- | Gas sites can be divided into two broad categories, WH gas and K-space (regular space) gas sites. WH Gas is used in the creation of T3 Cruisers and destroyers, and is found only in WHs. K-space gas sites are used in the creation of combat boosters aka. drugs. In general, WH gas is more valuable than K-space gas, but the process of harvesting the gas is very similar. For the purposes of this guide, it will be assumed that you are harvesting K-space gas in Catch, Lime Cytoserocin. | + | Gas sites can be divided into two broad categories, WH gas and K-space (regular space) gas sites.

- | The venture fit should be cheap and effective. A good starting point is: | + | Before you can gas huff you'll need to have some prerequisites as well as some basic game mechanics under your belt. |
+ | * An exploration ship. [[public: | ||
+ | * Familiarity with exploration mechanics by using the probe scanning window and probe scanner. [[public: | ||
+ | * Being able to use external site mapping tools such as Pathfinder. [[public: | ||
+ | * You will need an Overview tab with gas clouds on it. The default eve Mining tab has it as well as the Z-S mining tab. [[public: | ||
+ | * Finally, a sense of how to be safe in nullsec. As a helpless mining ship you stand as an easy target so be sure to know [[playground: | ||

+ | === Gas Huffing Procedure === | ||
+ | Before you can start huffing gas you must find a gas site. Gas sites are similar to relic or data signatures; Gas sites must be scanned down using core scanner probes. One way you can more easily track down these sites is to ask other explorers if they' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Duo Nebula== | ||
+ | - Warp to the gas site and bookmark each cloud. (Make sure you have Gas clouds in your overview/ | ||
+ | - Dock up your exploration ship and bring out your fitted mining frigate. Travel to the system, and warp to one of the bookmarks you made for the actual clouds.\\ (This will warp you to the very center of the cloud itself which offers some protection from cloaked enemies since the cloud may decloak them.) | ||
+ | - Turn on your shield hardener module. | ||
+ | - Activate both gas harvesters at once and then click on the gas cloud. **This is very important. It is crucial your harvester modules are on the same cycles.** This is because the harvesters are on the same 'cycle tick', so each time you ' | ||
+ | - Huff until your ore hold is full. | ||
+ | - Dock up and deposit the gas and repeat until the cloud(s) has been all mined up. | ||
+ | - Once both clouds have been harvested, the site itself will despawn and should respawn somewhere in the constellation. This is where you can attempt to find it yourself using your exploration ship again. | ||

- | === Huffing the gas === | ||
- | So you have found yourself a nice WH gas site and you are sitting ready to go in your venture. There are 2 things you need to do. | ||
- | - DO NOT WARP YOUR VENTURE TO AN ORDINARY PERIMETER RESERVOIR | ||
- | - It has turrets that instantly alpha your venture so huffing in it is extremely dangerous unless you have cleared the turrets. | ||
- | - Get a timer pulled up. As you hit warp, start the timer. You have 12 minutes. | ||
- | - Light your MWD, start burning towards a cloud. As you draw into range, target it. | ||
- | - Once you get close to the cloud, start huffing. Manually pilot your venture into the cloud and stop in the center (as seen in [[http:// | ||
- | - The cloud will decloak enemies, and give you a chance to escape. [[http:// | ||
- | - As the clock ticks towards 12 minutes, select a celestial and prepare to warp out. | ||
- | - Once the rats spawn GTFO! | ||
