I scanned down 8 or so more highsec relic and data sites tonight and almost doubled my wallet. Found a ton of wormholes and an ice mining site, too. I may buy another scanning frigate hull with fit and try scanning some w space stuff but I think I will wait until I sub and can train cloaking and another clone so I don't lose my +1s when I get exploded. I think I made some miners nervous when I jumped into a belt to check out what they were doing, they warped out pretty quick. Why would they be afraid of a heron?

You can do it if you want to but you won't ever make it rich off mining and it gimps your account (mining skills don't translate into anything else). In addition the top tier mining ships aren't really that amazing, they basically just get steadily better at harvesting and tanking until they...don't anymore. Like ol matey said though gas huffing on the other hand: - Takes very little skill investment - Is a much more isk efficient - Will introduce you to a bunch of actually good mechanics

Started a trial a couple days ago, decided to learn how to do scanning for data/relic stuff in lowsec. I've blown up a handful of times. Learned how to check the map for recent kills in a system to see if it's safe to pass through it (first death by gate camp). Figured out how to use the d-scan to see if someone entering the system is looking for you by checking for combat probes (second death someone just warped in while i was sitting in dead space honing in a signature scan). This third death I could use input if there was something else I could have done: I was hauling back some stuff, I was one jump away from highsec, in a system that was the border between a 0.2 system and a 0.7 one. I came in and at the gate was a single player with a -10 security status. Didn't seem like he would have time to do anything to me before I de-cloaked and jumped to the next gate, so I did just that. Upon getting near my destination the first thing I see is the bottom right corner notification about the kill confirm. The gate didn't even load on my screen before a smart bomb wiped me out. I must have been the first death because the map didn't say any recent death had occurred in the system. That aside though, what could I have done to prevent this death under these circumstances? I wasn't even aware I could die between the time of exiting warp and jumping a gate without a bubble preventing me from getting the needed distance. I assume a smart bomb is the only way to do this? In these border systems should I just never warp to within 0 km on a gate, staying out of range of a smart bomb? Was that guy I saw at the starting gate in on it? Did he just notify his friend someone had just warped toward his gate and to activate a pre-emptive bomb? Not sure if there's a time delay on them or their damage effect occurs over a period of time. oh and one more note: I know a cloaking device would be useful in my ventures but I can't learn the skill while on a trial.

Figured out how to use the d-scan to see if someone entering the system is looking for you by checking for combat probes (second death someone just warped in while i was sitting in dead space honing in a signature scan). warp to something not between the gates, preferably a planet close to the gate but perpendicular or at least at some sort of vaguely wide angle and you can scan it to see if you want to go, smart bombs dont cover anywhere near the radius of the gate so unless it's a giant and bad system you can usually just land out of range of him smartbombs instantly do damage, but there's a chance the other guy was a scout yes, but you also show up as you land on grid and it can be timed to gently caress your face

There are a couple ways you could go about avoiding those. The first would be to make 'tacticals' or bookmarks that are around 170-200km off of the gate so you can warp to those before warping down to the gate, so you can see what's on gate before approaching it. You can also just warp to the gate at a range other than 0, because the smartbombers are generally going to be sitting right at 5-7.5km off of the gate so they can be within smartbomb range as soon as you land. Sometimes if you warp to a nearby celestial, such as just a planet or customs office, you can D-Scan in the direction of the gate you're going to to make sure there's nobody on it, and in that case, I believe the most common smartbombing ships are usually Battleships, and I've seen a few people use the Proteus for it. But usually people will smartbomb on gates in pipe systems that just have two gates, so they can just D-Scan in the direction of the entrance gate, sit in line with the entrance gate and smartbomb on the exit gate.

Ahh, I hadn't considered that the smartbomb's range wouldn't cover anywhere near the whole gate. That makes sense.

yeah they have like a 10k radius roughly, and gate radius is normally like 30-50k from the model of the gate i think? certain gate types have a much larger radius as well

Yeah they usually just cover the landing area from whatever gate they're lined up with, warping in from pretty much any other celestial will be out of range generally.

To avoid lowsec gate poo poo altogether, scan for wormholes instead and hide out in the chain, running the sites within, then when you have enough scan until you get a highsec exit then do it again. It's a bit of a PITA learning how wormholes work but it's worth it in the long run - realizing with a bit of scanning you can basically get from anywhere to anywhere else is amazing. When I left goons I evacced my poo poo to highsec through a lowsec->highsec chain starting in E-FIC0 lol
