Never give up
I've been tracking Admiral Triton for quite a while. I think this was my 7th attempt. I knew he was disappearing everyday in the evening for almost 50min but never regularly . I was very unlucky - he always 'checked in' few minutes before attacks.Little investment in drives then?! Didn't help.
Decided to track his activity for a little bit without much scanning. In about a week I've realised that sometimes he oversleeps his FS - this was my chance !!!
Change of the strategy to attack in the morning rather than evening and results below.
