quick question because I've never tried: Can capital modules be put into a non-capital ship slot and left offline? Or does the game prevent that kind of shenanigan?

I was thinking about moving a ton of cap mods by fitting them to interceptors and jumping them.... in my dreadnaught

Landsknecht posted:you have a pretty high setup cost - 1 carrier per system usually, which is 3-7 carriers depending on where you are Wouldn't it be even safer now because you have no range problems? You can align towards your warp out point 100% of the time and never have to worry about losing lock for your fighters.

In the process of learning ninja gas harvesting. Just made 21 mil in an hour, which I know the grand scheme is minuscule but I think it's decent for a 5 day old trial account. Question: I know that the time limit is around 20 minutes before the sleepers arrive. When I leave the site at say 17 minutes, will the sleepers still arrive even though I am gone? and if so how long until they leave so that I can come back and get the rest of the gas?

the Gaffe posted:Do the rats never de-spawn then? Typically an organized daytrip group will bring in both huffers and pve ships. They trigger all of the gas timers and then do sleeper sites for 15 minutes. Then they hit all of the gas sites, clear the sleepers, and the miners are free to do their thing. As a solo newbie your best bet is to just find a hole with a lot of gas signatures and move every 15 mins.

The bastion module's new 1000% sensor strength bonus is insane. You can't get a hit on a golem using a single eccm scripted sensor booster + unmindlinked sensor integrity link using a max skilled tengu with 2 of each scanning midslots, 2 scanning rigs, sister's probe launcher, sister's probes and mid-grade virtue alpha - delta (adding any other implants gets you a hit).

Landsknecht posted:probably, but you could also get scanned down by a non-d-scannable recon then dropped You can warp to L5s at range if you have someone in fleet (you don't get the warp at range options if you don't the ability to fleet warp or a bookmark on grid). Anyone who warps to the mission grid warp to the beacon. If they warp to the probe result at 100, they will warp to the beacon at 100 from the direction they came from. So assuming they aren't warping from the same celestial cluster as you, they won't land on top of you. One thing that did change with this patch is carrier's signature radius, so you're a bit easier to probe, but you can have eccm scripted sensor boosters to make it a bit harder. Between those two things and the fact that you can align in 15 seconds without mwding (to avoid sig bloom) and warp at 4au/s+...I'd say that L5s are still comically safe.

The community in this game has been pretty great to me. Been learning completely on my own and so far 3/4 deaths (https://zkillboard.com/character/96396842/) the player who killed me reimbursed the value of my cargo and sent me an email apologizing since they saw I was a brand new player. Each death was due to an overlook on my part that I've learned from. Is there a way to check from a killmail to see what an attacking player had equipped? Or does it only show everything for the killed player. I'm trying to figure out if my latest death was due to the player pinning down the two warp cores on the Venture or my ship was simply having trouble re-aligning to my jump point after the player bumped into me.

Not directly, you can only see the weapon they used (and zkillboard can be kind of screwy with that). However if you look at their losses you can usually figure out what they were doing. If your venture had a couple warp core stabs plus its native bonus, and the other guy doesn't typically fly with dual scrams, you probably just didn't warp in time. Also, if the dude was nice enough to reimburse you he'd probably be happy to give you advice and tell you how he got you if you ask.

Interceptors aren't generally useful in w-space, so I imagine that guy who killed you fit specifically for the job, Gaffe. He probably had two warp scramblers or a disruptor and a scrambler to overcome the Venture's innate warp core stabilization.

You can also get a general idea based on the range they engaged from and what modules they used on you.

Given you say preferably missile based, I think that the angry roofing shingle might be your best bet. Well, this side of a Tengu. 6x launchers of your choice. 2x Ballistic Control System II 3x Medium Core Defensive Purger II 1x Adaptive Invulnerability Field II 2x Medium Shield Extender II 2x Shield Power Relay II 3x Shield Recharger II You have one utility highslot left over which you can put whatever in. I'd suggest a tractor beam (because slowboating to mission cans is almost as bad as everything else about missions) or a probe launcher (so that you can find a low-level wormhole and lose your drake again). I have left the above setup unattended orbiting an MTU in a L3 mission for 2 hours, so unless you're going out of your way to rack up the spawns you should be OK. Downsides: you will probably die of boredom IRL waiting for things to die.
