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 CrokAt 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.
Clearing a Rarefied Core Deposit in a C5
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!

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.

I only say one Covert Ops on the Directional Scanner the entire time we were in the system. Currently the WH has stopped spawning new sites, so it is time to move.

We focused on the Rarified Core Deposit for around 4 days and generated around 1.491 B worth of profit after the minerals were hauled to Jita. We are donating 300M to our corporation and splitting 1.19 B so my personal take home is around 595M.
Mined:
- 50,000 Arkonor
- 80,000 Bistot
- 80,000 Crokite
- 15,000 Mercoxit
- 20,000 Spodumain
We did not touch:
- 200,000 Omber
- 200,000 Hedbergite
All of our minerals were processed by our Intensive Refining Array which has a refining yield of 75%. In a few months, we are planning on using a Rorqual to compress all of our Ore and bringing it to empire to refine where we can get a much higher yield.

Posted: 2009-08-31 Filed under: wormhole | Tags: c5, profit Leave a commentA 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.
Every New C5 Comes with a Nullsec Gank
Posted: 2009-08-25 Filed under: wormhole | Tags: c5, gank, pos, wormhole Leave a commentA corpmate and I moved from a dead C4 into a new, shiny C5 after a few days of waiting and scanning. Our move operation is pretty standard and down to a routine. We like to setup a small POS first, then bring our Large POS with defenses.
So our migration routine is as follows:
- Scout, bring hauler with Small POS into new WH space.
- Online small POS with BS protection.
- Move industry and probing ships into small POS force field.
- Setup Corporate Hangar Array in small POS and move goods.
Once this is completed, we setup the Large POS with defenses and repeat the migration process.
As I started to bring the defenses online at the Large POS, in came a Helios (Covert Ops Ships) through a lowsec WH from OKEO-X in the Omist region which is deep in Atlas Alliance territory. I started to get a little worried as I knew the POS locations were getting pinned down.
Should I online the guns, or get the rest of the mods/ammo out of the Corporate Hanger Array in the small POS? I tried to do both, warping back and forth, but after a few minutes a saw a HAC and a BS enter.
Putting defenses online
After 5 minutes, the system had a total of 15 attackers in it including a Drake, 2x Hurricane, 2x Helios, 2x Ishtar, Tempest, 2x Phobos, Zealot, and a Armageddon. I knew there was some scanning, bubble and DPS power in that gang. I got in my interceptor and warped to the small POS, knowing that they could have positioned a bubble in my path of travel. I arrived to see their gang shooting at the small POS and bringing it into reinforced mode within a half an hour.
Once I got the evemail alert that the POS was in reinforced mode, the attacking gang suddenly left within a matter of minutes. We had put enough Strontium Clathrates in the Small POS that the reinforce time came out to be 1 Day 8 Hours. I think the gang realized that they didn’t want to offline in WH space and finish the job later, knowing that they were seeing Cruise Missle Batteries being anchored at the Large POS as they attacked the Small POS and that they were most likely not going to get a Omist WH spawn tomorrow.
