BIG ISK Gas Huffing In A 10m VENTURE!! || EVE Online

[@brianchristopher8843]

If you find a vast, bountiful, vital, or instrumental that is previously untouched you can warp to the cloud and move 260-270km from the warp in point and create a book mark called "gas spot" warp out to any other location and warp back to gas spot saving a gas perch on your way back in. (This all done in a cloaky scan ship btw) warp to the perch and cloak up to remain hidden while you wait for rats to spawn. Bring back the huffer once the rats are on grid. Sit at zero on the gas spot and huff in peace. As long as you warp off as soon as you see combats you can never be blown up. If anyone scans the site and tries to warp in they will warp into the rats and have to leave. They have to use combats to get a direct warp in and if you are like me, they wont complete the scan before youve warped off thanks to dcan. I huff with two prospect that have syndicate gas scoops and have had a bunch of people try to get the drop on me with no luck. With this technique you can have a porpoise join in with boosts and compression when you are full. Dont stay in siege mode though. Always watch for combat probes and be ready to leave. Happy huffing! o7

[@captainbenzie]

Nice!!!

[@jjbrentson4519]

So sitting in the bookmark spot causes the rats to spawn there instead of the actual cloud?

[@Amathylar]

I dont get what perch is or why would you huff from a point 250 km away from the cloud?! Is there a video that explains fhis?

[@brianchristopher8843]

The rats spawn at the warp in spot. It's the spot that has the red square denoting the anomaly and is also where your bookmark goes when you book mark the anomaly from your probe window. The clouds are so big that you can be 270km or more from the warp in spot and still be at 0 on the cloud.

A corp mate and I were huffing in a c2 yesterday when we got rolled up on my an anathema. naturally if we can see a covert ops ship on grid something is fishy. so we fleet warped away to our safe. well 15 seconds later a hecate and a loki rolled up on grid at our safe. luckily we managed to get back to our highsec hole without any losses. netted me almost 40mil.

[@szpoti]

If you see a covert ops ship on grid, that means somebody has fucked up terribly. Usually, when you see covert ops at all, you're seeing them from your pod. Dscan is your friend,!

[@Nuovoswiss]

Only thing I would add is use a cheap exploration frigate to do the initial scanning, will greatly speed up the tedium of scanning. Also your profits go way up when you're also uncovering data and relic sites, since you're scanning most things down anyway.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup! This video is based on my wormhole series where I've suggested exactly that. I only suggest the Probe Launcher here in case you need to scan a new hole ☺️

[@couerl]

It's also worth mentioning that gas harvesters in a barge will suck up gas twice as fast and hold twice as much as a venture/prospect and while the Coveter gets the best bonus, it also has the smallest hold and so you need a porpoise to compress and store gas for them. This is great if you're in a group, but if you want to go solo, a Retriever is the way to go. One load of gas will pay for a barge, roughly 60 mil in 30 mins depending on gas type, so if you get jumped once every four or five times out, you're still making more than a prospect and providing content to wormholers who like to hunt. If you put a mobile depot in a Ret with a probe scanner and cloak or scout in advance with heron, you can be in and out with twice the gas in the same amount of time. There are a lot of empty wormholes 2-3 jumps from High Sec in the game where you can tuck yourself away and make pretty good isk and be reasonably safe.

[@captainbenzie]

Great tips! For barges, I personally like the Hulk as I got mine to sub 5s warp time

[@couerl]

@@captainbenzie The Hulk is a great ship, but it costs 4 times as much as a Ret and you can build Rets with only basic minerals you mine anyways, so it's easier to replace them IMO. I'm not sure how fast mine is, but I have low friction nozzles on and its probs under 7 secs. Great channel, have a good day.

[@keldon_champion]

I often do low sec gas huffing as well and it really is nice that you can make enough in a few hours to replace the ship a dozen times over. I have since upgraded to a prospect which is a bit more painful to lose but I am also more comfortable and a lot less likely to lose due to the safety a cov-ops cloak provides.

[@drawmaster77]

lol after losing a few prospects to pirates I've resorted to running this (almost exact) cheapest venture fit, except I am using scoops 2. What I do is find a remote low pop system where I set up my camp. I send in a venture, find a wh there and find gas site, mine it until npcs spawn, then jump in my cruiser, kill npcs, then back with venture and afk mine until full or gas site is empty. Being a such a cheap fit (around 14 mil with scoops 2) it pays for itself many times over before something kills it. Also I can't be bothered with D-Scanning all the time and staring at asteroids for hours, so I just run game in background. Also maybe it's just luck but I've noticed pirates rarely care to waste time hunting my venture, but they are much more enticed to hunt down my expensive prospects. The other last suggestion I have is to still keep orbiting the gas cloud (reduce speed to make sure its under 1500m), that way when NPCs spawn they will be 90+km away instead of right on top of you like in this video and you have lots of time to react.

