Sucking some gas

Sunday afternoon, the chain I scanned yesterday it's gone, perhaps rolled. There's nobody at home, and there are new sigs, so I get Kippel and his cheetah to start scanning.

I find the C4 static as expected, the deadly data site, two crappy gas sites, and voila! an Instrumental gas site. That's the best gas site you can find, with lots of sweet C-320 and some C-540.

I finish scanning all the sigs, and jump to C4, I want to be sure there's no activity there if I want to start getting that gas. C4 looks inactive, good. Time to swap ships and get into ventures.

Before triggering the site, I broadcast through our jabber that I found the Instrumental in case anybody wants to join. I think it's kinda rude to trigger the site without giving the chance to my corp colleagues to share the good gas.

I don't get any reply, so I fleet warp my pair of ventures and start to suck. After 2 minutes in the site, Omaristos and Aymala show in and join the fleet in response to my ping.

I was kinda bored, not many people online and I decided to do some exploration in the chain. We had a C6 inbound at home, so it seemed to me like a good opportunity to see if there were some Vital or Instrumental  gas sites.

C6a was looking good, no active towers in the system and only one connection to another C5 wormhole, that was also inactive.



 

I scanned all the signatures in the C6 with my alt Kippel and I found two Vital Core Reservoirs. Those have some nice C320 and C540 gases, the most expensive. I know I couldn't harvest the complete sites, because I am not still able to deal with the sleepers, but at least some quick "ninja-harvesting" would be feasible.

I came back to the tower and I offered in the corp channel the chance to join my fleet to harvest some. Only Avam TheRock joined, and we jumped into the C6.

We started with the C320, and meanwhile Avam was showing me how faster his Venture was compared with mine. The reason behind was the rigs he was using. I told him I'd have to plug some of those on mine also to gain that improvement. I found later, they proved useful.
