Ribosom	Posted - 2004.05.12 09:13:00 - [1] well, i know a few of u are on the edge for those black op ships. Me 2 cause i love scan systems and clean up space from "abandoned" ships . So i was just wondering what was the most exciting stuff u found? U could name everything, but i¦d be most interested in those "sixt" ships parked in space. Me and a friend found a whole fleet, i.e. 5 bs, 11 cruiser and 17 haulers. It took us almost 2 weekends but it was worth it lol. The good thing is, as long as ppl don¦t use exploits to create bookmark safespots you¦l always be able to find them. You just have to try hard enough. -------------------- (Advocatus Diaboli)
Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.05.12 09:34:00 - [2] Edited by: Joshua Calvert on 12/05/2004 10:04:16 I'm totally useless with the scanner I'll pay you good isk for a tutorial LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Scorpyn	Posted - 2004.05.12 09:52:00 - [3] Who said hacking wasn't implemented? Scanning for and locating ships on safespots is definitely hacking. It's also something I'm NOT good at

ZelRox	Posted - 2004.05.12 10:25:00 - [5] So far a rifter and a medium can i deleted the bookmark for Tok me about 4 hrs of warping and about a 3 hrs of flying towards the target. But so far the scanner prize of the month goes to Frantik for removing a Raven from a C4 safespot 188 au from the sun ! ---------------------- I wanna tuc tuc ..
Ribosom	Posted - 2004.05.12 10:28:00 - [6] Indeed scanning is an art. A guide would be worth as lot, if it¦d would contain the tip and trick section. but lets wait for what these black op frigs are capable of. BTW, if you guys have some interesting "graveyard ship spots" give me a call and we make a deal. Me and my interceptor get bored. -------------------- (Advocatus Diaboli)
Elaine Marley	Posted - 2004.05.12 11:26:00 - [7] Freaky, before the Interceptors came in to the game Scanning was some kind of hobby of Elaine... I was in an Kestrel with 2 MWD 1 AB and Nanos, scanning ppl at their safespots! That was real fun. Best abonded Ship i found was an Armageddon in deep Space around the CFS. Podding Regards Elaine Marley Put the money on the table, here is the Inflation Control Veni, Vedi, Vici
DJTheBaron	Posted - 2004.05.12 13:02:00 - [8] i can generally scan most ships to within a 1au straight line, and this doesnt take ery long, just directional scanning and warping between 2 colidable objects such as a stargate and station, once you find the trajectory u narrow it down by draining ur cap and warping, checking if the object is in front or behind you, repeat for 30min and you should have whatever object you want within a 1au straight line in space thats the easy part, ive never spent the time to mwd 1au in a ship to find them tho... __________________________________________________ Scum, your all scum.
Mitchello	Posted - 2004.05.12 13:15:00 - [9] maller with a bestower next to it are my best, I just got a shuttle yesterday :P a few days ago some one got a Jokers apoc fully out fitted with mmining lasers at a safespot, that was funny.
Granger	Posted - 2004.05.12 14:12:00 - [10] What you mean got a Fully loaded Apoc..... what you just find the ship or you attack the ship in these safe spots, do not get it.. Then again I do not get the whole scanning thing, I kinda have the directional part down, but still can not narrow it down enough... What do you set the range at initially ???
Jexter	Posted - 2004.05.12 14:54:00 - [11] Edited by: Jexter on 12/05/2004 14:57:21 Originally by: Mitchello a few days ago some one got a Jokers apoc fully out fitted with mmining lasers at a safespot, that was funny. Well that wasn't a Jokers apocalypse (we don't use those ships, don't even have the skills), it was one of our customers' ship. He was using that temporary safespot during one mining operation. Not like I didn't tell him several times that leaving an Apocalypse in space wasn't really a smart move . I believe the "thief" got confused by the Jokers secure cans anchored in place. Still a good catch anyways! Yes the scanner is a wonderfull tool in the right hands. For example in the case mentioned by Mitchello, somebody managed to find this Apocalypse a good 5au away from any orbital object. It takes some scanner knoweledge and some patience. This is a good place to start. Regards.
Ribosom	Posted - 2004.05.12 15:10:00 - [12] Yes this guide is highly recommended. And after that and some hours of caculations, midwarp bm¦s, directional scanning and triangulation lets talk again. What do u guys use for the final approach, i.e. the last 100 T Km? 3 mwds on an interceptor doing approx. 1500 km per burst or a puisher 2 mwds doing 8,3 Km/s permanently? -------------------- (Advocatus Diaboli)
DigitalCommunist	Posted - 2004.05.12 17:04:00 - [13] Hmm, i've found ammo/loot depots, a few ships, a few enemies.. I love the scanner, and I'd like to think i'm relatively good with it :P Just the other day, I got to within 2000km of a CA dude sitting at safespot, he must of checked his own scanner because he bolted away ASAP damn, just 5more min >_< _____________________________________ Perpetually driven, your end is our beginning.

