I’ve always been curious about Abyssal Deadspace in game, but I’m not very good at the technical aspects of eve, so I had avoided doing them and just stayed content collecting the filaments used to enter them. How they work is quite simple. There are different tiers, with different storms going on in them. You use a filament and warp to a ‘deadspace’ (basically CCP’s version of a dungeon) – but you leave behind a trace of your adventure, which people can scan down and potentially be waiting for you when you exit. To that end, you should make a safe to run these, far away from anything already in the system. Since I was just running T0 in a Tristan I decided to not even bother, if someone wanted to wait for me and gank me in a 0.6 that is OK.
I watched some videos on how to complete them, and dove right in. I did end up losing a drone almost immediately, but the T0 wasn’t too bad. I’m not good at knowing the buildings to avoid (there was one that did damage to my drones, and I forgot to fly away from that one) but I cleared two, and made a few million ISK. It also rewarded me with more filaments so I can try other ones in the future. I don’t know if the loot is worth it, I imagine for the higher tiers it must be, but it didn’t take long and I learned a lot. I don’t know that I would go so far as to say I enjoyed running it, but that might just be because I was feeling a lot of pressure, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Eventually, maybe I’ll progress towards a T1. We’ll see!
