Sniffing Gaz you say? Time to put on your 'Canadian cautious' hat and follow these tips, just like sliding on ice:

Imagine every other pilot in the system knows about that gas site, bud.

  • In Wormhole : DScan is your best friend. Smach that "v" key like there's no tomorrow!

  • In Known Space : Local, then DScan are you best friends

  1. First off, warp your ship to that juicy gas site, eh?

  2. Now, here's where you show your creative side – give those bookmarks names that'll make even Bob crack a smile! How about 'Timbit# 1' or 'Double-Double #2,' eh? It's like namin' your fave Timbits, only in space! And if you're a Wormholer, remember, the fancier the name, the happier ol' Bob is, eh? Right-click those clouds, save their locations, and put that stellar bookmark in your space backpack, eh?

  3. Now, take a quick detour, like poppin' over to a friendly celestial hangout, and then swing back to the cloud. It's like circlin' the rink before that perfect slapshot, eh? You're savin' time and hittin' that gas sweet spot like a pro hockey puck!

As you start siphonin' that gas, make sure you're aligned to the station or a safe spot, eh? Keep an eye out for any party crashers on your trusty DScan, bud. Make sure your overview has 'enemy ships' on it, just in case a sneaky ship tries to crash your gas harvest, eh? Don't make it easy for those interlopers.

But hold your horses, there's more! "Gas Huffing" has got some 'eh-sential' tips that'll give you the upper hand, eh? Bookmark those clouds and cozy up inside 'em – just like takin' shelter from the cold. You'll have a jump-start on those sneaky attackers, usin' the cloud volume to catch 'em uncloaked, eh?

Don't forget your 'Tim Hortons' run – regularly zip back to a nearby station and stash that gas, eh? That way, if your ship's off to the great unknown, your gas stash ain't goin' with it!

And as you're peacefully harvesting away, take a gander at Reactions, eh? Turnin' your gas into somethin' even more valuable is like turnin' poutine into poutine with bacon – can't go wrong, eh?

Give your ship a 'Canadian winter' makeover – toss in modules like Multispectrums and Shield Extenders to give your ship more survivability, eh? Sometimes, even a hull survives a close call – just like bearin' through a snowstorm.

Last but not least, don't break the bank, eh? Keep that fit wallet-friendly – maximize your profit, minimize the loss. It's like orderin' the value menu at the drive-thru, eh? It stings less when you drop a few pucks.

So, all you hosers out there, get ready for some gassy adventures, eh? And guess what, I'm even throwin' in a cheap and cheerful fit for ya, just like extra bacon on your poutine! Enjoy, and may Bob be with you!

Storytime: tell us about your first solo PvP kill for $5

Listen, lemme tell ya this story that gave me shivers down my spine! My very first real solo kill, forget them ventures and explorers, happened during a live event for CSM 17. The host decided to set up a 1v1 showdown at Jita's sun to settle the score between the 2nd and 3rd place contenders.

Now, at that time, I was a representative from Nullsec, standin' against THE representative from Wormhole space: the most dangerous folks in the game! I kept my cool and thought, "Alright, I know the Hookbill, but instead of going for shield, let's switch to armor and use that extra mid slot. And since it's a duel, no need for a scrambler, so let's double web and ECM."

Mark came at me with a Maulus and his pesky dampener... That put him in the lead right at the start as his drones tore through my shield. The host chimed in, "Well, that won't be a long fight," as my shield started melting into armor. But that's when the tables turned: all his drones ended up in my damped range. So, I began picking 'em off one by one, while I was ECMing my secondary. With my cargo hold full of armor rep charges, I could keep going like this for quite some time.

When he was down to his last drone, I slingshotted myself close enough to his ship to finally target and double web him! That's when things got spicy! I gotta tell ya, I'm still Dam proud of that victory, mate!

I'm Sorry Eh!
