I’ve made about 100m ISK since learning about high sec anomalies but I’m getting kind of bored with it. Mission running sounds fun but I’m not on consistently enough or for long enough stretches for lengthy goon pve ops. Part of me just wants to load out a stealth bomber and help clear out the horseshoe...

Ha, I feel that. I made my first 1B in plex off high sec anom farming but after publishing the guide I honestly just.... can't anymore. I've sinced moved to duo storyline running since I have 2x combat characters and Mallers are just amazing. I'm not so sure I'd recommend them solo though, because as a solo you just have too many stupid things to deal with like many elites that have MWD, some plate/extender, repairer/booster, or some combination of the 3, and stick to your rear end orbiting you while the rest of the enemy NPC fleet catches up. The reason why I mention MWD, extenders, repairers etc specifically is because MWD gets them on your rear end in record time so you need to have webs to slow them down enough so you can hit them, extenders are absolute bullshit because if you don't dps enough they just keep throwing up the buffer and you can't do anything, and repairers work even while you're chipping away at the buffer or while you're warping out and repairing at the station. Some cruisers/battlecruisers have a combination of all 3 (most notably the elite Thorax at Super Soft Drink #1 on the 4th wave) which make them extremely frustrating to fight against as a solo, yet a duo will handle such obstacles completely fine, often not facing a single buffer or a second one.

That being said - generally, every storyline mission including T10s is soloable by any faction in a sniper fit cruiser but soloing them is pretty rear end for the reasons mentioned above. But it can be done.

If you are a solo with no alt character or anything and really still want to make ISK, I recommend upgrading to running Scouts/Inquisitors in nullsec using the information you've acquired from farming special anoms in highsec. There's a tad bit more risk involved since it's nullsec, but even a Omen can solo T7s. Admittedly, it takes a long rear end time but that's where the real money is. After I check out farming T10s I am going to start doing nullsec special anom farming and general home defense like these beautiful KF guys have been doing in Delve.

There are a few guys in KF who have been pvping in the general "beehives" in/around Delve who are making profit. There are a LOT of players who don't know what they're doing but have ISK to spend on ridiculous fittings. Definitely look into the stealth bomber! I think you need backup to make it work efficiently though, or exclusively hunt people in anomalies.

We've been having pretty decent luck on drops from killing people in M-OEE8, which also happens to be where our miners like to go to eat rocks, since it's only 1 jump from Taisy and has spod (spod is good because it turns into trit and pyerite, which we need a ton of for making ships).

It's the #standing-fleet channel in discord. Check out the scrollback and if it looks like something you'd enjoy, you are highly encouraged to grab a few friends whenever you feel like it and kick some unauthorized miners out of our belts. Also, the miners will love you for it.

It’s also great for jumping on people at planets who are managing their PI and not watching their overview. If you’re sneaky enough you can grab all their cans as they launch before you gank them.

I'm definitely done doing so in Caldari space with a destroyer. It's perfectly fine elsewhere. But, Caldari space lacks dead end high sec systems and is overpopulated. I'll only try again in Caldari space with an inty and even then only to steal cans from pubbies.

Speaking of interceptors, did you know the slasher's wings move into an X position now? If only other minmatar ships had advantages other than a little bit of speed.

If you deselect all the boxes in the ships category, you can filter by standing, and it will still show the ship type in the right panel with the filter tags.

You can also make and save multiple overviews for different stuff.

So heads up, tomorrows patch notes are patching up the autopilot exploit.

If you didn't know, if you activated autopilot, you could not be pointed. I tested this out in a Kryos, going from nullsec to nullsec station, being pointed by 10 neutrals, and I still escaped unharmed as long as I had autopilot up.

We've had a bunch of caracals escape our clutches because they have autopilot ready to go. Alot of these pubbies will not be reading patch notes and still think autopilot is safe.

So over the next few days get out there and get your kills before the pubbies realize they're not safe anymore.

Today, I am screwing around in high sec anomalies with a Burst. It's the fastest frigate that's pilotable right now, other than the Burst II, which costs too drat much for 7 extra m/s. I fit it with a MWD, an autocannon and a remote shield booster. My primary goal is to steal from pubbies running highsec scout+ sites. But I am also going to try to deny, or at least delay, the final kill to get into looting position. I am also hoping this will piss off anyone in one of my regular farming sites enough to go somewhere else if it proves effective against destroyers.
