First contact

Based on feedback from experienced players, I updated a little my Imicus setup. It now has more speed and has three Acolytes for damage. I’ll switch drones later based on rats.

I was on my way to buy a new Sisters Probe to get better scanning strength but decided to scan first my home system. I found 8 signatures (6 unknown) and started to scan those down.

First one was radar type and I was thrilled. I finally find something. Scanned it down little by little and finally got it 100%.

I recalled my probes and jumped on 30 km range from the site. It includes about 6-8 rats but because I didn’t know how hard those were I started to get closer little by little to get first hits. Those were Centii Servants and I quickly got attention when I went closer. Turned over, kicked my afterburners and launched drones. I was ready to hit armor repair if needed but suddenly I realize something…three targets were gone and I didn’t even got single hit. My Acolyte drones, which I thought would be pretty much useless, dropped those Servants so fast that I didn’t even noticed. I have used to little harder rats on my missions so far.

I killed other rats (or my drones did), cracked those containers and salvaged the wrecks. From the first site I got two Sacred Manifesto and some smaller loot.

Then I returned the the station, did some repairs to drones and scanned second signal. It was also a radar! Scanning that down to 100% took awhile and I was close to call it off. Got it 99.99% and first it seemed that I can’t get it to 100%. But some probe re-arrangement I finally managed to get it done.

Second radar site was pretty much same than previous site regarding difficulty. So it was quite fast farmed. I have to though point out that my drone skills are decent so that helps me a little. I found there one Sacred Manifesto more and one Formation Layout.

It was over midnight on that point so I had to hit the bed and leave those other sites intact. But for 1.5 hour job I was tired but pretty pleased what I got. You can see my gathered statistics below and estimated values on my region and based on EVE-Central info.
