I've been in the Jita area for two days now, exploring in a Heron. Yesterday I found four ghost sites. I haven't come across any in a long time, and here I got four! Two Lesser, one Standard, and one Superior. I lost two Herons running these sites. The first loss was due to slingshotting around a can too fast and wandering past the range of my scanner. Bang! The second loss was somewhat intentional. Time was running out, and I risked a red hack…just one more click on it and it would have been mine. Nope.

Having a cargo scanner was helpful. Two cans in one site had less than 2000 isk in loot! I didn't come across any major finds…about 7-9 million per can, and I only run one can per site. Further, more than once in the past, having a warp core stabilizer saved me when rats showed up and scrammed me.

Unintentionally, I discovered that my Stratios fit can survive a Superior Covert Research Site when rats show up and all cans explode. I was scrammed and down to 14% hull when the rats warped off. I'm unsure of whether I tanked all damage, or whether my flying away from the rats eventually put me out of range. Scary. They showed up in about 90 seconds. Wouldn't want to do this again!
