The plan

[K'man]

Heh, I've hit all three of those links in the past. The solo dread video was one of the few videos that got me thinking about solo dread. For initializing the sites, I'm guessing you just whittle the first wave down to the trigger and leave it like that for the 4 nights? Do you eventually clear the site on the 4th night for a little bonus ISK, or just stick it out with the escalation waves?

I tend to salvage my sites, as it is such low-risk ISK and something I can do while winding down. Run ~6-7 sites, put away the fleet, and start salvaging the wrecks right before they start to pop.

Correct you leave the initial spawns trigger and the site will respawn. 4 nights of doing the same site and now that the sites don't change their ID after DT it is so much easier to keep track by using an excel sheet. I used to salvage but I've rotated sites to where I'd have 10 or more sites at a time. I'd rather do the 10 sites pick up the blue loot without visitors. You still have to keep your salvager alive by subjecting your carrier to getting ganked. Up to you more reward for the risk but for solo activity not worth it to me. On the 4th run of the site ill complete the entire site so it despawns and I remove it from my rotation.
