Late to the party but funfact: In Ye Old days, we had to place a single probe at each planet with a 4 AU radius and scan, and boy did we scan, if you did not get a hit, you could always scan again

[@BonkersY2K]

I remeber having thousands of bookmarks just for probing and the cans of duplicate copies to share with new alliance members when they joined so we had a scanning network lol 😆 the pain, I miss those days #EveClassic?

[@BonkersY2K]

I'm still here, I just had major surgery so everything is on hold. I dont make much eve content because it just means repeating the same stuff as it never changes, the isk making guides still work, the mission builds still work, and remaking a video for the sake of it I think devalues the point. There is a newer build version using a vedmak you might want to take a look at I think its called 2021 isk guide or something 😉

[@MisterMannIndy]

Wow. Just wow. Thank you for sharing your EVE knowledge. I am a 2 month old newbro and learned so much from this education session! First off, you're welcome ... I am one of those idiots leaving combat sites unfinished. LOL! I always wondered what the big deal about them was since I rarely got anything good from loot. I feel stupid now, but learned the lesson - thank you. Also, the 4AU trick on scanning ... brilliant! Of course, I am also making the mistake of taking out the towers/batteries first. Geez, no wonder it feels like I'm just unlucky - nope, I'm doing it wrong! I am a month away from your posted fit from a skills standpoint, but am off to practice in my Vexor. Thanks for all the tips!!!!

Hello Sir, really good video, thank you! I am a lil bit confused about one part thou: Which sites do you run exactly? Is it Combat Anomalies or Cosmic Signatures-> Combat Sites? I saw you doing Hideaway, Refuge (anoms). But also Hideout, Lookout, Vigil? Could you maybe give a List of which you recommend?

[@BonkersY2K]

Hi phillip sorry about the confusion so you are running the combat anomolies while scanning for combat signatures.

[@deshlock03]

Good video! Random find on the video, the tip about within 4 AU of an orbital body is great. I will try it soon, also I am guilty of not reading the pop-up messages they send haha. I don't do sites very often but I will start again and try my luck. I need to watch the video once more and take notes on what not to kill and so on, because i just target w/e. The amount of money you make on average a week is insane. Even if it was a quarter of that it's good! Thanks again. - Meditrina

[@BonkersY2K]

Thanks for the feedback, the recent changes to the systems flipping have impacted this total as routing has become more of a pain. That being said I'm still getting great successes averaging about 1-2 bil a run if the lootfairy aligns lol

[@deshlock03]

@@BonkersY2K I just messaged a friend after I saw your video and said the CCP Gods smile on you haha. I've done numerous things to " attempt " to make money. But I don't stick with it.

[@BonkersY2K]

Yeah you will do well just be persistent this tends to be the biggest issue people have they make a 30 jump route and get halfway through and quit. Each system respawns sites every 15 minutes so a big route that doubles back on its is going to yield better numbers 😉

[@Raoden01]

Change the second Cap Rig to T2 then you can drop the Power Diagnostic. Put 2 Restrained Cap Flux Coils instead of the T2. No more CPU Imp needed and more Cap available :D

[@danritter1079]

I have watched your video and was excited to to give a go so I purchased the recommended fit. I was able to do level 3 DED sites without issue but found a level 4 and entered. That's when it went wrong. I was able to clear the first room but upon entering the second room I was wasted so quickly. All of my modules were active, my speed was up and I did not head directly to the rats in a straight line. It didn't matter...I didn't even have time to escape when I knew things were going south. I keep trying to review where I went wrong. My SP is strong in the related skills needed so I know I am missing something (probably piloting skills lol). Good bye 500m lol

[@BonkersY2K]

Which level 4 was it, there is only 4/10 you need to worry about which i mentioned and that was Phi-Outpost and for this one you have to break off and pull them in groups to complete it safely. Other than this as long as your in Caldari or Gallente space your fine, if your in amarr or minmatar space then I assume you switched the hardners for their specific damage which needs em and thermal dont know if that helps

[@yourheadisround]

Sorry to keep asking questions. So when you get an escalation from an Anomaly do you run that right away or do you collect a few?

Run it straight away if you have time there usually where you biggest money will come from. Just avoid jumping into low sec. As for asking questions if I can help im happy too ☺

Its a good revenue activity. I'm also adding data and relic scanners to do the data sites. But not wasting time the wormholes yeat. But yeah just running down what you say in the video is pretty good.

