Line 1:

Every sovereign nullsec solar system has an Encounter Surveillance System. The ESS stockpiles a portion of the bounties awarded in that system, and then slowly pays them out to the pilots who earned them—if, that is, no one else steals the money first.

Every sovereign nullsec solar system has an '''Encounter Surveillance System''' or '''ESS'''. The ESS stockpiles a portion of the bounties awarded in that system, and then slowly pays them out to the pilots who earned them—if, that is, no one else steals the money first.

== The ESS field ==

Line 30:

Battleships are the largest hulls which can enter an ESS field, and while within an ESS field battleship pilots do not have to worry about being dropped by capital ships.

== ESS ~~bank mechanics~~ ==

== ESS banks ==

Each ESS is divided between a small and easily compromised 'Main Bank' and a much larger and much more secure 'Reserve Bank'. Note that, counterintuitively, it is the Main Bank which is the smaller of the two.

Line 62:

To avoid passing through well-guarded entry-points to nullsec in known space, players can use filaments or wormholes to enter and exit nullsec. Anyone doing this should use an expendable [[Jump clone|clone]]

A good, cheap starting ship for this activity is a [[Stabber]] fitted with a shield tank, no guns, and an oversized (100MN) [[Propulsion equipment|afterburner]], which gives it unbeatable speed for making a quick getaway within the ESS field. A probe launcher lets the pilot do basic probing for wormholes, while a prototype cloak is useful for waiting out timers, waiting while probing, and hiding from enemies. The Stabber insures well and can be blown up with little financial loss.

A good, cheap starting ship for this activity is a [[Stabber]] fitted with a shield tank, no guns, and an oversized (100MN) [[Propulsion equipment|afterburner]], which gives it near-unbeatable speed for making a quick getaway within the ESS field. A probe launcher lets the pilot do basic probing for wormholes, while a prototype cloak is useful for waiting out timers, waiting while probing, and hiding from enemies. The Stabber insures well and can be blown up with little financial loss.

~~~put~~ in ~~stuff about robbing banks using gangs here~~~

A small PvP-fitted gang can also use the ESS system to try to provoke a fight in enemy territory, with the prospect of an ISK payout if the enemy won't engage.
