What is the most valueable thing you ever got from a hacking site? and from an archsal site?
Well, I'll tell you what we found two days ago.
A corpmate of mine found a nice plex (actual plex, not just deadspace) and he scanned about one and a half to two hours for it. We decided to do the plex with some corpies, we had five guys. I tanked in my Hyperion, a myrmidon was my 'logistics' (yes, seems wierd but myrm is actually pretty good at remote repping, it was an alt of ours) and we had a blasterdeimos, rokh and dominix for extra DPS.
At the first warpin point, we encountered a lot of BS and BC, one of which was a 7M dread guristas bs. We thought we were lucky and started pounding the rats... Ten minutes later they were all wiped out and our deimos afterburned his way to the dread guristas wreckage... The loot was pretty good, we had a Dread Guristas Invulnerability field, which goes for 250-350M in Jita. After that, one of our gang members (probably the one that had finishing blow on last rat) got a message saying we had to go somewhere and kill off some other guristas scum (just like in a mission, it came up in his expeditions tab). So we yelled, YEA! Escalation!
Fortunately, the next system was near a jumpbridge of ours so we could just jumpbridge there and I warped to the gang member with the bookmark (only the one that received the message gets the bookmark in his tab it seems). I started tanking again and saw another Dread Guristas BS, this time he was about 8-9M I think. We started getting really excited :-)
The loot that dropped from that BS was a DG shield boost amp. Pretty good loot again, around 200M I think. After that, we got another (!) escalation message and thus, we went to the next system (it was about 7 jumps away, but we had jump bridge not far from it :) ). There we did the same thing, this time it was a 10-12M bounty on the Dread Guristas BS. We got a DG multispec and an active DG kinetic shield hardener (61.125% kin res i think). After that, we got a final escalation message, back to the first system. We went there, didn't see a dread guristas, but one of the BS rats was an officer! Now we were tripping :)
We got an x-type large shield booster which is pretty damn nice :)
So, all in all that plex brought around 1B ISK in loot/bounty to our group... We divided the loot by four (since the 5th member was an alt) so we each got around 250M out of that plex... And it was loads of fun!
Please note that I didnt really have trouble, except for the 3rd escalation, which was really testing my tank and my buddy's myrmidon repping power... With an oneiros, it would have been no problem. So it wasn't that hard tank-wise. The payoff was very nice, and we could have done it in about 3 hours if we did it with the deimos and hyperion (+ oneiros then)... Now we did it in one hour and a half, maybe two hours, which is also nice :)
Hope this gives you some more info... Keep scanning!
ps: I just scanned with a multispec today in my home system and found an unknown. I dropped 6 radar quest probes on several planets and had a 13.2 signal strength lock on a deadspace after the first scan. I warped there in my covop, bookmarked, came back in brutix and killed about 4 spawns of mixed BS, BC, missile batteries and frigs... Gave me around 20M in bounties. So not that bad either and little effort/skills required. And more fun than ratting!
