Forward Operating Base VNI Solo

[@MrFranklin1980]

This method does not work anymore. NPCs attack drones

[@smalltimer4370]

Love your style of game play very creative. With that said, I solo these in a Marauder without much trouble - slow, though definitely doable within 40mins

[@brettpace3883]

I tried in a Golem and got rekt! Fitting and tactic, please?

[@SmalltimR]

@@brettpace3883 The key to doing these is with neut resist; 'cap batteries' are your friend ;) Beyond this, I can't think of anything in-terms of fitment that will prove helpful, the Golem having completely different requirements As for strategy, here is how I've come to solo these in record time; [Fitment details] 1. I use a mobile depot, to swap fit and make quick work of the smaller ships - combined with drones 2. Also swap fit to optimize DPS - 5000-7000 DPS 3, Use MTU to collect loot - too big to carry with Marauder [Strategy] 4. Warp-in, drop MTU, create bookmark at 0 5. Warp-away, drop another transient bookmark in visual range 6. Return to bookmark (greater than 279km from base), wait for support ships 7. Deal with support ships by order of magnitude(size) [Notes] 8. Bastion mode an absolute must 9. MJD not needed, slot better used for neut. resist module 10. There are times when a hauler arrives prompting another support fleet - sometimes the fleet is minimal and can be repped-off, others where you will need to warp out of range and tackle them - my observation is that these are time-based and that higher DPS will usually avoid this from happening. With that said and with a bit of practice, these encounters can be done in under 30mins solo - improved since my last report - hope this helps

[@VolpinLP]

Is it possible that you show your fitting? I tried this but i cant stand this tactic so it would really help me. Love, Volpin

Ótimo

[@Placesificator]

where fit?

[@teabaggin]

whats the vni build?

[@NorBdelta]

Might be worth warping in with a shuttle, making a bm at 0, and then warping to the bm at 50km with the VNI, means less distance you need to travel to escape neuting from it.

[@anton95ish]

So I've been trying to run these on sissy and can't manage it to get it work when it's spawn any frigates because you know they have webs too also are you running mid or high grade snakes

[@shamuscarmicheal7444]

that worked for me. nice and thank you

[@itzaxel8903]

what mwd do you use?

[@FlameSoulis]

Late, but Core B-Type 500MN Micro

[@MrXLR82]

Is this profitable? How many people runs these sites?

[@SmalltimR]

I have found that it is not profitable The first time you will get descent loot, and with a good ship such as a Paladin, you can actually do this in under 30mins. However and in accordance with CCP's tactics, the more of these you take-down the less loot they provide - the last time I did this, I got one module worth less than 10m - I'd also add that there are no payout for solo players whatsoever in contrast with fleets, who will get up-to 800m - great job CCP!

[@FlameSoulis]

Wait.... hold on: How do you have 5 Wasps out? ...Oh, CCP changed this in 2019 because of botting and to make alpha available ships weaker, so they reduced the bandwidth and gave extra benefits to weapons... ugh.... Anyway, I was able to use the Cyrpto's Killboard (sorry, had to look) to recreate what I think is the build: [Vexor Navy Issue, Crypto's FOB VNI Solo Fit] Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Nanofiber Internal Structure II Core B-Type 500MN Microwarpdrive Republic Fleet Medium Cap Battery Imperial Navy Cap Recharger Medium Capacitor Booster II Drone Link Augmentor II Drone Link Augmentor II Medium Ancillary Current Router II Medium Ancillary Current Router II Medium Ancillary Current Router I Wasp II x5 Nanite Repair Paste x95 Navy Cap Booster 400 x15

[@watchingwolf8092]

thanks for the fit

[@passoentretenimento9667]

Ótima fit

[@skyydragonn1]

This fit only runs 448 DPS. Not enough to prevent structure repairing. Implants required?

[@bryanherradon63]

no fit? wtf....

[@avisfratama422]

🔒

[@bladerunner6583]

lol, ain't no VNI...... too many Wasps out, it's an Ishtar

[@machopi]

it's a pre-nerf VNI, before ccp nuked it's bandwith capacity
