So it begins..... 5

A lot has been done in the last two days with my trial alt, some of the extra training has been completed and allows for the use of the ancillary shield booster. Which has come in handy when taking too much aggro from npc's.

I’ve also stripped back the scanning ships fit to only include the probe launcher, AB, cpu and scanning mods. I’ve changed the setup of both Tristan’s as well to each use the extra salvager from the scanning ship.

The day before yesterday I went scanning and was very happy with the ease at which the results were pinpointed/scanned down. And was able to salvage with ease. The salvage drones are a great addition. I may change to a full 5 salvage drones instead of 3 as I’ve yet to find an mtu to kill.

I know that I’ve peeved a few people off from their missions and I know a few people have been very attentive to cleaning and salvaging as they go.

On starting to scan out the ships in system I was hesitant to warp to my finds. The carebear in me was saying that I wouldn’t like this to happen to me. I had to remind myself that this alt was disposable, and made for doing this course of action. I put the carebear thoughts out of my head quick enough when the salvaging started.

One example yesterday was a player who was not salvaging as they went. Didn’t have an mtu but it was also luck with timing that allowed me to salvage the first of two room’s so on the second they were about 80% finished killing the mission. The time let me salvage as they killed and catch up to them. They tried warping out to allow aggro to go to me but speed and a small signature was epic in avoiding damage.

With the player returned to finish if off despite me being there, they did so and returned in a noctis, with a full cargo hold including loot I warped to station to unload but on returning they had finished sucking in the last of the loot cans.  

I’ve salvaged a few missions and gained about 14 Million isk. This would have been more had I been more brazen and gained suspect flagging for taking the loot. The evolution of this has made me change the safety from green to amber…. No red just yet.

 

 

 

So I can scratch the "break even" aim off the list.

Aims are still:
         Scan out MTU's (blow them up and loot)
         Ninja Salvage (make 12 + Million)
         Get a bounty placed on me. (may be harder then it seems)
