Bug This can't be intentional
The event exploration sites disallow exploration ships. Astero and meta only. Please tell me this is a bug.

Edit: CCP has fixed the turrets podding capsuleers.
The higher tier explo sites will bubble and pod you btw.

On the one hand fuck CCP for putting people's pods at risk with no warning, on the other hand what the fuck kind of idiot warps to a brand new site in a 2b pod without any knowledge of the mechanics smh

People who expect the same copy paste event exploration site behavior from every event

u/Severonian Apr 30 '26
To be fair, it IS a copy paste behaviour of the event site, but everyone forgot about that one

u/PersonalNobody449 Apr 30 '26
It actually is a copypasted drifter observatory infiltration but with a little twist

So their expectation was their failure, when reading would have saved them.
Typical outcome sounds like. Describing most people I know in real life.

Astero and meta only.
and magnate, and magnate navy, and heron, and heron navy, and imicus, and imicus navy, and probe, and probe fleet

The fleet versions of the T1 scanners are more combat ships than hacking ships, but yes technically

u/Kae04 Apr 30 '26
They have the same scanning and hacking bonuses as the t1 versions plus a combat bonus, they're designed to be hacking ships that have the ability to defend themselves (to an extent).

Never underestimate the TD/SD hero(i)n navy when doing exploration. That ship can mess up most explorers.

As long as you aren't attached to the idea of getting there or back alive, sure.

u/Kae04 Apr 30 '26
It's only lowsec, unless you're gating through corrupted systems there's very little that can catch you in a frigate

u/goDie61 Apr 30 '26
I'm sorry? If you don't think a heron is the easiest catch a gate camp can get, I don't know what to tell you.

u/LTEDan Apr 30 '26
I mean, the easiest catch a gatecamp can get is a no scout freighter. I can confirm this as a former Rancer dweller.

You're an explorer, take a WH like everyone else. There's hundreds of paths into LS.

u/goDie61 May 01 '26
How could I forget that not only is it impossible to camp a wormhole, but there's a wormhole connecting every lowsec system!

u/cmy88 May 01 '26
You know you can scan an N944 and bypass gates entirely. You don't need access to EVERY LS system, you need access to 1. Once you're in, the probability of getting camped is significantly lower. If you want easy access, Amamake, Avenod, Amo all easy to enter.
Pro-Tip from a LS explorer: Probe Navy is best at this. Fit it for speed. And then you know, just don't fail your hacks.

You aren't subject to ship restrictions until you start running sites. Getting to lowsec is not relevant to this post. It's getting around lowsec at a time when everyone knows there will be a glut of shit explo ships running around that's dangerous.

u/cmy88 May 01 '26
My bad. Your original complaint was getting in and out of LS. If you are under the assumption that camps are that common within LS, we're really not talking about the same things anymore.

I just did one in Osvetur. Here's what my experience was, hopefully it helps someone else.
Bought an Astero to get into the site. Warped in, immediately cloaked up. I saw the "disable the Master Security Node" verbiage in CCP's Capsuleer Day launch notes or whatever, so I assumed, I'm going to go hack that thing.
Flew to it, cloaked. Overview showed NO objects within 10km of me. I got about 25 KM out from the node and I decloaked, it claiming "Your cloak deactivates due to proximity to a nearby Asteroid Set 2 Large 3. There was no Asteroid near by.
I flew to the node, and when I got within 10km or so, everything started lighting up. There was a 2 or so minute timer to hack and deactivate the node. The Sentry guns I think started firing on me too.
I hacked down the site and saw the red core and clicked one past it and of course there was a half strength node on the other side. By the time I Cleared that, failed the can, got back in to hack the can again, I was blown up by the Sentry guns. Then also podded for fun.
I bought a second Astero, did the same sequence, only this time I was able to successfully hack the master node. I STILL got decloaked claiming there was an asteroid nearby.
Once I cleared the Node, the security systems shut down. However, be warned, the sentry guns are still targeting you so you cannot cloak.
Also, the trip wire thingies, are still active, I damn near died to one of those, thinking they were deactivated.
All in all, I got the following from the site. I'm glad I did it once, I have no interest in doing it again.
85x Warpath Operational Intel
76 Warpath Strategic Data
200x Capsule Cascade Firework
1x Historic Capsuleer Day Clothing Crate.
Good luck out there. Fly safe o7

Use a cruiser, tank the site. Doesn’t take a genius.

Was wondering if this can be ton. Recommendations on how much dps and of what kind you need to tank?

Try with a Probe Fleet Issue

Nah bro don't disrespect the Probe Fleet like that. That ship is a solo FW monster.

Yep. You're talking to the #6 probe fleet pilot on zkill so trust me, I know. It's my main solo ship!

It is the copy of observatory infiltration I assume. So no t2 exploration frigates but you can bring astero or stratios.

u/Own_Scholar_7996 Apr 30 '26
Yeah, why allow in the ships that will be scanning down 90% of these stupid fucking event sites?
4
u/EuropoBob Apr 30 '26
Because the sites bubble you and the T2 ships can fit an interdiction nullifier.

Merc Dens allow T2 Destroyers and Frigs.
I've even messed around in one using a vengeance.
