Its true, I do enjoy these wormhole engagements. Each and every one of them. Sometimes a bit too much. I know, they are fairly inexpensive ships, newer capsuleers. I still enjoy it.
I am in a bit of a quandary however. I am still trying to figure out how to best catch our fearless explorers. I have tried to hunt the wormhole connections closest to the established trade hubs of Jita, Amarr, Dodixie. I have overnighted. I have cascaded through the chains of low class wormholes. For now the experiences are varied and generally pay off when I have low expectations.
We find our intrepid traveler in a venture and sucking gas. When successful this is a very lucrative enterprise. For the hunter, it's a fun dance of can I get into a position to catch the prey...without the prey leaving the gas signature. For some gas suckers, in high class wormholes they even manage to leverage the sleepers that spawn in the gas signatures as protection.
Fortunate for me, I overnighted in this particular wormhole and had the signatures all scanned down and bookmarked. Another bit of good fortune, when I inspected and set my observation ping to pinpoint the precise location of the venture, I was not decoaked.
This allowed me to land, decloak, capture and eliminate the target.
No trophy this round as our traveler managed to get the pod off before I could secure the lock and scram. With my work completed, I depart the wormhole and proceeded onto the next hunt.
For now,
Be Well New Eden!