I’ve been using your method and have had a ton of success. Quick question, I checked out your stream and noticed that you had around 900 dps, I have almost all of the gunnery skills maxed out and the exact fit you use but I’m sitting at 350ish. Any tips?

[@BonkersY2K]

Hey Carlos, I'm so glad to hear its been going well for you, some people are still struggling to understand i think. With the DPS, Switch to Void and Null ammo. Null for anything not Battleships or Stations and Void for everything else as you get 11km range in sharpshooter. The only other thing that it could be is your support skills for the ship itself. might be worth having a look into them :)

[@KnightRaven]

Hey, any particular reason why you use that particular ship for these activities?

[@BonkersY2K]

Because of the speed and efficiency it is able to clear 3/10 some 4/10s watch and lookouts and hideouts faster than anything else out there, the next step up is the Vedmak build which is linked at the end of the video

interested to know what you can run in this as I have ran this and it was not able to survive the 4/10 the vigil or the watch...

[@Raichiyu]

Hey man, great vid. Do you think the jackdaw can rival the hecate for 4/10ded? Also what about cruiser size hulls like ishtar or gila?

[@BonkersY2K]

So the jackdaw can do ot but it requires alot more kiting and you make a mistake it will make you pay for it lol. As for the isobar and gila they work fine for the 4/10s but you won't be able to access the 3s which are faster to run and have a more frequent payout I find

[@Deveyus]

@@BonkersY2K Are you sure about cruisers not being able to enter 3/10? Eve University Wiki says cruisers can go into 3/10s.

[@BonkersY2K]

T1 can t2 and t3 won't fit

[@gerageobushma8970]

i ended up going with a confessor, think i'll be able to also run it ? it has 208 dps and 8000 ehp

[@BonkersY2K]

its going to be alot slower, your trading 1000dps down to 208dps, I dont think your going to be able to break the reps in the 4/10s, but fairplay for trying, every confessor I put together just couldn't handle it and either capped out or just couldnt kill stuff fast enough and resulted in my loosing sites.

[@auriman5146]

I run a confessor in amarr space and it does 4/10 just fine a bit slow but run beams and kite. Warp in drop mtu. Kill statis tower. Shoot structure until cruises get with 20km of closest cruiser. take a 90 left or right and make a big square or triangle keeping cruisers 15k or further away. Kiting them. Destroy all the cruisers then go back to the structure. Have not tried against anything but BR and sansha. I mainly stay in amarr space anyway. Now every other site does extremely well and fast every site. Not done a vigil cause honestly I’ve nvr scared one down that wasn’t already being ran.

[@auriman5146]

Awesome content by the way gona try ur new build u released afew months ago for the 2.0 running

Its had some fantastic results it replaced my hecate although the hecate still works as it has the anom backups but I love not having to swap put hardners anymore lol

[@KrooksPhoto]

o7, first I wanna say I loved this, all great and useful. I would love a written, very brief summary though. On which sites to run and not, when to kill npc's towers and not. Just a little idea from my end, thanks! Do you have a cheaper more noob friendly (read wallet friendly) fit for this ship? Bling is nice, but trying this for the first time it's a bit hairy for some including myself to run. Once again, thanks and I will keep watching your content!

[@BonkersY2K]

I have an alpha build that is 80 mil that might help, the site guides is something I am putting together at the minite

[@BonkersY2K]

Hey Philip, just wanted to let you know the walk through for this is out 1st part atleast, that should help alot 😉

Anytime 😊

[@Bandido_Tom]

Can you please link the correct fit of your Ship: In the Video you have a Pith X-Type Kinetic Shield Hardener, in your linked Fit, instead a Small 'Wolf' Shield Extender. If i try to use the Pith X-KSH, i run out of by 24.0 CPU - BTW; nice Video

[@BonkersY2K]

The fit is correct and is as it should be, your fitting issues is tied into a missing magic 14 skill most like in navigation or weapon upgrades this is where 99% of the people having issues has a problem. I have put a video out that gives you a list of these

[@mattm7007]

Angel Cartel sites don't seem to escalate, I don't think you covered this. Also you said tank EM/Thermal for Angels, but they deal Explosive/Kinetic. Why do you use a 400m Hecate out of interest? I use an 80mil Jackdaw and it does them faster with less risk.

