Please tell me more about Grand Theft Mining Drone.

If you get very far away from your drones (250km?), they disconnect just as if you'd warped off. Then the drones can be picked up out of space by anyone. So if a highsec miner is totally afk you can steal the drones by bumping for 5 minutes.


(People also did this in nullsec, but to rorquals with their super-drones that cost a bil each. And they did it with the command destroyer boosh module instead of bumps.)

I DID A BIG CACA IN MY DRUG STORE DIAPER

This is now the hisec mining thread!

Today I solo'd a Guristas Forward Operating Base in a loving Gila, because I failed to trick the local population into killing it. Gave it a few days, but was tired of jumping gates with my orcas every morning like some kind of peasant.

It took... way too many hours, especially of planning and testing, would not recommend.

i was catching up with a friend of mine whose corp live in a couple pochven systems and apparently when they're running sites in a group they all have alts orca mining rakovene and poo poo and they're clearing 120m/hr just afk mining. but they have to fit a good tank or the orcas get torched when the normal npc fleets warp to the ore anoms.

the entire conversation underscored how much ive never seen mining as a worthwhile activity :(

Or, instead of subbing and skulking up mining alts, just buy plex with the money you would have spent subbing and training up alts and sell them for isk.

Unless, of course, you are a dumbo like me and find it relaxing to suck crock.

So I succumbed and re-regd. How long is an appropriate time to wait for getting re-authed? I'm at 24 ish hours now but understand that auth is probably busy doing anything else in the world.


Also, I appear to have a few skins from way back when that I activated but could claim again today? Golem Kaalakiota, Kronos Federali, Paladin Blood Raiders, and Vargur Thukker. What gives?

yeah so as some posters have said, once you get bumped far enough away from your drones, you disconnect from them and they can be scooped. So I use a cheetah to get me a warpin and bump the orca with the omen. if he's not paying any attention, great - get the drones at your leisure. If they ARE paying attention but dont scoop the drones as soon as they see you on grid, you simply follow the drones in your cheetah. you can bump the orca faster than the drones can move, so the only recourse is for them to try and warp, and as soon as they warp the drones are abandoned and you can get them with the cheetah that is following the drones.

In my defence I wasn't on comms (I'm back in hospital and coording very awkwardly because of it). But when I get back on comms I'll do my best to pick up on this stuff.

I'll take the ping feedback on board and make it a bit clearer in the future (I didn't make the initial foehammer ping but I love foehammer and israd)
