Bubbled and Podded

Posted: 2009-09-22 | Author: | Filed under: ships, wormhole | Tags: | Leave a comment

It was bound to happen. My WH partner and I were not watching out directional and we got bubbled by the Phobos and killed. We tried to log-off the Orca, but it could not tank the damage.

They were fast to scan us down as I probably was off directional for 5-6 minutes.

We lost:

1x Hulk
1x Retriever
1x Orca, insured

New Life in WH Space

I worked on an Average site last night and cleared 15K Arkonor, 30K Bistot and 20K Crokite. I received the following message from my WH partner this AM.

omg blake!!!!  We’re not going anywhere.

Good work last night btw,  Clearing that avg.  Time to get those lasers warmed up good and proper.  We have 2….. yes I said 2 as in two rarefied core deposits.

That means

100K Ark
160K Bistot
160K Crok

At our 75% refined state that’s still just shy of 2 billion isk on those 2 sites.  add onto that what we mined the past couple of days and that’s a hell of a lot of money.

Wow!!!!!!!

Great Monday morning news as I was expecting to help take down the POS and move to a neighbor WH this morning.

While clearing the Sleep spawns, I almost lost my Dominix today on the first site. With my Dominix Rail/Blaster Setup, I can barely tank 1 Sleeper BS and 2x Sleeper Cruisers. Luckily, my partner had a Remote Hull Repairer on his ship and was keeping me alive.

Here’s a shot me of me dipping into Structure; my heart was beating a little faster at this point.

I did stay alive, but I need to make sure to remember these two tactics: don’t warp to 0 right on top of the Sleeper ships and use Heavy Drones on Sleeper Battleships. Whew, onto the Arkonor, Bistot and Crokite!

We hit a Rarified Core Deposit for 4 days straight. This WH has been the most profitable so far. I hope that we get a good, empty C5 neighbor to move into tomorrow. No more Gravimetric sites are spawning so I am getting some C32 out of a Ladar sight until downtime.

A low security exit opened up today to a 0.2 system in the Derelik region. My WH partner got our stock of minerals out and sold them on the market. 580M in 4 days mining ABC’s which means around 145M/day.

The ABCs

No, not the alphabet — we are talking about Arkonor, Bistot and Crokite. These are the most valuable ore per time and volume in WH space.

Our mining fleet in WH space was clearing 15,000 m3 Arkonor roids in around 25-30 minutes. The operation lasted for around 6 hours and I got a paycheck of 387.5 million ISK which comes out to 77.5 million ISK/hour.

According to The Complete Miner’s Guide, a perfect Hulk pilot can pull in around 54 million ISK/hour. I had my alt in me in a Retriever so that accounts for the extra 23.5 million ISK/hour. Not bad for a Sunday’s work.

ISK per jetcan (Our EvE)

  1. Arkonor 13,860,887
  2. Bistot 13,221,153
  3. Crokite 9,290,540
  4. Gneiss 5,055,147
  5. Spodumain 4,924,785
  6. Dark Ochre 4,626,514

If time allows, we hit the lower ores to stock up on minerals for corporate production.