[@BonkersY2K]

The reason for the hecate is it can also run the escalations too, so 3/10 and 4/10s as well, the angel sites were not included in the list 😉

[@lelibrepanzer4913]

Better income than ded 10 in null sec stonks ccp keep nerfing burners so nullsec will be useless

[@cd4953]

Hey thanks for the video. Quick question - the sites I want to do for a chance at an escalation are "Hideaway", "Refuge", and "Lookout", correct? Any others? I was having a bit of trouble figuring out which sites I do and which sites I skip.

[@BonkersY2K]

Yup

[@claven1231]

I'm not sure I understand the leaving the turrets alive thing. What mechanic is that where if they are destroyed it can stifle future spawn waves (if I'm understanding it correctly)? I can't find any info about that and no other guide I've seen mentions that. Is this just an anecdotal superstition thing? I'm inclined to believe you, but it's just a weird tidbit of info I can't seem to find anymore information or corroboration about anywhere else. Also, thanks! Started running these sites now. I always thought they were useless and never realized there was anything more than low bounty rats in the anomalies!

[@BonkersY2K]

So the turrets are not tied to the npc site and when the site is finished anything not tied to the site is cleared, signature disapeers, structures and space stuff like platforms and such explode to clear the site which is why if you finish the site, bookmark the wreck warp off and back you will see all that's there are wrecks, so by killing the turrets you are triggering the sites cleared mechanic that ccp use to "clean up"

I have been doing this for about the past 6 hours, got 4 escalations and only got about 3mil total loot... What am I doing wrong??? I'm following the uniwiki too. Am I just unlucky?

[@BonkersY2K]

Keep going this isn't an instant win here have isk het rich quick it requires time and patience, also 6 hours is not nearly long enough to suggest it's not working you are unlikely to be passing through untitled regions at that rate 🤔

[@gernotdergeschmeidige2766]

really nice vid. is this also efficient in a jackdaw or would u recommend hecate the most?

[@BonkersY2K]

The jackdaw has to kite to perform as well and so looses out to the hecate 99% of the time so I'd take the hecate over the jackdaw everytime

[@gernotdergeschmeidige2766]

@@BonkersY2K hi i have one more question. how much dps do u have with null/void?

[@BonkersY2K]

Null is used for killing the npcs and should be your main dps, this I'm getting around 700dps, when it comes to structures and battleships use void and this will kill them faster with this ammo I'm getting 1093dps. Hope that helps

[@matthewjackson2834]

Has anyone else completed an escalation and got nothing in the final loot box (apart from the Overseer thing). Disappointing for the effort. Fantastic videos as always @bonkersy2k

[@BonkersY2K]

Yeahi had it happen yesterday on stream lol Thanks for the feedback too 😀

[@panzeresq5775]

Thanks this is cool, I do the similar thing but no nearly as efficient, will have to try, have you noticed a big drop off on loot drops recently or am I just on a bad luck run spree?

[@BonkersY2K]

i have noticed a lack of sites but put this down to an increase in runners, I am working on an omni fit that means that the run can be expanded out to all 4 regions and 5 npc's. However Trig sov changes are making planning routes problematic

[@rayderrich]

Even after playing for years I am way too scared to go for those escalation sites, although the loot can be awesome.

[@BonkersY2K]

Yeah I am almost determined to beat it now! Lol

[@Shiftry87]

This guy know more then me in this topic not denying that, however shooting the towers DO NOT effect your chans of getting an escalation. I´m using a drone boat and even if i´m not locking up the turrets my drones very often tend to auto target them during the time i´m locking up the next wave of rats and there have never been a situation where a wave have stopped spawning just becouse the turrets got killed. It would be more accurate to say that the turrets have no effect what so ever so if u wanna run this as fast as possable u should just pretend they are not there. I have hade many Guerista spawn and escelations show up after killing the turrets both on purpose or by the drones. So avoid them if u wanna speed run it or kill them if u get annoyed by them it dosent make a diffrence what so ever other then having 2-4 extra targets to shoot at. If turrets does effect things i would very mutch like to know where u got that source from becouse i have actually tried to find info on this and no eve info page i have seen have said that this is the case.

