Anyone here did actually destroyed the Aether Queen? I need to kill this bastard for a Cosmos Mission but I cant, I tried with diferent ships and fitings but the only thing I get is shield down, she tanks her armor very well (at least for me).
Any idea how can I kill she?
Thanks Felcas

Five Ogre II drones took almost half an hour to bring down the swine. It's doable but it's NOT easy (I tried swapping to Praetor II's and it was impossible; part of the problem is I don't know to what damage type she is most susceptible).
For sure, if you can tank the damage she's giving out, just bring someone along in a close-range blaster setup to knock the bejeezus out of her. ________________________________________________

Well, nothing named 'Aether', but a few ships named 'Queen': For a 'New Breed Queen' http://npc.elfarto.com/view.php?id=24282 You want explosive damage. Lasers or EM drones will chew through the shields, but then get stuck on the excellent EM/Thermal resists and repping.
So, depending on your ship: fit autocannons, switch missile/drone types, or bring a friend. ---

1. Use alt in Retibution to aggro. 2. Use Dominix with blasters and 5 Berserkers II.
Takes about 20 min.

There was 2 of us, a cerberus and a mega with blasters, gone down in 5 mins. But i have to say, that was the first time when i simply had not enough dps to bust it alone (in a cerberus)
The problem was not shields but her insane armor tank.

Because everyone doing level 1 missions has got at least those two characters available to them ... ________________________________________________

its a level 3 mission
and easily soloable in a BS and i say a BS as the queen is a little harder than a normal drone controller (L4 drone). but certainly not as hard as some have said.

That explains how my alt could take it with a faction standing of +1.3

Lies!!!
New breed queen Armor: 8500 EMP 80% EXP 60% KIN 70% TER 70% Repair Chance: 85% Amount: 1200 Duration: 10.5 s
Drone Controller Armor: 6500 EMP 40% EXP 70% KIN 60% TER 50% Repair Chance: 85% Amount: 600 Duration: 12.5 s
And it does 3.5x more DPS then Controller.
I suppose he is one of the Clueless alts

actually the agent that gives you the mission is L3
please check this ingame and you'll see.
also its a cosmos mission so its slightly higher than normal.
COSMOS is totaly different. The agents dont reflect the difficulty of the missions.

That is a weird bug. I guess I can't blame you for reading it wrong if your client was writing it wrong
She's probably pretty easy to kill, now that I know to use explosive drones. I didn't have any on me at the time, so I just sat there and ate tea while my Ogres worked their way through. ________________________________________________

Originally by: Mikal Drey Edited by: Mikal Drey on 12/08/2006 16:52:35 as to above : there are many ways to kill NPC's and many ways to beat their tanks. use your head and game experience. Its a souped up drone controller. its "tank" maybe better but it dies just as quick.
Well this way every armor tanked ship is a beefed up controller And probably you invented some magical way to dispel enemy tanks but generally this accomplished by shooting at enemy using ammos/drones/missiles. There are few tricks or should i say bugs(?) with some drone overseers but speeking of this particulat queen, it has respectable dps, superb tank (better then Rachen Mysuna) and likes to shoot defenders.
So this is clearly not a slighlty better version of controller.

Well you will be surprised but given the fact that ogres are the most dmaging drones and difference in resists is only 10% berserkers will take the same time to kill it

npc's tanks are affected by NOS.
autocannons have a tendency to break those higher tanked BS's due to the constant damage over time
being minmatar, Quake blew the crap out of her.
again DoT affects the tank and i much prefer medium drones (TII valks) for this reason.
have u ever noticed how some PC's just give up and die ? this may or may not be a bug but ive seen the mammoth fight for its life before and other times seemingly forget to rep and drop like a stone.
sit at optimal etc. and get 100% hits rather than losing vital DoT
defenders . . . switch tactics and use smaller missiles or no missiles at all.
npc's have a chase range and targeting range etc. and u can use that to manipluate them to your advantage.
like the drone controller/infiltrated outposts easy method. sit outside their lock/targeting range and you wont get hit.
maybe its just me but her tank wasnt much to speak of. theres some republic deserter BS's that a L4 ani agent give out that are far worse as well as ketta tommin / kael nutan / that b'stard that drops hjralds sculpture . .
target painter/tracking enhancers all help make life easier.
i think the biggest problem with missions and this reflects alot in COSMOS is that CCP have alot of ship mods that help you kill your target and therefore they improved the NPC's alot yet alot of people just dont want to "sacrifice a slot" or train for mods. Ive had many issues with COSMOS and its difficulty rating and ship class restrictions but I managed every mission (matari) in ani and Gallente without much problems.
theres no miracle just experience and the willingness to adapt to my environment.
