-The loot section at the bottom of [[https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Serpentis_Narcotic_Warehouses|this article]] shows that up to 3x Coreli A-Type modules may be dropped.  On April 14, 2021 I got an escalation from a hisec combat anomaly, which I ran in a VNI.  The escalation was completed with virtually no challenge.  I did get three modules.+The loot section at the bottom of [[https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Serpentis_Narcotic_Warehouses|this article]] shows that up to 3x Coreli A-Type modules may be dropped.  I've gotten four multiple times, and once got six.  What that article doesn't tell you is that the total loot value can vary quite a bit, from the minimum of a couple million, up to about 241 million, my record as of April 21, 2024.  You'll also occasionally get a Daredevil BPC.
  
-What that article doesn't tell you is that the value of such modules can vary quite a bit, from the minimum of a couple million, up to about 227 million.+I've used a variety of ships to run these sites...Moa, VNI, Gila, Stratios and Cerberus.
  
-The ship I favor these days is a Cerberus with heavy missiles.  Skip the first room and burn to the gate, kill everything but any sentry guns, and in the last room, burn straight to the Stronghold and tank everything else.  Destroy and loot the Stronghold and get out.  While many ships can run these sites, not all can tank the damange and go for the Stronghold.  Be careful.+The ship I favor these days is a Cerberus with heavy missiles.  I use a Missile Guidance Computer II with a precision script, removing the script for the last room.  I use Scourge Fury heavy missiles exclusively for these.
  
-{{2021-04-14-SerpentisNarcoticsWarehouseLoot.png}}+With the Cerberus, burn thru the first room to the Security gate, kill everything but any sentry guns in the second and third room.  Put the Precision script back in cargo before entering the last room.  Burn straight to the Stronghold and tank everything else.  Destroy and loot the Stronghold and get out.
  
-On June 16, 2021 I got an escalation to one of these sites in 0.3 losec space.  I took a Moa out for this run, which I haven't flown in quite a while.  It ran the site just fine, without even needing to kick in the shield booster.  Loot obtained was not as lucrative as last time, but still good at 32.9 million.  The Moa fit used included an eclectic set of guns.+While many ships can run these sites, not all can tank the damage and go straight for the Stronghold.  Be careful.  If using a Stratios, be sure to kite the rats at 20-25km, and you might have to kill all the rats in the last room.

-On July 23, 2021, I ran another one of these sites in the same MOA as above.  It was not a particular challenge.  This one was a few jumps deep into nulsec.  I've been getting a fair number of DED3 and DED5 escalations lately, but typically do not run even the DED3 sites because they've always been in unfamiliar nulsec territory.  The location of today's escalation was in a general area I know to be almost empty lately.  So I went for it. +
- +
-The loot was on par with expectations.  34 million isk total, 27 of which was the single Corelli A-Type 1MN Afterburner, 4.1 in overseer effects, and a nice Davedevil BPC worth somewhere between 25-40 million based on contracts at this time. +
- +
-{{:20210723-ded3loot.png}} +
- +
-I ran three of these sites on July 23, 2021.  En route to a fourth site, I got caught in a bubble in nulsec and lost the Moa.  While I have another Moa on hand, I'm far from a trade hub and don't have everything I need to be feel comfortable in it. +
- +
-On July 26, 2021, I got two escalations back to back running hisec combat anomalies.  One was in 0.5 space.  I ran this one in a Stratios, just for the fun of it.  This is normally a stupid move, as losing this ship would hurt vs a Moa.  I just wanted to see how it would run it, which it did handily, though at one point the rats almost got to my armor.  EDIT - they got thru my shields only because I failed to kite them. +
- +
-What's equally as memorable is that this site also produced a Daredevil BPC...that's two in a row.  The rest of the loot was so so.  No Coreli modules. +
- +
-This is also the first time I managed to get all of the overseer effects possible (i.e. 5 thru 9).  You need to run thru both the check-in tunnel and security corridor to do this.  So run one of them, warp out of the site, warp back in, and run the other tunnel.  Easy.  We're not talking a lot of loot...all five of them only get you about 4.4 million isk. +

-===== Record Loot! ===== +
- +
-On Wednesday, 8/5/21, I got two of these escalations back to back when running hisec combat anomalies.  Both escations were in 0.2 space in Aimoguier. Both were run consecutively in a Moa.  The first site netted 36 million in loot, with 33.4 of it in a Coreli A-Type 5MN Microwarpdrive.  The second site netted a record 134 million isk, with a 101 million Coreli A-Type Multispectrum Coating, and 29.5 in a Coreli A-Type 1MN Afterburner, +

