Edited by: Buraken on 10/01/2005 22:48:04 Haven't played lvl4 yet.. but the "sabotage the... something something" in lvl3 is completly BullSh... (the MINMATAR one btw)
I can do all lvl3 missions in my cruisers and inty's while half sleeping, but THAT one.. impossible dudes and dudesses
They tackle... webb, scramble etc etc dont even wanna think about it but the equivilant of that on the lvl4 would prolly also be the hardest, no?

Pirate Extravaganza, hands down.
The second hardest is Silence the Informant.
All others are relatively easily soloable, at least in a Raven.

I allready done that mission a few times and even in a Battleships its somewhat tough. I think it's called "Stop the Saboteurs" or something like that. It's a 4 encounter mission handed out by amaar navy agents where you have to fight minmatar ships. The first and last Spawn are a pice of cake, but the second and third spawn deals somewhat high damage. Spawn one is just some frigs and a Transport Ship, spawn two contains 2 intys(close in insanely fast and web, while also dealing medium damage), 2 Stabbers(those hit over 40km, and they hurt), 2 normal Frigs and 2 transports, Spawn 3 contains 2 stabbers, 1 Rupture and a transport and spwan 4 contains 1 Rupture, some frigs and a transport.
It's a really difficult mission compared to other lvl3 ones.

I agree Pirate Extravaganza. (Deadspace) When I jumped the 4th gate and the scanner filled and I pulled it all the way down to the bottom of the screen and STILL there was more. At that point I decided doing it solo in my scorp wasnt the best idea. That damn agent can find another lacky to die.
Deadspace missions are the hardest by far. You cant warp in grab a BM, warp out and back in then bombard from long range. Oh and a little advice, you should fear a pack of cruisers way more than a few battleships.

Pirate Extravaganza is by far the most difficult lvl4 mission that I have done.
A Corp mate and I tackled it. It took us nearly 3 hours to complete in Ravens that SPAM Torps.
Also, I have to agree, Don't worry about the Battleships, worry about those damn cruisers....they are NASTY
BTW, We made 11 mill each on that nission, but nearly lost our ships. SO....Be warned.
You will need atleast 4 Battleships if you want to do this mission properly

Cool, Pirate Extravaganza was my longest and hardest lvl 3 mission so I like the idea of an even tougher version at lvl 4.
Loved it when 2 spider drones kept me stationary long enough for an entire fleet to get close enough to batter me! Some tense moments to be sure.

I was unpleasantly surprised by that mission. I can do most of my lvl2 missions without bother in my Arbitrator (I'm a miner, this missions thing is new to me ) I was given that mission by my Ministry of War agent and I couldn't believe how quickly the Stabber tore me apart, I only just got out. The Breacher is fine my drones can take it easily but the single Stabber is too much
Still, it beats sucking Veldspar all day
Edit: Sorry this had nothing to do with a lvl4 mission... -------=========--------
I <3 Veldspar |

pirate extravaganza and then Silence the informant
Im doing minnie agent, so have to fight alot of angels, dmn hard to tank, and with the tempest in all its glorious abilities its a tough time getting thru missions. Its not enough to succeed. Others must fail. |

The assault.. npc is attacking your station, and instalock you as soon as you undock. normally the 110k rats is not a problem, but in large numbers they eat you up even if you tank good. second and third spawn, bs's comes into action too. Dont know if its a 4th spawn as I had to go to work Mission also have a 2 hours timelimit (saw that one too late)

Can I just remind you guys that the 'sabotage' mission does NOT require you to engage the first Navy fleet. They are purely there for 'effect'. (Although I usually do womp them anyway for tags and named stuff on occassion)
Silence the informant and Rescue the Damsel are my 2 pet hated lvl4s, the rest I solo comfortably without having to warp out at all.
Starsi dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them. |

Only lvl 4 I've had trouble soloing is the 'silence the informant' mission.
First area is a drone that tanks damage like no other... it took about 3 entire loads of 6 siege launchers worth of torps to knock that bad boy down solo....
Second area is just chocked with merc's... 6-7 wingmen, more cruisers than I could count and 2-3 BS's. And that was just within 30km of where you arrived...
No trouble with Sabotage or Pirate Extrav but the first time I did the Mordus headhunters mission, the final BS is a Raven that knows how to shield tank DAMN well... took a little while and a warp to the station for more ammo.

The hardest rat I've had, is the Supreme Parasite Drone (I think thats the name).
It has 6500 armour and 77.5% resistances on all stats.
I had to re-fit my Raven to kill that one, but apart from that, you can do them all solo fairly simply if you take your time.

Pirate Extravaganza is by far the hardest. Its relatively straightforward to complete, but the bonus level after the 5th gate is just ridiculous. I know of people who have soloed the last stage but with some crazy tanking setups (triple large armor reps etc) and even then they have only just escaped with their lives. Don't try the sixth stage unless you are either totally crazy, have 4 other people with you, or your name is "Mr Tanky".
Silence the Informant is not massively hard, it just takes ages to complete because the drones, especially the infested dominix thing all tank like crazy.
The loot on both these missions, in my experience, is rubbish.

i hear a lot of silence the informant's. i dont actually find that mission hard, just takes so bloody long (omg that last drone) but the rewards are totally worth it after looting. soloing it took me 3 hours to complete. only done it once at lvl 4 tho. as far as the pirate ex goes, i havent done that yet and ill look forward to it. its just whoever designed these missions to be team based got it seriously wrong. im a little over 3 months into this char and im soloing level 4 with relative ease. CCp, think you can make it so a gang can recieve a mission in level 5? would be nice for everyone to work towards the bonus. ---

Silence the Informant one (pretty sure that was the name of it)...I had a couple of these and they were different each time. The worst one was over 5 levels of Deadspace Madness. Multiple 2 Mill Bships on Level 3, they were mercenary ships with tanking from hell. Level 2 was relatively easy, just clear out the 10-15 sentry guns smashing the heck out of your ship. I think this one started with drones on the first level (again, more tanking). The fourth level looked like a fleet battle. I warped on top of a 3 Mill Bship and his interceptor cronies. I swear there must have been over 100 ships on that level. I did notice there was another one (bship) lurking in the background.
We never did finish that one. The time bonus given was 1.2 mill isk if it could be completed in 45 mins. There wasnt a snowballs chance in hell that was going to happen.
I seem to be getting the tougher level 4 missions, I was only able to solo about 5 of them, the rest were insane. My corp mates with me said that the 0 space NPC's werent even close in comparison to the firepower and defense those missions were!
