Sadly, itGÇÖs an event of owners of T2, T3 and Faction Cruisers with over 500 DPS!
The frigates are fast, but without enough DPS to clear sites fastly, while BC and BS are too slow for fast grind.
We know about GÇ£22.3% (2.3T) of the ISK was generated by 1.4% of characters earning bounties, using SupercarriersGÇ¥, but this looks like GÇ£60% (XX B) of the ISK was generated by 5% of characters earning goodies, using T2, T3 and Faction CruisersGÇ¥.
I got some SKINS and, most importantly, a Rogue Swarm Accelerator, but other new bros are out of the game.
Considering my 250 DPS on my Vexor, I lost like 4 sites by being GÇ£outdpsedGÇ¥. Just in case, after I cleared all drone waves someone jumps to the site and one shot the last boss just to drop the yellow can. I met players which passed the site which was already cleared also.
There should been three types of sites, based on their difficulty and rewards: Ligh, Medium and Heavy.
Just a word, if youGÇÖll see a player on a bad ship clearing the site just leave him. Play in a greedy GÇ£White/YellowGÇ¥ can if both of you cleared all the waves just for whoGÇÖll get the last GÇ£whiteGÇ¥ can, a 50/50% game.

The sites pile up in highsec as people don't bother much, likely after they found out that the drop rate of boosters in highsec is very low (I got none after 12 sites). In lower sec the drop rate is higher than 50%, and it looks like only the battleship end boss will drop boosters. In highsec the final spawn was always a cruiser.
I got a booster from a BC. They have lower chance to warp in compared to Cruisers, like 30%. The BS boss, looks like a Dominix, also can warp in, but with a very low chance somewhere below 10%. IDK about BS's loot, because it was in a yellow can :(. |

Its not really random, the better damage dealer will get the final can, and you don't need 500 DPS, i'm sitting in a confessor with half that DPS and still managing to clear the site with stupid ease and i can even contest the locals :P
The only things worth anything from this event are the accelerators, and those only have a shelf life of 16 days as they all expire on the 30th
You must have nice Alpha Strike on your Confessor. |

Wut? Who is Hillary?
Nope, IGÇÖm ok, I got a booster for the next 36 hours and a couple of useless SKINS.
I just noticed, that with blasters and 5xAcolyte II I got GÇ£outdpsedGÇ¥. This gives no chances for complete new bros. Shure, when IGÇÖll have Mastery IV on my Vex, IGÇÖll be good as others.

The drops are not really worth it. But opening a yellow can lead to some interesting outcome. I suggest you try and see the reaction... That is the point of this event. Fit a PvP ship and kick ass by opening the intruder yellow container, I Garantee lots of fun.

If you can't get them, position yourself right on the wreck and loot it and gtfo, or go to some quieter areas. Theyre doable though. Much easier for new players than the gala sites.
Heh, that yellow can looks like a kill right scam. IGÇÖm feeling, like half (or maybe 30%) of Hi-Sec players doing this GÇ£time spendingGÇ¥, on their top ships, just for such a pvp scam and not for that loot. You know, there are virtual corporations in NPC corporations. In some cases, the ninja loot will work, but mainly youGÇÖll get instant Disruptor after which half of local cruisers will warp in. Anyway, it not worth to spend time on it. As a result, youGÇÖll just collect a GÇ£Bounty ShamballaGÇ¥ around your neck.
I noticed that some fleet groups patrolling one or two constellations, using a fast frigate. I found a drone beacon in a total unpopulated dead end systemGǪ local is emptyGǪ I began to clear the siteGǪ some tackler entered in the systemGǪ 40 seconds passedGǪ in the system appeared a strategic destroyer and two special cruisers which appeared to my site in 5-10 sec after that. During the last 3 months, IGÇÖm living in low-sec border lands and WHs. Such a technique is used by WH GÇ£predatorsGÇ¥. Even low-sec habitants donGÇÖt use such a special fleets and methods. |

to do well int hese sites DO NOT BRING DRONE BOATS OR MISSILE BOATS they do really poorly against high ROF setups on cruisers frigates and dessies and im talking about the T1 kind.
I got it. Drones and missiles arenGÇÖt effective in this event.
IGÇÖm using a GÇ£Armor Tanked and Kitting VexGÇ¥ upset is 3 blasters and a Drone Link Augmentor while downset is Damage Control II + Repairer + 3xDrone Damage Amplifiers II. The midset is completely engineering stuff. The point is I have good skills on ship and weapons for my home world Minmatar stuff and, moreover, high skills for frigates, BC and BS only. Due to this my lvl III Vex is the best Cruiser for low-sec expeditions currently. I can push dps up with skills on blasters and Medium T2 drones, but I miss GÇÿem. Therefore, I not buying Gila also.

DonGÇÖt take this thread as my criticism or complaint on the event. ItGÇÖs just a review.
ItGÇÖs not competitive as most things in EVE Online. ItGÇÖs like a race between Mini and Bugatti Veyron. IGÇÖm just pointing to respect somebodyGÇÖs deeds and time, at least in High-Sec. Who likes the WareFare mechanic when you have to collide around the beacon by killing rats, being like a shrimp on the plate, for 15-20 min and during the last 40 sec somebody from your faction jumps in (or in the worst case an opposite fleet jumps in)?

DAY 3
Now itGÇÖs possible to run these drone sites by Alpha Clones and other low skilled capsuleers. Compared to the first day, huh, itGÇÖs much easy now.
You can get a Destroyer lvl 3 or a Cruiser lvl 1-2. With DPS between 90-150 you have enough time to clear the site before somebody will invade your site. Just stay away from the tract. Try Amarrian regions (Genesis, Domain, Tash-Murkon, Devoid), because I heard the Caldari remain very contesting (especially The Forge). The Minmatar regions remain enough GÇ£intensiveGÇ¥ with rng free spots. A frigate can do the job, but it must be well pumped. Anyway, a BS boss youGÇÖll not crack probably, so donGÇÖt waste time on him. BTW, from the BS bosses I got the worst loot in Hi-Sec (no boosters). The best loot was from a cruiser: 1 PLEX, 1Rister SKIN and a Booster.
Interesting, who got a drone BPC and what kind?
Keep goingGǪ

Day 5
Somebody still dispute that the Rogue Swarm event is fair and competitive.

Completely not worth bothering since you're just doing the work for nothing. Pretty boring.

June 27 at 11:00 UTC is the end of the event. You have 2 days to get something.
The Accelerator expires on June 29 at 23:59:59 UTC (the whole week). After June 27, you can buy boosters from the market. In some regions they cost 10-15m ISK currently.
Just fly away from the tract and main region systems. I noticed many uncontested Drone Nests in borderlands systems yesterday, while near main systems they wasnGÇÖt. Try Amarr regions. For example, I did exploration in the Molden Heath yesterday. There is a deep GÇ£greenGÇ¥ system Katteguad where I noticed like 12 Rogue Swarm Nests in an empty system. There are many other systems closer to Imperial lands. Compared to the first two days itGÇÖs very easy now.

The Rogue Swarm Nests works like Combat Anomalies and Signatures (including WH) GÇô if youGÇÖll close it in this system another one will automatically appear in a RNG system of Constellation or Region. So, if many of them will be closed in main systems, through statistical RNG distribution more and more of them will stack at some inactive systems. |