Elrathias	Posted - 2004.05.12 17:16:00 - [14] well, i have managed to find quite alot. 2x caldari shuttles with 1500run cruisemissile bpcs in one of them, dont remember who it was, but thx anyway. (im still using them :D) 1x Heavily damaged Blackbird that contained some torps and cruise. 2x Probes 1x Griffin --------------------------
BobGhengisKhan	Posted - 2004.05.12 17:35:00 - [15] Edited by: BobGhengisKhan on 12/05/2004 17:37:41 TWD and me found an abandoned CA tempest in A2. Left the guy a complimentary shuttle to replace his loss Found lots of safespots, only problem is that most of the time they log as soon as they see you in their grid (since the last patch, before they'd just warp to another safe spot)
PaulLRyan	Posted - 2004.05.12 17:39:00 - [16] Managed to find a punisher, loads of shuttles, and a couple of cans that were quite useful Thanks a lot to a great teacher who I'll not name but he knows who he is Cheers PL =============================================== 2004.07.04 20:52:32 combat Your 720mm Prototype I Siege Cannon perfectly strikes Blood Raider, wrecking for 417.6 damage. ===============================================
Nafri	Posted - 2004.05.12 18:55:00 - [17] got some indies and popped them Wanna fly with me?
okiji	Posted - 2004.05.12 21:36:00 - [18] Usually when I'm tracking down an enemy ship I end up finding an abandoned ally instead. Still good fun though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hamatitio	Posted - 2004.05.13 04:37:00 - [19] Best scanning result, a friend in the alliance found a safespot of a CA guy hiding in our system. We ganked his Megathron while he was afk, with a sexy little msg attached -- Director of Ganking: Death Row Inc.
Negotiator	Posted - 2004.05.13 05:17:00 - [20] best scanning result - found a piece of beef jerky!
ProphetGuru	Posted - 2004.05.13 05:41:00 - [21] We found a depot with 2 bships, a bunch of cruisers, and a ton of indies once. 30+ ships iirc Evolution..... Just when you thought you were winning.
Shintoko Akahoshi	Posted - 2004.05.13 05:42:00 - [22] Various ammo dumps, shuttles and such. I've gotten close to some active enemies at safespots, but they usually just log or warp. Once I managed to track down a cruiser who's pilot was afk. That was a wonderful reward for my patience. There's no meaning to life when you cling only to common sense
Je'kalai	Posted - 2004.05.13 09:15:00 - [23] How the? I've used scanner to find things NPC related in one system that were months of travel away from closest warpable object. What are these safespots? People just leave parked ships there sometimes and it shows up on scanner?
Shamis Orzoz	Posted - 2004.05.13 11:08:00 - [24] Today I found a Stabber, a Thorax, 4 Vexor's, 1 Blackbird, Badger Mark 2, 5 shuttles, and a condor.
Ribosom	Posted - 2004.05.13 11:38:00 - [25] damn, that comes close to my findings. @ prophetguru, the thing u mentioned was dukath and me in xetic space, awesome. When we finnaly approached that safespot we had lagg for 2 minutes due to those 30+ ships in that location. Well they deserved it, cause they smacktalked us lise "your to dumb to find it...bla bla" -------------------- (Advocatus Diaboli)
Bembledak Fistybuns	Posted - 2004.05.13 13:34:00 - [26] My favourite was finding an afk Raven we were at war with (still are :D). My bb warped in and scrambled him, I called my friends over before I realised he was afk. Sorry Deathblow, I suppose I could of left u alone knowing you were afk but thats war dude :D
Miz Cenuij	Posted - 2004.05.13 17:36:00 - [27] With most people aware of how a bookmark hundreds of AU from anything can be created, how useful is the scanner, really? "Men are going to die.. and im going to kill them".

ProphetGuru	Posted - 2004.05.13 21:07:00 - [29] Originally by: Miz Cenuij With most people aware of how a bookmark hundreds of AU from anything can be created, how useful is the scanner, really? I am told that those are the easiest spots to find. Don't ask me how, only time I find anything is if someone gives me a bookmark to it lol. Evolution..... Just when you thought you were winning.
EnderWiggin	Posted - 2004.05.13 21:14:00 - [30] There's a Mammoth tucked away in the system I'm based out of right now...I can't fly it, but I thought I'd try and find the safespot and give it to someone who could :). ---------- [ 2004.05.06 05:12:04 ] (combat) Your 250mm Railgun I perfectly strikes Guristas Invader, wrecking for 155.7 damage.
