Lost a Ferox to this mission initially... and then came back with two friends in my Scorpion and promptly lost it too.
I had done the first part in my Ferox with not that much trouble. It was harder than I expected... but never got my shields below 50%
Warped into the third part and yeah... so a lot of NPCs.. but there were a lot in the first part too. BOY... was I wrong.
I got smart after that and came in my Harpy and bookmarked it and warped the hell out and came back a replacement Scorpion (better equipped to shield tank) and took them in groups of 4-6 at a time with Cruise Missiles and 2 heavy NOS.
Expensive lesson. |

Rough going... but I pulled it off in my Prophecy. Try and take down the support frigs first, you have a chance to actually move around. It is a bear, to be sure, there is no shame in warping out/in...

Did this today with corp mates.
Initially I went into the first part alone in my ferox, realised I'd forgotten my drones and went back to pick them up. When I went back again there were 30+ ships there. I managed to escape and called in help - notably a dominix set up to full explosive armour tank, without that we would have had no chance (cheers wolfy!).
The 3rd part was the most fun, so many minnies to blow up! I would imagine it wouldn't have been quite as fun without the tank though.

It's easy to solo it...
Part one is easy in a Raven. Part two, well a shuttle will do the trick. Part three takes a Manticore (or higly tanked BS) and some time.
Almost lost a Raven to part three first time I tried it.

I have lost Raven during that mission, but i think it doesnt count cause the loss was triggered by EVE crash. CCP reimbursed my ship.

I have only had this mission once, managed to solo it without warping out but only because i had:
5 x low-grade crystal implants Dread Shield booster & Amp
I was boosting over 1100 shield every 4 seconds and at times i was struggling... damn glad i had those implants installed!!

I did this solo in a dominix, 2 LARIIs and 5 cap rechargerIIs to run the tank for ever, 3 explosive hardeners and repped all the damage that they dealt while my drones and 250mm guns picked them off

Lol, dTjß vu :)
I remember when the first multi-wave missions with warp scramblers came out and CCP ended up having to add a warning to the description. I got lucky that time and by sheer luck took the scrambler out first. Boy was there much weeping and nashing of teeth. I think that was over a year ago now :) -- (Battle hardened miner)

I've not lost a ship, but guys in my corp have lost a pair of BC and a BS. Not recently though, we've all quit accepting the mission because of its PITA nature.

Tech Secrets 3/3
Me 3, Tech Secrets ZERO
How are you losing BSs to this mission? I do the bookmark trick yes, but the support frigs still get on top of me, but they dont' last long under my dronage ownage.
I am facing Minmatar Navy/Thukker, so maybe for some reason they are easier but...the problems peeps are having with this mission baffle me.
Geddon w/ 7 Mega Beam Laser IIs w/ some tracking support and a Large Arm Reppy II and 100mn AB does the trick EVERY time

Was helping a friend in my Raven... Second waves spawned before all the others were dead, and I slowly but surely (being warp scrambled) lost the ship. In a raven. That's insane. RMR = screwed up.

I'm seeing a recurring theme here...
People are being warp scrambled and can't get out when they get overwhelmed. Seems to me the answer is kind of simple.
I haven't lost a ship to this since I tried it the first time in my Caracal. I use a Ferox. With a warp core stabilizer.
Haven't lost it yet. 5/0

No problem in my Zealot, just jump in and she soaks up the damage, 1st wave is dead well before the next wave shows up.

No problem in my Zealot, it takes damage as a sponge Hard mission in my Proph, especially because I only have BC at lv 3 Very fun mission in my Retribution :)

Edited by: DaRuLe on 03/01/2006 14:38:36 Just warp in, create BM, warp out, return to 100km from BM. Kill all support frigs first, after that kill all frigs and finally kill the cruisers. Don't forget to fit at least 1 WCS.
Did that one in a Raven (twice) with 6 cruise launchers.

completed this easy in a short range cruiser setup megathron (all 250TIIs and antimatter) with a big tank and 5 heavy drones. Warp in close and blow them up. I did try it in an assault frig as well but that didn't go quite so well

The first time I warped out on 20% structure on my Scorpion. Got a friend with a harpy to help and it was over.
The second time I did it solo. Armed with the knowledge that they do a lot of explosive I put 5 hardeners on the Scorp + shield booster + shield amp + shield extender.
Warped in, headed straight out and killed the C2 and C1 frigs. Turned around and wiped the floor with the rest of them. I activated the booster 1 time :)