Run some mining ops in said Venture, earn 40m (doable in a couple of days) and use the Million Free SP (from my referral code) to get enough skills to do that, and have enough left to train the Gas Harvesting skill to at least 2.

6:33 I've already scanned down this class 4... that's the part I actually wanted to learn. How did you find it? What was the scan approach. E.g., do you first scan for wormholes in a given system? Then, once in the WH, do you start scanning random X's until you find one? What does it say when you find it?

[@captainbenzie]

I've covered this in other videos, but yeah. Scan down wormholes, find a safe space inside, scan the signals. If no gas, move through to a new connection and continue. If you're using Pathfinder or Tripwire, document as you go 😊

problem is , when you fill your cargo where do you drop your gas ? there is no stations in the same system in null sec ? do you travel a lot just to deliver it then transport them to jita via a cargo ship ? do you have any better way ?

[@captainbenzie]

Personally I'm in a wormhole corp so I head back to our station, drop it off then use a DST or Blockade Runner to move it to market (if I'm not selling direct to corp) When I was nomadic, I'd jump into a wormhole from K-Space, fill up, then jump back out. I'd always be based fairly close. Either collect at a "home" station and haul from there, or just use the Prospect to take it straight to market, depending.

[@lIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI]

"This is all you need" Ok lil bro, did we conveniently forget about the other 40m?

[@JuanLiPuma]

One minor detail that I didn't get is why you jumped to the star and from there to the exit wormhole instead of straight to the wormhole. Was this for convenience, or was it a strategic choice? If the latter, could you explain why it's a good idea to do this? Also, is it a good idea to go back or will the sleepers still be there? For how long? Should I go to a new site altogether? This kind of information helps me close the full "loop" of the process. Thanks =)

I warped to the sun simply because it was the fastest thing to warp to If you spot players in the system, warp to a SAFE, not a hole or sun, as it may already be bubbled.

Great vid but what is missing is the price of the Gas Cloud harvesting skill book. At the mo it is a whopping 39 million isk.

Unless you know if a way to get the skill book cheaper?

Nope. It's all to do with "velocity vectors". Imagine arrows that grow outwards from the centre of your ship. If you're going in a direction at 100% speed, you have a 100% speed arrow going in that direction. When you go to warp, that arrow needs to slow down, turn to within 5° of the destination and speed back up to at least 75%. If you're not going in a direction, the arrow is at zero and not pointing in any direction. When you hit "Warp To" from stationary, the arrow just starts to grow in the direction already.

Sorry bub, but this one gets a thumbs down without even watching. Gas huffing? Let's see.... I tried that miserable get-ISK-Fast trick. -39mil for the skill injector (keep in mind, that brought me down to about 9 mil balance), the damned basic scoops were another 5.197mil - each, to refit the Venture to make Big ISK! Hours and Hours invested simply trying to _find_ a gas cloud. Two lost ships due to Null space mishaps travelling to/from where I finally found a gas site, including my Salvager turned gas gatherer. This was before I bit the bullet to put two scoops on the Venture; Jump Cat, the Salvager only had one, -5.1 mil, down the drain. By the time I finally got past the Gate sitters and back to the system with the wormhole... it was gone. More fruitless scanning. Total investment: 16-20 hours of scanning down time. To be fair, there was a +7 mil gain for one Relic site along the way, and a mil or two more from having met daily goals for scanning goals. ~ 38 mil ISK in lost ships ~ 18 mil ISK in ship upgrades, collecting dust, but no gas, and no ISK ~ 39 mil ISK Skill injector for Gas harvesting So, 95 million ISK for no return? After days of scanning and playing? That's not making "100 ISK/hr!"

[@captainbenzie]

I'm sorry that was your experience and that you've taken this as a kind of "Day One" guide. This was aimed at players who are keen to try gas huffing. Sure, everything has an initial investment (look into how much getting set up for C5 ratting will cost you) and takes time to earn back. 20 hours of scanning seems extreme. Admittedly, I live in a wormhole and have a wormhole corp around me, but pretty much every connection we have has at least one gas site in, often many. At that point, yeah, I'm making 100m an hour easily. I'm sorry, but I really rally against the concept of "pricing up" the cost of lost ships (fly safe and smart, you're fast, if you're D-Scanning properly you should ever get caught) or the cost of Skill Injectors 😅

This is wrong. Utterly wrong. To warp, two things must happen: 1) You must be aligned with 5° of the target. 2) You must be moving at 75% of your maximum velocity, or faster. Ship facing doesn't matter, it's just graphics, what DOES matter is your ships velocity and velocity has a direction. If you are moving directly away from the destination, you must slow down, realign, and reaccelerate to 75% in the correct direction. If you are motionless, your velocity is zero and you accelerate at the exact same rate in ANY direction. The "Time to Warp" in the fitting screen is based on you being stationary. You will only instawarp if you are moving at 75% max velocity in the correct direction (facing within 5° of the target)
