:00 - [70] I found two instances of the 'Gurrista base' signature, in deep 0.0, both were listed as unknown on the multispectral. The first time we cleared it, nothing special happened. popped structures, all the rats etc, a few cruise missle batteries but that was it. 2nd complex (which was 2 systems away) did the same thing, except an expedition started in stage 2 after shooting a structure. This took us to a system 3 jumps away, where we got swarmed by guristas, mostly frigs/cruisers (scrambling kind) and about 6 BS. there were 9 weapon silo structures but we werent prepared and had to warp out. The journal would not let us return to that spot, but we had shot enough to get it to escalate again, which took us another 5 jumps away. This site had roughly 10 BS waiting for us, and some structures. clearing it told us the trail had gone cold. So, for even the boring simple complexes, there is a chance that it can escalate.
Nyane	Posted - 2006.12.21 00:15:00 - [71] Edited by: Nyane on 21/12/2006 00:15:17 I found a place in deep 0.0 with about 20 arkanor and 20 bistot roids and no rats. I think i heard somewhere that something could happend if i mined all theese? Anyone know if this is true? Cause if not i cant be arsed to mine them:)
Kaaii Caldari Equilibrium LLC United Confederation of Corporations	Posted - 2006.12.26 01:02:00 - [72] And another.. This one was pretty cool, and pretty darn hard to find. It took me almost 6 straight hours of probing to nail down. The signal strength was so low it was hit or miss, most of the time miss.. But worth it.. Inside was a hidden belt (in 07) LOADED with all three flavors of Jaspet, kernite and omber. It took 8 of us two days with other explorers coming and going,, to clear it out of most of the good stuff. I saw probably another 10 people wander in, mostly from a BM seller I think, so it was pretty large. We pulled 250m in mins out of the place, and I know there was prolly another 100m from the other miners there. Not bad for an 07.. ============= The next day I found a 2 stage "chemical Factory wreck" in an 06, loaded with drones (and drone minerals) with names like research drone, salvage drone, harvester drone, mixed in with the combat drones. Sadly there was nothing to be found other than the drone minerals, and no salvage from them. None of the structures were hackable/salvageable or archeology related either, though the whole place alluded to a "science" site... Maybe next time....fun tho.. Trading 101

And I was planning to get some good sales from that location... your mining fleet broke my heart, and snuffed my wallet. /adds Kaaii to his player-hate list. Today, that location is still there (some 4 days after I found it). There are about 4 small asteroids left. I've had experiences where some unknown signatures would disappear severals hours after finding them (even when full of NPC's when I got there). So this business of disappearing sites is still quite a mystery to me. Perhaps gravimetric signatures have a longer lifespan than unknowns? On another note.... I just found a motherload of a field with 60-80 asteroids of all 3 types of omber and kernite, where 60% of the asteroids have 30k units each! Supplies are limited: I'm only selling one bookmark this time. Send me a mail with your offer.
Methinkstoomuch Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2006.12.28 18:12:00 - [74] I managed to scan down a site in 0.5. Was a very small site (5-7 frig rats) totaling about 35k isk. There were 3 objects of interest. 2 Data shards if I remember correctly and a control tower which all showed up as cans. I was not able to get into any of these due to the lack of hacking skill but I did manage to get my alt in to open them. All 3 had nothing in them. I am curious if I didn't find anything because the lvl of hacking skill was too low (lvl 2). Since I found nothing I attempted to shoot one just to see but got the warning about shooting aydda yadda, illegal act yadda yadda. Been in low sec so long I don't remember if I would get concorded for shooting the cans and since I was using a BC with both characters, I didn't want to risk it. Maybe it would have just done no damage but didn't want a rude awakening :/
Kaaii Caldari Equilibrium LLC United Confederation of Corporations	Posted - 2006.12.28 21:30:00 - [75] I found one in an 07 today.. I thought ok, fine ore...maybe a few frigs or destroyers... 9 secs later my hardened rook and my 45mil sps, were praying for the warp drive to kick in to save my ship... OMG It was filled with so much stuff I thought id jumped a 100 ship gate camp it lagged so bad...My shields vaporised in secs, my armor went down faster than a lvl 4 in frig. And that was just the first gate... overheard from the mission logs (edited down, hope its ok to post npc chat :) ) [ 2006.12.28 17:37:20 ] Message > The Pithum Communications officer has called on reinforcements to save his own hide!

[ 2006.12.28 18:12:02 ] Message > A number of Pith ships have answered the distress signals sent by the Pith Long-Range Transmitter.<--more spawn This was a near constant spawn, both my wing mate and I were in ferox battle cruisers. I counted roughly 100 wrecks when we were finally finished. The complex was nothing short of awesome "looking". nothing like I have seen before. there was a problem however, in that no cash was generated by killing the spawn off once inside the 2nd gate. Checking them they all had bounties, but my journal did not record a single kill. Further, after all that, every single one of the structures yielded zero items....(60+) Fun, exciting, and...poor.. Next time Kaaii Trading 101
Apophiss Incarnate	Posted - 2007.01.22 07:58:00 - [76] I just had the same plex in a 0.5 its called Guristass watch - i bought a drake to do it in ( never flown drake before ) was no trouble for the drake to tank the plex solo took about 20 minutes - ( not including desroying structures ) Got absolutely nothing of value from it but was a fun little plex look forward to doin it again and perhaps getting something better next time. I was kinda dissapointed that the bosses on both levels didnt drop something if not just a decemt named mod or implant.
Ione Hunt Gekidoku	Posted - 2007.01.22 13:30:00 - [77] Just started exploring last night, but in only a few hours I found 4 10/10 size complexes, and 3 professional sites...all in 0.0 space. I couldn't check the cans because my Helios didn't get along well with the defenses at those locations, but I'll try tonight... _______________
