The Choonka Happening: Total Victory For Voyager Syndicate

On January 6th, 2024 the Minmatar Fleet Alliance (FL33T) attacked Curatores Veritatis Alliance (CVA) nullsec systems in Providence. Voyager Syndicate (-VSY-) pilots joined the fight to help defend Providence from the Minmatar scourge.

Before the fight started -VSY- had a small gate camp in Dital on three different stargates, as the Minmatar pilots were previously seen traveling from lowsec through Amarrian highsec even when criminals. But FL33T decided to use a titan bridge instead of traveling by stargates, so nothing happened.

But after the fight was more or less over, the gate camp resumed and eventually Minmatar ships started to get caught in the camp. The first of which was this Viator carrying an Astrahus citadel, the loot fairy was gracious.

Not long after that the gate camp was moved to the Choonka side to catch people leaving the fight via stargate. A few ships were caught on that side as well, including a Stiletto, Sabre and a Sleipnir command ship. Some help was had from two Red Alliance pilots in catching the ships.

But nothing could top what happened next. The FL33T Sleipnirs were finished in Providence and started to head back home via stargate instead of titan bridge. They eventually came into Choonka from Dital and started locking up all the ships on the gate. Sitting in my Phobos and Exequror I was confused, but then they started firing at me and confusion turned into laughter. The Curatores Veritatis Auxiliary (CVAA) which -VSY- is a part of, is not in the Amarr militia. So when they decided to engage us, CONCORD intervened and blew up over 7 billion ISK worth of Sleipnirs and other ships.

Nullsec Ratting Guide For Newbros

Doing combat anomalies or ratting as it's called can be done in nullsec with cheap and expendable ships. In this guide I will show you two T1 cruisers that can be used for ratting and you can make 15-20 million ISK per hour with these ships. Depending on where you live, you may need to use different ship fittings, these fits are optimized for Sansha space. In Sansha space the NPCs or rats as they are called (hence the term ratting) deal EM and thermal damage, and they also have a weakness against EM and thermal damage. So ideally you want a ship that deals either of those damage types to take advantage of their weaknesses, and you'll want to tank against those damage types. But for example in Angel space the NPCs deal explosive and kinetic damage, so those NPCs require different weapons and fits. Ship fittings For semi-AFK ratting I would recommend the Vexor which is a Gallente cruiser, or the Arbitrator which is an Amarrian cruiser. Choose whichever you have better skillpoints...

How To Bookmark Wormhole Signatures (Wormhole Scanning Tips)

This article will just be a primer on how to properly bookmark wormholes in EVE Online. We will mostly be covering wormholes from high security space (highsec) to wormhole space (w-space) in this post as Voyager Syndicate currently bases partly from highsec. Almost never bookmark from the probe scanner results When you bookmark a wormhole from the probe scanner results, you will land 5-10km off the wormhole where the signature is located. Ideally you want to land at zero on the wormhole when you warp to it from your bookmarks, to accomplish this you want to bookmark the wormhole from your overview. So first warp to the scan result, then bookmark the wormhole from your overview. However a fresh wormhole will only open its exit once it has been warped to. So the exception to this rule is that if you are living in a wormhole system and you are rolling wormholes (collapsing them through reaching the mass limit by jumping multiple heavy ships through them), then you can bookmark the new wor...

Rook PVE Fit For Low Class Wormhole Ratting

In this post we're going to take a look at the Rook, which is a Caldari combat recon ship. One of the interesting features of the Rook is that it cannot be detected by directional scanners, which makes it ideal for when you want to be stealthy such as when doing PVE combat sites in wormhole space. Another good feature is that the Rook can blast over 600 DPS with Heavy Assault Missiles, although it is locked to a kinetic damage bonus which doesn't matter in wormholes but if used in lowsec it's recommended to stay in Guristas space. I haven't tried this Rook PVE fit in class 3 wormhole sites, but it could be able to do some of the easier combat sites as well. One thing to consider in wormhole space is the fact that you will most likely use a Mobile Tractor Unit (MTU), and once that is deployed it will be visible on the directional scanner. To reduce your visibility on d-scan, consider dropping the MTU after the first or second waves of sleepers. This way your d-scan visib...
