=== PHASE 2: SOLRAY POWER PLANT ===

Near the Solray Gamma Alignment Unit container, there is a structure named the Solray Observational Unit. This structure, when hacked, allows the hacker to collect a trinket which, when placed in the proper container, reduces the strength of the damage cloud created by the Solray Power Terminal. When warping through the Power Terminal's damage radius, vessels may sustain [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/File:3P38_Superior_5.png some damage] but it's not too serious to warrant much concern.

Go ahead and hack the Alignment Unit.  

| style="padding:8px;" | ''Stay on the side opposite the Solray Power Terminal -- it does about 600 DPS omni-damage without being aligned. If someone has been there before, but you can't tell if the Power Terminal is Aligned, the name is changed for one thing, but also you can inspect the Alignment Unit containers to see if the correct disc was placed inside. Last resort - bring in a cruiser that can tank OR a friendly logistics cruiser in: ~650 EHP/sec or roughly 250 HP/sec is enough.''

<span style="color:green">SUCCESS:</span> The hacker is free to open the container and collect the alignment disc.<br />

<span style="color:red">FAILURE:</span> No penalty.  

Zoom out of the site until you find the correct jetcan to place the alignment disc. There are three: Infrared, Radio and Gamma Ray Alignment Discs. The Infrared Alignment Disc goes in the Solray Infrared Alignment Unit, the Gamma Ray Alignment Disc goes in the Solray Gamma Alignment Unit, and so on. Collect the disc and burn over to the appropriate container: if it's the Radio Alignment Disc, then take the rift near the Solray Observational Unit to warp over to that container, then take that rift back over to the main area.

With the Solray Power Terminal aligned, it does considerably less area of effect (AoE) damage while a vessel is in its proximity, which is about 14-17km in radius from the object itself.  

Drop the mobile depot near the lone (Dented or Mangled) Storage Depot which is between the Solray Gamma Alignment Unit and the Infrared Alignment Unit. If your Relic Analyzer II is equipped, hack it while the mobile depot is setting up. Otherwise, wait near it (do not cloak, lest the site may despawn) and after it is ready, refit into the capacitor stable self-repper fit with a Relic Analyzer II. It may be prudent to cargo scan all nearby containers including the ones inside the Power Terminal's proximity to check for dead-end worthless containers. (I have had Intact Storage Depots that were empty.)

<span style="color:green">SUCCESS:</span> The loot is ready to be looted.<br />

<span style="color:red">FAILURE:</span> No penalty.  

With decent 50% resistances to all damage types across the board, the damage cloud does about 15 damage per second. As long as you can repair more than 30 Effective Hit Points (EHP) per second indefinitely, it's perfectly sustainable.  

For the frigate pilots, skip the next Phase and go right to Phase 3, below. Tech III Strategic Cruiser and the Nestor battleship may attempt the next step. An overtanked Stratios (2 plates and 2 large shield extenders) should be fine. Frigate pilots should expect to lose their ship.  

| style="font-size:90%; color:#FFFFFF" | {{{1|Normally, without being aligned, the Power Terminal area of effect damage cloud does 600 DPS to a regular Tech 1 resistance profile, assuming no hardeners. When suitable hardeners are fitted which provide reasonable 65-ish% resists to all damage types, the DPS is about 150 in total, on a Stratios. The Moa which was used for a certain test of the cloud ate 228 DPS, and that had a 62/59/69/74% resist profile. The area of effect radius is approximately 14km from the Power Terminal unit itself.

From my findings, that did not actually happen, and the damage per second remained identical. A disc that has been placed into a container cannot be extracted back out again.}}}