[@BonkersY2K]

So each wave averages between 3 and 5 waves and after running them for a very long time I began to notice a pattern, killing the towers meant that the most frequently only got 3/4 waves, however not destroying the turrets led to significantly more 5th waves, the reason I said not to destroy them is each wave has a chance to spawn a faction wave, it also has a chance to trigger the escalations so there for more waves equals better chances of faction or escalations. So not destroying them just improves your odds. It may only be 1 additional wave but if that wave has a faction npc that could be alot of isk or if there is an escalation then it could be even more! So you also won't find anything on the forums about spawn rates, algorithms or any of that information ccp keep that stuff locked up tighter than the Vatican secrets lol 😆 anyway hope that helps 😉

[@vz2993]

Thanks for the video, I just subscribed. Also, I must be a bit mentally deficient but I cannot make that 4AU scan tip to work. How do you pick the celestial body to scan? Sometimes there are 3 or 4 of them in a single signature... And does your method also work with combat sites from anomalies or only from cosmic signatures? Sorry if that sounds dumb I just started a week ago.

[@johngunther6333]

These guides feature a lot of good tips...however, the downside is the difficulty in actually selling the stuff you collect for enough isk to make all the effort worth your while. Hardly any thing you are able to loot sells for the estimated value on the market...most items only a small fraction of that value!

[@BonkersY2K]

No they sell very well, very very well, dont just limit yourself to Jita though, that is just nonsensical

[@macnuggets2974]

can this be done in other ships? cant quite run the t3 yet. Also is an Armor tank ok to run these site or is there more of an advantage to shield tanks? Great video I will subscribe for more.

[@BonkersY2K]

So I have a build using armour in another video check out the 2021 version 😉 this ship is fitted with a shield tank specifically because of its versatility and output. As it is this does 1000dps but if you put armour mods in instead it drops to 400 and becomes alot more cap dependant

[@MrRayman5566]

Just came back to eve after a couple years, i used this guide before i quit and i wondered if it’s still relevant? As in is it still viable or did they change something that makes this harder or impossible?

Nope still works though I would recommend checking out the 2.0 version

[@lucag1175]

Great job, keep up the tutorials. Is there a stronger fit by any chance. Just want to go in with full confidence i dont get killed lol

[@BonkersY2K]

Its a pretty solid fit as long as you don't get over confident and do something silly like I did and put yourself in an orbit that drops you down to 50% speed next to the battleship this runs them just fine lol

[@MrKuuktuu]

Alright, well definitely this is not working for me...did or tried doing sites these last few days and another 2 hours this morning, for a total of about 6 hours in 4 days. Found and scanned down around 40 sites, and nothing; no escalation, didn't find no ded sites, didn't see no special mobs. I even went to watch other videos, but didn't find any other good videos like yours about the subject. But one thing is sure nobody is making 16-18 bil for 14 hours of exploration. Not saying ur a liar, just saying you exaggerated your exploration adventures a little bit...something my uncle does when he goes fishing. So after 15 hours of trying this out, gonna go sell my hecate back to mining I guess. Which sucks because I spent all the savings on this, over 4 bil isk, even sold my mining ships, lol. Do you know how long it takes to make 4bil mining???

[@BonkersY2K]

Dude I dont know what to tell you I did it last night live on stream on KZbin, scanned down combat signatures got escalations cleared just over 800 mil in 2 hours but I am doing g this 1 handed atm. I dont mean to sound like an ass but I think your missing something. There were others in chat who were getting 2 and 3 bil results. I'm sorry it hasn't worked out and that I couldn't help you get to the route of the problem but I appreciate you taking the time to feedback fly safe good sir

[@MrKuuktuu]

​@@BonkersY2K If I would have known, I would have watched your live stream for sure, maybe I would have found what I do wrong. But it doesn't really matter anymore decided I would quit Eve, go look for something else. Something with a little more excitement, action. It was nice playing these past few months, glad I discovered this game. I kept playing the game because I had a feeling the game had something more to offer. But can't seem to find it, each time I try something new, it's lacking excitement, fun. Mining was the same ol' target and activate miner. Missions were target and activate gun, escalations was running around, target, activate guns. It has become redundant...know any other good space games??

[@BonkersY2K]

Elite dangerous isn't bad but requires the same click to activate, of star citizen ever developed that has so much potential but No Man Sky is fantastic, you get discovery, multiplayer, FPS, pve and pvp. 👍

[@MrKuuktuu]

@@BonkersY2K Been shopping for another space game...but there is nothing out there. Played elite dangerous and no man sky a lot, and steam has no real interesting space game. So decided to give escalation another chance. 5 hours this morning, scanned and did countless sites. Which gave me a dread module at 60mil, and a mid-grade hydra gama bpc. Plus it gave me 4 escalations...do you know how much I made in these 4 escalations?? :)
