There have been posts (below) regarding the awful wreck looting issue. I gave up after TBing half of Lvl4 Pirate Invasion room. 40% of the wrecks yielded loot, which was, as usual, pretty crummy. The rest was just a total waste of time.



And then outlined in more detail:



Still gotta wait til Tuesday 04/12. Now, the thing is, wrecks aren't totally 100% salvagable. There's still a percentage thing to this. You can end up salvaging repeated cycles with no result. Which would mean even more time sucked up in post-mission vacuuming.

On another note, the damn contracts page.



I think the escrow system was by far much more organised. It was certainly easier to scroll through, especially by price. Only drawback was the scams. Hopefully it'll be easier to run through the contracts now.

Can I have your stuff?


Really now. Revelations is a WIP. To expect it to work perfectly from the get-go is like expecting... Ok, I was gonna say something about Dan, but he *is* my corpie and all, so I won't, but you know where I'm going with this lah.

Ultimately, they will sort out the most pressing issues, and it's up to us to live with the end result and work our way around it to make some isk and have some fun.

Yup?

LOL we now know Dela's fittings. Easier to pop him.

Kana, looks like Angel Strike eh. Good luck. Sucky drops. You can hope for a couple of decent implants at the end, but the standings gain isn't impressive.

Rats seem to be putting up a slight amount of resistance now. They don't pop as quick. BCs used to take 3 volleys to pop. Now it's near 4. I could take out two 400-500k BS without having to reload, but I run out of missiles before the second pops.

On the plus side, missiles now take up hardly any space in my cargo

On the minus side, wrecks are a pain in the ass. I dun bother TBing and looting in the mission ship. I just sit still, and let them all come into orbit, and pop them. Most frig wrecks are under 15km, and the bigger ships outside that sphere. I return with a hauler, twin TBs and a couple of cargo scanners.

Survey at IV, Mech at V. I dunno whether to commit to Survey V cos they're nerfing the prereqs. It'll be Tuesday by the time it finishes anyways. I think I'll wait and suffert the looting nightmare for a couple more days.

Of course come back in hauler lah! Got BS wrecks... You know how many Arby Cruise Launchers and Local Hull Xpanders I've gotten from BS cans recently? Not that many, but enough to make it worthwhile.

Besides, the crappy loot I get all ends up smelted. And trust me, it all adds up. Running a single lvl 4 kill agent from 0 to 9.something, you stand to end up with hundreds of millions worth of minerals from smelted loot.

Ah but if only they didn't nerf those delightful drone missions...

Anyways, I've got a dinner tonight, and there's stuff to do over the weekend, so I won't be able to put a lot of time online. Gonna just wait it out until the wreck flagging and the salvage prereqs are sorted.

Wah yumi sure interested in slavage... although she @ Lvl V already

aiyah... we won't shoot you lah. Dan, maybe.

I been playing NVN2 and CoH. But so half-heartedly...

I wanna clear the Guri X...

I also wanna buy x360. Got bonus already

Edit 1: 9 more mins...

Edit 2: Shaff stinks.

Why not?

Eh your mission still not finished ah?

We are go! Go go go!

Ok, we are not so go!

Bloody bulk acquisitions...

I use a Corm.

6x Salvager I, 2x TB.

1x med batt, 1x cap recharge, 1x sensor booster and 1x AB.

1x nano.

I drag a couple of wrecks behind me as I move to the next batch of wrecks, and put 3x Salvagers on each wreck. It's pretty quick. Works fairly fast, but the problem is emptying out the loot first. Best done when the ship is stationary to maximise efficiency, cos looting requires less than 1.5km, and salvaging less than 5km.

Still, on Guri X last night with several sprawled out wreckfields, it took more than an hour to clear the last 3 rooms, cos, well, wrecks have the same couple of hour timer as lootcans. Pulled in about 40+ parts, but not many of those critical ones (which usually end with "Circuit")

PS I just noticed the Christmassy snowflake background.

Wonder if we get snowball launchers this year.

Aps and his constantly bugged portrait:

The real deal. Look how smart he looks with his white uniform and the hairdresser thing on his head. No horns, at least.



Now, the freaky look. Floating head in a salon. Which I don't really understand, cos he has no hair.

Titan was bound to go down eventually. Who knows what really happened, whether CYVOK logged or dc'd. Anyways, anyone joining BoB?

Haha kana caught Red logging out... and if my shields were all the way down like that, I'd be in the middle of a cardiac arrest. I dun think I could ever armor tank...

2 or 3 more days to Cruiser V.

Seriously with this salvage crap, lvl 4s are taking forever. I used to finish 2 in the time I'd spend to do 1 and salvage it.

But on the bright side, I've got nearly enough for a couple of rigs just off a few missions, so I guess it can't be all that bad.

I don't do as many kill missions nowadays, Yumi. Maybe if I get a Guri Xvaganza, but those I tend to decline cos it takes way too long.

You wouldn't happen to want to do an Enemies Abound, would you?

Once only lah, with Ache. Where got weekly.

No. Dan will always be behind you

I made my first rig last nite, and stuck it in Jita to sell. I hope it sold.
