Some ideas from doing this in previous years. 1. Fly an armour fit loki. It's better on cap. 2. Refit before you do the site. Put a medium faction or deadspace nos in one of the highs. It'll keep your cap alive. 3. Use a clone with mid asklepians. Risky, but makes these sitees much easier. 4. Take drugs along. Standard or synth exile, hardshell II, synth crash, and use the event resist and anti drain boosters. 5. Use EM ammo for Crimson sites and Thermal for Tetrimon. Use whatever on the boss, because it doesn't really matter with him. 6. Kill the warp disrupting NPCs first, so you can warp out if you get probed. 7. Move away from the landing site, as you did. If you can kill all of one wave's npcs before the next spawn, cloak up and continue moving away from the landing spot. 8. Take some paste along so you can overheat if you need to. 9. Orbit the final boss at 500m. He has good tracking and you're webbed, but you reduce his hit quality and you have your nos. 10. Abandon the site if you get probed. It's not worth losing your ship over.
OK, this is what you needed to do when Admiral popped in- you needed to get rid of all the cap skin frigates, so you could still maintain the booster, and you would have had it. Need to quickly change tatics at the moment, and just set orbit on Admiral till you got rid of the cap drain frigates.
No, the admiral itself is doing the heavy neut pressure

That was very cool to watch. I have to say this has not been my most favorite event. combine the 90% drop rate with don't fly what you can't lose id happily fly data sites since losing several cheetah's is not really all that bad, but the fact that it's almost impossible to find data sites in Hi sec without flying hours and hours of mind numbing gate jumps I have pretty my written off both Data and combat sites, but it looks like fun watching others do them :) Cheers to the Cool Goon dude, That was very cool of him to bring that to you like that!!
Yeah, it's pretty difficult. Competition for the hacking sites should drop off because this is a long event, but dive in to a WH chain or something ;)

@@waddenderas7774 I thought about day tripping into J space to look for sites in there. My biggest issue is that I have lived to long in Jita for the convenience of access to 4.4 but it's a terrible place to live when it comes to any of these events, and I need to figure out a good place to set myself up. Ill figure it out but hopping a WH near Jita is a great way to get killed very quickly too :)
Great video, thank you. Might try this in a small gang fleet of Lokis. Wondering if the cycle reload time between different damage types is worth it considering you could get out 2 maybe 3 cycles of damage in that time. The resists are not that different 5-10% (ish).
Yeah, I had a similar issue when trying to see if I could run the sites on my Alpha clone and everything was going smoothly until the same thing happened, last wave of the boss room spawned and 2 minutes into the wave the boss shows up. I freak out 'cause I'm still killing the big stuff in the wave. I finally kill the big stuff in the wave and then I focus the boss. By this time I'm nearly nueted out and I'm overheating everything. I kill the boss, no cap, 80% of my modules are toasty and I almost hit structure, in other words "Fun" right...so yeah I don't know if they boosted the boss somehow or he showing up in the middle of the last wave is a new mechanic, but what the heck. Anyways, nice save by that GoonBro, does escalation sites loot are really good. 👍
Yeah that's my only complaint about these event sites. It seems random whether the boss spawns alone or as part of a wave and it completely changes the difficulty and approach, which you can't plan for
Nice vid, but...another Eve partner soooo deep under cover that he needs to blur the chat, to keep the corp members secret. Lol, is this a game, or is it more than just a game? As they say, if you have nothing to hide come clean ha ha
Thanks! I'm not under cover at all though, I'll be completely transparent about what I'm doing and where in game, but my corp mates haven't given me permission to put their chat on YT, so I censor it
Get back to your hole. You are the leader. They need you there, giving guidance, showing support. Not abandonening them so you can make a quick buck. Get your arse back to your hole NAOIW

Well those are some excellent tips! I'll be coming back to this list before my next major effort!

The cap drain frigates were having that big of an impact on me? That's good to know!

I swear I have heard so many people saying they cant find the data sites, I have been finding them uncontested 1 jump from market hubs...

Yeah we camp those pretty heavily :D
Dont do them in high sec? jump into a wormhole or take a day trip to null, its COVERT for a reason
The shield alarms were triggering my Eve ptsd at work.
I sometimes watch videos when in game and almost lose it every time I hear the alarms in a video
Great video, thank you. Might try this in a small gang fleet of Lokis.

Yeah, you're probably right, I'm not sure it makes enough of a difference to keep reloading all the time

You're a braver man than I with hotel internet .. May I ask which type of laptop you're using while travelling, it plays well.
Yeah hotel internet is always a wild ride! I'm on a custom spec from PCSpecialist, if you join my discord I'll post the spec somewhere
@@waddenderas7774 ah okay, custom spec that makes.
nice loot, probably a HAC would be better I would say...
Yeah I could try a HAC, I felt I needed the ability to cloak to move around null though
you should try out that new cap resist drug that you get from daily log in, maybe give a quafe apple a go also ;)
Those sound like some great suggestions!
Wadd, I know I made my comment below but I am only HALF joking. We need moAr vids. Anything will do. Get vidding
You need to make your mind up :D

a battleship would be better to be honest
Hard to maneuver in null
Yeah battleship would run the site better, no question. But I don't think I'd get through Nullsec with it
Wrong damge type wrong munition time overal XXXX FIT ..... expected result......
What damage type would you recommend for this? As far as I can tell the boss' resist hole is explosive
@@waddenderas7774 EM for Crimson sites, Thermal for Tetrimon. Rage on final boss.
Get back to your hole. You are the leader. They need you there, giving guidance, showing support. Not abandonening them so you can make a quick buck. Get your arse back to your hole NAOIW
He can't hear you over the cha ching noises.
