These things are getting on my nerves like no other. When I'm in my venture to mine gas sites I've scanned down I'll get instantly blown up by them as soon as I warp to it. This happens even if I warp within 100km, as they have a colossal range of 200km.
This is where I get irritated. These things seem to not even have to lock-on to you to fire, so you're dead as soon as you warp in if you're not in something like or better than a battlecruiser.
That's fine. I can get around that, if I actually knew they'd be there before warping to the site. The stupid thing is these things are NPC's so they don't show up on directional scan so there is no way to know if you're going to get destroyed when you go in.
I don't know why you'd have these turrets in a gas site, especially when the only ships that can mine the gas site in the game are ventures or prospects, both of which will get blown up as soon as you warp to these sites.
At least allow us to scan these on direction scan so we know they're there before blindly warping into a gas site and getting blown up. |

TLDR - Dude is running this gas site in his venture, unscouted and getting blapped by sentry guns
Dude, WTF are you doing in a WH without a covops cloak? take the week and train into that trash and then warp to the sites at range beforehand and observe the presence, or not, or sentries.
Like, for all you know there could be a rook in the site.
Scouting is WH 101.
Yeah, well, it's just like my opinion, man.

Sentries are only in 1 type of gas site. Figure it out and either skip them or warp a drake there first...

As the old saying goes:
"Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir has the turrets that shoot far,
Any other gas site and the ninja huffing is just right"

Ordinary gas sites exist for the sole purpose of trapping the unwary.
They apparently work well.

There are some C1 combat sites that are scenes of hilarity as well.
No one loves them, everyone hates them, so we're going out into the garden to eat worms....... Or something like that -¬ ccp 2002

TL;DR NPC sentry turrets should show up on directional scan.
Tip. Get a Prospect. Get Covops Cloaking. Warp in at range - Cloaked. Reward = Not Getting Blapped by guns.
Or without a prospect - just don't go to the "Ordinary" gas sites. They are the ones with the Sentry Guns. They are ALWAYS there (ie not like other sites where you can huff for 10-15 before they spawn) they are spawned with the site.
Either warp into an Ordinary gas site with a pew pew ship and clear the sentry's or avoid them completely.
