Race for a Mag Site


Ammatar Fleet Testing Facilities at planet IX in system Camal
Camal is a 0.2 system in region Derelik, 2 jumps from high sec. It is a dead-end system with a seemingly constant presence. The surrounding low sec appears to regularly scanned. I explored 5 systems, including 1 high sec and found 2 ladar sites, 2 plexes, and 4 mag sites (3 in high sec).

The low sec mag was tough to pinpoint without scan rigs. But I finally got it. Then a -8.7 pirate shows up scanning (I saw him in the previous system). I had a Falcon in the site, cloaked up. I had a Legion in the middle of no-where, waiting. I figured I would let him come into the site, then the Falcon would jam, scram, and web, and I would bring in the Legion and pop him. But he didn't seem to be able to pinpoint it so I worked the site, left, it de-spawned, and he left the system.

One of the ladars was a drug site, PDW-90FX Frentix Distribution. I usually work low sec drug sites with battleships; which, of course, I don't have in my wormhole. I scouted it and there was only one site can. The initial wave was 3 BS, 3 cruisers, 4 frigs, and 2 transports.

I worked the site. The second wave more BS, Cruisers, and frigs. I didn't count. There was a lieutenant guy in a frigate and he had a booster BPC: Synth Frentix Booster Blueprint. Listed in contracts at 10 million. I will not hold my breath on that one. Otherwise, 9.2 million in bounties and 6.7 million in salvage and loot. Kinda bla for the work and risk.

This is the second "bla" drug site I have worked in the past few years and they used to have a much higher payout. I used to find some 3-4 years ago in Caldari low sec.