-On Wednesday, 10/6/21, I picked up the following new record loot in a site in .04 space, which was an escalation from a Serpentis Hideway in 0.6 space.   Note this was another case of getting 3 Coreli modules. +

-On Wednesday, 12/28/22, I scanned down one of these sites in a 0.4 losec system, and came away with 184 million.  On Friday, 2/17/23 I also came way with 184 million.  That particular site was found the day before, but was not run till this morning.  Somehow it survived the night - lucky for me. +

-===== Five Coreli A-Type Modules! ===== +
- +
-On August 12, 2021, I ran this escalation in 0.2 space in a Moa.  Often I skip these esclations in losec space, but I'm familiar with this area of space and lately it's been sparsely traveled.  While [[https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Serpentis_Narcotic_Warehouses|Eve Univeristy]] shows that these sites can drop up to three Coreli A-Type modules (and I've gotten three before), today I got five!  The total value is somewhat underwhelming, but I'm collecting these lately vs selling them. +

-===== Six Coreli A-Type Modules! ===== +
- +
-On April 24, 2022, I ran this escalation in nulsec.  Picked up the modules below, total value from escalation still only 79 million isk. +

-===== Record Loot October 2, 2023 ===== +
- +
-On this date, I got items worth 227 million from one of these sites in losec.  Coreli A-Type Multispectrum Coating alone was worth 189 million isk.  The previous record was 226 million in hisec on September 23, 2003. +
-====== Escalations a Plenty! - Updated August 7, 2021 ====== +

-I have no idea what's going on, but on July 23 and 24 I got a crazy number of escalations.  All of these are from hisec combat anomalies, and these particular escalations are all DED3/10.  This morning I got two back to back in 2 anomalies.  And after a few more got a third! 
  
-Running the first one, in nulsec, I got 46 million in loot.  Yes, I used the trusty Moa with the eclectic gun collection.  The overseer effects came in at 3.8 million.  The Coreli A-Type Thermal Coating was only 2.4 million. The Shadow Serpentis Small Armor Repairer was about 6 million.  The money pot was the Coreli A-Type 5MN Microwarpdrive at 33.1 million. 
  
-{{:20210724-narcoticswarehouseloot.png}} 
  
-Between the evening of August 6 and afternoon of August 7, I got a total of 11 DED3 and DED5 escalations.  Wow.

 The biggest ship you can take is a battlecruiser and T2 variants, excluding T3 cruisers.  I've run them in a Gnosis (~160 million), Deimos (Gallene HAC, ~520 million) and a Cerberus (Caldari HAC, ~250 million isk).  Fits for each shown below.  I prefer the Cerberus...you can't lose with heavy missiles, and there's no problem tanking damage. The biggest ship you can take is a battlecruiser and T2 variants, excluding T3 cruisers.  I've run them in a Gnosis (~160 million), Deimos (Gallene HAC, ~520 million) and a Cerberus (Caldari HAC, ~250 million isk).  Fits for each shown below.  I prefer the Cerberus...you can't lose with heavy missiles, and there's no problem tanking damage.

 The Eve Uni wiki states that the "stolen passkey" you need to enter the second room is consumed on use.  I've found that not to be the case.  So once you run this for the first time, and steal the passkey from the electronically sealed container, keep it and reuse it next time. The Eve Uni wiki states that the "stolen passkey" you need to enter the second room is consumed on use.  I've found that not to be the case.  So once you run this for the first time, and steal the passkey from the electronically sealed container, keep it and reuse it next time.

 +Despite the statement above re drones taking damage, the Caldari Navy Hornets have been used for many of these sites and not taken any damage.
 +
 +In the first room, use Scourge Fury (kinetic) missiles with the precision script.  Burn towards the gates while nailing rats.  When done, reload Mjolnir Fury missiles and put the precision script in back in cargo.
 +
 +In the second room, burn toward the Phi-Operaton Protector, put all drones on him, and orbit at 35km.  He can't hit you past 30km and you'll take very little damage.  When thru his shield with the EM missiles (his shields have zero EM resistance), reload Inferno Fury, take him down, collect the loot, and warp out.
