Love this guy's vids. One thing I would say is exploration is good if you have a bit of time to go system to system looking for riches. It is very dependent on luck - keep that in mind. This is true whether you're going for data/relic sites, or combat sites. If you don't have a lot of time, maybe try mission running to get your stocks of isk up. That can be done as alpha or omega depending on your choice of ship (Gila makes an excellent mission runner).
Hi man... last year (January or February 2021) I found one of your great videos about the Gila ship. It was all about how to equip it and prepare it for combat sites. There was also talk about drones and how you use them. I can't find that video. Can you help me? This video ("EVE Online - exploring for riches") was just a sequel to the first one, I think so.
Thnx for the video. Your probes will be recalled automaticly when you jump, so no need to do that yourself when you have two sets with probes with you :)
with a ship that doesn't have a bonus on scanning (or probe implants), that still wouldn't have been enough to lock down a sleeper cache - not to mention that without analyzer modules there would have been no point to it
So what is it that made you choose a Gila for the hull? I used to use one, but decided I wanted an armour tank, to free up mids. I chose the Ishtar. It means I have my mids, and I can use the highs for utility because the DPS is AOK already. I run a dual rep, with Serpentis/Guristas specific hardeners, it'll still run blood sites, because of it's native resistances. The Ishtar hull is also cheaper, and I find tankier, so for those low sec escalations it isn't so much of a worry. Again, I use it in low sec a lot, where the Ishtar can happily run a 6/10. As in all in one high and low sec exploration ship, for me, I find it almost perfect. I do see a lot of Gilas tho, so I wonder why they seem to be more attractive. (SP and Omega aside)
Haunted Yard, Desolated Site and Chemical Yard Cruisers can enter, and u can find often nice loot (20 - 50 Mio) When i find them i do them Sansha Watch u can blitz (u have to kill 3-5 Ships only) and u can find Faction Loot, but the escalation ar the real interesting things
Wait... There were 2 sansha dens left in the first system alone. Dont you go for escalations? Those 5/10 DEDs are somewhere from 43 mil (guaranteed drop, overseer) up to 400mil and change if you get nice faction modules... 2 weekends and i could pay for another 500plex... Omega account for free...
I'd like some salvafe drones as well. Aren't those the super secret salvage drones with a Quafe SKIN applied to them that no one but a select few know about? Speaking of SKINs, though, you really should look at those three that were released for the Gila. Fantastic work on CCP's part.
The sigs (what he's scanning down) generally have better loot than the anoms (the sites that are always visible, like the dens). Haven't done conventional combat exploration is a long time, so I could be wrong, but the anoms can sometimes yield decent drops but it's usually not as valuable. As I recall, most just run them if they're trying to pop escalations. I wouldn't say they're worth it unless you're also after escalations.
I usually do the anoms while I'm probing the sigs. Just use FoF missiles on the Gila and with the drones it will run the sigs without any input needed. But basically they are only worth it for the escalations, the faction loot you can get is most of the time not worth to loot for me. The DED modules is where the money is.
So like i’m about to start playing next week. This maybe be bad posting on here cause of the intent of pirates, scammers, looters, etc. but I am probably going to get sucked in bad
@@delonewolf tks a lot, I am playing since 2009 and since 2011, using a 1090t with 16gb ddr3 and HD 6870... still works :).... but its time to upgrade i think . I like your videos, man, this must be second job for you.....
People used to praise CCP when the sleeper cache sites came out for the puzzle-oriented exploration and good loot, but it seems that's not the case. Are they even worth doing any more?
They are worth doing, but they are somewhat rare. If I remember correctly i often get a bit over 100 mill for a standard site, you can also get that from "regular" pve sites, but the caches give a constant payout

I usually don't do exploration in HS, but I learned something new today thx...

hold down ctrl and use scroll wheel and you can make the probe scan much smaller and have gotten that extra amount of scan.

What fits ?
For reduce damage .... Spelializing ? Or not ?

maybe a dumb question but could you do this with a destroyer or is this mostly for cruisers??
i have done this in the sunesis and a T3 destroyer like the Jackdaw works great aswell.
How to set up hotkey for target switching?
Ctrl + arrows (can change in settings)
@@Atlantic22885 It's actually Alt + arrows by default, but thanks fot the tip! ;)
Did anyone notice that he said " dont remember to recall your probes ", made my day
Didn't they change the mechanics so that these probes get automatically taken in if you leave the system?
I'd like some salvafe drones as well. Aren't those the super secret salvage drones with a Quafe SKIN applied to them that no one but a select few know about?

yeah, i'll take my stratios over a gila for hsec combat explo any day
what about doing the normal combat sites in high sec they can drop something or not worth the trouble ?

stratios is the king of hsec

How do you find good systems to scan?
Use your scanner;)
Think it is more about competition than specific system. So try to find a route with not so much other players.
What pc do you use for eve?
I have a GTX 980, i7-4790K processor and 16 GB of ram.

Cruiser can get in a haunted yard. Good for drone capillary fluid.
yes, i tried after the recording, good to know.

The Abysses 3's are easier after the expansion and have an extra conduit option in the last room.
I found data site I scanned it for 23 minutes but I scanned it and took the loot 😂
Who cares about this old content, now we have Abyss and PVP arena.
